@mjbnj0001 - I actually used it as a sprinkle on top of the pasta in place of Parmesan cheese. 😇

Thai dinner party for 7 at my place. We started with nam priks. It is customary to only serve one dip, but the hubby thought that my original plan for nam prik makua (eggplant with a lot of roast chilli that I tested out last weekend) would be too demandingly fiery for a lot of people so I also served beginners nam prik ong (pork and tomato with a little dried chilli). Main was gai yang, pomelo salad and sticky rice. Dessert was Thai tea salted creme brulee whose recipe I tried out last weekend.

made a vat of Vegetable soup!

A smorgasbord of tomato , zucchini, beans, bell peppers, shitake, scallions, garlic, sweet pea greens…

acpgee

Breakfast of leftover nam prik from last night's dinner party. Whipped up a batch of nam prik goon sod because the leftover dip to vegetable ratio was a little low.

acpgee

Kept dinner very simple with some tomato sauce and turkey meatballs found in the freezer. The braised red cabbage was also found in the freezer from a batch cooking session.

Peanut stew. It has sweet potato, collards, bell pepper, chickpea, tomato and jalapeño. Nice and spicy and rich!

@100_Rabbits 😋!! I forgot how much I love peanut stew! Adding back into the menu next week! That looks great.. I like it spicy too. Do you use ginger in yours?

Yum!

Chicken quinoa veg soup for lunch.

acpgee

Tuna tartare stack (tuna & onion, avocado & mayo, beetroot, pickle and tamarind) scooped up with microwaved poppadoms, followed by clean out the cupboard veggie soup. One of my favourite ways to make a flavourful veggie soup when you don't have stock is to throw in a good dollop of pesto into each bowl. This one was dried peas, dried mung beans, carrot, a mushroom stock cube, caramelized onion (which I keep in the freezer) and leftover pesto we had in the freezer.

I was lazy today lol. Refried bean and cheese burrito with yellow rice. I used black and pinto beans and a bunch of jalapeno, so it was actually really tasty.

Peanuts, …. mmmm! Going to have to try a batch.

We ate at Nobu last week because hubby was so grateful that I filed his income tax return a couple of months ago he offered to take to any expensive restaurant of my choosing. It took me a while to choose Nobu. Tonight I tried to imitate a signature salad flavoured with truffle oil, dry miso, deep fried shallots and parmesan. Second course was pork cappelletti and vodka sauce, both pulled out of the freezer.

acpgee

Cheese soufflee and the homemade Nobu-style salad but I forgot to add the fried scallion. It was missing a crunchy element. I also tried a recipe for a Nobu-style roast cauliflower marinade in miso/mirin/yuzu but hubby thought it was horrible, mostly because he likes cauliflower boiled to a mush and smothered in cheese sauce, I think.

I was recruited by my daughter to bake up a couple flavored dipping breads for a theme party this weekend, following along on a pesto ring I made this past holiday season. Results below. One is a basil wreath (not pesto, but basil-garlic infused oil plus minced basil), the other a rosemary-garlic wreath with garlic infused oil. Shaping is a little wonky, plus I made the rosemay a little more open to be able to tell it from the basil (it unwound a little anyway, exposing some rosemary to view anyway). More practice will make better. They made the house pretty fragrant this morning. My bread dough was my typical process.

Had a little time to cook today, being Saturday. Air fryer chicken wings, air fryer roast potatoes, crudites with ranch, lefftover braised red cabbage warmed up with some leftover beetroot.

I added this recipe to my fit pal because I make it often. Vegan Kielbasa with Farro and Apples 😃I put fermented sauerkraut in it which adds a nice healthy crunch!

acpgee

Surprise drop in dinner guest on a Monday night. Made extra roast potato, an extra small side of roast cherry tomato and stretched 4 lamb chops and a bag of spinach to three people.

acpgee

Lamb shoulder satay following a goat satay recipe. Quick pickles, cucumber salad with store bought Japanese sesame dressing, Thai cabbage and fish sauce stir fry.

100_Rabbits

Chinese eggplant with minced pork. Had it with steamed silken tofu and broccoli.

acpgee

A Nobu signature salad but made with baby gem instead of spinach and store bought fried shallot instead of finely shredded fried leek as a starter. Other salad ingredients were truffle oil viniagrette, grated parmesan, and dry miso powder. The Nobu signature miso black code replicated with cheaper haddock and stir fried courgette with rice.

Saw a good deal at the grocery today for fresh-caught Atlantic cod. So … oven-baked breaded cod on tomato trivets, smashed boiled baby potatoes (assortment pack), and savory roast brussels sprouts. The sprouts may have gotten a minute or two too much time in the oven, they turn fast.

Our Muslim neighbours gifted us a meal in celebration of Eid. I guess the next couple of times I bake a focaccia I should gift them an extra one.

I have old college friends from Amsterdam visiting this weekend. Dinner tonight at my place for all of us. Starter of salmon tartaar with beetroot and avocado scooped with microwaved poppadoms. Main of Txuleton steak, roast potatoes and air fried Turkish peppers. Sauces were seaweed and stilton butters, and Peruvian aji verdi. Dessert was low fat burnt basque cheesecake.

One of our visitors from Amsterdam is a bit of a foodie so we have been touring the great cheap eats close to East London. Friday night we went to the iconic, and rowdy Punjabi restaurant Tayyabs where a copious dinner for four came to £91 including tip.

On Sunday morning we had dim sum for brunch in Chinatown. Lunch for 3 including tip was £77.

After brunch, dessert was a relative splurge at £17 for 3 because the Amsterdam foodie wanted to find a Japanese bakery for fresh mochi. This was a revelation for me, having only previously eaten the factory made stuff which is a totally different texture.

Last of the meals out with our foodie guests from Amsterdam. We were touring the good cheap eats restaurants in the neighbourhood. We went to iconic Mangal1 in Dalston for Turkish BBQ where dinner for 4 including tip was £100.
