What did you cook or eat today (March 2024)?

These are chocolate spelt flour muffins, that I baked today, out of a new recipe, good! reduced in sweetness, with some almond yoghurt , after lunch.

I especially love that last photo!

Yes it is a really nice place to sit and have a drink, I go there whenever I can in summer.

Snack plate, with a (couple of) glass(es) of wine:

A crazy day's dinner, two local salami sorts, one nicknamed 'tea', the other named 'sandwich', hummus with dried tomateos flavour (store bought). Tiny bit of ketchup.

I was so happy to find a gluten free bread that I like, fried it into a simple french toast this mornig, some salami and some fresh little radish (raphanus sativus).

A rare 'real' lunch, home cooked. Beef meatballs in a corn flour and garlic sauce, cooked potatoes, lettuce.

I really should eat more meatballs!

Yet another day without cooking, fried fish and somewhat sturdy french fries, but ok. Grateful for a nutritious Friday meal. Talked to a nice lady at the Farmer's market, where we got the meal, from whom I bought the beautiful radish and some green onion.

A lovely home made vegetable stew (long beans, potatoes, onion, tomato sauce). It was planned to toss in a few pork meat chunks, however the meat had gone bad in my fridge, whilst I was busy the last couple of days, my bad, bad planning, so I threw it away. Anyways, nice lunchtime at home.

It's a small village close to my own, called Naaldwijk. I like going there in the weekend.

That looks pretty similar to simple Dutch food

TBH I have seen better too, they had some grey pieces in there.. Wouldn't order it again. The place is mediocre for food, but the views are ace so it's clear to see how people keep coming back

I thought it looked good, I was referring to TR not liking avocado (I think I remember that correctly)!

I think sometimes up here in Ohio we get mediocre avocados (usually if they're the big watery variety) but a little salt, lime, and cilantro seems to help, for me anyway. The small ones have a much better flavor for sure. My FIL doesn't like avocados so my MIL rarely gets to eat them. I make her guacamole whenever I get a chance.
