Entry 420 - Thursday Foodblogday
So, I am not planning a dinner at all! I was over at Mytholders on Sat and somehow it worked around to Fotalad agreeing to cook dinner for me. As long as I made bread and butter pudding (and custard?!) for the dessert.
When he first talked about it, it was going to be steak or mince and oven chips. I'm not sure if this is still the case or not. His household and girlf (Neid) are all being very closed mouthed about what he has planned. I do know that he has got plans though.
Via text on Tuesday:
"I have my courses picked kinda. I'm going for traditional Cork food with no frills :) Irish people were always too poor to afford frills and also I can't cook :)
Via phone call with Neid, Wednesday afternoon (yest):
He has all his ingredients ready!
Conversation with Mytholder, last night:
Mytholder: See you tomorrow for dinner.
Me: Hey, do you know what Fotalad is cooking? No one will tell me.
Mytholder: Bye!
*Cue sound of door being shut in my face*
Anyhoo, I'm looking forward to it. Fotalad texted me earlier on in the week to check if there is anything I won't eat. Answer: no brussel sprouts please. Although, I'd probably eat *one*, to be polite. It has also been confirmed that I will definitely not be served pigs trotters (crubins, apparently pronounced crew-beans). Even though they are a traditional Cork dish. I am not displeased by this.
So, I'll be cooking good old bread and butter pudding, except for how I prob won't put butter in it (I don't normally) and I'm going to try it with croissants instead of bread as I have heard that makes it extra delicious. I'm going to do the peaches thing again. Nom. I'll also prob use soy milk or other dairy alternative in case Delichan wants to try it. Her body is anti-dairy ;)
Photo time!
Here is a not great photo of a batch of cookies whose recipe I kind of made up.
They are Honey ginger biscuits, made with fresh ginger. If you click on the picture it will go to the recipe and other comments I've made about them. I *really* want other people to try this recipe as currently only I have made it. I'm thinking Jenni and Jexia may be interested? (Jexia, it could be another recipe for your list). It is super easy and a one-bowl recipe. My fave kind ;)
Also, here is a lunch I had this week!
If you click on the picture it'll take you to the image in my flickr photostream where I've added comments and annotation to the picture. Flickr is fun! I've also got today's lunch up there, but I had too much dark background in the frame and it isn't such a nice colourful looking pic.
I may take a pic of and add the recipe for the bread and butter pudding later, or I may just eat it. Omnomnomnom.
