Attempt to share the link to the ex dairy cow steak article to bypass the paywall. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/24/dining/beef-dairy-cows.html?unlocked_article_code=1.n00.Tckt.ePOl6CcxSzqk&smid=url-share

Steak from ex-dairy cows. More flavourful and sustainable than the grain fed young cows normally used for beef. Glad to see it could be starting to be a trend in the US too. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/24/dining/beef-dairy-cows.html

So tonight I had my batch cooking buddy over for dinner. She struggles to cook on weeknights and every 4 weeks we spend a weekend afternoon batch cooking a huge quantity of braised dishes such as bolognese sauce or coq au vin to fill up both our freezers with ready meals. Tonight instead I instructed her how to make an…

I would replace normal starches in meals such as rice and potatoes with lentils, beans or quinoa.

I am apparently a little out of practice with cooking. Chicken satay got a bit overcook because I used breasts when the recipe called for thighs and forgot to adjust the cooking time/temperature. Nasi impit turned out okay despite forgetting to line the mold with clingfilm. Satay sauce was good and had no issues. Chinese…

I haven't done much real cooking since getting home this week after visiting mom. Today I warmed up some celeriac soup I found in the freezer, made when that stuff was cheap in February and just pan fried the garnish of chorizo oil and fried rosemary tonight. Green salad used vinaigrette I still had in the fridge made…

@Adventurista I think Thai long grain sticky rice is stickier than sushi ice. I use it for desserts such as Thai mango and sticky rice or Chinese eight jewel rice pudding. It’s also my preference for making Malaysian/Indonesian compressed rice cubes that are served with satay.

@Adventurista I usually use sushi rice and prefer Nishiki brand grown in the US. My information might be out of date as my Japanese cookbook is the Shizuo Tsuji classic from the 80s. There they warn that most Japanese brands dust sushi rice with talc which requires careful and vigorous washing. Nishiki brand was the first…

Oatmeal risotto with sea bream, a crumble of air fried skin and a drizzle of salsa verde, accompanied with sea bream carpaccio using excess fish in the two fillet packet. I follow the FDA guidelines for freezing fish at low temperature to sterilize supermarket fish for parasites in order to serve fish raw.

@Veta2018 Your crockery is very pretty.

A homecooked meal.

Dinner on the Toronto/Heathrow service of Air Canada in Economy.

Last nursing home dinner with my mom before returning home to London tomorrow.

Tomorrow I will be returning to London after visiting mom in Canada. Was planning to visit the supermarket tonight to drag home stuff from childhood I can’t buy in England like strawberry and banana flavoured Jello and a jar of relish. Maybe Cheese Whizz if I can find it in a tube. Any other suggestions?

Nursing home dinner with mom.

@mjbnj0001 Savoury peanut sauces for sesame noodles, satay, gado gado and west african soups are applications where I find substituting some of the peanut butter with PB2 tastes acceptable.

We finally managed to think of dinner early enough to order an alternative meal of shrimp stir fry.

@Lietchi I forgot to add that if you eat a freshly made lasagna right away you need to let it sit for several hours so that the raw pasta softens before baking. I would normally assemble after lunchtime to bake in the evening, but you can leave one in the fridge overnight or use a recipe incorporating cooked lasagna sheets…

@Lietchi If you get tired of caprese, layering the mozzarella with cooked slices of beetroot, sliced orange and smoked fish is a good combination I ate once on vacation in Bologna.

Lasagna freezes well. I use a recipe that layers uncooked pasta sheets, bolognese sauce and mozzarella, ricotta or cottage cheese and topped with grated hard cheese. Put bolognese sauce down as the bottom layer. Freeze the raw lasagnas, thaw overnight and bake for an hour as normal for a quick and easy weeknight dinner…

Baked apple with lots of nutmeg and caramel sauce with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. MFP posts photos in a random order when I click multiple photos.

Dinner at mom’s retirement home. On previous visits we would go to restaurants occasionally but she has gotten too lethargic for that.

Nursing home dinner. I forgot to photograph dessert of lemon meringue tart.

I top quinoa with Thai stir fry cabbage for breakfast. Thai pork omelette is another favourite topping for quinoa. https://hot-thai-kitchen.com/cabbage-fish-sauce/ https://hot-thai-kitchen.com/thai-pork-omelette/

Another dinner with mom at her nursing home.

I do a low fat Basque burnt cheesecake. Google the recipe for the dairy to egg ratio but ignore admonishments that you need to use full fat double cream and cream cheese. I line a spring form pan that fits in the air fryer with silicon baking paper. Hand whisk a half and half mixture of low fat Philadelphia cream cheese,…

Another care home dinner with my mom. Chicken breast surprisingly moist.

If you struggle with peeling vegetables, I pop hard to peel items such as squash for a minute in the microwave where softening makes them easier to peel.

Dinner with mom at her care home. It wasn’t too bad for mass catering. It’s sweet that the hubby already says he misses my cooking.
