What did you cook or eat today (December 2022)?

In Kuala Lumpur in the 90s a friend asked us to cook a couple of dishes for a party he was having at his place. He said that he had an oven with gas burners but nothing else. I prepared the ingredients for a chill-con-carne and my wife decided upon a tom yam khung (prawn). We took the ingredients plus the pans and the cooking and eating implements but discovered that he didn't even have salt and pepper!

Skirt steak, broccoli rabe, and cucumber slices.

Hers. Yes, it's a very, very nice kitchen, much better and bigger than mine. The first time I went over there, I brought my knives, then found that she was massively stocked with Wusthof and similar high-quality knives. And All Clad cookware. And Riedel stemware. And Weber cast iron skillets...

“Darling, when I hold you close, and look deep in your eyes, I’m reminded how much I love…that kickazz kitchen of yours!” :wink:
 
Last night, I just made up the extra sauce from last week's Palestinian Upside Down rice, into another dish of it. I had everything I needed, which was another 500g of rice, 2 more aubergines and 4 more potatoes. Everything else was done, so just a case of defrost the extra sauce, cook the aubergine and potato slices, assemble and bake with the rice.

No picture because just like last week, it's a mess on the plate.

Big ol’ salad, with more tomato vinaigrette:

The salad looks great but I'm now jealous of those saltine crackers. You sent me some and I loved them. There is nothing close to them in the UK (which is strange). Cream crackers are the closest match but don't have the same 'tang'.

I love that you love these, because saltines are my favorite cracker, and they’re the most basic of crackers available here. They’re somewhat lowbrow!

They are such a classic. I was surprised that they aren't available in the UK.

They make a version that is only salted on one side, so they work within my low sodium diet. I had some a few hours ago with some chunky peanut butter. I usually have them topped with some cheddar.

You´re right. The closest thing is Jacob´s Cream Crackers, which have about enough cream in them to spread on a squirrel´s toenail.
When I get back there, I´m going to see if I can find Nabisco crackers.
 
I managed to get a semi decent photo of the Palestinian Upside Down Rice (even if it is the right way up rice! :laugh:)

Palestinian Upside down Rice, the right way up!

I also raided the garden veg plot for some broccoli (very tasty and as fresh as it can get, cooked within 15 minutes of being harvested.)

So the evening meal. I roasted the Brussels sprouts with S&P plus oil and served them with a touch of balsamic glaze.

There was also a decent portion of raspberries that never technically left the veg plot :whistling: .
