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

[medtran49]

Tapas. A pork belly plate each, duck breast for me, Iberico ham for Craig, churrasco for Craig. Patatas bravas and mushrooms in a garlic and some kind of whole dried chile sauce to share. 2 glasses of Sangria for me. Wanted to try dessert, but stuffed.

I'm on a mission to try and make Yorkshire Pudding that tastes like my Mum used to make! To turn it in to a meal I keep adding sausages to make it Toad In The Hole.

The first time I used Lard but yesterday I used Beef dripping and it was a lot tastier but still not quite right so I'll have to keep trying!

Is that a jar of literal beef tallow? That's awesome

Got a NY Syrip steak, 2 inches thick, on my new pellet grill. First cook on it. Father’s Day gift.

There was a load of skinless sausages, half a pack of lardons and four rashers of bacon in need of using up. Had a bacon sarnie and cooked up the rest for I dunno what later

The air fryer setting on the Ninja (instant pot thing) did a good job. Put it all in at the same time and pulled out the bacon, then the lardons and finally the sausages. All done and dusted in under 15minutes

maybe you posted elsewhere but how do you stop the sausages from disintegrating without skins? is it just a case of squishing them really hard when forming them?

While shopping at the regular grocery store a couple of weeks ago, I noticed they had beef tallow and duck fat in the area with Crisco and lard.

I like eating the skins but the way they're treated/sprayed when commercially grown makes them *not healthy*.

Wash them and scrub them with a brush. Fried at 375F - that'll kill off everything. Been there, done that, and I haven't popped my socks yet.

Liliha Bakery inside Macy's at Ala Moana Shopping Center for linner today
Miso Butterfish
Kara'age Chicken
all served with their famous Butter Rolls that are served grilled in butter ad a raspberry dipping sauce (ssshhhh, don't tell DH about the gobs of butter there, he claims to dislike butter)

Man, that seems expensive. $18 for eggs on toast? Is that because it's at an airport?

That plus is Australian dollars. Divide by 2 to get to GBP

 

[badjak]

Accidental pita bread with chorizo and a smear of hot sauce

Just mixed up a "salsa sauce"
3 types of chili's, garlic, tomatillo's, fish sauce & wine vinegar. It's thin, it's hot, very hot and also very nice

My sourdough was not ready yet, but I took of a bit of dough, rolled it out and baked it in a dry covered skillet and it puffed up

A light hot weather lunch. We're expecting Spanish weather until the end of august due to an unusual heat dome over Western Europe so it will be a hot summer.

Peppers with low fat cream cheese and everything bagel seasoning, cucumber, goldfish crackers & a pita with low fat beef spread

JAS_OH1 has a recipe link here for making skinless sausages that appeared to work well.

This would've been better with fries but there's more than one app that says I'm overweight so I'll just go with fat reduced remoulade sauce, yeah that's it...

Fried catfish.

I needed my fix of vegetables after the last "few" days of travel and recovery.

It was a yellow label job... 3 times that quantity of everything. broccoli 30p, 5 baby aubergines 35p, shiitake mushrooms 40p. 50p for organic baby potatoes. And some vegan boursin.
I did pay full price for the onion, garlic and thyme. There's a vegan sausage in there as well.

Lunch was the usual. Waitrose had some decent avocados, and give them a day or two and they might be ripe!

I went to Trader Joe's on Sunday. I love their cheese and at a pretty good price. I saw a dairy-free version of garlic and herb boursin. It's excellent. We serve our soft cheese on bakery bread (Italian round loaf/panella).
