Sounds good. I think it deserves a proper title.

Maybe MyPinch can come up with a fancy Italian name for it.

Pepin would just call it Shrimp Casey. He's pretty lazy with his naming.

Tried new owners out at local fish n chip shop. Last two owners were nil. I tried a mixture knowing something would be wrong?
Fish wasn't cooked, thrown out to birds. Sausage a precooked .50 c sausage on a kebab skewer. Wtf??
Meat pattie too many herbs but chips were good. Last time I'm going there.

Last nights dinner was simple and comforting. Paneed veal escalope with cabbage? carrot slaw and buttery mash. Pud was orange segments from a neighbors oranges.

The Siberian blast started to hit us last night, snow fell about two kilometre away oop the mountain behind us. Worse is to come. This is very unusual. I cut up some of Mladens homemade sausage and cut a few ribs of the sheet he gave us. The beans will be spot on for the conditions.

Looking at those I would call them spring rolls, my samosas are triangle shape, well kind of, wife folds them, maybe I should fold like yours? I could use filo pastry?
Note to self?

My wife (and I) have difficulty in producing triangular samosas that don't "unwrap" when deep fried. However, she's adept at spring roll rolling (having worked at a bakery in the past) so that's now how we have them. I find them easier to eat also.

A past effort at triangular samosas which weren't that bad.....

Cooked.

Let me think about it albeit it should be more related to you since it’s a your creation (very nice)

Hello!

Last night I made this mixed paella. Morning Glory I looked at your method from the cookalong and changed the order of things - I put the rice in before the stock and gave it a bit of a fry first (I usually do it the other way around) and it made a noticeable difference for the better in terms of taste, plus it seemed to cook faster.

Our family isn't much for mussels, so I bought some small flower crabs, which I ended up eating most of since the kids found them a bit fiddly (and sharp).

That looks great! I'm pleased it worked out. And yes, frying the rice a little first is the 'authentic' way to do it. I use the term advisedly...

Steak with red wine sauce & fries . Got a vegetable soup for later today. You will see more pics like this from me as I am on a medically necessary low fibre diet & mainly eat fruit & vegetable soups for vitamin intake.

Recipe

 

[Morning Glory]

Mussels, mangetout, tomatoes, spaghetti. Maybe an unusual combination... Quite a good dash of Thai fish sauce in there. Ok - I was using up leftovers.
