What did you cook or eat today (May 2026)

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Usual lunch, except for the fact the tofu was disintegrating. Usually it is a very firm tofu. I think they may have missed pressing this one.

I've just taken a chicken out of the freezer as one of the other threads made we want some

 

[msmofet]

Tart/galette, whatever, of prosciutto, pear, microplaned red onion (though I might use shallots instead next time, and seasoned mascarpone (basil, thyme, rosemary, oregano, S&P), with an all butter pie crust dough, with egg wash and ParmR around the edge. A small salad of arugula and mushrooms. Definite make again.

Your gnocchi look great - were you happy with the results?

Yea, it was great. I would have preferred my browned butter sage sauce, but couldn't get a hold of any fresh sage.

A batch of baby lima beans with a half pack of beef soup mix from Morelo's Market and around a half pound of bacon. The pasta in the soup breaks down to a creamy sauce.

You can use dried, not as good, but...

When I buy fresh, I toss what I don't use right away into the freezer.

I only needed half, literally, of the flour and there's a boatload leftover.

Awesome! What sauce are you gonna pair it with? Pig brains?

I'm thinking I'll see about some fresh sage and that brown butter sauce you mentioned.

(Brains are expensive!!!)

My 4pm breakfast was a slider on a pan toasted Pepperidge Farms bun. Boarshead sliced deli chicken, melted smoked Gouda, wasabi mayo, a thick slice of avocado, and homegrown sprouts.

That looks amazing. I never could get into wasabi, though; it always tasted weird and chemical to me. I don't think I've ever had "real" wasabi, though, just the fake stuff. Maybe I actually would like the real stuff.

I lied when I said I wasn't going to cook today.
Burgers with fried onions, crispy bacon, wasabi & green chile mayo, chips and a typical salad on the side:
