What did you cook, eat or drink today (August 2018)?

It turned out pretty spicy so I'm glad I have nowhere to go this morning.

During the "bagging" process my wife spilt some on her denim shorts. Now she can't get them clean. I'm surprised that they didn't disintegrate!

Oh, and she blames me.

Yes, fairly slow (about 1.5-2 hours), it's another vintage recipe, I can post it if you like with the changes I made. The original recipe calls for 2 oz of lard!! I could feel my arteries begging for mercy just reading that, besides which I don't like the taste of lard in a recipe anyway.

Please do post it - use the Retro Recipe prefix (drop down menu next to the title field). Good idea to fillet out the recipes you need from those old tatty books - and if you post them here there is always a record of them to go back to. I use the forum as a place to keep my recipes....

Chippy tea (minus the chips). Friday night treat after a tough work week.

Halloumi veggie bake. Am limiting my meat eating to once/twice a week so trying new things.

Last night we had grilled beef sliders with caramelized onions, mushrooms and roquefort. Homemade potato chips as well.

Aubergine with ham and cheese on top?

A vegan salad box from a small independent stall in the market. The young guy who runs it is very creative and has an amazing palate. If all vegan food was as good as this I might be converted.

It looks delicious. Aubergine Parmigiana?

Yes, and tomato sauce and a sprinkled of dried oregano

Very nice...

not really, they are slices of aubergine seasoned as if it were a pizza and then cooked in the oven

@LadyBelle have you ever tried saganaki with halloumi? We love that!

We were invited to a vegan restaurant in Milan tonight for a birthday. I've never eaten in a vegan restaurant but I'm really very curious.

Another salad/starter adventure (recipe to follow) - but its basically tree spinach and nasturtium leaves from the garden, black beans, tomatoes and soy sauce pickled eggs.
