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

[Elawin]

At lunch time, I made myself a veggie soup (carrots, leeks, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes), and put a pinch of Chinese 5 spice seasoning and some light soy sauce for a bit more flavour. There was much more than is show in the photo

Tonight's dinner was just egg, chips and baked beans, followed by an orange and some After Eights.

Lunch and dinner were both eaten with a thick slice of home made bread. of course.

Looks like a lovely soup @Elawin.

After Eights? I haven't had those for years!

Yet another thing I had to look up. I learn so much on this forum! I think I'll have a stab at making that bread... and use lard!

As I understand it, many Latin countries, including Spain celebrate a girl's 15th birthday. I've heard of gowns being upwards of $50,000 and the actual event costing $200,000. Makes you wonder what is spent on weddings!
None of the ones I attended were anywhere near those numbers.

I only ever buy them at Christmas Tesco usually do them cheap.

Its a bit like me buying Advocaat at Christmas. I don't even like it that much!

Our Wednesday night dinner was our second and last jar of osetra caviar on toast points with creme fraiche if wanted. Second course was eggs in cocotte over duxelles, with a tiny bit of grated gruyere, and black truffle shavings. Oh, and a side salad.

I haven't bought any for ages. I only like the Warninks one and they don't seem to do the smaller bottles any more.

Goulash night tonight (or should that be Gulasch ). Just a simple one with potatoes and made from supermarket beef. Tasty, but not a patch of the ones I have made recently with meat from the butchers.

Chicken and cauliflower pakoras (with mint yoghurt dip).

@Yorky Your cauliflower pakoras reminded me of http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/anne-burrell/parmigiano-crusted-cauliflower-with-agliata-3185342 if you ever want to try an Italian version. We love these and have made them several times as part of a small plates dinner. Next time, I think I'll steal your idea and fry up some chicken too.

We had a portion of bolognese and a half portion of chilli in the freezer so we thawed them both out and yesterday our dinner was spaghetti bologchilli
