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

[Burt Blank]

I took our friends to the airport. I put this little pigs leg in the oven to slow roast. It's cooling now for dinner tonight.

The weather is beautiful, for me it's the best time of the year. So we are of to the beach for a swim and then a few aperitifs before dinner. Split - BBC Weather

Yes they do count!

I make cornbread from scratch maybe 25% of the time, mainly because those little box mixes are dirt cheap, so I buy them in six-packs and they're always just sitting up there in the cupboard, waiting to be used.

Spaghetti ‘Carbo-Fredo’. At least that’s what I call it because it isn’t a true Carbonara by virtue of it having a dash of cream in it. Also my wife doesn’t like guanciale (boooooo!) so I just use smoked streaky bacon:

Nope

Hahaha ok, linseed isn't something I've seen or used here. We use it for wood. Flaxseed oil is an omega 6 over here and it's not used for cooking for the most part or shouldn't. Interesting what's used in different parts of the world.

EDIT: are you referring to the seed and not the oil?

I grew up eating Jiffy corn muffins. I still keep a box around for times when I don't feel like messing with my homemade. It tastes good.

Saturday staple on the stove - potato, onion, and kielbasa soup. Waiting for it to finish now.

oh my, yes, linseed, thank you.
It would be a bit tricky to eat a linen sheet

Let's hope that no one has ever compared your food to a linen sheet.

I think I've seen linseed oil as paint thinner?

It also keeps it fresher when purchased individually in the little boxes. I only make it once a month so it doesn't make sense to buy a big bag of cornmeal.

No, it is used for oiling things like unfinished wood and soapstone surfaces. You have to be very careful about linseed oil soaked rags. They can spontaneously combust if not cleaned or disposed of properly. That is the reason I use mineral oil instead.

I took a lot of art classes in school and painted with oil on canvas. It was 40 years ago, but pretty sure it is used with oil paints. I'll Google it later to double check.

Edited to add i was correct.

Well maybe, now that I think of it. I hated my required painting classes in college, so I blocked them out my memory.
