What did you cook or eat today (February 2021)?

[PabloLerntKochen]

Chicken soup with string beans, celery, red onion, ginger and garlic. Stay healthy

Edit: now I have to ask if "break" is a universal cooking word.

'Split' is more usual, I think.

'Split' is more usual, I think.

...and the occasional "curdle."

That is a great idea. I can just imagine how well that comes together with flavors. Good job!

Having pain today unfortunately, I tore my calf muscle yesterday so standing isn't comfortable. So we ordered snacks.

Here's fries with Bearnaise sauce and a nasi disk. In my own holder.

Oh no! I am so sorry you hurt yourself. I hope you can rest it and let it heal properly. Hugs.

I'm going through a 'soup phase' right now. That could be next on the menu here.

This was the last of the Great Leek-ening of 2021, or "Weeks of Leeks". I went a little overboard for the challenge and backup props, lol. But they all got used!!

I had Morning Glory's Recipe - Poussin with Pistachio, Sumac and Orange with wild rice leftovers. I didn't get any good photos though.

Did you toast your sandwich in a press?

Did you toast your sandwich in a press?

Sort of squashed in a panini grill!

Okay, now I am drooling on my keyboard.

I do understand what you mean by "leaf," I think. Fresh leeks are a bit "dirty" They require some effort. I think you made the right choice with the lighter cheese sauce. Milk and cheese is not an easy thing to cook together, it can break on you. Bravo!

Thanks again
Yes leeks are boring to clean and peel (there, it was peel and not leaf, ah me!). The cheese sauce is actually very easy to make, you just need to heat the milk without boiling it and gradually add the cheese, stirring constantly. No other additions.

Correct on all accounts, although I find myself saying zuces lately. We have a yellow one that is a massive producer.

Here in the US if it's yellow it's squash and if it's green it's a zucchini.

That's not true. I can get both Yellow and Green Zucchini. Acorn Squash is a cream color. Some Squash are greenish as well.
