What did you cook or eat today (April 2020)?

When I do a crawfish boil, I usually go through one tank. When Karen brought back 80# from a trip to Kentucky, I went through almost 2 tanks. I have a 40 qt pot.
Maybe three years ago, we had a stretch of hot weather, and I said, "I'm going to grill out every night for as long as I can stand it," and I made it 11 days straight. Other than that, my average is probably three times a year.

I don't have anything against grilling per se, it's just that I don't like being outside, no matter what I'm doing, so standing out in the heat, on the deck, cooking something, when I have a perfectly good air-conditioned kitchen just doesn't make sense for me.

MrsTasty always laughs because even when I'm grilling, I do most of it from inside. The deck is off the kitchen, and I'll start the grill and get things prepped in the kitchen while it heats up. Then I'll put a steak down or whatever it is, and say it needs four minutes, I'll run back inside and stand in the kitchen for three-and-half minutes, run back outside and turn it, then run back into the kitchen. :laugh:
 
I've no idea what you'd call this. It's a kind of cross between a freaky potato pancake and a weird vegetable burger, made up of largely odds and ends. Potato, swede, green beans, onion, tomato and garlic made their way into it. Surprisingly tasty, I thought, even though I'm biased.

I love this sort of thing. It looks deliciously crispy. I took liberty of brightening up your photo a little to see it all the better (hope you don't mind):

Mixed grill for two tonight as a festive end to a month with just the two of us. The sauces are homemade. Baguette not pictured.

I was in Bergamo, Italy visiting a submarine factory where a client was having a boat built. A bunch of us went to dinner and the clients rep and I ordered the mixed grill. There were several items that I decided not to try, mostly the offal including sheep testicles (no I don't eat Rocky Mountain Oysters).
 
Happy Easter peeps. We’ve been eating non stop for 3 days with no end in sight yet. Thankfully my son left the Wii unplugged after swapping it over to the PS4 so I can’t weigh myself 🤭

Above is sesame prawn toasts with a sauce of siracha, kewpie mayo, diced pickles, capers & spring onions. Plus a rice noodle stir fry with lup cheong sausage and plenty of veg. Coriander is always banished to its own dish here as the husband is a hater.

The amazing delicious sesame prawn toast, round 2. Same batch, just held in the fridge overnight. They hold up well. They will have to make an appearance at a gathering when those are possible again.

Last nights pasta meal was a carbonara featuring chorizo instead of bacon or quanciale.

I’ve been for a nice long walk in the autumn sun this afternoon. Will repeat it tomorrow with an even longer one.
