Gives support to my contention that most people overcook sweet corn. It doesn't take much.

So far we have had:
Pita with tuna, cucumber and mint youghurt sauce.
Meatballs and pasta with ketchup.

I'm making Pitas tomorrow with minced meat and onions, and yoghurt sauce.

OMG! The ketchup on pasta cracks me up! I am SO gonna try that.

I can handle the ketchup on the meatballs but the pasta????

The previous thread went over 5,000 posts, so here's a new thread for our culinary explorations.

We're having salmon and lemon risotto today.

Wait this might be a thread I can really dig my spork into *watching!*

That's seems to me Chef Ramsey worthy

Haha, I know! It’s a thing here, especially when served to kids. Even restaurants often ask if you want ketchup with your pasta meal.
We never let the kids have it when having a pasta with sauce, but their grandmother would serve it like my daughter did.
I’ve come to accept it and in some kind of ironic way even like it, just hoping the Italian ancestry doesn’t haunt us.

I had elbow macaroni with ketchup, a bit of butter and black pepper as recently as last night. Got home late, hungry, cranky, needed food, fridge and freezer echoingly empty of anything that cooks fast, so it was time to whip out the classic from the student years.

It was pretty nice for a change. Lots of memories.

As usual, absolutely drool worthy. Your food always looks so inviting.

Yup, elbow macaroni it was.

Pite (though in Albania they call this Kulac, pite is a bit different) with meat, onions, black pepper.
Accompanied with yoghurt sauce, which I didn't take a pic of because I hadn't prepared it yet.
These were the best I've made. The dough was fantastic.

Boneless pork chops and rice w/ green beans (from slow cooker)

Thinking about making mushroom pizza with chanterelles and porcini. One way or other the mushrooms need to be used today or tomorrow at the latest. Pizza might be nice.

Or flammkuchen. It’s really good with mushrooms.

Flammkuchen is so good. Might have to look into this.

The mushrooms will survive until tomorrow, I ended up going out so no cooking today.

 

[seela]

It ended up being a weird mix between flammkuxhen and poor pizza. Tasted good either way. I left it too thick and baking it was tricky.

It was the sort of dish where I chucked in things that needed to be used, so the sauce ended up being a mix of créme fraîche and Greek yogurt, some spring onion needed to be used so that’s there and the same was with most of the mushrooms - the mushies needed to be eaten stat.

Chanterelles and wood hedgehogs, because I found more wood hedgehogs today. No porcini like I planned yesterday, because I ate them on top of my midnight snack sandwich when I got home last night.

 

[Orchidea73]

Carbonara today. Tomorrow it's barbecue time.
