    Tonight we had japanese-style meatballs, rice and "roasted" broccoli... our roommate (who does all the cooking) still isnt used to roasting vegs, even after he's been here a year. He doesnt bake them nearly long enough.
    And tomorrow, as it's my birthday, I requested crispy pork, rice and potstickers. And I'm going to bake a chocolate cake (I prefer making my own cake haha)

    Sounds tasty and have a very Happy Birthday today @TheBip ....chocolate cake one of my favourites also, and I add some syrup or treacle ,a little less of the sugar then it makes it very moist and sticky....

    Spiral cut ham soup with masa cornbread. The soup recipe uses hominy so the theme was nixtamalized corn. I wonder about 2 things. Since the nixtamalized corn flour is called masa, and nixtamal is a name for hominy, are tamales named after the flour source and could I convince DW to try steamed hominy as tamales are steamed in corn shucks. I have been on a steamer cooked food kick lately.

    I am thinking it is Quiz Night over Alabama Way...Soup yes comprendre....cornflour yes farine de maïs....Steamed yes à la vapeur...the rest would be classed as Je n'ai aucune idée de ce qu'est l'autre nourriture ...enjoy... and steam food is very healthy and retains good flavours...google translate is my friend:chuckle:

    That is a beautiful way to say I do not know! I will bet even a dish of Opossum has a pleasant description in France!

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opossum
    had to visit search first....link is for other people who also have also problems understanding these far off people in another land maybe even another world...:snicker:
    omg...I knew it was going to say this...
    The Virginia opossum was once widely hunted and consumed in the United States.[50][51][52][53] Opossum farms have been operated in the United States in the past.[54][55][56] Sweet potatoes were eaten together with the opossum in America's southern area.[57][58] In 1909, a "Possum and 'Taters" banquet was held in Atlanta to honor President-elect William Howard Taft.[59][60] South Carolina cuisine includes opossum,[61] and President Jimmy Carter hunted opossums[62][63] in addition to other small game.[64][65]Raccoon, opossum, partridges, prairie hen, and frogs were among the fare Mark Twain recorded as part of American cookery.[66]..

    Shepherds Pie with lashings of naughty cheese, browned nicely on top...In true political correctness.. brought about by an ex-pat know it all type:rolleyes:..It is really Cottage Pie as Shepherds apparently should be made with left over lamb...I use minced beef so therefore not to confuse anybody...:shrug:it is correctly re- named Cottage Pie...smells good from the Kitchen...
