What did you cook or eat today (August 2023)

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Made evening meal...
Yep, it's a bowl of soup! Lol

Recipe - Burnt Aubergine Soup with Rice and Herbs

I'll add chickpeas to it for tomorrow night and serve it in one of the camping stove bowls. We're away for 2 nights from the morning, so both nights will be soup. It's actually really tasty and tastes of 🍆...

Pray tell is the cornstarch before frying or dusted afterwards??

Russ

Yep, before frying. It’s a way to help seal in some moisture and make the outside crispier. You can always tell it’s been done to the fries because they’ll look a little bubbly on the outside.

I made a smoked salmon and eggplant-cream cheese (with roasted garlic) dip. It tastes pretty good considering it's made with eggplant! It's chilling. I'm gonna spread some on warmed eggplant chips.

Ok this was actually delicious. I topped it with a little slivered avocado and little bit of the "everything bagel"seasoning.

Out for an early birthday supper for MrsT (60th in…nine days), here’s where we ate, in Gettysburg:

It’s set up to somewhat recreate a provincial colonial dining experience (sort of like the City Tavern in Philly used to do), so no overhead lightening, no obnoxious piped-in music, nothing like that.

The food:

That’s a French onion soup, with the addition of small cubes of beef, quite good.

MrsT’s deconstructed shrimp cocktail, which she was very pleased with.

I didn’t bother with the salads, just mixed greens, dressings (blue cheese for her, fresh herb vinaigrette for me) were house-made and tasty.

MrsT’s Flesh & Fowl, and a baked sweet potato out of the picture.

Two pics of my filet, unusual for me to order that, but it was delicious.

They also served a basket of house-baked breads - white rolls, a chocolate bread, and their specialty, a cinnamon-clove nut bread.

We were so full, we opted out of dessert and are going back for that and boozy coffees tomorrow night.

Her flesh and fowl looks like surf and turf?

Looks amazing. But, the fowl looks just like lobster tail.

Sorry, that was me. It was “Of Flesh and Fish.”

Yeah, I know…not a fish, but that’s what it said. Maybe they didn’t know better back in 1776.
