A side salad made by my favorite local cafe' (I order a big one and it lasts us through at least 3 meals, usually), garlic toast quickly made with the O'Dough's brand vegan g/f bread topped with earth balance brand soy free buttery spread and lots of garlic powder, then placed under the broiler for a couple minutes, and a plant-based ricotta style mushroom and tomato bake, compliments of the Mama Sezz food delivery thingy.

Espresso
Steak & chips
Hot buttered rum

@Friday you eat the best food

Ha! Pot? Kettle. :p

I did make the butter chicken... I’ve been trying to replicate my fave Indian restaurant for about a decade, now :facepalm: Almoooooost there! Oh darn. More experimenting needed. (Theirs wasn’t traditional to start with, but highly addictive... the owner was goin to show me as a present to my husband... but sadly he had a heart attack. The owner. If my then husband had had a heart attack... well... :whistling: )

Do you have a favorite cookbook, website or chef you follow?

Chefs - Whomever is in my kitchen having a beer with me! Or glass of wine. Seriously. Absolute best way to cook, and learn, is in company having fun. Everyone does things different, so it’s always a wicked good time.

Books -
Dead Link Removed. Hands down. Italian bible. 1500p, avg of 3 recipes per page, and most 5 ingredients or less. Love. It. (There are a few mother-in-law is coming to visit nightmare recipes with a million steps and ingredients, but most are wham bam thank you ma’am! Simple, fresh, amazing.) When I first came across it, the English translation was a couple hundred bucks. Now it’s only $35. You wouldn’t THINK it would be easy to lose a book twice as thick as most dictionaries, and bright red to boot, but I’ve managed it more times than I care to count.

Ottolenghi ...all of ‘em! Complicated, for the most part, but all-is-right-in-the-world eye roll and knee melting. I can’t remember if I started with Plenty or Jerusalem, but I use both, a lot.

Dead Link Removed... I really only make 1 bread from this book, although they’re all good (and it needs 2 cast iron Dutch oven pot things of unusual size ...IE I’ve only ever found them on amazon). So it’s something I do once or twice a week at home, but never -rarely- when I’m out and about. Which is most of the time, these days. My dad’s the baker in the family. I do pizza/flatbread (which is cooking more than baking), but I’d never have started on bread if the dairy allergy hadn’t kicked in.

I had homemade chili and grape-flavored water to drink.

Chicken breasts with fries & pretty awesome herbal sauce that's half mayo/half yoghurt, oregano, and then the awesomeness of herbs I fail to ID.

Thanks, @Friday!!

Earlier I had a couple of White Castle cheeseburgers a few fries and a Dr. Pepper.

Dinner was stuffed cabbage (frozen, from the last batch I made) with mashed potatoes and a coke.

I made a batch of chocolate chip cookies for dessert.

I had pizza from Dominos. It was half price on their site! So ? good! (I can't turn underline off, either.)
