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

[caseydog]

I made ragout* yesterday, and had the remainder with pasta today.

* You will call it differently though.
Maybe something like bechamel with mushrooms and ham?

** Looks a bit like this, but without the pastry. You'll have to use google translate
Zelfgemaakte ragout met champignons - Puur Suzanne | Vega & vegan recepten or champignon ragout - Google Search

It looks a lot like something I make, although mine is not vegan. Recipe - Chicken and Puff Pastry Shells

Bread, potato salad, macaroni salad, two bean salad, olive salad. Above plate salsa and blue cheese dip. Also had a turkey and stuffing sandwich that I didn't get a picture of.

I had a good old salad today.
2 boiled eggs, potatoes, rocket, baby lettuce, fresh tomatoes from the garden, a slice of avocado, some Shropshire Blue , smothered with homemade Ranch dressing.

 

[SandwichShortOfAPicnic]

I have to confess the idea of ranch dressing makes me shudder. I like homemade garlic and herb dressings though and it looks similar. It maybe the couple I’ve tried were pre-made and possibly not good quality.
I think it’s ’Paul Newman’ that gets sold here and it’s not worth a fig.

Might have a go at making one with good ingredients?

 

[SandwichShortOfAPicnic]

Yep had a look it’s called Paul Newman and it’s made in the UK from various countries produce. Can’t say the ingredients list looks like what a homemade dressing would be made of!

When we lived in your fair country, there were two things the locals hounded me for from the American commissary on the air base… Michelob beer and ranch dressing.

I like Ranch on some things, like salads. But watching Gen-Z guys on YouTube, and they put Ranch on everything!

I used leftover smoked pork butt and some HEB flour tortillas to make some Texified carnitas tacos. No pictures. It was not a great day, so I just wanted to eat -- once I got my appetite back.

[Herbaceous]

For today’s vegan lunch I went back to pasta with avocado pesto. Added in some tomatoes that I had on hand and some leftover crispy chickpeas for protein.

For dinner, I made bang bang tofu over edamame rice with a radish-avocado salad from Hello Fresh. Almost vegan except for the spicy mayo on top. Even husband liked it, and he’s not a big tofu fan.
