You just reminded me that I have two little chicons left in my vegetable drawer. I think they will go fine with the tête de veau tonight.

Wraps. Mini tortillas. I have some 'less than 5%' fat pork mince in a marinade made from oregano, minced garlic, minced ginger, cinnamon, finely chopped red chillies, and vinegar. Going to cook it down with some tomato puree, peppers and onion. Simple but yummy piled into mini wraps with salad leaves and topped with something or other...

Out of town company arriving. Some of them I have never met. Siblings of my friend from Miami Beach who is celebrating her 50th birthday. Some of them have never had crawfish before so we are going to a place that specializes in serving tabletops spread out with boiled crawfish (and the accompaniments).
It will be interesting to see how they approach eating the crawfish for the first time. It can be rather amusing. But, we will be gracious hosts and assist them.
(Sorry Bixa)

I don't think I've ever had crawfish (écrevisse in French) though there are species up here. They sound good.

*snork!*
LaGatta, they are absolutely heavenly, a different texture from shrimp & the flavor is simply more interesting -- sort of a sweeter flesh.

Haha good comeback Rikita.
Those two plates look appetizing K2 .
I am having spicy spatchcock poussin with lentil and spinach dahl. Good warming food much needed after several soaking wind blown outings to make sure horses are ok and coping with Storm Dennis.

as a starter i had an artichoke, first time i ever made that (though i sometimes bought some artichokes in brine before), so no idea if it was done correctly, but it tasted nice. after that, i had beetroot cooked with wine and yoghurt, and some bread. and for dessert a little bit of chocolate.

Beautiful plates of food, Kerouac.
What a deliciously civilized meal, Lugg! Is your weather calming down?
You're eating quite elegantly, Rikita!
Tonight I'll be eating the rest of the bulgar I made last night -- saute the bulgur & a nice amount of minced garlic & minced fresh sage leaves in olive oil, then pour in boiling water, cover tightly & steam until tender. It sounds very plain, but tastes lovely. Last night I had it with eggplant & with a squash, bell pepper, carrot mélange. I have several vegetables on hand, but don't know what I'll fix for tonight.

looking around the kitchen, there is an open jar of sweet corn and some halloumi in the refrigerator, and i have a parsnip and some carrots that should be eaten soon, so i think i will fry all of this together and see what it tastes like ...

I had frozen kefta balls with frozen leek-potato-carrot pucks after a passage in a frying pan with olive oil and butter.

I didn't feel like cooking so I bought a baguette and made a plate of pâté forestière, goat cheese and cured Spanish ham, with butter and green onions. It was quite suitable.

I like that sort of supper as well. First supper from Picard?

Post by kerouac2 on Feb 27, 2020 6:30:35 GMT
The previous one was a mixture of Picard (kefta) and Monoprix (vegetable pucks).

So you can play hockey with the pucks, then thaw them and eat them.
Well, in the countryside in Canada, young enthusiasts used "meadow muffins"...

Spag bol for me tonight, just simmering on the hob now. It is not authentic cos I have added lots of chillies as well as using turkey breast mince.

Post by lagatta on Mar 1, 2020 1:58:47 GMT
Is (British) spag bol ever authentic? And does it matter - I think not! I also have turkey meat stripped from bones (for making stock) and will certainly use it. I'm sure it will be fine and warm up your tummy, as well as any other tummies present.
I did give some of the meat to Livia, who was very happy.

Hope Livia enjoyed her turkey lucky girl. I had simmered white beans with pork belly. that's a lovely meal indeed. Salted or sweet or neither. ? I am a salted fan. I really wanted a Sunday roast but as I don't have a group to cook for tonight its a no go ... so having a steak with creamed spinach and Yorkshire pud instead.
