What did you cook or eat today? (December 2025)

[Wombat457]

I don't understand what getting tired of lamb chops means. Right rascal

Meaning - when I just had eaten too much of them - back then I would buy a couple of tray's of lamb chops, each containing 12 chops each, cook them up, have a couple hot and put the rest in the fridge to have cold later .... by the time I had finished them I needed something different, which was usually Fish and Chips with Potatoe Cakes and a few Steamed Dim Sims, Chinese, sausages and steak. Then the ritual would start all over again

Was never that I tired of them as a whole, just that I had too many at one time - how could ANYONE get tired of lamb chops for pete's sake that would be akin to getting tired of breathing

Not much energy today, so my kind of basic meal

Salmon with teriyaki glaze, rosemary roast potatoes and green beans

Hi! Your link looks more like what we'd call a Brawn here in the UK.

The 'Scouse' dish I've made is a lamb stew where people from Liverpool get their nickname of being Scousers from - I believe it was originally served on board a lot of the ships that came to the Liverpool Docks.

Okay, I read Scouse as a typo thinking souse.

According to Google Scouse is derived from 'Lobscouse' which is what the Northern European sailors who arrived at the Liverpool Docks called it.

Made some fritters using grano cotto (cooked wheat) with parmigiano and herbs

Think I might make a couple of grilled cheese and tomatoe sangers to help stave off the hunger a bit, then make spaghetti sauce for bolognaise for dinner tonight - I think

 

[Wombat457]

Well - so much for the grilled cheese and toomatoe sangers - NO tomatoes

Spaghetti is off the books as well from the looks - the other half (OH) wants to go to Marino's for dinner and do some washing at the same time - long story, don't ask

Tummy is feeling bad. So I think Pastina and egg will be easy on my tummy.

 

[Wombat457]

What is Pastina? I have not heard of that before .........

Okay googles it - I love pasta so I'll have to look out for it next time I go "Pasta Shopping"

Sorry to hear that, get well soon
A good warm pastina will help for sure

Rice porridge made with bone broth is my go to for stomach issues if yogurt doesn't work.

Get to feeling better.
