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

That's good to know guys, thanks. I made a turkey stock from a smoked turkey carcass (no feet or heads, lol) and it was pretty high sodium. It's very gelatinous. It's in a Pyrex with a tight lid in the coldest part of my refrigerator. I'm thinking of adding 1-2 tbsp here and there to various dishes to use up the last of it. It's about 3 weeks old. I'd used it with smoked turkey meat, egg noodles, mushrooms and heavy cream about 10 days ago for a casserole and it was delicious. I think I'll add it to my quiche egg mixture today.
Your welcome. I like to mix mine half and half with water to make rice. Pippi gets chicken rice and it's all stock, no water dilution.

I'm a big rice person but my DH loves pasta more. It might make a good base along with seafood stock for a paella. He'd eat that. I've got octopus, shrimp, scallops and fish in the freezer. Might have to have my youngest daughter and her husband over one night soon. SIL is pescatarian and she goes with the flow.

I use a mix of chicken and prawn stock for paella sometimes.

You could make 'Fideua' which is pasta paella.
 
Gratin dauphinois, salmon with dill cream sauce, and carrots/green beans

Craig had a new doc appointment a bit north of us, so decided to go to our favorite Mexican place for a late lunch/early dinner since we haven't been in quite a while and it was only a few miles east of the doc's office. I had a tejito, a mojito made with tequila instead of rum, and pork belly tacos with a tamarind sauce. There was another tortilla underneath, so I ended up with 4, ate 2 and some of the beans and rice. Brought the rest home to split for a snack tonight. Craig had Rojo (red) mole with shredded beef, beans and rice, and ate every bit. They make their own tortillas out of white corn for the platters. The chips are brought out warm from the fryer with salsa.

I watched eva Longoria on tv the other night. It was made in Mexico and cooking moles. Very intricate recipe. Do you make your own??
