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

[Wyshiepoo]

Tamarind beef

This was excellent. Meat tender yet solid. Good heat without being overpowering. Great sour, almost umami hit from the tamarind.
Got a "you can do this again, but with more 'sauce' " from Mrs Wysh.

From a book that accompanied a kit I was bought years ago.

Drying oranges and ginger for my homemade mulling spices. The oranges are pretty:

My wife retired (and she’s 8 years younger than I am!) and decided to celebrate with a trip to Belize. We were here only a few months ago, but this time we’re escaping cold temperatures of Michigan to enjoy the balmy Caribbean coastal temps. I will post other cool pics elsewhere, but here is some of the food we’ve enjoyed.

Stewed Chicken with Rice and Beans:

Conch Ceviche:

Massive Burger:

Arrichera (Flank) Steak with Rice and Beans, Cole Slaw, Mashed Potatoes, and Fries:

Congrats on the retirement and the trip!

I found these at Costco, I love to poke around there for new stuff.
Did them in the Air Fryer and served them with a large Chopped Salad.
Real Good!

No pics as I ate in the car on the way home from an outing, but an awesome Borek with spinach and cheese. Going back, and will grab pics next time around. NOT a good car meal, lol, all the pastry flakes I'll be vacuuming for a week agree.

First attempt at okonomiyaki. Pretty good but non stick pan needs replacing. Presentation only a 6 because of that.
Taste was a 9 though.

I don't really know what that is.

No pics - but some friends came over with A BAG FULL of cheeses brought in directly from France.
Comté, brie with REAL truffles, goat cheese with nettles...and a bottle of Alamos Cabernet Sauvignon.
I could quite happily live on cheese!

I usd to think the same and we would eat the same. bread & cheese featured a lot in our diet until 8 years ago. then the allergy kicked in big time. prior to that I had needed to use goats or sheep's milk and associated butter, cream and yoghurt but had usually been able to eat any cheese. then in the space of 6 months I couldn't anymore. the same had happened before we married so over 25 years ago, and in the space of 8 wks, I could no longer drink cows milk, eat cows butter, yoghurt or cream. both times we know what the trigger was, just not the why.

non-dairy cheeses still have a long way to catch up in variety sadly. but I have 3 or 4 decent home-made ones now.
