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

[Morning Glory]

Hello!

Today I cooked the chicken tikka which has been marinating in my fridge for the past two days:

...and then it went into a chicken tikka masala:

It looks delicious.

Good photo. That is a very tall cheesecake. Did you make the chutney?

That pie looks amazing! I had one at The Hairy Fig in York that was so good I immediately asked for another to eat on the train.

I’ve just eaten my first proper meal of the year & my kidneys have stopped aching at last. Small, rather intense, NYE party here in The House of Loud.

Today I was up early to hit the supermarkets, teen came with me and when asked what he’d like for dinner he said Penang style pork curry. I also found some reduced chicken so I made a green curry as well.

There’s heaps of curry to fill the freezer.

Good to see you back. I thought we had lost you!

I made some oliebollen bread pudding as well.

The pork pie was the same in all images. Why it looks "blueish" in the last image I don't know. I'll try post processing tomorrow.

Tried adjusting the blue but then the plate border turns grey so there isn't much to be done. What colour is that mat?

Thank you. It was only 5cm in diameter, but still a bit too much. No, the chutney was a Christmas present.

Surf and turf for lunch today. Filet mignon, tiger prawns in a light tempura batter, Winter berry sauce and Jerusalem jackets (artichokes baked, flesh removed and blended with garlic butter and Parmesan cheese, skins deep fried then re-filled)

The steak was a bit overcooked.

The place mat is blue/gray. The initial images had the pie on the kitchen table (on a white chopping board), borrowed daylight from 1 o'clock and 3 o'clock with a white cardboard reflector underneath the camera. The second image was on the work surface (a little later in the afternoon) with virtually direct daylight at 9 o'clock, white cardboard deflector directly opposite.

The steak looks perfect to me. As does the whole plate.

[I would perhaps prefer a larger portion]
