What did you cook or eat today (October 2022)?

[Rocklobster]

I love shoestring, they are my all time favorite. I don't know how or why, but they always seem to taste better. I loathe steak fries. Way too much bland potato with no where near enough crunchy outside. The ratio is WAYYYY off.

Same as my wife. She doesn’t care for the Beefeaters… I’m an old school guy and like crinkle cuts. But my mandolin only cuts small and they save me the blanching step.

I'm making DH Mussels with WW Penne tonight and Thick Spaghetti with Clam Sauce for me.

This is a deluxe version of my most recent potato challenge entry:

I added ham, onion, and Jarlsberg cheese to the original potato, crème fraiche, and rosemary.

MrsT’s reaction: “OMG, scalloped potato pizza!”

I use a mandolin and I am using red potatoes that I grew in the back yard..here’s the finished butternut squash. I was going to
post the plated dinner but I didn’t like the pics.

Thanks everybody!

I indeed used a mandoline to slice those potatoes. They’re an unusual heirloom red potato, Krogengrabee potatoes - as in “Kroger generic grade B” red potatoes.

I'll add a mandolin to my list for Santa

Greek salad with homemade Greek dressing and roasted brussel sprouts, dusted with parmesan and drizzled with a reduced balsamic vinegar.

GF bought me one a few years ago. I didn’t use it much at the beginning but there are some things I have to have it for now.

You deviated from a recipe, and made it better, IMO. I'm proud of you.

Cacio e pepe , WW Pene with New Zealand Green Lip Mussels - DH was in heaven!

I really wanted Clam Sauce, pulled the can down off the pantry shelf and spied Cheese Tortellini, mmm, that was delicious!
Loads of Garlic in that lovely Sauce, I could only eat half though - the other half for lunch tomorrow ...
