I made homemade hamburger buns and we had smashburgers with bacon and American cheese--mine with pickles, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, lettuce and sliced tomato--DH had the same without lettuce and tomato. Those fresh burger buns were so pillowy and soft. Yum.

So whitish brown on brown on browner...

Absolutely delicious.

That's the homegrown mushrooms eaten until the next batch.

Sausage sandwich

I’m going to pretend it was inspired by Barrihie’s sausages and not the 7 packs of sausages that I have from Christmas food shopping mishaps.. plus the kilo of sausagemeat, plus 24 full length chipolata pigs in blankets.

Now what to do about the 24 bulbs of garlic..

Last night I made twice baked potatoes. I haven’t made those in a long time. Fried green beans so I could use up some we had in the refrigerator. I cooked a couple of pork chops and basted them with a butter thyme sauce.

Bit of shopping downtown so I had dim sum in a restaurant:

Fried chicken which I stuck between some buns to make chicken burgers:

Here's a photo. Pepperoni, cured black olives (msmofet 's favourite ), tinned artichokes (awful - tasteless and wet) and a generous sprinkle of peperoncini. Definitely hit the spot.
You may notice the predatory Mr Porky in the background, waiting to see if anything falls off the plate.

Plant them, and make some sausage!!!

This is a month ago but you can see them better w/out the mulch. About 30 of Purple Creole.

Purple Creole Sausages, my favourite.
Might have to wait a minute before I need to restock

Finished up the artichoke and bacon quiche I started yesterday.

Had to prepare some stuff for a Xmas dinner tomorrow night (we celebrate on 24th, not the 25th). We've been asked to bring an appetiser ( so I decided on cheese straws) and a dessert (I'm making Nigella's chocolate beetroot cake tomorrow).

Yes boneless chicken thighs. I find these the tastiest and the easiest to cook; dusted in my seasoned flour, then 6 mins at 160C - done.
