What did you cook or eat today (July 2020)?

[epicuric]

It was your courgette dish a few weeks ago that inspired me, but I couldn't find your recipe! Had to settle for a Delia Smith recipe instead.

. Chicory is kind of a weed, planted in fields for livestock to eat. It is also used in coffee blends in parts of the south to make the coffee stronger (cajun coffee)

Yes - chicory is that here too.

Last night Porchetta, I split a piece of pork loin and wrapped it in belly pork with the usual suspects. I am still learning the gas Weber, I used their rec temps and timings. Next time I will still use the initial blast but cook it on a lower temp for longer. We ate it cold for dinner with a salad of grilled Aubergines and Peppers also my fav cabbage salad. Pud watermelon. 7 more days of the diet.View attachment 43917

This all looks great. Tell me about your cabbage salad. It looks super finely shredded (how?) and how is it dressed?

Tell me about your cabbage salad.

The cabbage is grated using the fine slicer on the food processor. Grind in a bit of sea salt and leave for a few hours. Rinse then dry, place in a bowl and give it a good scrunching with your hand. Pour off any liquid and dress just before you eat it. I just like the families olive oil and a squeeze of lemon.

Left overs.... A stale bread roll toasted, left over roast beef, mustard cream & sliced tomato. Washed down with a nice Pinot noir

Have eaten a cuban in Miami AND Tampa? There is supposed to be quite a "debate" about who makes the best.

We make the best at home. My Cuban style pork butt done on the Egg is the best I've ever tasted.

Firing up to smoke some mackerel. I had a yearning for smoked mackerel pate.

I've even done it with a Totino's Pizza. I saw it as a challenge.

Yeah, those things are like canned Vienna sausages - they're terrible, but sometimes, that's what you want.

Over on another forum (pizza forum), there was a challenge to make a reasonably edible pizza using a Chef-Boy-R-Dee boxed pizza kit, plus any one ingredient of the maker's choosing. Keep in mind, that forum has a lot of professional pizza makers on it, so the results were pretty interesting, to say the least.

That's a whole meal for me!

My mom would say, "Oh, Girl, we need to fatten you up!"

You mean Courgette and Potato Parmigiana, maybe?

I can assure you I don't need to get any fatter! I think I also meant that if I ate that starter I'd be full up and wouldn't need anything else.

Just letting it cool and set:
