What did you cook or eat today: August 2025?

Last night had the best Chinese I’ve ever had. They had a dedicated gluten free menu which is unheard of and certainly my first experience of being able to choose from such a gloriously expansive GF menu.
The crispy chilli beef was AMAZING. I don’t know how they did it. That could well become my next cooking mission!

Yes we do but I was unashamedly stuffing my hungry pie hole as quickly as possible, drinking cocktails and laughing like a loon so pics didn’t happen.
But that’s good because when I woke up this morning I realised I MUST go back and eat there again in order to take pics for the forum 😂

Now you've got me wanting andouille. Louisiana style andouille, not that French stuff.

The new grocery ad has another variety of sausage on sale this week by the manufacturer of the commercially made, readily available andouille we like. It's Holmes Smokehouse. Haven't tried anything else from them other than the andouille though.
 
I had a little bit of corned beef leftover that I didn't put in my sauerkraut ball mixture. Last night I was boiling potatoes to make mashed potatoes and my DH expressed interest in a corned beef hash for breakfast for today, so I took out some of the mostly cooked potatoes and put them in a container in the fridge. I sauteed some onion this morning (errr, noonish) and added the potatoes and corned beef, then fried him two over-medium eggs to go on top. He was really happy with that. He usually doesn't ask me for anything in particular and just eats whatever I put in front of him.

Will be rolling up sauerkraut balls in a couple hours, not feeling terribly motivated at the moment.
 
Sauerkraut balls are rolled and had the initial flour dredge, next into an eggwash and rolled in breadcrumbs. My back kinda hurts so I am stopping for a minute before that last step.

That looks good! Round here we call that ‘bee hoon’ and it’s commonly eaten at breakfast. You get the noodles then you can choose add-ons like a fried egg, chicken wing, deep fried prawns etc.. Eaten with lots of sambal chilli. :)

I also use loads of feta cheese. Never tried garlic or dill.
I've had Armenian (a friend's mother told me the ingredients. But no amounts. She made tricorns open in the middle with bread dough and served with lemon wedges). And Greek spinach pies made with Philo. I did like you. Mixed and matched till I got what we like. When I had left over filling, I have done biscuit tricorns.
HMMMM, Going to have to make this soon. LOL

From what I understand, dill is one of the main ingredients. 💜
