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

[Windigo]

Made a pretty good Bolognese, just forgot to take a picture again. Will take a picture later of the leftovers!

Today's breakfast was a repeat of yesterdays, except with a banana, instead of orange wedges. This was Jimmy Dean sausage, egg and cheese muffins with a hash brown patty.

No, I've seen them on video and they look delicious. I recently watched Chef John's version from Food Wishes. Hahaha...I meant to edit the sirens part out of that video but forgot...then was too lazy to go back and fix it.

I thought had seen them before. I am a Chef John fan.

I've been in a UK themed mood recently. My order of quince came in the other day, I've started the Xmas cakes and egg nog, so I've been looking at "island" recipes. Here's my take on barmbrack from Ireland. According to my (Irish) friend, it's traditionally eaten for Halloween, so I made this quick bread version.

Minty Lamb Burgers. From The Burger Book edited by Norma Miller.
Slightly unusually when prepared these are 'open' burgers.
Lamb, onion, mint salt and pepper, egg, buns and tomatoes.
As Mrs Wyshie doesn't like raw tomato I'll do hers topped with onion rings.

Cheesecake with fresh raspberry sauce

I ordered some "wild boar" pate from my western food supplier to be delivered Friday; together with a kilo of Norwegian cod, 0.5 kg of pork sausage and 5.25 kg of Australian beef fillet (only about one kilo of the latter is for me).

 

[Hemulen]

Made these rustic Chinese style custard tarts......(cheat's method with store bought pastry)

We had a Portuguese/(Mediterranean)/Brazilian evening with friends this weekend - and I made pretty similar natas (pastéis de nata) with ready-made puff pastry. The whole menu was freshly made Brazilian piña colada, scallops with molho vermelho (Sp. salsa roja), sautéed spinach with molho verde (salsa verde/green sauce), grapefruit segments and pine kernels, stewed lamb legs with homegrown veggies, natas with raspberry syrup and vanilla ice cream and coffee with chocolates. Spanish cava, Portuguese rosé wine and Madeira to accompany. I was too lazy (and tipsy) to take any pictures.
Mushroom tart today.

Looks delicious. What's your secret for getting the dried fruit evenly distributed?

In my culinary school we prepared various dishes related to chicken/partridge. My group made breaded chicken breast, chicken veloute, vichy carrots, steamed broccoli and we tried to serve potato nests, but they turned out horrible

What went wrong?

Finished article. (Still well within my calorie allowance for the day)

Came out a bit dark.

Today's meal was a light endive layered salad.

The salad included endives, onion, jalapeno pepper, tomato, cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese and blue cheese dressing.

 

[The Velvet Curtain]

Spending the night in an airport hotel in Manchester on business. So, linguini with chorizo -good taste but it lacked finesse in presentation, chorizo cubes the size of dice are hard going.
