What did you cook/eat today (October 2017)?

[Morning Glory]

Honestly? Yesterday I was thinking to open the window and launch it ....but I'm a curious girl (girl?!) thus I've tried to season potatoes....Ehi! Not bad, not bad indeed. Where Marmite could bring me tomorrow? To be continued.....

Yes - think of it as concentrated beef stock. It may be that you put to much on your bread. It needs to be with butter and about a quarter of a tsp or even less per chunk of bread or toast.

We had a beef pot roast with carrots, shallots, baby potatoes, and mushrooms. Braised it in a beef stock-merlot wine puddle, which made some terrific pan sauce/gravy. We also had salads in an attempt to finish up a few things before we leave at the end of the week.

That beef stew looks great!

You will not convince me that it is any good except maybe to put straight in the bin. I never have liked it.

I have to convince myself first

Yes, concentrated beef stock is the first thing I've thought.I've put a very little quantity of it on my toast but also the smell didn't help.
Melted during cooking of potatoes was slightly better and I have to admit that they were good.
Little by little.

I have not tried this "recipe" with Marmite but it works very well with Bovril (could Bovril be considered similar?).

Yes it is similar and I've used Marmite for roast potatoes before a bit like this.

I was too much intrigued!
The smell is like a stock cube....

And it can be used exactly that way. Vegemite is quite often used in beef casserole & stew type dishes as a flavour booster here in Australia.

Except for the salt added, I've made this "recipe". I think I could repeat it early but don't say it to Mr.P. He is still shocked by marmite's smell!

Funny this conversation happening this week. I listen to a podcast called “ Food Stuff” and they covered Vegemite this week. It’s very informative, but it’s hysterical listening to non Aussies talk about it.

Last night was our Halloween family dinner. My sister in law usually hosts, decorates the house with lovely creepy things and the kids trick or treat in the street.

There was a huge cheese platter
1 chicken curry damper dip*
1 bacon & sweet corn damper dip
Pizza scrolls

...and then my contribution - fondue stuffed whole roast pumpkin, black sesame & black salt lavosh crackers plus a huge container of celery & carrot sticks.

Inside the fondue is Colby, vintage cheddar, Emmental, Brie & Gorgonzola.


* damper dip is a hollowed out round loaf filled with a mixture & baked.

Tonight I just used up some veg so stir fried cabbage, leek, yellow pepper and mushrooms with garlic and a nice scotch bonnet a farmer gave me. Was rather nice.

Tomorrow I'm planning cauliflower steak so just planning what spice to use.

Tuesday night's dinner was sweetcorn dhansak. I put more chilli in it this time; much better. One bowl eaten with flatbreads, two ready for the freezer, also with flatbreads.
