What have you recently eaten?

Using up some ingredients, made a monstrosity. A half-baton (small baguette) with some leftover bolognese ragu (chilli dog style), vintage cheddar slice, chopped parsley and spring onion. Not bad-tasting, but the type of thing you would ensure never to serve another person.

Potatoes au gratin with some bone in pork chops. It's a semi-regular meal and I like my cheesy potatoes.
 
I gave in and tried that Popeye's chicken sandwich. It's good but not good enough to be an asshole over it. The fries portion was small but I say the price was right.

I've been trying to economise a little, and somehow managed to fuck up ramen, which I hadn't cooked in a long time.

I heated up the pan while I boiled the kettle, and figured boiling kettle water + really hot pan should expedite the process, right? True fast food. What I did not consider was putting the powdered flavouring in after the water, so what happened was I tipped the powder into the empty hot pan which burned brown within one second, so I panicked and began pouring kettle water into the pan which caused a reaction leading to the pan violently bubbling over taking some of the now-diluted powder with it. Once it calmed down off the heat, I resolved to continue and added the ramen block and cooked it until I realised that in my enthusiasm I had added too much water, leaving a large amount of the powder's flavour in a watery broth and not on the noodles.

I ended up with piss-weak broth and flavourless noodles and the reminder that I am a retard.
 
A huge slice of cheesecake with cherry topping that only cost me like 2$ and tasted pretty decent.

On some days I forget that as an adult I can eat cheesecake whenever I want.
Today was not one of those days.
:shit-eating:
 
Potato soup, but it's from a bag. Some shit from Bear Creek. So I put some frozen mixed vegetables in.

You could probably just buy this shit online in bulk and then you'd save money. The neighborhood children would come up with inventive potato based puns after they notice that you're always getting big cases of potato soup delivered.
 
Halfway through a massive order from a Georgian takeaway, I got 2 bottles of wine, some traditional chinkalis, a large juicy peace of lamb in pomegranate and cilantro, some fresh salads, lot of baked potato fries, all viciously sprinkled with tabasco and I have a bucket of homemade garlic sauce to dip all this shit in. Still hungry as fuck since I had a real nice workout today, will have to order some more shit later. I'm watching Conan the Destroyer on the TV. Feeling extremely anabolic.
 
Just made my first foray into cured fish. Specifically some salmon which I treated with a basic gravlax cure wrapped in clingfilm while weighted for 36 hours, rotating every 12 hours.

Stupidly easy, perfect taste, perfect texture...sadly the flavor is so delicate it can only really be eaten on some thin sodabread rather than the bigass bagel with cream cheese, capers, and onion, I was hoping for.

Would recommend for anypony wanting to try out raw fish cuisine for the first time. I suggest it could go well as a topping for sushi onigiri or on some blinis with maybe a dab of cream cheese and a sprinkle of dill.
 
I just finished making a glorious stroganoff. i'd shied away from making it because the recipe was a family member's and I thought I'd never get it as good as them. It's actually turned out pretty amazing, plus works out very cheap - all the ingredients to make 4/5 portions for me (so basically, food for most of the week) came to £12.

Not to sound like an arrogant jerk, but I'm pretty chuffed with myself
 
Homemade Shepard's Pie and a side of homemade stuffing.

I've found a passion for cooking that I never had growing up. There's something to be made by making food from scratch that I don't get from making shit out of a box.
Isn't it satisfying? I love it, especially with the longer nights and colder weather
