Mmm yum! Now I want pancakes too.

But I do have leftover cake from yesterday, at least.

How on Earth were there leftovers of that!

Got back from a four day, bender, a long boys weekend away. After eating too much crap and drinking way too much, I needed some healthy eats and some roughage.

Made my wife and daughter a really big stirfry. I added some meatballs that were made out of venison that I had in the freezer.

Delicious.

It was some of the leftovers, I made an omelette and I added a little bit of cheese.

You know, I once had a dream I just showed up to your house because you had made a comment just like the one above. Sooooo…

Don’t threaten me with a good thing.
The mascarpone and the blueberries are gone by now though.

A good brunch is hard to beat.

Air fried blackened chicken

Marinated (tandoori style)chicken thighs and chicken breast overnight and now I can put four chicken breasts cooked sous vide and five lunch portions of chicken thighs cooked gyros style in a baking tin, in the freezer.

Air fried blackened chicken

Air fried chicken ON A FUCKIN ELVIS PLATE!! That’s got to increase the flavor by at least 2-3x!

Not sure what it is, but it looks delicious

You're right but I don't know how to call it in English. lol

Borek, Burek or Byrek is a family of pastries or pies found in the Balkans, Middle East and Central Asia. It's made with a very thin flaky dough (from 12 to 18,) like filo for example, with a variety of fillings like; tomatoes, onions and minced meat. Spinach, or leak, with cheese, gjize (similar to ricotta but more compact and salted), eggs, milk etc.

It's sooo good.

 

[CuriousRick]

Sounds very good!

Yummy dinner yesterday:

And I have more of those yummy brussel sprouts left over for lunch today but I haven’t quite decided what to have with them yet.

 

[Primalex]

Field salad with buttermilk-lemon dressing, baked vegetables (carrots, beetroot) with baked feta, butter bean puree, crushed hazelnut topping and balsamic cream with sauteed red onions

 

[Orchidea73]

Beans with pasterma (dry meat)

We have been leaning into winter lately:

Danish pork roast with cream sauce, jelly, brussel sprouts and croquettes.

Swedish Prinskorv with fried egg and steamed kale. Trying out two new types of prinskorv - that’s why they don’t look the same.

Cauliflower soup with pancetta and soft boiled eggs.


Then we found this:

And of course had to try them:

North Texas Red inspired (didn’t have any bird’s eye chilis nor piri-piri) beef chili, black bean chili, pico de gallo, chopped white onion and cilantro.
