What did you cook or eat today (August 2021)?

[Morning Glory]

no tablecloths

Tablecloths are considered a bit 'old school' in the UK. Many Michelin starred restaurants and pubs have bare wooden tables (or other surfaces).

bare tables are also easier to wipe clean with disinfectant in these days of Covid scares.

Today is MrsT's birthday. Last night, we went to supper at what is considered the nicest/fanciest restaurant in our community (meaning, to get something nicer/fancier, the next closest places are in the suburbs of either Dayton or Cincinnati).

Happy Birthday to Mrs. T.

Today's meal is a repeat of the roast beef sandwich I had recently.

Hey CD, we were of a similar mind this weekend, except I smoked mine. Edited post to add pictures.

Didn't know that Cuisinart made smokers!!

Burger from the tavern around the corner:

Right now, I'm making pork and sauerkraut goulash, and it starts with a cup of garlic and six pounds of onions. One of the instructions says to cook the onions and pork down "until the pan is nearly dry."

It's been at a strong simmer for a couple of hours now, and it's still nowhere close to being nearly dry. There's a lot of water in six pounds of onions!

Dragon noodles.

It is probably made by someone else, and re-branded. I'd never seen one before, either.

Was the beef patty as dry as it looks? I don't see any juices on the bottom bun.

Yeah, it certainly wasn't medium, the way I like, but then they didn't ask me, either.

Last nights dinner cooked by Dil was spectacular. It really exposed my pathetic camera skills. He stuffed the chicken with a very spicy farce, trussed it. Then he poached it with veg till cooked. It was then blasted in the oven to crisp the skin. The stock was used to make the rice pilaf with fruit and nuts. The cooked vegs is blitz and mixed with other ingredients and spices as a sauce shown in the bowl. The other bowl was some sort of tzatziki. Pud was walnut baklava with ice cream. It was all amazingly scrummy. Thankfully Trines friend is coming out for 4 days so we have a break to plan a reply. NB he also made baked stuffed aubergines but we did not get around to those. Dil has no portion control.
