What's cookin', good lookin'?

I've been experimenting with taquitos lately. The end result is probably not something anyone who actually cooks Mexican food would call a taquito, but they're nice anyway. I blend together chicken mince, red onion, some spices (whatever's in the cupboard, really), and some cheese and then roll the mix in little tortillas and bake 'em. Served with sour cream and shredded iceberg lettuce. Yummy.

Poached eggs this morning, in my fancypants new silicone cup thingies.

First time out, I over did them though, cooked to firm. Oh well. Further experimenting will be done over the next fortnight before I cook them for someone else.

Today was one of those days where I'm glad I planned semi-comfort food for dinner.... and was very happy to realize there was still beer in the fridge.

Because ye.gods.

Slow cooker BBQ chicken
Homemade cornbread
Salad greens
Lemon potato salad*
Fudge swirl ice cream

*I tried a new potato salad recipe I found online, and while it only got a 1 out of 5 thumbs up from the kids, I am newly in love. Red potatoes, a few scallions, lemon/olive oil/dill dressing, tossed with a spinach chiffonade. It was good last night, but mellowed in the fridge overnight and ended up being this bright, summery, lightweight, perfect accompaniment to the chicken.

Halibut cheeks with couscous...and what's even better is that I'm not doing the cooking, only sitting there admiring the cook.

 

[Chiara_searches]

Last night was clams in chorizo and tequila sauce, roasted duck and corn. And I still got to just sit there and just admire the cook. Okay, so I also made triple chocolate brownies.

Tonight it's only leftovers because the cook is off busy volunteering.

I'm really enjoying a man who can cook a bit of heaven every night...but I'm starting to fear my curves becoming fuller curves.

When I am away for long I get cravings for Mcfood.

After 5 days of the freshest tasting food in Dublin, my body started screaming for junk food. I know he thought I was mental, but I really was curious to see how it differed from the US version anyway.
