I had a BLT on whole wheat toast. I cut the tomato in half at the equator and took out all the seeds. I baked the bacon in the oven and didn't nibble on all of it before making the sandwich. I couldn't find an open jar of pickles, so I substituted some "Hot Mixed Vegetables In Oil, Antipasto...

I came across a recipe that included browned cream. It gave directions for making it. I wasn't interested in the recipe, so I closed the tab. I think it said that you make it by slowly heating heavy cream until the liquid is mostly gone and then it starts to brown and eventually you are left...

Some friends came over to commiserate with me and took me out for lupper at a Greek resto. I have eaten the food from there a number of times before. It was delivery. My first time there. It was the same locale as very nice Italian resto that didn't survive the pandemic. I had a psilokomeni...

What did other folks have? I had a bit of chocolate ice cream as an appetizer and reheated the last of the leftover resto spaghetti bolognese.

I just read this article and saved the recipe. I like the concept of third culture fusion cuisine. https://www.washingtonpost.com/food/2024/03/12/jerk-chow-mein-third-culture-jon-kung/ If someone wants a link to the recipe that gets past the paywall, send me a PM. I have a subscription and...

I hope you have a very Happy Birthday @TATTRAT.

I ordered mustard greens with my produce basket. I got them. In among the mustard greens, there were some very different looking leaves. Does anyone have any idea what they are? Here are three different views of the mystery leaves. Edited to add: The mystery leaves are about an inch in...

I wish you a very Happy Birthday and a wonderful year @Vinylhanger

Quark is a fresh cheese. It is similar to cream cheese, but usually with a lower fat content. According to Wikipedia, I know about it through Danish recipes, where it is called "kvark". Yield: curds, about 30% of the weight or volume of milk that you use. So, about 300 grams or 300 ml from...

Yesterday for supper I served abehjerne and a salad. Abehjerne is Danish for monkey brains. I'm guessing that a kid looked at the dish and said that it looked like monkey brains and the name stuck. The recipe I followed uses "pastaskruer" (pasta screws, I used fusilli), strips of cooked ham, and...

Wishing you a wonderful year and a very Happy Birthday @pictonguy

I have the impression that the cans of food in the US list the quantity by weight. Unfortunately, I can't really tell, since they usually say how many ounces. But, are those fluid ounces or avoirdupois ounces? It's easy to figure out in Canada, the quantities are listed in millilitres and...

Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday

I hope you have been having a very Happy Birthday

@obillo I hope you have a wonderful birthday.

I hope you have a wonderful birthday @salt and pepper.

We had meatloaf with brown basmati rice and a salad with homemade blue cheese dressing. We enjoyed it. There's enough leftovers for another meal of that.

I made Mongolian beef and served it with that mung bean side dish and brown basmati rice. I'm getting good at that recipe, it doesn't need much more tweaking. The mung bean dish was better without the fish sauce, but with some salt. It was even better when we added some tamari at the table. More...

Mussels are on special at the place where I get my produce basket: https://montreal.lufa.com/en/marketplace/product/organic-mussels-5-lb-8575 I have two concerns about buying this. DH hasn't had this and he is afraid it will squig him out. I'm looking for a recipe for mussels with pasta, but...

What did you have? We had merguez sausage and chicken roasted over some root veggies. The merguez was uncooked. The chicken was the last of the roast chicken. The veggies were fartichokes, rutabugger, celery, celeriac, carrots, onion, and garlic. There were also two, quartered portobello...

Have a wonderful, Happy Birthday @CharlieD

Happy Birthday @luckytrim I wish you a wonderful day. We miss you here.

Tonight for supper I made an easy dish I learned from a video: Pasta with Broccoli and Sausage (Classic Italian Cooking) | Kenji's Cooking Show. I made it once before. It's really yummy. I used this recipe from Chef John to make the bulk Italian sausage. I just used store bought ground pork...

Since I had a bunch of chicken leftover from New Year's Eve supper, we had hot chicken sandwiches. I served them with leftover coleslaw and roast sunroots (AKA fartichokes/Jerusalem artichokes). I hadn't used that wholegrain wheat bread to make hot chicken with before and the slices were quite...

I was too tired to cook supper, so we ordered out. It was submarine style sandwiches. It was okay. But, dessert, a few hours later, was very good. It was store bought vanilla ice cream with fudge sauce and sliced almonds. It's a very easy fudge sauce, so I put the recipe here...
