What did you cook or eat today (June 2021)?

[caseydog]

I marinated and later grilled NY strip steaks. Battered some green beans and put them in the airfryer. Made twice baked potatoes with a twist. Added lemon juice and dill. Also added smoked Gouda cheese. Worked really well

Nice! I pulled a vacuum sealed t-bone out of the freezer today for tomorrow. It is a USDA choice with a big tenderloin side. I'm not sure whether I want to do my usual sous vide and sear, or to cook it on the charcoal grill. Yeah, first world problem.

I like the sound of fried green beans. I don't have an air fryer, so I'll just have to settle for deep fat frying.

Grouper with roasted potatoes, carrots, and beets. Not sure why they put lettuce on top, but the rest was light and tasty.

MG could probably explain the lettuce on top -- surely a food styling thing.

I love grouper.

I am just prepping the Turbot I bought yesterday. She weighed in at 1.6 KG, so half for tonight and half for the freezer. We will have the second half with chips on the 10th to celebrate the end of of the keto diet.

but Austin is a pretty cool city

I concur, I have no memories of Austin back in the day . That guarantees I had a good time.

We take personally every Xmas to Salvation Army homeless shelter where they cook Xmas lunch for 100s of people.

Back in the day because I'm an atheist I spent about 50% of Christmases somewhere warm on the beach. If I had to stay in the UK I cooked in homeless shelters including the Sally.

We had chance to eat out on Tuesday after my second Covid-19 jab. So we tried a new cafe that my husband found by chance a few weeks earlier. There were 3 vegan desserts on the menu which is always a really good start in my book and as food came out to other tables we watched eagerly.

By the way, the ska renderings of 80s songs was the theme: next up were “Final Countdown” by Europe and “Still Loving You” by the Scropions.

Many years ago I worked with Junior, we met up again when I persuaded him to rap the middle eight on the Soup Dragons I'm Free. My love of Ska, Blue beat, Reggae come from my time working in Jamaica I think

Mate I think everyday is a big day for you with your family. When I was single it was just a long holiday for me.
