What did you cook or eat today: July 2025

I know I've said this before ... the first time that DH took me "back east" to meet his family, I brought back a coupla chubs of Taylor's Ham for DH.
One morning I made Sunday Brunch for us two as well as my parents.
My Father tried it and proclaimed, "... this tastes like Spam."
:facepalm:
I thought DH was going to blow a gasket!
Not a bad thing! 😁
 
I made some tomato jam to replace boring, regular tomatoes for a BLT that I was craving. Thick cut, smokey bacon 🥓, sourdough bread and this tomato jam is amazing. Sweet, acidic, freshly grated ginger, a touch of all spice, A.C.V. Cinnamon and a touch of heat. You'll never go back to boring tomatoes for a BLT again. Paired with some potato salad.

Looks good, but what is A.C.V?
 
Grandkids here today I cooked 6x scrambled eggs and bacon 🥓
Lunch i gave them $45 to buy in a bakery near me.
Then at 3 we went to the pub . Kids had raspberry and coke. I had a jug of beer 🍺. Dropped them home at 5 then I cooked tandoori cutlets for us.
Cost me $80 for the day.
Money well spent imho.

I like that jam idea! I've got tomatoes coming in a mile a minute and that sounds like a good way to preserve some of them. 😋
