What did you cook or eat today (December 2023)

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Lunch and a treat. Ice-cream for the sore throat.

The apricots are home grown, off our tree.

So plenty of vitamin C and plenty of treat!

Me and my wife; that would have lasted about a minute! LURV calamari!

I raided the veg plot for the last of the soft red fruit and found beans, warrigal greens and Swiss chard enough for an evening meal...

So on the freezer raiding front, I located a tub of last year's sorrel and rocket pesto and added chickpea pasta and some carrots.

Hubby didn't quite 'cook' the greens as much as warm then enough to not wilt, but both are young enough to be edible raw...

There's a hidden sausage roll as well. If the greens had be wilted, you might have stood a chance of seeing it!

The pesto is quite a thin one and having come out of the freezer was warm from a microwave defrosting, so spread outwards rapidly. It was so a very tasty pesto though with a nice garlic kick to it. It had a pinenut base to it for a change.

I’ll eat fish and chips and tuna salad (tuna from a can). MrsT’s shorter list is probably what she won’t eat, because she’ll eat lobster, shrimp, crab, scallops, etc. She won’t eat calamari, oysters, and a couple of other things.

Made some nice gelatinous chicken stock for freezing:

Have you ever tried fresh seared tuna? It has a much milder flavor, and smell (way less), than canned tuna.

Do you mean like a tuna steak? That would be no. The only way I’ve eaten tuna is drowned in mayonnaise.

Yes.

Sorry, just can't wrap my head around eating canned tuna, even the top tier stuff, with that smell and taste, but not willing to eat fresh tuna, which has a very small fraction of both.

Just to be on the up and up, you will NEVER catch me eating or being anywhere near canned tuna from the common brands. I will, once in a while, use the top tier canned/jarred tuna that has to be ordered or come from a high end specialty market in a nicoise salad. On the rare occasion Craig wanted regular old tuna salad, he either had to make it when I wasn't going to be home for a while or go outside to make it. Just the smell will make me gag.

I tried some of that fancy canned tuna, packed in oil, because a few people told me it was better than the Chicken-of-the-Sea water-packed stuff, and…I didn’t care for it at all.

I like Bumblebee solid albacore in water. When I was a kid, all they had was packed in oil. I can't deal with that anymore. Tastes like motor oil to me.

No LJS around here. I also like the LJS chicken planks. We drove a couple of hours to go to one in PA once.

I look at LJS sort of like basic maintenance on a car... a lube job for the digestive system.
