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

[rascal]

The usual is fries, or chips/crisps, but MrsTasty has fries last night, so I thought I'd do something a bit healthier, by frying some corn in about three tablespoons of butter.

Yeah, I know...I still have nightmares over your creamed corn sandwiches.

And ham, don't forget the ham. Lmao.

I would never serve those two together, is it an amurican thing? I serve fries with mine. Don't get me wrong I love corn, we even grow it.

Neither would I - not just because I don't much like corn. In fact, I never thought of serving anything alongside a burger except chips (fries) and maybe salad.

Homemade spinach and garlic pasta with an onion, garlic, honey, Marsala sauce. Parm R on top.

A New York style cheesecake is cooling on a rack to go into refrigerator for dessert tomorrow night.

I love this. Is there something extra in this version? I mean the reddish brown parts.

Those are the onions in the sauce. I love this dish!

No, the onions were just caramelized more this time.

A chocolate dipped soft serve offered by my dearest on our daily walk. We have an ice cream take away near so we enjoyed the oppprtunity.

Crown of lamb...a bit lopsided but tasted great.

Seafood stew but using orzo pasta instead of rice. We had a dish like this on a recent trip to Miami and I decided to try and replicate it at home, it was pretty close!

Burgers have something of a split personality here. There are inside, sit-down burgers, like burgers you'd get at a bar, and those would either be accompanied by fries/chips of some sort. In a diner, you're more likely to get it with chips/crisps, unless you ask for (and pay extra for) fries.

The other side, as caseydog mentioned, is the backyard barbecue - burgers (and hot dogs) are probably cooked out at family gatherings more than anything else - they're fast, they're easy, they're cheap, and they're good. That means any standard cookout sides are also natural pairings for a backyard burger - potato salad, macaroni salad, baked beans, corn-on-the-cob, and coleslaw. Coleslaw deserves its own mention, because where I'm from, coleslaw is served on the hamburger as much as it's a side. Then it becomes a slawburger, and is a special kind of heaven.
