What did you eat or cook today (December 2024)?

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Evening meal, salad and rice, rosemary and courgette cake with a tomato and basil sauce.

 

[Windigo]

Poussin with green herb marinade, roast potatoes & garlic, green beans, carrots & sprouts

Eton mess with raspberries

We had also planned a starter but my new left shoulder problem caught up with me so we'll have that dish later or tomorrow

 

[medtran49]

Our Christmas dinner, porchetta, fingerlings finished on the grill in the porchetta drippings, yellow and green squash, and agrodolce cippolini. Dessert was Christmas cookies.

 

[badjak]

Left overs, but freshly harvested beans

 

[SandwichShortOfAPicnic]

Bubble and Squeak, cold cuts and pickle. Bit of Gorgonzola.

 

[Lullabelle]

Venison sausages, buttery mash and leeks with gravy some of which was left over from yesterday.

That mash looks wonderful!

 

[TastyReuben]

Homemade bread, good butter, and orange marmalade.

Before that, some salami slices with some of those fresh mozzarella pearls we had yesterday.

Before that, a sandwich made with old-fashioned (aka Dutch) loaf - that might be a good one for the home lunchmeat makers (looks over in the direction of SandwichShortOfAPicnic and Barriehie … ).

I *must* build a smoking hut, house, box, whatever that can hold a deer next year...

It is from a secret source called M&S.

Half way through microwaving I add extra salt and pepper and beat in a good knob of butter. There is no point me making it from scratch, I couldn't make it any better.

I’m laughing because I almost always make mashed potatoes from scratch, but the other day, when I posted up those buttered noodles with mashed potatoes…those were the same as what you described - a few minutes in the nuker, stir, a few minutes more, stir in a big knob of butter, and serve.

MrsT: “God, this really hits the spot! Whatever you did with these potatoes, don’t forget it - they’re the best you’ve made in a long time!”

Those bags with all the flavors are so easy! Throw on some chopped green onions...

Looks more straight forward than my usual mash ups so why not

That looks good, but what about Philly cheesesteak sandwiches?
