What did you cook or eat today (December 2023)

[pocofan]

Texas fish-n-chips. Fried catfish (cornmeal dredge) and some really good fries. The fish was not quite as good as mine , but still good. The fries were pretty much perfect. Sam's Seafood and Steaks in North Houston.

Unplanned Taco Tuesday at one of our favorite places

Special for today, ground Beef hard shell Tacos for $1.95 each ... really not bad at all !

Air Fryer Tater Tots topped with my Paniolo Chili, chopped Onions (and shredded Sharp Cheddar cheese for Moi) ... ONO!!!

So change of plans again.
Islas coming for the night.
I cooked cauliflower bake with aged cheddar. Very yummy. Her fave vege and from our garden. Fried chips. Chicken schnitzel. And microwave veges. 3 mins .
10/10 in her opinion.
Another change I'm sleeping downstairs as she sleeps with her nana. They talk for hrs.

So, for the first time ever, I made a traditional Spanish Gazpacho soup... lovely.

We've been ripening the tomatoes all week and it was well worth the wait.

I just forgot to reserve a little of the tomatoes, cucumber or red peppers for the garnish. So I improvised and used dried flavored fava beans.

I followed this recipe (Authentic Spanish Gazpacho Recipe) as closely as you can when Aussie sized veg are involved (I've come out with 10-12 portions! I guess my tomatoes and red peppers were a little larger than theirs!) . We'll definitely have it again.

Shallow fried thin-cut chicken breast, succotash (cream corn, lima beans, butter, and sugar), and Knorr's Parmesan noodle side for dinner last night.

Made potatoes fondant last week for the first time. Turned out great. Wanted to play with the recipe a bit so I made them again. Very pleased. Made New Orleans BBQ shrimp. And garlic bread to go with. Probably my best meal in awhile.

Dessert was an apple pie galette with salted caramel vanilla ice cream. Craig ate 1/3 of my Caprese plus his and 2/3 of the apple pie galette. Honestly, I don't know where he puts it. I'm over full right now.

Gazpacho soup (traditional Spanish style). Hubby liked the croutons and had said I can make them again.
