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

[JAS_OH1]

I made a shrimp cocktail, fried grouper with tartar sauce, and hush puppies for dinner. No vegetables.

Rice, with a bunch of stuff that needed finishing

Put this into my Notes on my iPhone - MAHALO!!

I oopsed by a block. It's Decatur and Spring Mountain. Right behind the Chevron station.

Puggles I think someone else in this forum has done that before, so you aren't alone.

Yea, it was me about 2 years ago.

Yeah, me, myself, and I make a pretty good team until someone drops the (dough) ball

Made egg mayo for later (although really it’s a significant amount of salad cream with a bit of mayo so it’s not too claggy). Another win for pressure cooking them. Although I think I need to drop the cooking time from 4 mins to 3 as I was bordering on the grey ferrous sulphide ring thing happening.

Little pic to show how nicely they peel after pressure cooking.

I find mashing eggs with a fork hard on the hands so I use an egg slicer and slice them in both directions, I don’t know why the way they look after that pleases me

Looking forward to having that

Then some requested Balti Chicken sandwich meat. Tried out making chicken crackling using a different method which turned out to be worth it in the end.

The chicken skins were poached very briefly (about 30 seconds), any really thick fat parts cut off and then roased.

I’d decided the extra step of boiling water wasn’t worth it until I tried it. It shrinks even more than usual but all the fat renders out and it bubbles up into a super crispy crunch.

And lastly a steak and onion pie topped with crumbled rosti potatoes. The M&S ones are particularly good for this because the onion is chopped nicely for this purpose.

Before cooking - because I often forget to take one after

And after

Couldn’t decide which pic so heres both

 

[PAcanis]

Oh my

 

[Gone Hiking]

Western omelette with home fries and (a new one for me) liverwurst for a change instead of bacon. This plate was for my teenager this morning. I couldn't eat nearly that much!

liverwurst

Braunschweiger is one of MrsT’s absolute favorite Fall Sunday snacks - saltines, braunschweiger, and raw onion.

I use a pastry blender to chop avocados and hard boiled eggs.

 

[JAS_OH1]

I put 3 small fried grouper filets on parchment paper in the oven to reheat. I ate 2 with tartar sauce and dh ate 1 (no tarter sauce) with cheesy scrambled eggs. That was breakfast at 1pm.

Got some shrimp cocktail to finish up later after the pool. Seared tuna for dinner.

 

[TastyReuben]

Salami variety, two cheeses, olives, pepperoncini, and pickled carrots, along with some rosemary breadsticks.

Lunch - 3 Wing segments (dry buffalo wings), buffalo sauce and blue cheese dressing on side to dip, 1 slice thin crust pizza w/sausage, and a couple fries.
