Was out for a lot of the day, Mr SSOAP went hunting and came back with some Cully and Sully soup.
Spruced them up trying out gluten free croissant crouton’s. Lovely. Much lovelier than it looks

 

[medtran49]

Marinated carpaccio over a bed of lightly dressed baby arugula, garnished with ParmR shavings, plus arrancini made with risotto with some leftover chopped prosciutto, with a simple marinara made with passata.

 

[TastyReuben]

Some lentil soup from ALDI and a plate of cucumber, radish, and cheese.

To try out the easy peel pressure cooker method LissaC kindly posted I had to then do something with the eggs!
I’d been hankering after Pikobi Eggs for a while so it was a no brainer.
They photographed well, I think the newer iphone camera is rather excellent.. rascal hint hint

First up normal Pikobi Eggs, this is a basic but very tasty recipe from the unlikely sounding source of the ‘Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge’ cookbook.

Then as I am thinking of doing the boys Star Wars themed food when their exams finish end of next week I decided to go up a notch into the Cantina (the bar in Star Wars) 70’s style, no droids allowed.

Yep square (ish) eggs
These eggs weren’t my usual. When I redo them I‘ll use Burford Browns for a more vivid orange.

If you’re wondering if the pressure cook easy peel method works yes it does! I’ll write that up in a tiny bit more detail on the thread it was being discussed on later

These are not the eggs you're looking for... You should probably just deliver them all to me so I can "dispose" of the evidence.

 

[Puggles]

Some broccoli and cheddar thing (I didn't make it) and a quick side salad with a quick homemade citrus dressing.

 

[badjak]

I used my left over curry, added some stuff to it and now it was really really good
I'll never be able to replicate it though

 

[rascal]

Lazy day here. I just made tomatoes on toast. Lots of s+p.
Tomato are really tasty here atm.

I tried these taco things when they first arrived on our shores and decided I did not like them but that was decades ago so time to give them another go!

Yep still don’t like them
It’s not the flavour combos, they’re great
It’s the impracticality of the vessel‘s.
I don’t mind messy food but crisps that fall apart and force the contents to spill, it’s daft.

If I'm correct there's "crisp tacos" and "limp tacos"? I think I tried the "limpy" variety and they don't make a mess.
