What did you cook or eat today (May 2019)?

[Morning Glory]

Cooked up a big batch of carrot halwa (gaja ka halwa) today. Very happy with the result, though very decadent.

I was thinking halwa was a sweet thing but in your image it looks as if its savoury...chips on top?

Haha....no, must be a bad pic. Definitely sweet and the garnishing on top was some dry roasted slivered almonds and roughly chopped pistachios.

How interesting and easy. Lots of possibilities using this technique. I wonder what @MypinchofItaly would think?

Do you really want to know?

Oops! I think it was a question of scale - the image makes it look big so I thought they were chips on top! Silly me...

Char siu (pork).

Wow...I love everything about this, from the glaze to the juicy interior.

Unfortunately my wife liked it also. So it's all gone!

No...not silly at all now that I look again. I think I cropped the original pic too hard, as was using it for my thumbnail to try and promote my YouTube video on cooking it. But has had less hits than I normally get in the first few hours....so this might explain it. Here's the original.

Hubby was obviously very hungry last night because he had served tea before I even got to the table to say that I wanted a photo because it looked really good.. .
Vegan mac cheese with (vegan) sausage pieces . It did look great, tasted great and was just what we both needed .some comfort food .I'd just underestimated how much hubby needed it!
