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

[TastyReuben]

Started with bread & oil:

…and onion rings:

Side salad:

If you can’t tell, that’s an Italian sausage hiding in there:

Chicken parmesan, to which MrsT said, “Why is there cheddar cheese on my chicken parm?”

Not even joking, but a huge benefit to MrsT’s weight loss is that she rarely complains about meals out now (she used to pick apart and complain about everything).

She eats so much “plain” food at home (salad, thin soup, plain eggs) now that when she gets anything out that’s not good for her, she’s like someone just rescued from a desert island.

I'll try the muffuletta please. I think I'd like it. Hmmm

I had to add this. I just threw some things together. I had smoked chicken sausage with apple and maple in it, so I paired it with a light sauerkraut and a bit of mustard. It may sound weird but it's so fricken good. The flavors dance around and change up.

That doesn’t sound weird at all. When I make sauerkraut to eat, it includes brown sugar and grated apple (along with wine and juniper berries), simmered down, so the maple and apple in that sausage are a perfect match to me.

I have the same thing, but didn't have time to do this "right". I got juniper just sitting in my pantry just for this kind of dish and green apple, but I didn't have time. I also use used coffee grounds.

I hate juniper, even though my front yard is full of juniper. I hate the taste. I can't even smell gin and not be repulsed. Oh my, I'd never make it as a Brit.

Lunch today, Greek style flat bread, beef kebabs, salad and TVC's home made Turkish chilli sauce.

Now we are having a cuppa and sharing this red bean bun we bought from the Korean supermarket this morning.

All of this was insanely delicious. The cream cheese after taking on smoke......

Went to a new pizza place , was pretty good pizza but I've had better. This was the spicy pepper. It had peppers, chilli flakes, garlic oil and olives. The onion on top was a surprise.

Portioned up a large amount of boudin noir and froze it, as the p&p was £10 I ordered two of these jumbo sized logs!
Then I attempted the ‘sausage’ rolls I had on the French/Swiss border.

Nearly hit the mark but was slightly out as didn’t season the pastry well enough but it was delicious anyway and I look forward to take two

Really glad to bust out the gluten free bread maker and have some tasty bread again, missed good bread, which is ironic considering I was mostly in France - the bosses of bread

Pics of the boudin noir rolls

Just trying out a cold one with some sliced apple to see how they’d fare as a GF packed lunch, not bad so far.

Although it might be enhanced by also testing out this bottle of plonk at the same time

Jury is currently out on the vino!

Somehow, inexplicably, onions taste better on pizza when they are longer like that and not diced.
