Thin sliced porchetta sliders with caramelized onions and a roasted vege mayo made with red bell, onion, tomato, garlic, and cilantro. No pictures, ate really late, not too hungry, plus we were tired after driving over to Florida's west coast and back to see DD and DGDs, and treating them to coal-fired pizzas for lunch
 
I have finally cooked for the first time in 3 weeks! Kitchen not finished but with 1 of my new ovens the pressure cooker and the microwave I managed to knock up beef casserole jacket potato peas and carrots! Yippee!

Inspired by @Wandering Bob's sterling bread making I thought I would try something outside of my baking comfort zone (packet mix, loaf tin etc.). I found a recipe and tweeked it a little - 70% wholemeal, 20% white and 10% buckwheat flour.

Hey @epicuric … your bread looks great ! It's flattering to think that I inspired you to make this. I'm really pleased that you added some buckwheat flour - I think if you like that flavour, you'll find that you use it a lot more often in loaves. Can I suggest that you also consider adding some caraway seeds (only one teaspoon) to your next loaf? I've found - as have my neighbours - that caraway seeds & buckwheat flour make for a really beguiling taste combination.

Another attempt at the perfect deep fried soft-boiled egg. This time 4mins 45 secs in the microwave to boil the egg (wrapped in foil and submerged in boiled water). A simple flour, egg and breadcrumb coating.


And the reveal....

My favorite pan.Got it at a second hand shop..It was manufactured a few miles down the road about 60 years ago..had a wooden handle at some point, but it must have burnt off. Somebody made one out of 1/2 inch copper pipe.. it's perfect.It can go in the oven now.

Thanks @Wandering Bob, I will give caraway seeds a try.
 
The plan was sausage, potatoes and green chillis. However, we didn't have any green cayenne chillis so I substituted red Thai chillis. Significantly hotter and I ended up with a bit of a sweat on at an ambient temperature of 33 degC .

Last night, we used up some of the leftover smoked turkey in smoked turkey soup with wild rice, carrots, onions, green onions, garlic, fresh thyme and rosemary. It also has a bit of sherry added in at the end. It's a longstanding fave to use up smoked turkey.
