What did you cook or eat today (June 2025)?

[TheSoloChef]

Just a couple of Lamb Chops, Stringless Beans, Mashed Potatoes and a dollop of mint sauce for my tea today!

We had tuna casserole with my homemade egg noodles and some really good imported canned tuna for dinner last night. Having the same for breakfast right now. I made DH some potato pancakes with a slice of melted cheese, 2 fried eggs, and bacon for his breakfast.

Eggs from this year's chicks. They hold together so much better than the eggs from our older retired chooks.

God, this looks so good, there's just something about it. I need to do this at some point. Savory, creamy, crunchy. mmmm

No burnt toast is probably SatNavSaysStraightOn's only crucial criteria.

SandwichShortOfAPicnic I tried out my pancake maker last week - set it to heat up on med - and the electrics tripped out wihle it was heating up Reset the electrics and tried again and it was ok. After cooking I even turned it up to high and the electrics were ok. So idk why they tripped on initial use.

Anyhow - I made a fresh lot of pancakes today, next week I'll test waffles

Takes more energy initially to heat something up and then less later to maintain it.

My thoughts exactly
Today I switched it on low for a bit (didn't wait for it to actually reach temperature), then I raised the temperature to the one I wanted

Oh, I also cooked up a fresh pot of rice, still needs portioning up and lobbing in the fridge

I have so much rice. I try to mix it up with potatoes though, varied nutrition.

I have a lot of rice too. I have regular cheapo rice, wild rice, black imperial rice, sushi rice, arborio rice, basmati rice (both white and brown), and that rice for paella (can't think of what it's called right now). I think that's all the rice I have (no jasmine at the moment)...but I also have several types of quinoa and barley.

mine was pudding rice for my breakfast pots, but I had planned to cook some long grain off to use as well

Thai today!
We started off with Thai spring rolls filled with shrimp (cold rolls, wrapped in rice paper) . Then we had what was called a fried egg salad, with green pawpaw, peanuts, noodles, a divine sweet/sour dressing and the eggs o the bottom.
Mains were crispy caramelised pork (yes, I tried some - excellent) and fish in green curry sauce.
All the flavours of Thailand were there except the fresh chiles. That caused me to ask for a ration of hot chiles from the kitchen to spark things up a bit.
When we got outside, my friend said "we forgot to take pictures!"
