What did you cook or eat today (August 2022)?

[Yorky]

Notwithstanding that I don't understand the joke, I have taken a beef steak out of the freezer and I shall cook a "Carne Asada" tomorrow (probably with a few chips).

Here we go........

The cafe owner near work was bragging to me yesterday that he had a special burger in mind for Friday so I told him I’d have one at 11am with sweet potato fries.

Chicken burger with cheese, bacon, rocket & mushrooms in a thick creamy sauce. Chips with homemade chilli sauce.

OMG. So much food. 8 hours later I couldn’t face dinner. I eventually had some fermented veggies and salad leaves with a glass of wine.

I still had leftover potatoes and bell peppers from the codfish caldeirada but no more codfish, so I just grilled some sardines and ate them with the leftover vegetables and a tomato salad

My first time eating spareribs.. from a real barbecue. Delicious!

I spent my lunch hour making this vegan pasta salad- super yummy, it really surpassed my expectations! I’ll see if I can get the recipe up this weekend.

I’m doing something I haven’t done in a long time…eating at a department store cafe, at Nordstrom.

I’m just having fries and a beer, but there’s something that feels so…1940’s about eating in a department store restaurant. When I worked in downtown Minneapolis, I used to eat at one of the restaurants in Dayton’s (later Marshall Field’s…later Macy’s).

I've just cooked a pan of Jersey Royals, crisp to the fork, and served them up on their own with Kerrygold butter. The last six are being saved for potato salad tomorrow.

I don't think the Nordstrom in Frisco has a cafe. Wait, just checked the website, and they do have a cafe. I guess I don't shop at Nordstrom enough.

I'm intending fried rice tomorrow (khow phadt khung). We (my wife) bought all the additional necessary ingredients today.

Was too busy yesterday and too tired today to cook.

So beans on toast for both lunches

Saturday night usual last night

And a favourite quick and easy, protein pasta (made with red lentil flour), peas and dairy free pesto tonight.

Are you cooking it?

I love Thai fried rice. I have fond memories growing up of my father taking me to a Thai restaurant in Florida where we lived. He would get Thai hot dishes and I always got Thai fried rice.

My fried rice dish is very vegetable forward and I like finishing it with sesame oil and topped with sesame seeds. I also used sliced ribeye steak in mine last night but I often use pork tenderloin or prawns. It definitely doesn't lend itself to any particular Asian cuisine but is very tasty.

Are you cooking it?

Yes I shall be, although no doubt my wife will take over should she consider that my method is not authentic.
