What Did You Eat And Drink Last?

[Friday]

Conference pear - can' seem to get enough of em lately

If you like Bleu cheese? Pizza crust or flat bread brushed with olive oil, pear slices, sprinkle over crumbles of cheese, bacon bits optional, and run under your broiler -or pop in the toaster oven, or nip into a hot bbq- for a few minutes. Voila! Super quick & easy.

Last night was clean out the fridge/leftovers night.....so far today, lots of lemon H20, herbal infusion with red clover and wild plantain, a little apple juice, and a frozen banana smoothie with two big handfuls of spinach, a spoon full of peanut butter, some dairy-free chocolate chips, a little cacao powder, enough water to get the blender going, and a few drops of vanilla extract. Cheers!

Blue cheese n pears go lovely together for sure :-) Not tried on flat bread before sounds good. Btw what does broiling mean?
Ta @Friday

Really enjoyed my food today and it were healthy an all.
Breakfast of eggs, mackeral, cherry tomatoes on the vine, grilled courgette antipasti with most of the oil patted off, fiery sweet beetroot and a teaspoon of Hollandaise sauce on the eggs. It was lovely

And I've bought meself a spiraliser and did a weightwatchers recipe for dinner
Meatballs n courgetti- pork mince, fennel seeds n lemon zest in the Meatballs and a sauce of tomatoes n balsamic n chilli

And it was my first time trying courgetti. Good enough for me. I shall try different veggies n different ways of cooking it.

Also, really love the idea of flavouring different kinds of Meatballs, I was really quite impressed with them. I shall defo try out some other weightwatchers recipes as I'm liking getting smaller.
Happy dayz

Served giant spinach leaves filled with spinach hummus, juice pulp falafel balls, kalamata olives, and dijon mustard for the appetizer and tried a new salad tonight...a warm salad for a change. Chopped and roasted broccoli rabe and sweet potatoes, cubed. Topped the bitter flavored rabe with the sweet potatoes and drizzled it with an even sweeter maple syrup/honey/cinnamon/dijon vinaigrette. Definitely a do-over.

Spiralizers are so much fun, @Bearlinda ! Zoodles (zucchini), coodles (cucumber), boodles (beets), and caroodles (carrots) have been some of my faves. lol I like to add them to salads as well as top them with favorite sauces and such. Cashew alfredo sauce with mushrooms and broccoli served over the zoodles are tied in first place with garden fresh tomato/spaghetti sauce and spicy walnut 'eatballs' as my favorites, so far. Happy experimenting!

Btw what does broiling mean?

On the top shelf of the oven, right under the element (gas flame or electric) turned up highest setting.

Most of our ovens have 2 elements, top & bottom, and a ‘broiler’ setting... which only turns on one element at its highest (generally about 550F 285C)

It’s been awhile since I’ve been in an English kitchen... What’s it called in Queen’s English?

:facepalm: I almost forgot!

Gyoza & Espresso for the win.

Hellooooooo ginger :D

What’s it called in Queen’s English?

Grilling :-)

 

[Friday]

Aha! :)

For us grill = BBQ outside, or a stove top thing, inside.

 

[Teasel]

How do you grill on the stove top? Is that like frying?

 

[Friday]

There are special cast iron grill-pans ( Dead Link Removed ) or grill-griddles with raised bars for electric or gas stoves ( https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/artisanal-kitchen-supply-reg-pre-seasoned-cast-iron-double-burner-grill-griddle-in-black/1045760891?Keyword=grill pan ), and cast iron grates you put the food directly on them, that go over the flames on gas stoves instead of cast iron pot/pan holders, but those tend to get awful smoky and aren’t popular for people without jet engines powering their fans ;)

Weirdly... grilled cheese sandwiches are fried/sautéed in a normal/flat pan? :confused:

Unless you’re like me and just throw them in the panini press. ;)

In japan, some of our indoor dining tables came with a grill / wood fired bbq in the center of them. That’s indoor grilling, too. Unless you put a flat surface on top of the grill to fry/griddle. (Backwards of how we use our stove tops in the states). And kept your legs warm in winter! But I haven’t seen them over here.
