What did you cook/eat today (April 2018)?

[Herbie]

That looks lovely @morning glory

We had leftovers from a roast so bubble and squeak. I've put some chickpeas in to soak for hummus tomorrow with salads and wraps.

Tonight's dinner is a puff pastry shell with mixed wild mushroom sauce, and a traditional steakhouse iceberg wedge salad with homemade blue cheese dressing.

I like pineapple on pizzas as well, I know it's odd, but hey.lol

All the other toppings sound fine except for this - I feel the same about pineapple on pizza!

Last night was quick and easy after big tea the night before, tomato soup and soldiers. 6 deg c here so it's soup weather.

Jacket potato with parsley butter. I ate it with the other half of the porkie.

I'm not sure which is better but rolled out and par-baked would be very convenient for cooking.

I've frozen raw [ordinary] pizza dough in the past but that can be iffy how it thaws out, and some doesn't seem to know when to stop rising, even when it is in the freezer. Perhaps I should roll out and par-bake an ordinary one first and see how that turns out. I'm a bit reluctant just to try it with a sourdough base because of the length of time involved in the preparation. Of course I could just have pizza two days running.....

Amongst other things:

Milk Bread. It is a bit lop sided due to my oven.

I also made a Cajun style bean vegan bean stew, some plum chutney and some home-made cheese. Not all to be eaten together!

I can even make bread in a tin go lop-sided Although my last two sourdough loaves puddled (looked like Frisbees!), I'm a bit more confident now after watching an episode of Paul Hollywood's City Bakes where the sourdough loaves were made like that on purpose.

Sunday night's dinner was two large roast duck legs, with roast potatoes, boiled potatoes, carrots, Russian kale, stuffing, bread sauce and yorkie puds with plenty of lovely thick gravy. There was so much, a lot of it got lost under the veggies. And yes, I did manage to eat all of it .

Monday night's dinner was a kedgeree with eggs and the rest of the Russian kale, and flatbreads. The photo only shows half of it!

Russian kale

What is Russian kale?

Both those meals look fantastic! Vegetarian kedgeree?

It's the Riverford spinach kedgeree recipe again, but with Russian kale instead of spinach and butter beans instead of any type of green beans.

Russian kale looks like this

It's the end of the season for the organic stuff, but you can probably get it in some supermarkets or greengrocers.

Lunch today was a sourdough extra mature cheddar cheese and tomato sandwich, followed by a quarter of a large pot of blackcurrant and coconut yoghurt (from Brown Cow Organics). Heaven! For some strange reason, I had to share it with somemutt else!
