What did you cook or eat today: August 2025?

[MypinchofItaly]

Shopping at M&S Food this morning, I bought this “Everything tomato, garlic and herb paste” just out of curiosity…
OMG what a delight!
I started with a simple cucumber and feta salad, then tried in pasta with tuna chunks… a new addiction for my addictions list!

Have done some bits n bobs.
Mixed up some brine for some chicken legs that are now in the fridge submerged

Put together a pot of ingredients for an overnight slow cook of what will be little pots of chicken rillette tomorrow.

Removed the skins from the thighs (two trays worth) and have salted them ready for making chicken crackling later. Did one rosemary salt and one of the new lemon and thyme salt.

Made some pizza dough, maybe pizza or maybe calzone later

Discovered my bread roll wasn’t happy as the butter was still a bit hard but have no fear, the new grater to the rescue

Sliced up some Sea bass Beetroot gravlax I made. I didn’t get a great yield and it didn’t slice easily because a family emergency meant it had an extra 24 hours in the fridge. Still taste good though

No you're not quite right on that one. I can eat meat as long as it's minced, so sausages, burgers, meatballs, kebabs - all ok. It's pieces/chunks of meat that make me throw.

I am that way with ham, but I wouldn't want a "ham" burger!
