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

Thursday night's dinner was a spicy mushroom strudel with spinach and yoghurt, followed by fresh fruit. The strudel was made from scratch.

Thank you! It's the first time I've ever made strudel from scratch.

Thank you! It's the first time I've ever made strudel from scratch.

I've never tried it. I really must!

Your plates are always so beautiful - so artistic.

I've never tried it. I really must!

Every one says that strudel pastry (and therefore also phyllo pastry) is really hard to make. OK, it's not professional quality, but I was pretty pleased with how it turned out. I think the moral is to start small

Experimenting......
Venus black rice with honey, toasted almond flakes, raisins and a sprinkle of powdered cinnamon.
Pic isn't the best.

I love the pic because it has the pouring honey in action! Its a good photo. You posted a Venus black rice dish before (I think that was a savoury dish?) - as a result I bought some Venus rice but have not yet cooked it! I really must.

Friday night's dinner was the other half of the spicy mushroom strudel this time served cold with cherry tomatoes, sautéed potatoes, and yoghurt.

We were given these water chestnuts yesterday. I haven't a clue what to do with them. Maybe a chop suey?

 

[ElizabethB]

Stunning - I have never seen water chestnuts other than in a can.

I like the pouring action too but not the set...it seems a mush...next time..
Yes I've posted a savoury Venus Rice dish before. This sweet version doesn't disappoint me, it's a good mix. Let me know if or when you'll try it.

Lunch for two...
One of the eggs was another double yolker.

 

[Yorky]

A couple of left over tandoori chicken drumsticks and garlic roast potatoes.
