There is nothing modest about champagne ;)

Roast Lamb dinner with all the trimmings, fruit cider and lots and lots of chocolate eggs mmmmm

Southern Italian cuisine today: orecchiette pasta (typical of Apulia) and pastiera cake (Naples). I received an Easter chocolate egg from my mum but I have not already eaten it, only opened it and didn't like the surprise. Childish? Me?? Never!  :-D

I don't even wanna think about my cholesterol (or blood sugar or anything).  :roll:

At least I'll try to eat something "decent" for breakfast & lunch, after that is something different...  :o

Did a "Lomo Saltado", a typical Peruvian meal, for lunch before the World Cup final

I did something similar to this yesterday, minus the beef. It's my Chilean friends recipe for what he calls his chilie. Had the hardest time finding coriander here! Which is so very odd to me. I eventually tracked it down, after searching loads of shops and St Josephs market, in a French supermarket.

He tells me that every South American country has it's own version, so it was nice seeing yours :)

True.. I remember when I was a teenager and we went on a school trip to Ecuador. The moment we crossed the border I went to the restaurant and looked for this "Lomo Saltado"... and the taste was not as good as in Peru! :P Didn't know Chile had something similar. What I know for a fact is that there are different variants of cebiche (fish marinated with lemons, chili, onions and salt) along the south american coastline. This is an unbelievable meal and a must-to eat (at least) once in your life ;)

Hahaha nothing is ever as good as when you have it at home. I haven't heard about the second dish, I'll ask my neighbours about it and see what all the fuss is about :) So weird again that you responded to this today and I had actually been eating chilli again for lunch   :D

I'm trying to get up the courage to eat some of the oxtongue I prepared yesterday.  I've had pressed tongue before and liked it, in restaurants and from the deli.  Just like steak, it's just muscle.

But this is a wee bit personal because it used to say moo to me.

All oxtongues used to say moo, I know that.

The recipe book is very helpful.  It features a lot of suitable recipes.

There's this ethic of honouring every bit of an animal instead of wasting it, to which I generally subscribe, and to which we've subscribed to a T in this case.

And by the way, here's a joke:

A man couldn't make up his mind what to have when out at a restaurant, so the waiter said, "We have very lovely oxtongue today."

The man replied, "Yeuch, I'm not going to eat something someone else has had in their mouth!"

The waiter asked, "Would you like a nice fresh egg?"  :angel

I had a look at that yesterday and started salivating, so I made it for dinner tonight.  It tasted fabulous!  Thanks for the recipe.  That one's going in the repertoire.  :smth023

We used Painted Mountain Corn, which we grow ourselves - it's an heirloom variety as used by native Americans before America was "discovered"...

Yesterday:  Steak sandwiches (own beef which never left the property) on home-baked rye/sunflower bread with salad greens grown in the garden, and with caramelised onions, capsicum and mushrooms.

Today's lunch is likely to be leftovers from last night, which was gozleme (Turkish feta/spinach pockets which we make with buckets of the five-colour-silverbeet which grows like mad here, and local stoneground flour) with a side of orange/fennel/radish/mint salad (of which we grew everything but the oranges)... and since it's Sunday I'm likely to attach cherry clafoutis for dessert (own cherries, milk from a friend with a cow, free-range eggs we bartered for with our honey, plus a little conventional flour and flaked almonds).  :yum:

And no, it wasn't this good before we tree-changed and started growing our own things, and having more time to prepare meals...

Mmmmhh, yummy! :cool  Did you have sour cream with that, @MeltingMan?

I had leftover Paella that our Spanish guest cooked for us the other night.  With half a glass of red wine.  It seems I'm taking up drinking rather late in life, but Paella and wine actually do go together even better than a cheese board does... We can now officially consider a proper Spanish Paella a gateway drug!  :angel

No, but I know the recipe with chicken strips and sour cream. The day before yesterday I tried it with herbal quark, but I think the cooked potatoes taste even better on their own. 🥔 (without the shell, of course).

Are you growing your own potatoes - or getting them somewhere that has really fresh potatoes?  Because when we eat our own potatoes, we feel like that - no particular accompaniment required - it's mostly the shop potatoes that we like to have with other things (z.B. Bratkartoffeln mit Salami, Zwiebeln, Kümmel, Eiern und Käse, Beilage Salat :yum:).

I like quark, and I think it's funny that it's the namesake of a subatomic particle!  :lol:

We're still making @dsanchez's Arroz Chaufa from this thread on a regular basis and highly recommend it to others!

There is (still) a dealer on site who sells excellent food and wines. There I got 2kg of raclette potatoes. Relatively small, but waxy, which is important. 👌🏻

Talking of Raclette, that's what I had today (my sis had leftovers from New Year's Eve)! :smth023

Are these potatoes supposed to go with Raclette cheese, like in that Swiss recipe?  See https://cheese.com/fromage-a-raclette/ ...imagine that, a whole website devoted to cheese, hooray!  :yum: :yum: :yum:

Today we're going to have lunch at the Denmark Bakery, who make wonderful pies, and we're bringing home sourdough ryebread for subsequent lunches (I've not yet done much sourdough baking myself; I cheat and use a breadmaker, but one day...).  The lunch will be balanced by a coastal hike so we don't turn into Michelin men.  :angel

Glad you like it! It's very tasty and easy to make, I think! There's another one I prepare sometimes, it's called Papa a la Huancaina, much easier to cook but the problem is I usually need to travel to Vienna to get the main ingredient: aji amarillo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsicum_baccatum#/media/File:Aj%C3%AD_peruano.jpg). All the rest is easy to find and preparation is just a few minutes if you have a mixer:

Last night, I made gozleme, which I photographed previously - it looks like this:

(https://live.staticflickr.com/4822/44639129820_c6cf802e3c_b.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/2b1Bd6j)

It's got feta cheese, ground 4-colour peppercorns and rainbow chard (5-colour silverbeet) in it.  We grow the silverbeet ourselves and it looks like this:

(https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.growjoy.com%2Fstore%2Fpc%2Fcatalog%2Ffive_color_silverbeet_swiss_chard_plant_1349_detail.jpg&f=1&nofb=1)

I always make extra, because they're great cold for lunch too, or re-heated in the oven (not the microwave!!!...it makes everything mushy!).

So that's what we had for lunch on our hike.  And I had an iced coffee just beforehand - which always makes me walk faster! :)
