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

Note that he said "dumplings," as in plural - maybe Lullabelle thinks he's talking directly to "the girls..."

Molson is Canadian, Modelo is Mexican. I also like Peroni, especially with real Neapolitan style pizza.

CD

Yeah, I was being weird last night eating Mexican food with Canadian beer. Not the first time I've done odd food and beverage pairing. I sometimes have red wine when eating seafood.

I ate sweet and sour chicken from a Chinese I was walking by. It was very nice. But I took my photo too late, it looks like a mess. That's how I eat.

My bread did not turn out that great. S number if possible reasons.
After toasting each slice in the oven,it will be edible.
That is ok. I learn.

Breadmaking can be challenging for sure, especially when using difficult or unusual types of flour. And sometimes it can be as simple as a change of humidity. I only work with basic white flour making bread, I can't imagine how much more effort it must take using spelt, whole grain, and other types of flour. I did make some pumpernickel rye last month that turned out pretty good.

Which, the "everything" bagel seasoning mix? It's sesame seeds (both black and white), dried minced onion, dried minced garlic, poppyseed, and salt.

If I would have had a packet of dried French onion soup mix, I could have made some regular French onion dip myself, but it wouldn't have been the same as Lawson's, which is just the best around here in Akron, OH. It's only sold at Circle K convenience stores for some reason.

Lawson's French Onion Chip Dip:

And of course in the US our "chips" are actually crisps.

Lawson’s French Onion Dip - YUM! Whenever I had to travel to my employer’s corporate offices in WI, there was always a request to bring a few containers with me. That was a few years ago.. I am going to have to see if any stores in NW Ohio still carry it. Thanks for the story!

 

[The Velvet Curtain]

Gnocchi and black cured bacon with a Romesco sauce. A first attempt for me, perhaps a bit more sauce next time, and I will make my own gnocchi.

I am pretty sure Circle K stores throughout the state have it.

Edited to add this from the Circle K website:
"Lawson’s Original Chip Dip has been around for 75 years and the recipe is still the same and it’s only available at Circle K in OH, PA, MI, Lawrenceburg, IN and Northern KY."

I have not tried it, but the next time I pass a Circle K (we have them around here, just not that many), I'll stop in and get a tub or five.

I like it better than Heluva, which is pretty good. And it's much better than Smith's, too.

You're good...you've got some carrot sticks in there. Way to keep it healthy!

Asolutely..it's all mental..and, I'm pretty mental...

 

[Rocklobster]

Going to start a beef stew soon..We need classic white bread and butter to go with it...

I had a thick slice of roasted crockpot chicken breast with melted provolone cheese and crispy bacon on a toasted bun slathered with mayonnaise and mustard and some fresh garden lettuce. It was yummy!

Mayonnaise and mustard? Yikes! That's like ketchup and pickles.

Today's meal was a quickie, - a microwaved baked potato, 6 minutes on a side. Then I added cayenne pepper sauce, sour cream and black pepper. This is a repeat for sure. I like a baked potato every now and then. I was up and about at 2:00am and went for groceries at 5:30am, getting back to put them away, a couple hours later. This day already needs a nap.
