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

[rascal]

It's Lobster Season here in Caracas at the moment. The restaurant I cooked at last month is doing a special lobster menu; lobster rolls in a brioche bun, lobster Thermidor, lobster vermicelli, lobster grill...
I think I might just see whether me and the wife can get down there for a faceful of lovely lobster...
The place I'm currently working with: chef told me today they've got through 120 kgs of lobster since last Friday

I did a deal with a mate who goes diving. I said could you get me a couple of paua (abalone) and a few crays.
Well he called here on Monday with 10 crays and 5 paua.
I am giving him.a selection of my preserves and a couple of boxes of beer.
Cup day here will be well provided for.
I also have whitebait for patties.

There's a question that vegans often get asked and tonight i find myself asking it as well.

Hubby cooked our evening meal. Cauliflower, carrots, asparagus with the tahini and herbs dressing.

"Where's the protein?" I carefully enquired.
"It's what we had last night..."
"Minus the leeks, the mushrooms, the peanut butter and the tofu dish"...

Protein was eaten later...

Tahini has protein. About 3g per tbsp apparently. Peanut butter has 4g per tbsp. I am probably teaching grandma to suck eggs. Tofu has 9g per 100g.

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Tofu has 9g per 100g.

Our tofu has 3 times that at 24g per 100g serving.

the tahini needs 20g 4 tsps to get 4g

Chicory with chilli and garlic

I was looking at the generic Internet calculation. Tofoo brand here is higher than that at 16.5.

More of the leftover bean soup, and I had a potato and some broccoli taking turns for the worse, so we had those topped with a little quick cheese sauce.

 

[PAcanis]

I just put some broccoli in a pot with a little water (to steam away), salt and herbs de provence, and virgin coconut oil.
The main course will be an open faced pork sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy from the other night. Leftovers
Or as I like to call leftovers, fast food.

It's been a very long day and I'm beat!
I called to the local 19th Hole (golf course bar & restaurant) to order take out Burger for Moi and Personal Pizza for DH ... THEY RAN OUT OF GROUND BEEF!!!!!!!!

Picnic lunch out. First of the season.

Then a walk to see some orchids. But I'll put those photos elsewhere.

And evening meal, potato and aubergine soup. It was given another name, but i can't remember it.

Needed a bit more flavouring and s&p but otherwise not bad.

Another leftovers based meal. I noticed we wasted more food because I am less hungry and I want to stop that so I am cooking with leftovers more often.

Sweet potato & regular potato mash with cheddar and green herbs, leftover beetroot salad, leftover veg, and merquez sausage.

I had difficulty closing the freezer the other day, which is always my signal to eat more from the freezer.

Sorry.
