What did you cook or eat today (June 2023)?

[karadekoolaid]

I went to the supermarket and found fresh Borlotti beans (also known as Cranberry, or Navy beans). I just love these things. I use them for this dish:Pasta e Fagioli , to make "bean burgers", to serve doused in olive oil, garlic and red wine vinegar, as part of tonno e fagioli , and for curries.
I prefer using pasta shells for this, so the sauce and the beans stick inside the shells, but I coudn't find them, so rigatoni it was.
I've got no idea whether this is an authentic version or not, because I've never eaten it in Italy. The first time I made it, I cooked the pasta and the beans right from the start in the tomato sauce. It was tricky, so that's why I cook the pasta and the beans separately.

I've no idea about this dish but I need to know as it looks lovely - salted egg (?) slipper lobster (?). Please tell...

It’s the Salted Egg Yolk Prawns recipe I posted some time back but I just subbed in the slipper lobsters.

Round here that’s what they are called but I’ve seen them called crayfish (which they obviously aren’t) or Moreton Bay Bugs.

Made a cottage pie last night:

..and since I had the oven on I made some roast cauliflower to go with it:

I used to get Morton bay bugs here. I love them.

I like them because not only are they very tasty, but they are much cheaper than true lobsters and you still get a great hunk of tail meat out of them with very little effort - much less effort than peeling prawns. I ask the fishmonger to cut them in half lengthwise.

Virtually identical meal to last night, with the only difference being lima beans instead of mushy peas:

Too lazy to cook. Here is an example of some of the stuff I sell in the shop. Battered Cod and potato dauphinois from the freezer section(did them in the air fryer). And slaw and bean salad from our deli counter.

I dont normally have lunch, I snack a bit. Today I'm a bit hungry so out with the baked beans. We had these about 1 night a week. How mum made that feed us 4 is beyond me. The sausages were a new addition about 20 year ago?
I ate 1 can cold from the tin.
