Earl Grey-Lavender tea. Baguette side 1: butter, peach-raspberry-champagne jam. Baguette side 2: ricotta cheese, pear butter.

For tonight's dinner I made seafood curry -- sea scallops, shrimp, golden bell peppers, green beans, sweet onions, garlic, cumin, cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt, paprika, tow types of curry (red and yellow), Thia seasonings, and coconut milk and I served it over Jasmine rice.

I made the bowl in my pottery class.

I left this one in the pot a little too long. Still tasty, though.

Lentil soup with this recipe cannelle-vanille.blogspot.com/2011/01/my-comfort-food.html

Will recreate with different lentils, proper chorizo and more spices.

this is what happens when you're unable to resist temptation and against all common sense / warning / good breeding pull the trigger on a can of condensed milk that has just spent 3 hours in boiling water

My fourth risotto! The first one made using carnaroli rice. This was quite a successful risotto. Think I've got the hang of managing the addition of the stock, and the timing of the addition of the food to the rice. Less stressful, certainly, than the first time round.

p.s. I've also made this with asparagus.

My chicken pepian dinner. One of those cases where the dish tastes way better than it looks.

(It's chicken breast covered in a "pepian" sauce made of pumpkin seeds, tomatillos, poblano, etc. The side dish is a brown rice and black bean pilaf).

Stuffing: sage sausage, onion, fennel, rosemary, garlic.

Had a go at making Chinese-style Chicken for my tea. A bit too much Oyster Sauce, but apart from that, superb! 😋

Served with Plain White Rice, Sesame Seeds and chopped Spring Onions

Fancy brown bag lunch.

I had most of the ingredients in the fridge and pantry already (Frozen shrimp is seriously the most awesome invention). Just bought the crab meat for extra oceany goodness. You can't see most of the Romaine because I ate a lot of it already. Mmm.. anchovy dressing.

Everyone cleaned their plate.

swiss roll and jammmm...

Steph made such a phenomenal meal. The pork rib roast has perfect from the overnight brining and the crust was superb. Also, the "chennel" relish was such an interesting balance to the pork. I was stuffed and so happy.
