What did you cook or eat today (June 2024)

[JAS_OH1]

So Sunday night two of our daughters and the younger one's fiance surprised their father by bringing sushi for Father's Day. Tonight they brought us Chinese takeout so I didn't have to cook. Several containers of pork fried rice, orange chicken, General Tso's chicken, Mai Fun noodles with shrimp, pork egg rolls, crab rangoons, beef and broccoli...I think that's it. So sweet! Tried to give them money but they wouldn't take it.

Freshly baked sourdough with alioli (Catalan aioli)
Was going to be a garlic challenge entry but I got the proportions of garlic & olive oil wrong and it was very sharp/harsh
Still tasty, but needs fine tuning

Chicken Kiev with rice. I messed up the chicken because I was too lazy to watch the video before I started on the recipe, and so the butter leaked out

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Garlicky cream of celery soup with roasted tempeh

I had two hotdogs with sauerkraut, and mac salad (store bought).

Coffee. Breakfast was banana bread, blueberries and almond yoghurt. Brunch was a corn bun, with a coffee, and 3 hours later brunch no.2, the same corn bun no.2, coffee no.3.

Heading home. As my student well said: the first and last days of school are always The Best. For some, it was their last. We still have a few weeks but not as energy consuming.

Lunch will be simple when I arrive back home.

I'm a fan of seasoning ground meat before use. My wife is allergic to beef so we make our burgers from ground pork seasoned with salt, pepper, worcestershire sauce, powdered garlic and Italian seasoned packaged bread crrumbs. I have also had good luck adding a little fish sauce to ground meat. You don't want to overdo that. Lots of interesting ways to season your burger meat.

I normally go with salt. Pepper and Creole seasoning. Works well for us. It all starts with the meat. I combine ground pork and ground chuck when I make Sphagetti or lasagna. Gives it a nice flavor.

That looks and sounds delicious. Guess what I’m making for breakfast tomorrow morning

These are considered top local pralines. For my daughter. My thoughts were,oh Gosh, after 6 hours at 34c, these will be a liquidy hot chocolate mess on the bottom of the box, but they are intact. I had them in the fridge for 2 hours afterwards. Good surprise.
