I just had a sandwich. Been in a queue waiting for petrol since 8.30am.
What did you cook or eat today (September 2023)?

I just ate a couple of hard-boiled eggs, and MrsT came home from a work thing bearing an apple-spice doughnut to share: apple cake-style doughnut rolled in cinnamon sugar and when a streusel coating.

Final meal here started with this pate.
A few time difference calculations... not sure if I got it right but had you been waiting 5 hours when you posted?
Its pretty. Looks like a dessert!
I’m sitting in Pizza Hut for the second week in a row - since she doesn’t really get to have it much anymore, MrsT has developed a taste for pizza, and I don’t cook on Fridays, so here I am.
I made a salad and a quick dressing that we’ll have once I get home. I had to laugh over this story from yesterday:
Since I’d had a butt scope yesterday, I didn’t cook (well, I heated up a can of soup). MrsT wanted a salad, so she cut up all the stuff for one salad (with a serrated knife
) but the last dressing I’d made was several days ago and looking a little…lumpy.
“Well, crap! What am I gonna do now?!”
I told her, “Get in the fridge and get that mustard out, put a couple of tablespoons a jar…now, put about half again as much olive oil…a couple of splashes of cider vinegar…and a glug of maple syrup…salt and pepper…now shake it up and taste it, too sharp, add more syrup or oil, too sweet, more vinegar, and adjust the salt and pepper.”
All that took about four minutes, and she said, “That’s it?! That’s all you do for dressing!?”
Just when I was feeling pretty cool and awesome in the eyes of my kitchen-challenged wife, she added, “…and I thought you were busting your azz making dressing, and it turns out anybody can do it!”

Probably less. I was in the queue about 8.30am and finally got my petrol at around 11.45am.
Yes, this is Venezuela, the country with the largest oil reserves in the world that cannot even provide its own population with fuel.

Lunch, still having a few food issues but fruit appears to be one thing my body is happy with at the moment.
MG, I promise the picture is in focus. It's just the passionfruit is giving an optical illusion!

Hubby cooked. It wasn't really what I wanted but that's hard at the moment. There's only so much fruit hubby can eat before sugar becomes a problem for him, so I just picked.
