What did you cook or eat today (July 2024)

[JAS_OH1]

I made my DH a breakfast of leftover tater tots from last night's steakhouse dinner topped with 2 slices of American cheese, 2 runny fried eggs, and 1 strip of thick bacon. Plenty of pepper rascal!

TVC served us tapas this evening.

I just started a crockpot of ham and bean (limas and this kind of bean from Mexico called peruano that kinda look like greenish-yellowish Navy beans) soup with potatoes, carrots, garlic, and onion. I put the ham first in my soup title because there is probably as much ham in it as the total of the other ingredients!

It may seem odd to make soup in summer, but it went down to 55F/13C last night and supposed to do about the same tonight, so really not bad soup weather at all. Maybe some of this cooler weather will reach msmofet soon and then jump across the pond to Lullabelle!

I'm pretty certain you would enjoy yourself with dinner and the cards which normally end up people taking the Michael out of me. )

I just mean she has a sophisticated palate for someone so young.

Yes, I got that. Thank you.
I guess we are very different generations...regarding food, I also, like you, had a more narrow cooking/food horizon. And not only food, our demands were way smaller, that was my point...

Goat cheese with fresh cracked black pepper and cherry tomatoes on Multigrain crackers.

That looks so appetizing!

 

[Timenspace]

was orange chicken, chicken teriyaki, and chow mein noodles.

Looks quite good, how was it?

 

[Timenspace]

Pork, Apricots and Pinenuts (my favourite of the four).

Looks amazing! Brava!
What a good combination of flavours, I imagine.
I reckon the garlic pork combination must be delicious too!

It’s never too hot for bean and ham soup! Yum!

I think it's more a compliment to you for giving her a broader range and understanding of cuisines.

Wonderful! I used to always get the fried rice. I like fried rice but this particular restaurant serves up a rather bland fried rice. The noodles are way, way better.

more a compliment to you

Oh Goodness, I did not expect that...thank you very much! And I have sooo much to learn yet! And am so grateful to have found and been a part of this forum! It's the longest and richest cooking masterclass and the loveliest learning curve for me, and her, indirectly. Possibly.

On her own, she is also very informed through the internet...

But thank you

The noodles are way, way better.

Fantastic! It even looked fresh and well prepared on the pic! Happy for you!
