What was the last thing you cooked?

[velociraptor]

Round roast done in my sous vide.

 

[Yeshuasdaughter]

Dinner tonight:
Fried Catfish with Homemade Broccoli Slaw.

So dang good.

 

[Bolletje]

Puff pastry tarts with goat’s cheese, zucchini, cured ham, lemon juice and rucola.

 

[Yeshuasdaughter]

I made myself a lovely brunch of chicken pot pie, and a mug of French-pressed honeyed coffee with vanilla creamer.

I didn't make the pot pie from scratch. I'm kinda sleepy and busy today, so it was a Marie Calender's Chicken Pot Pie with Cauliflower Crust. I was curious about the cauliflower crust, and it was on sale. I highly recommend it, although homemade pot pie can't be beat.

 

[rach3rd]

Grilled chicken fajitas and hamburgers

 

[Yeshuasdaughter]

Puff pastry tarts with goat’s cheese, zucchini, cured ham, lemon juice and rucola.

Oh my goodness- You win. Wow, that sounds delish!

 

[NDR2]

Another thing I make regularly is pan fried potatoes. I peel and slice the potatoes, fry them in some oil, and season them with salt and pepper. I also add some green onion powder.

 

[Metalhead]

Chicken soft tacos, seasoned black beans, Spanish rice, and a side salad.

 

[tree]

Six ears of corn.

So, for a change, I didn't
have popcorn for supper
yesterday.

 

[Gift2humanity]

Rice with boiled peanuts and sweet and sour type sauce from Tesco.

 

[Yeshuasdaughter]

I am currently canning:

*2 quarts of fruit cocktail made from: mango, cherries, raspberries, and grapes, in medium syrup.
*1 pint Chicken breast
*2 pints Turkey burger

I just finished making a "seven day salad". That's basically a gigantic salad with tons of veggies, that will last several days.

On the stove, I have chopped up steak sizzling in olive oil, chopped limes, and salt and pepper. That will go on tonight's salad.

I have some leftover pasta from the other night. I might make a bed of chilled pasta on a plate, put some salad on that, and then steak on top.

 

[Yeshuasdaughter]

I have a bounty of nectarines and apples that I wanted to can before The Sabbath, but I'm in mourning for Her Majesty. They'll have to wait.

I am sauteeing Sliced potatoes, garden fresh tomatoes, so ripe, they practically burst when you touch them, and baby portabella mushrooms.

I plan to make a lovely fritatta for dinner tonight, with leftovers for tomorrow's breakfast.

********

Edit, later this evening:

As the frittatta cooled, I shredded gouda over it, and allowed it to slowly melt.

I cut out a triangle of frittatta and set it on the plate. Strings of melted cheese followed the spatula from pot to plate.

On the side, was a portion of salad that I made the other evening, still crisp and bright. I also toasted up an English muffin. And I drank a glass of sweetened iced tea.

 

[Aspychata]

Fake spaghetti- ramen noodles cooked, then dump a small can of tomato sauce. Then pretend it's the real deal. I go through stages of everything covered with tomato sauce or tomato paste.

 

[Yeshuasdaughter]

BBQ Marinated Skirt Steak (pan fried in a wee bit of olive oil)
Homemade Potato Salad
Veggie Salad

Medicinal Tea for anxiety on the side
And a bottle of water.

 

[Yeshuasdaughter]

The peaches are canning in the oven. I added vanilla, honey, and cinnamon to the pot, to make the finished product into mouth-wateringly good gifts for people.

Meanwhile I am baking up a crispy skinned whole chicken in the dutch oven, on the stove top.

Before I put the hen in, I fried up all the giblets. After the hen was ready to stew, I pulled out all the giblets and ate them from yuckiest (liver) to tastiest (neck). It was such a delicacy! That was a nice appetizer, plus it flavored the oil.

So once the lid was on the dutch oven, I made myself a kombucha cocktail.

Fill a tall glass 2/3 with kombucha, 1/3 with iced tea. Add the tiniest sprinkle of salt (just a few grains to cut the acidity). Pour homemade blueberry syrup over the top. Stir quick.

Yum, it's like blueberry soda!

 

[Luca]

Clam chowder. It was much better than expected.

 

[Magna]

Fried potatoes, peppers and onions. I grew the potatoes and peppers in my garden. I drizzled some creamy cucumber dressing on them that I made from scratch using cucumbers that I also grew.

With that I had a made from scratch pork burger in which I grind the meat and mix the bratwurst spice blend. The burger was on a hamburger bun that, you guess it...I also made from scratch.

Tasty.

 

[Jeff T]

Mung bean spaghetti with sausage, mushrooms, and tomato marinara.

 

[Progster]

Bean soup, which I never got to eat. It's now sitting in the fridge, no doubt slowly being taken over by mould. We had to leave in a hurry as my partner had to go to hospital, and now living in limbo, living out of a suitcase and eating ready meals from the supermarket. When I get home, I'll make a new bean soup.

 

[Yeshuasdaughter]

A two layered (from scratch) key lime/ poppyseed cake with cream cheese frosting for my mom's birthday party. My daughter and I worked together on it. My daughter perfected and beautified it into something far more exquisite than I could have ever made.

It was supposed to be lemon/poppyseed, but I had key limes in the fridge, so I zested and juiced them for the cake. Oh my goodness! I was so bright and lemony! Absolutely decadent.

If you would like to try to make it, here is the recipe: Lemon Poppy Seed Cake

If you'd like to make it with key limes, I found that about three or four limes is equivalent to the right amount for the recipe.

We used a standard sized 13x9 cake pan, and when the cake was cooled, we cut it in half to make a 2 layered cake.
