What did you cook or eat today (January 2024)?

[SuzyB103]

That looks very good. I like the idea of the apple and butternut soup. Did you make it yourself?

Yes!

Wifes at work doing wages so I opened the biscuits. 4 with my cup of earl.
Dont know what tea will be as I'm overruled daily.

That MAY change!!

Apple & Butternut Squash Soup with Croissant Croutons (which are super crisp and flaky!)

Yum. You have caused me to add croissants to the food order for tomorrow!

Gluten free croissants (that I have to eat) aren’t worth the bother. The Sainsburys Taste the Difference gluten free ones are alright but certainly not a croissant as you know it and are quite dry so I don’t bother with those either.. but being dry I bet they make excellent crispy croutons! Looking forward to trying it out. Thanks

Salad with orange vinaigrette, apples, toasted almonds, and dried cranberries:

That was meant to have oranges on it, and I peeled and supremed the only orange I had, and partway through, realized it was using the same knife I’d been dividing up raw beef and raw pork with earlier.

Oops

I was halfway through it before I started to worry about which knife I used to chop the lettuce…then I figured, “Too late now,” and continued on eating!

Sounds good though.

Two Tbones that I super hot seared on cast iron and then basted with a thyme butter sauce, with some corn.

I bet you he found an old, white kipper tie and used that instead.

Last night of my vacation so I decided to make it nice with steak with mustard-caper sauce. Steamed broccoli on the side. Positively delicious!

 

[TastyReuben]

I made a tourtiere, but I was so pleased with it, I’ll be posting all the pics over in the SPAM challenge, as some of the filling had that in it.

So playing catch up.

Been a boring weekend on the food front...

Saturday lunch

Saturday evening meal, yet I woke during the night that hungry I couldn't get back to sleep for over an hour, until I gave up, made a sandwich and ate it. Then I was asleep in minutes! All the veg came from the veg plot.

There's Palestinian upside down rice cake in there, with veggie balls, mini courgettes, various beans and warrigal greens (also from the veg plot).

Sunday lunch

A snack hubby requested (dairy free ice cream, with mango and passionfruit coulee)

Sunday evening meal (Mughluba or Palestinian upside down rice from the freezer), a small helping of garden peas and a mini jacket potato with veggie balls (hubby had to finish my plate. I couldn't).
