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

[Yorky]

My wife wanted some more moo daeng (char sui) so she brought a couple of pieces of pork loin home yesterday. I left them to marinate in the fridge overnight.

I had mine with roast potatoes and onions, tomatoes and a few chopped chives. She ate hers unaccompanied.

@Yorky that looks delicious.

I was going to make the moo daeng sauce with the remainder of the marinade but my wife didn't want any so I didn't bother. I had this sauce anyway....

It is this vegetable that is common in Mexican cuisine & strangely enough in Australia. It grows prolifically in Sydney as a fence climber. It is out of fashion now though.

Thank you @Frizz1974, I didn't know choko, nice discover. I don't think to find it in Italy (neither in supermarket) and I'd like to taste it. Maybe to NaturaSi' stores.

I had the time to cook a delicious onion soup.

This all sounds like very good German Mexican fusion food - is that right?

I suppose that's how it ended up, isn't it? However, that was not my original plan. Hubby enjoyed the Mama sandwich he had on Thursday so much we brought some to cook at our daughter's. Then hubby thought we wouldn't have enough food with only six (huge) sausages. We did. So now we'll eat leftovers.

Son doesn't like mayonnaise-based potato salad, so I made the mustard/oil/vinegar version, which we like just as much. The corn-tomato mash-up was basically to dress up some old corn in a new dish - another favorite of hubby and me. The corn-tomato salad is also good with Feta, but Queso Fresco was what I found at the local Aldi.

That looks very nice. I am used to French onion soup which is really dark and rich. This onion soup looks much lighter. Do you have a recipe for this?

It was an easy going night with left over picnic food. So we had an indoor picnic of quiche, cheese, French bread, pate and a fresh green salad. Fresh fruit to follow.

We cleaned up the leftovers in the refrigerator. However, I felt compelled to offer something than looked new and fresh. Hubby grilled corn on the cob while I put a relish dish together that we had with store-bought hummus.

Chicken tikka marinating overnight for tomorrow. Some is likely to become Tikka Masala on Saturday.
