BON APPÉTIT! What Are You Eating?


Strider

Recommended Posts

New year and no sign of the cooking for me to cease.

Starter: Couple glasses of cold, white wine. The White Rioja from last evening should do. A smoke of Blonde Maroc

Pan Fried Roast Daffy. Dauphinoise Potatoes. Carrots. Redcurrant/Cranberry/Quince Jellies. Not sure which one. 2012 Reserva Rioja "Definition"

Some cheeses and White Port 

Relax in front of the Woodburner and enjoy more smokes and tunes. Oh the joys of not over indulging last evening !

A very Happy New Year to everyone.
 
Wow, Passion Fruit Souffle, that sounds fantastic, CP.
 
Yesterday's boiled beef made a terrific soup today, upgraded with noodles and semolina dumplings.
 
After 4 weeks of total food debauchery (sweets, meat, alcohol) I'm looking forward to my daily diet. :blink:
(Alcohol on weekends only, almost no sweets, no eating after 4 pm on weekdays)
Next festive season: Carnival

Happy Food Year Led

Passion Fruit Souffle was a winner - It's a rare sight, Mrs CP in the Kitchen, but she pulled of a winner for sure

To be honest we didn't really debauched on food and drinks over the festive period. Hangovers for me on wine are rare and weed never makes me feel rough in the morning

Just had some smoked fish and salad which is par for the course for lunch. 4 dry days a week ( no weed or wine) but Mrs CP doesn't get home till after 5 so dinner will be @ 7 as usual

Happy Food Year to you too, CP.

Debauchery with alcohol means, that I drank a glass of wine or a digestiv every day over the festive season (for about 2 weeks). Usually we drink one bottle of wine on weekends - that's no rock'n roll lifestyle.

I arrive at home from work at 5.30-6 pm. But I turn into the Hulk when I'm hungry. To protect my environment, I eat my dinner at lunchtime :D
Today we visited a Turkish restaurant. Stuffed eggplant (Imam Bayildi) with rice and salad. 2 tangerines made the dessert.

I like smoked fish too.  I think, I like all kinds of fish dishes :fisheat:

Just finished the usual Sunday roast.
Charcoal Weber BBQ with mesquite wood chips that were soaked all day for that delicious smoky flavour. A mad leg of lamb. Was beautiful as always, and have lunch for tomorrow at work.

Nah mate, just the whole leg intact. A rosemary and garlic/salt/pepper goo rubbed all over it, and on it goes.

I like the butterflied legs or rolled beef on a charcoal spit, but only the father in law has that.

I have done a chook butterflied Portuguese style. Another cracking good winner right there old son.

I'm a big fan of the Tom Yam soup. What kind of mushrooms do you use?

Just finished making some Kielbasa for this afternoon’s games. Cook it with some water in a fry pan. Then slice it. Make a sauce from ketchup, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger and boil it. Then put all of it into a pan to cool. Slowly reheat after it gets cold and it’ll melt in your mouth.

Fish???

Beef Brisket, Yorkshire Pudding and Kale for tonight's dinner. A rich sauce from the brisket pan which is 2 hours in and a further 2 to go. A fine Reserva Rioja to accompany.

I'm shocked, cp. A culinary master such as yourself has not heard of Kielbasa? Must be called a different term in England.

And of course there was the "Kielbasa Queen" on the Howard Stern show.
