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

It was so humid hot last night the butter chicken I had made the day before just sat in its dish in the fridge & we all had cheese & fruit at 10pm.

I love butter chicken. We haven't had that in a good while.

We've having a new to us dish tonight, buckwheat crepes with an apple, onion, ham, gruyere filling. The batter is made and resting, cheese is grated, and the filling is also made, so I just have to cook the crepes.

I've put the butter chicken into single serve containers in the fridge. I might give a couple to the bachelor next door.

I ate one for breakfast.

buckwheat crepes

I'm interested in this. Buckwheat can make for quite a heavy pancake. I've only made buckwheat pancakes as blinis which works quite well.

On a Friday I normally play snooker and imbibe in a little alcoholic beverage. Today was no exception, so being fishcaked we called in the local Hainanese chicken rice stall for sustenance.

I share what I have prepared days ago..fennel au gratin only with turmeric and pecorino. No butter, no bechamel.

The crepes themselves came out fine and tasted good as long as you like buckwheat. Craig found he didn't like buckwheat in that amount though, blinis ok, large crepe not so much. We actually ended up eating sandwiches. You'd think apples, onions, ham, and cheese would all be good together but there was just something off and unpleasant tasting when it all got put together, even more so when you added the buckwheat taste from the crepes.

@morning glory Did you post the recipe for your torte? It looks lovely.

This recalls me something Scottish that I've tasted when I was in Edinburgh last year

Potstickers. Square ones are shrimp. Crescents are pork. My little black pug jumped up in my chair in the kitchen and tried to steal 1 of my pork ones while I was getting my sauce. I sat down on the couch to take the picture and eat, and next thing I know, the fawn pug had 1 of the shrimp ones. So, the pugs got to split a shrimp potsticker. It must have been pretty good because now I'm getting sad, I'm starving eyes.

Your folds are nice.

Your folds are nice.

Thank you but they really weren't this time. I didn't realize the package had gotten torn open and they were dry around the edges, so they were cracking as I was trying to fold. Guess I'll wrap even new packages in plastic wrap from now on and put in a storage bag before freezing.
