What have you been eating?

[Lady Grey]

Rosemary bread is so nice!


It was so hot here today, so we had caesar salad for tea.

[DeepCandle Games]

not sure where you are but in good ol australia its been quite the opposite

[Lady Grey]

Really? We're led to believe the weather in Australia is gorgeous!
We're in Manchester, England, shockingly

[DeepCandle Games]

well i like the cold and rain anyway so it doesn't bother me atleast, but most other areas of australia are pretty sunny and hot

[Jubal]

It's been pretty nice here.

Had a post-conference barbeque last night at which I ate and drank a lot (certainly by my standards and considering my low alcohol tolerance!)

I'm thinking I'll be going for pasta tonight, something simple given how absurdly tired I am.

I think I got my first sunburn of the year today.
I ate food with dead animal and cheese, I'm taking a break from the vegan life.

Dead animals are the best


On my end, the last beer of Poland before I return to the US... le sad!

Some of the first cooking experiments in the new house!

A first khachapuri for the new place:



...and then some dumplings (filled with a mix of tomatoes, onion, garlic, and walnuts). The first steaming set are fresh ones, the browned ones have been re-heated by frying them (which was a considerable improvement, especially given my rather inadequate dough-making skills). The dough/style of dumpling was loosely based on a recipe for khinkali, but with a very different filling and made so inadequately they a) don't deserve the name and b) need a knife and fork to eat, which the internet assures me is definitely the wrong way to eat khinkali!

Burger and fries for lunch and microwaved hotdogs for dinner. I've got too much going on to cook anything.

[Jubal]

Guess as so much of my day and work is at my desk I find cooking useful to get up and do something!

[Clockwork]

Dudes I forgot to share my latest, greatest invention!


I made some halloumi at home so I've been trying to find great uses for it and I came up with this: fry halloumi and chorizo in a pan, with the cheesy/chorizo'y oil, fry an egg and put all that in a sandwich. Such a great breakfast.

[Pentagathus]

Well that makes me wish I had halloumi and chorizo in my fridge.

I just made late evening khachapuri, was out working across suppertime. Downside of tutoring, evening work :/

[Koobazaur]

Just baked some bread, yeee. Pretty basic, little undersalted, but at least I got the process down again. I can start experimenting with ingredients now

edit: srsly, this forum should scale images to max page width 

[Jubal]

Manually scaled it - yes we need to do that, we haven't really had functioning tech support on this site for some time, hopefully we'll get some improvements in the next month or so. It's just Glaurung and I covering the staffing work at the moment so we're a tad stretched.

I made a good rosemary, walnut & sea salt mokhrakuli khachapuri tonight - I overdid the salt but other than that it was a really nice meal.
