What did you cook or eat today (April 2026)?

Today I made some batter and had some Onion Rings and a Blooming Onion (with a side of some frozen BBQ wings:

It was the first time I used this recipe for the batter and when I first tasted it, the spices weren't quite to my liking - until I dunked them in the dip and then they came to life and it was really tasty! Light and crisp batter with succulent sweet onions 😎

I thought I had some flour tortillas but all I had were small soft white corn, which I pan fried in some of the pork juice and fat from the crockpot. I put some shredded Monterey jack cheese on them while they were in the pan, then on the plate I added red cabbage, carrot, lime crema, fresh tomato salsa, pulled pork, and Chipotle Tabasco. I sliced some avocado and forgot to put it on the tacos, lol. But damn they were good! And messy.

Repeat for breakfast (4:30pm) but just 1. I remembered the avocado this time.

I had 16 large flour tortillas so I made the GG's chicken wraps and quesadillas. "Fresh" tomatoes are stupid pricey @ $2/lb so I used a can of peeled Red Gold brand Roma tomatoes and some of what I didn't use I ate for breakfast. Pretty tasty!
 
It was beautiful today. DD and I picked up Jersey Mike's mini subs and Carvel ice cream for dinner after we went shopping and then took a short ride.
