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

[Yorky]

BTW, my sad emoji was for the loss of your friend. I hope the smoker is still getting used.

Not only have we lost the smoker, he also died without revealing his excellent pork rib marinade recipe. He was from Texas.

Those barrel type offset smokers (firebox off the side of the cooking chamber) are very popular in Texas. I've never had one, but am thinking about it.

I am a dry-rub guy, so I can't help you with a marinade.

More cottage pie (with a smattering of Waitrose Essential Brown Sauce).

I'm having trouble getting to sleep, so, I'm watching a flick and eating some vanilla Swiss almond ice cream.

No need to be sad. The ice cream was wonderfully good and it was just the right sleeping pill. It helped me get to sleep without further problems.

It's been a long long long time since I had dolmades. You make me miss them.

I seem to have a good time with people who run restaurants. We like the same thing, - food. I have good friends, a family, that runs a chain of Greek restaurants in my area and dolmades are on the menu. But with the pandemic and greater distance since my move, I haven't been to see them in quite some time. I would love a gyro sandwich.

Prior to my meeting and making ties with those folks, my favorite Greek restaurant included a belly dancer and Greek music as part of their ambience. Sadly, those folks went out of business long ago and their restaurant is now a Thai restaurant.

That looks yummy!!

Thanks. I overcooked them; I didn't have the patience to thaw them properly. The taste was great, though. Tons of garlic paste, Ponzu sauce, tom yam sauce, chili powder and lemongrass.

Simple fare. Sauteed mushrooms/onions/peppers, pan fried potatoes in schmalz and garlic and a beef burger.

 

[MypinchofItaly]

Garam Masala flavoured rice and chicken burger

Today's breakfast featured my own creation, eggs Californian. It is similar to eggs benedict and eggs florentine, but goes further. It features baby shrimp cloud eggs, crab meat and lox on golden dill English muffin halves.

With my eggs Californian, I enjoyed a nice glass of iced orange juice.

Portuguese government imposed that on friday nighta and during the entire weekend, only people with vaccine or covid infection recovery certificates can eat inside restaurants. This is the 1st time I'm dining out on a Friday since I got my vaccine certificate. Conspiracy theorists are gonna say this dinner was paid by Bill Gates I had prawn karahi and the boyfriend had chicken chilli

We had a do-over with the pork goulash, this time with the sour cream, and I liked it a lot better. Still not my favorite with the kraut in it, but it was much improved.

 

[flyinglentris]

Today's meal was lox salad topped with tobiko (flying fish roe).

 

[Timenspace]

Pasta con funghi, a new batch, equally good. Baked aubergine.

For snack I had kefir and some dried veg crackers, in my imagination that resembled astronaut food, but .
