We went out of town this morning. Went to a Mexican restaurant over in Colorado City. Had beef, chicken and shrimp fajitas with beans, rice, he had guacamole, flour tortillas (him) corn tortillas for me, and a side of locked in the bathroom.
What did you cook/eat today (July 2017)?

I'd love it if you posted some photos of those restaurant meals @Cinisajoy. Its always interesting to see what is served up in restaurants in other places.
I'll try to post it up. I sort of 'improvised'! So in other words I didn't write down exact measurements.
Son's dinner - rump steak, oven chips and green salad - (I'm testing out my new Samsung smart phone camera in rubbish light conditions):

That is some pickled breadfruit which was a side dish of sorts.Had the usual Sunday rice and chicken and all the rest of it. The breadfruit was a treat as it's the first time I went all out with it.

Did you pan fry it? It doesn't look ruined to me but personally I prefer my beef a little more rare than that.

Me too. No, I've got into a lazy habit of cooking joints in a water bath then finishing them in a hot oven. It's supposed to be foolproof. Pan frying would have been a much better idea with this one. Expensive lesson learned.

@Cinisajoy - you asked me in the June thread about savoury French toast.
My mother used to make it for me when I was little, in fact I was not familiar with the sweet version until I was an adult. I don't have a recipe but I do remember the ingredients.
Eggs
Milk
Dried parsley flakes
Powdered dried onion powder or possibly garlic salt
Parmesan cheese - the shelf stable variety but you could use fresh
Salt
White pepper
Mix all of the ingredients together.
Dip stale bread slices in & pan fry.
I can remember sitting on the front stairs in the winter sun eating this hot in a paper napkin, but Dad said Mum used to make it to serve with tomato soup.

Sounds like it would be good with lasagna. I have the shelf stable Parmesan.

This was included in the meal for no extra charge, I would guess? I can't see you ordering it as a side...
Seriously, sorry to hear you ran into Montezuma while dining in Colorado. Hope you feel better soon.

I've just found a sirloin steak in the freezer which is past it's sell-by-date. I'll cook tomorrow. It's only about 15mm thick so I'll likely pan fry it for a couple of minutes each side then finish it off with the blowlamp.

I made breakfast-for-supper. I've wanted blueberry pancakes for a few weeks, but always forget to make them before I eat my first something of the day. Tonight we had blueberry pancakes with either real Ohio maple syrup or my homemade apple syrup, sweet apple chicken sausage, and eggs. Most of the time eggs are some variation of scrambled, but I wanted over easy. Hubby gets runny yolks on those occasions. Since there was no toast for dipping, I made them a bit more done, with almost-gooey centers. He said they were perfect (smart man). Mine ended up being over hard because I had too much going on to pay proper attention. Oh, well...
His egg plate. He did have pancakes, too, so don't think I cheated him.
My eggs and sausage, along with my pancakes with apple syrup. I also had two more cakes with maple syrup. *burp*

No, not Montezuma. Literally locked in the bathroom. The lock malfunctioned.
