What did you cook or eat today (January 2022)?

Dim sum. Triangles are spinach and shiitaki filling. The shape that kind of looks like a framed rear end is shrimp, corn and red bell filling. All the rest are pork, cabbage and ginger filling. I ran out of round wrappers and had to use some square ones.

Most interesting. I'd never have thought of pairing them but I can understand how that would work: scallops have a sweetish taste, so the pomegranate molasses would contrast with that. Good thinking there vernplum.

Oh I can't claim creative credit for that - found it on Google, but it did work very well. Everyone wanted more scallops.

I would never, ever think of making a chilli-con-carne without tomatoes (pronounced tomatoes). But I'm not Texan; in fact I've only been to Texas once and the chilli-con-carne in Houston was tasteless.

The original chili had no tomatoes. Now, some people uses tomatoes, some don't. I usually do.

BTW, you mentioned your one experience with Houston chili before. One experience.

It's tough for two also, but I have lots of Pyrex containers and I freeze batches for later.

When cooking for a challenge you can scale down the recipe and put an explanation in the notes.

If you are starting without a recipe, there is nothing to scale down. I did once make an entry, and scale up what I did when I wrote up the recipe, but I was a little nervous about that.

A very tasty pork and leek sausage with cauliflower and potato curry. My first time trying this sausage so I only cooked one. It was excellent; I should have cooked two.

Tried a fray bentos cheese onion pie for the sake of the novelty ( it's tinned pie) ,served it with cabbage and mash & gravy .

Honestly it tastes like something you'd find in a care home. Not recommended.

Sweet and sour tofu stir fry. Those big triangles and the squares are a kind of pressed tofu filled with vegetables. If you're interested, I have the recipe written on my YouTube page and the video is there two. It's really good.

Same tofu balls, but served donburi style.
