What did you cook or eat today (May 2021)?

[Yorky]

Pigs in blankets (UK style) are little sausages wrapped in bacon...

These look like sausage rolls.

I was going to wrap the sausages in bacon and then in pastry but I changed my mind. I may try just sausage wrapped in bacon at the weekend. I'm hoping to cook the chicken liver with straw mushrooms tomorrow.

Ham and Munster omelette to start the morning off.

I'm thinking chicken livers wrapped in bacon might make chicken livers edible.

Add a water chestnut and a little Asian marinade and you have rumaki. A fave of Craig's late oldest brother.

Now here is something that I am not terribly fond of. I find it mushy and bland.

try salting them and giving them a quick roast..if they are mushy, they are being overcooked

I oil them up with a little OO, and sprinkle with salt and pepper, then toss them on the grill just long enough to get a little crispy char. Not long enough to get soggy. I prefer the early season skinny asparagus. I call them my healthy French fries.

I roast them (tossed in olive oil) in a very hot oven, for just a little bit, then red pepper flakes and grated Parmesan.

I'm not crazy about asparagus, but I'll happily eat it. I like it in soups, with savory crepes, that sort of thing.

Today's meal is Italian sausage sandwiches with stone ground mustard, horse radish and sauer kraut. There's something German in that. The sandwiches are served with deep fried potatao and zucchini slices.

I don't think I have ever made fried rice sober. I haven't made it in a while.

You'll should try white asparagus. Craig and I both really like it. Takes a little more work, as it has to be peeled, then poached/boiled.

With green, we cook it like CD, except we then make a bundle of 3 and wrap in some prosciutto, dress with a light lemon juice viniagrette, and sprinkle with some ParmR.
