What did you cook today (April 2021)?

[Windigo]

I made Pastiera Napoletana at last. This is a typical Neapolitan Easter Cake made basically with Ricotta and boiled wheat.

Easter breakfast.

A cinnamon marzipan & pecan babka, a butter bunny, fresh orange juice and boiled eggs.

Boeuf Bourgignon (could have done with more carrots):

Shin of beef was on offer so I made this. Super tender (after about 2.5hrs!).

That looks just wonderful! - is it wrong that I want to dig my knife in that sweet little bunny's noggin and spread it all over my toast?

Chicken breast, creamed mushroom and Swede mash,
Lentil bolognese, polenta and salsa verde.

it’s been a lazy food week, as I’ve been using a local company who are starting a new venture of providing ingredients and recipes in a delivered box. All the vegetables are homegrown, and meat/fish etc sourced from local suppliers. The food has been great and it’s been nice to not have to think about what to make.

Easter egg time

Pane cotto inspired dish was ok...I like how the kale tasted, probably should have had a stronger tasting bread, but with some shredded cheese and yoghurt it was a good side. Croutons on top. To my bowl I added some spices(poultry pepper spice mix)...after the photo was taken.

Some recipes add sausage and beans to it, definitely could be a good add on.

I am visiting family in Houston, and we went to one of their favorite restaurants called Sam's Seafood. The place makes great food, most of it deep fried. I had my usual -- fried catfish and fried okra.

BTW, the thread this month says "What did you cook today." It usually says "What did you cook or eat today." I didn't cook this meal, but I am assuming the "or eat" part still applies?

Had these with a cup of tea last night:

MypinchofItaly - I got these at the international market, in the Italian section. Are these a popular brand there?

I’m not so sure because I’m not a very “wafer” person (if this makes sense and I don’t buy them often, but probably they are among others, although I think that the most popular brand here is Loacker

It's happened before.

I blame the drink.

I love wafers! Orange sounds yummy.

There were times I could not stop at 3-4, 13-14 wafersfunny thing, they are called Napolitanke here, but also vafle...my Mom still adores them, when they are filled with kind of nougat...or cocoa...

And the tablegrill was fun again. We really had a good time with my youngest stepson, he's coming out of his shell now his brother is elsewhere.
