Recycled the baked ham, and made a potato gratin, which was a little soupy, but I eyeballed everything. Still good, and I think both will make an appearance in tonight's meal as well.
What did you cook or eat today (September 2020)?

Cock up all round today. A mate rang suggesting an afternoon in the pub. I had planned a burger because that would be easy and take no time at all when I returned.
At my age I should have learnt (but I haven't).
After 3 hours in the pub and 5 pints my wife picked me up at was then "schools out" time. She wanted some produce for a special Buddha day tomorrow but even getting close to a parking spot near the market was a challenge. It was eventually accomplished by which time a char siu noodle dinner appeared to be favourite.
No chance. The noodle shop was closed (I have no idea how they make money!).
Resort to the cupboard and a Heinz beef broth soup.

With a truckload of patience
I’ve used a sac à poche but it’s also possible to use a teaspoon.

You can cook it low and slow in liquid for a relatively lengthy period of time (less so for lamb, more so for beef heart). While I did this for yesterday's dish, you can also slice thin, and quickly pan fry it so it remains rare/medium rare - which is a way I really enjoy heart. There
a stage between a nice medium rare set of slices and a low slow cook which is also nice - where the heart turns into a chewy mess I wouldn't want to eat. It is after all, the hardest working muscle in the body!

He is.
I think that is quite an unusual combo in a curry. But why not?
Morning Glory I thought the same but it sounds delicious, maybe because it has 3 of my favorite ingredients...curry, chicken and shrimps 
Mussels in garlic and white wine with chillies and coriander:
