    Life, they say, is too short to stuff a mushroom, but despite that I am going to do some stuffed portobello to go with burgers in lieu of a bun.

    What are you stuffing them with, apart from the burgers?

    Breadcrumbs and cheese largely. Tasty enough, with additional tomato sauce. But not my idea of a really good dinner, which involves more integration of ingredients.
  • Not food but drink. Cucumber and mint in water over ice. Great on a warm day.

    Sounds good as part of a meal.
  • Cooking day.
    I'm making three loaves of multigrain bread.
    LKKspouse* is making Rosella Jam

    *LKKspouse has never been a Mrs. This seemed to be groundbreaking in 1974. We were interviewed on TalkBack radio, and her employer put her in the company phonebook as Mr, as they couldn't cope with Ms. and she (and a friend) wouldn't be Mrs or Miss.

    TIL what rosella jam is.

    I finally made a version of Foaming Draught's beef tagine, before the season for hearty beef stew has passed. Despite the august advice, I decided against purchasing a tagine, instead browning the spiced beef in a dutch oven and letting it go "low and slow" with veg and liquid in the oven. Would do again! The preserved lemon was just 'there' enough to give the sauce a lift, without being overly lemony or pickle-y.

    I can't think of cucumber water without hearing "Cucumber water for customer only!" being hollered at Jimmy McGill on his way into his boiler room office at the back of the nail salon.

  • @Clarence and I are agreed that this is yummy.

    Well today, in salute to VE day, the difficult war and post-war years, and to my mother whose birthday was 8th May ( born in 1909), I have eaten corned beef hash, using a tin dating from 2008 but none the worse for that.
  • This forum is for telling the sea-faring world what we're having for dinner, right? My turn tonight, in two stages.

    First, scallops on the shell grilled (broiled) in a garlic butter, tarragon, and brandy sauce. Chilled Gewürztraminer.

    Followed by beef meatballs with garlic and parsley, cheesy/oniony mash, peas, and gravy. A few degrees below room temp Malbec.

    Pray for me, sisters and brothers, that I get the timings right.
