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

[Rocklobster]

Beef Short Ribs. They were supposed to be this past Sunday's dinner but we had drop-in visitors and by the time they left I didn't want to get into a 3 hour cook. And, last night didn't work, either. I cooked these at work today and brought them home to finish up here.

The lactic acid is what makes it sour.

Correct, that and the acetic acid together.

Lotsa color in tonight’s salad:

That’s with some harissa vinaigrette.

I've never used blood as a dressing before. How was it? I'm curious.

I'm confused, where is the blood in the dressing???

I did some soft-boiled eggs, but was dreading peeling them, and tried a new method that works eggcellent (). After chilling in the ice bath, use the back of a spoon to crack them all over, and then submerge them back in the water for a few minutes, and then peel them under trickling water. It was substantially easier to peel them using this method.

Went to a taco place. Small chain. Been before and it was very good. Today…….not so good. Greasy and too much salt

One of these days, maybe, I'm not going to have to Google what you ate

Those fried chicken nuggets are right up my alley. And I love dark meat. So even more.

Big pot of dhal:

Oh yummy!
I doubt I'm going to make some in the near future, however; I've been cooking Indian food every day for 4 weeks.

Which one do you want? We made 16 different items
Let me see if I can get the menu up - might be hard because I'm technologically challenged...

Starters were 3 chutneys (mango, tamarind, mint) and 1 hot pickle (garlic pickle) Naan bread, bhatura, and a papadum (no recipe for papadums), then pakoras, vadas and samosas. Pani puri/gol gappas, and raita.
Veggie options: chickpeas (chole), aubergines Hyderabad style, aloo ghobi, Blue mountain lentil stew with cabbage. Veg biryani.
Mains: butter chicken, Rogan josh ( with lamb), pork vindaloo and shrimp in coconut milk (meen pappas).
