Filet with baby Bella mushrooms, risotto, and grilled asparagus served with a Rioja red blend tonight.

 

I'm not sure I could live without pho. At this point, I am hopelessly addicted.

 

It's time for Glorious SPAM!

 

Less Sodium would that be less Sodium Nitrite or Sodium Chloride

 

Yes

 

I think we have a suspect. The story says "The thief fled in an unknown direction." Little did the clerk know he had an aircraft at his disposal.

Gratuitous fine dining shot:

 

Deep fried in batter was always a treat way back in the fifties when I think on it I suspect it was fried in fat, no oils back then.

 

A cold clear winters evening so a family fondue it is, brings back happy memories of winters spent in the Valais region of Switzerland


Fondue in a bag, sacrilege ? I'll report back.

Update - very nice and highly recommend, M&S product by the way

 

This thread is making me hungry.

 

something new tonight...

 

Nothing, because I joined this forum and am now obsessed and saving up for my first omega!

You probably hear it all the time but I am so grateful to all the wonderful members here and the universe of information people post. So happy to have found OF, and I am always so hungry for more posts on this forum.

 

No photos, because it’s all gone!

But tonight it was Gnocchi, Butter, a little garlic, a few chilli flakes, Black Pepper and Parmesan.

So simple, 5 minutes to make and it’s chuffing awesome. Really.

 

Latkes for the first night of Chanukah!

 

Taco Tuesday! Homemade carnitas with cilantro-lime rice, beans and load of chunky guacamole!

 

After a long day of fasting, these hospital crappy biscuit and sandwiches tasted pretty good.

 

Loving that domed dial!

 

Got the urge for red meat so I fried up a couple of eye of round steaks in butter and didn't bother with trimmings other than one slice of toast so I'd have more room for meat.
Picked up a couple of nice NY Strip steaks as well but these will be for tomorrow. Unless I get the urge again around mid night. Then I'll whip up some baked potatoes and green beans or peas to go with the steaks.

I remembered something a in-law liked to serve the other day. French cut green beans slow cooked with slivers of roasted ham and potatoes. Even better than i remembered it.
I take a small 1lb canned ham wrap airtight in aluminum foil and roast in the oven at 325 degrees F for at least three hours. I place a pie tin upside down on a baking sheet to partly insulate the bottom of the ham to avoid over cooking. Then after it cools it can be shaved razor thin for sandwiches or adding to various bean stews.

I also make my own cornbread with eggs , milk and plenty of melted butter added to the batter and baked in cast iron skillets. I always make two pans of corn bread, one for me and one for my best friends dog who is crazy about it. I sometimes bake three so my own dog can get her fair share.
All dogs love cornbread, and I expect the added butter makes it irresistible.

 

It was a cold day here in the PNW so decided to whip up a tomato curry served over cauliflower rice

 

How times have changed, daughter sent me some snaps from her office night out. In my day it was a couple of pints to many and a chippie on the way home





Haggis in filo pastry with a whisky jus, will always be a sauce in my book.


Well it has to be turkey,

 

Some light meal for sunday evening.
