What did you cook or eat today (November 2024)

Ate at McD’s today (a rarity on a weekend), and when I opened the app, it told me the special secret offer today was a $2 McCrispy chicken sandwich, so I opted for that.

However…when I clicked the “Use this deal” button, it got confused and told me I’d already used the deal, so why not go ahead and use the deal that I just told you you can’t use… 😵‍💫

Asked the kid at the front, and he was just as confused…so he gave me the sandwich for free. Yay!
 
Really wasn't hungry last night and only ate because hubby said he needed to...

So a jam sandwich.

Not the best pic, but that’s a boneless pork chop on a mound of mashed potatoes, topped with a sauce made from chicken broth, cream, and apple brandy. Glazed carrots on there, which also included a good splash of apple brandy.

It. Is. Phenomenal!
 
Hubby cooked because we were out Christmas shopping yesterday so I needed to study today.

Despite giving him guidelines, he ignored then almost to the letter, except for the spices and herbs being doubled, but he doubled everything except the pastry, so didn't really double things :o_o:

Tasty but could have been better and it would have helped if they stayed together when you picked them up.

I’m laughing, but the meal looks very good!

Here’s how I envision that conversation going:

SatNav: Right, I’ve got to study, so I’d like you to prepare some beans in the little parcels we like so much, and then a nice green salad on the side, with lettuce, cherry tomatoes, carrot…sound good?”

MrSatNav: Yes!

<45 minutes later>

MrSatNav: Supper’s up! Just as you requested!

SatNav: This is pizza and scrambled eggs.

MrSatNav: You’re welcome!

Not close...

"You know those cherry tomatoes we'd planned to use in MG's quiche?"
"You'll need to double the herbs and spices with this recipe"
"Use 1 sheet of puff pastry per parcel, it's less calories which is all in the pastry for this recipe.. " Goes out to see only 2 sheets defrosting, "you are making larger parcels aren't you? Are you cooking them every night?" 2 sheets = 2 parcels

At evening meal, 8 parcels from 2 sheets... hubby says "they must have bigger sheets of pastry in the US". :banghead:
