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

[rascal]

I'll take some photos later, but yesterday I made a Swiss chard, chickpea and tomato dish, with some bacon in for good measure. I love Swiss chard, and it's always there at the supermarket, but too many people ignore it, or just stew it with garlic.
Following that, minced beef with onions, sweet chiles, red peppers, garlic and tomato passata. That should sort out son's lunches for a few days.

Swiss chard is that silver beet.?.
I put that in my bhajees.

I've made a big batch of chicken croquettes. Should get around 40. I will try and make smaller so I get more.
In fridge in garage. Cling film on top. Will egg wash and crumb tomorrow .

I'll show the crumb later because it's still cooling down, but I wanted to show you guys how incredible my Sourdough came out!
This is by far my prettiest looking loaf. I even nailed the "ear." It's perfect!

That looks so awesome! I'd glady pay for such a loaf.

Recipe - Chicken and Tasso Jambalaya

I had it without the extra sauce, makes it too spicy for me. Craig had with sauce.

Just pickled this stuff:

Rick Bayless says this is Chiles Jalapeños y Verduras en Escabeche, so that’s what it is.

Some lunches for Pippi's groomer girls:

Two chicken quesadilla plates.

Four red beans and rice. Breads was on the side and they also got a chocolate cake with M&Ms in it...

Good looking plates. You made all those up yourself?

Thank you and yes. I figure people eat with their eyes first so if it looks good they'll like it. They always do and order more.
