What did you cook or eat today (January 2025)

[pocofan]

I grilled hamburgers and deep fried the potato peels I had from making mashed potatoes yesterday. Had never did this before but will do it again.

Salad and grapefruit and miso glazed tofu. The 'blob' on the tofu is the sauce used to deglaze the frying pan. Tastiest bit!

An automated warning or a johnny bigpants, special constable gone mad mod type warning? 😂

So I laughed

Sensitive content? Reminds of the line in Withnail and I “As a youth I used to weep in butchers shops”
Maybe that’s why? 😜

And possibly a certain shape made by the ??? Actually I don't know what that implement is. Is it a whet stone?

Yesterday did some MG eggs. They’re marinating now.

Made 12 panna cotta with mango compote (not yet added).

and apparently Morrisons ran out of chives so subbed it with dill! Even the manager giving me my click n collect looked perplexed 😂
He laughed when I said Yer I know but I can never find dill when I want it so I’ll have it anyway!
Into the freezer it goes.

Oh and made some mayo’s. Well black pepper aioli and dill n mustard to be precise. Got a nice smoked salmon fillet (M&S Tsar fillet for smoked salmon loving Brits) for tomorrow and some accidental Dill so it had to be done!

That's definitely an insane substitution. A bit like running out of bananas and giving you pineapple!
I wouldn't mind though; dill has to be one of my favourite herbs.

Freestyling with eggplant, beans, tomato and more.
Just a little bit of Thai curry paste that was bought in Thailand and is nothing like the stuff we can get. Much much hotter. I learned the hard way.
I ended up with a very tasty meal
