What did you cook or eat today (January 2023)?

[Windigo]

Cooking? Nay! I seem to somehow still feel kinda full from yesterday. So I only ate this deli sushi for my dinner. Same for my husband.

Crab salad, cucumber, and salmon maki.

Cheesy potato wedges. I’ve used a mix of Gorgonzola, Parmigiano and Asiago.

That looks delicious, would you mind sharing the recipe? Also, curious to know if you cooked anything special to celebrate the Chinese New Year?

Yes it's from Misty Ricardo's Curry Compendium cookbook (which I got for Christmas ).

He has a video of it here (I just did the first part, not the topping that goes with it, and I used sea bass fillets which seemed to work fine).

[EDIT] I also added a 1/4 tsp of red food colouring. [/EDIT]

For CNY I made dumplings (similar to wontons or gyoza) but I didn't take any pictures and we already ate them all! Next time I do them I will post them up and the recipe (which I got from my aunt).

Anytime. BTW - the recipe calls for something called 'Mix Powder' and you can find that here.

I mentioned that I like to eat what the locals eat, but... I'm a bit squeamish about haggis. I would try it, but no promises I would finish eating a portion.

Haggis is like black pudding, either you do or you don't. Personal taste

Today I had a wagon wheel for the 1st time in years, now I remember why I don't normally eat them...pretty bland.

Happy Lunar New Year!
Gung hay fat choy!
-edit- one must eat "lucky foods" at New Year...
Took Mom to a new Asian Bistro around the corner from her place:

We shared this table full of food!

Real haggis or the "American" version? I don't know if I could do the real thing. Man, lungs just don't sound appetizing.

Why yes, I do sort my Necco wafers by color and consume them in order, from most to least, until one wafer of each color remains, then they go light to dark:
