What did you cook or eat today (September 2024)

[Puggles]

Shrimp fettuccine Alfredo with garlic bread.

 

[msmofet]

Smithfield garlic and herb pork loin, roasted baby red potatoes (tossed with olive oil, salt, pepper, and Herbs de Provence), cuke, twilight tomatoes, feta cheese, and Greek dressing.
The Herbs de Provence was pretty good.

Lunch

The usual, but one of the rounds had pesto on it instead of chutney (using up the homemade warrigal greens pesto I defrosted the other night).

So Sourdough, smashed avo, senap/pesto and tofu.

 

[Timenspace]

Elevenses, a fried combination of jägerwurst, bread, an egg , some olives. Am out of tomatoes, and shrooms had gone bad.

But it will be great to sustain me through cooking.

Hubby cooked and didn't quite get it right.

The soup is meant to be a creamy base for the veg. He forgot despite the recipe being open on the page. It's originally a vegetarian recipe made with mascapone that gets stirred in at the end. So he tried doing that with silken tofu. Fail. Big time. Even the adapted note to the side said what to do. And when I asked how much stock he put in, the answer was a litre. He knew I was asking how many teaspoons he had put in of stock powder... yeah. It should have had 4tsp. I don't think it has more than 1tsp. It will need some TLC for the next 2 nights.

My current plan is to blend the entire thing together with more stock powder. OK it will have a green tinge to it from the peas and perhaps an orange tint from the carrots but I will probably be more edible.

Not today but the last evenings meal before flying back yesterday.
Paella for both Mr SSOAP and my sons and I had what is a kind of mixed fish dish which was like paella without the rice!

My dish, it was so good I’ll be back for more. There’s a gorgeous chunk of monkfish lurking under there!

Mr SSOAP and the boys had one of these each. He likes paella so much I had to show you that he always looks like a big kid when it turns up and that makes me rather happy too.

And the view didn’t hurt the flavours one bit
The sun went down between ordering and it turning up. The sunset was gorgeous.

Why no rice? You don't like rice?

I made Soup in the Instant Pot for later down the road:

Wild Rice (the real stuff, but the "blend") Chicken and Mushrooms with a boatload of veggies in there too.
I pulled 2 cups for the pot for DH, he dislikes anything "creamy", before adding the heavy cream.
He took a taste and said that it's very good and would be better with some Diamond Bakery Soda Crackers... the temps are dropping, so that may happen sooner than he thinks.

 

[medtran49]

Mexican-SW-Asian pork belly tacos with Mexican rice. I cured the pork belly with Ancho powder, cumin, coriander, a touch of cayenne, and salt of course, roasted until tender. Crisped up the pork belly before making the tacos. Condiments for the tacos were sriracha mayo, pickled red onions, cilantro, avocado, and an Asian slaw with carrots and radish, dressed with a garlic-ginger-tamari-sesame oil-touch of mayo dressing. I winged the rice and it was some of the best Mexican rice we've ever had.

 

[Puggles]

French toast with sausage, and a French toast skirt on the bottom. With a glass of ice cold milk in a frosted glass.

 

[Timenspace]

Chicken, string bean,carrot, potato, onion stew for a couple of days lunches.

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Last night's soup now blended with 2tsp of stock powder added. Much better.

We caught a non-rainy time window for a walk outside, boyfriend and I, so I didn't get to bake crackers, perhaps tonight...

So Elevenses was Kipferl and coffee no.3, pre lunch snack was Kipferl no 2, a Kinder bueno stick.
