What’s cookin’ good lookin?

The first time I ever saw those beans was in the rock opera “Tommy”. Tommy got covered in them.

I didn’t really get it until I ran across them on an English breakfast spread.

Anybody tried the Fishwife line of tinned fish? Happened to catch the rerun of Shark Tank where they appeared. Their stuff looks fabulous but definitely not cheap. Tiny tins are $11-12 each.

We've tried fishwife. It's pretty good, and I'm not one for canned fish in general. I like their anchovies, mackerel with lemon, and they've just added mussels that I'd like to try. But they are spendy so not on our steady rotation.

I bought a tin of the smoked salmon at Mariano's (our Kroger) last week. $10 a tin. Had it on some freshly baked sourdough for lunch today. I have to say it was very good and I can see buying for a treat every so often.

Went to World Market. There used to be one five minutes away from us but it closed a number of years ago. The one in Kildeer is only 20 minutes.

I had forgotten how many yummy treats, many imported, that they carry.

Got the Beans and some Tikka Beanz. Oddly, the six pack of beans are called Beanz and the single cans are Beans. Go figure. And a bottle of HP:

Freeze dried ice cream candy? Think I'll stick with Tillamook...

Heinze beans are usually eaten with a full English. Give the whole plate tomato flavour.

Beans on toast is for kids.

Cheese on toast is far nicer. With eggs... I like fried(slightly runny) or poached.

And Lionel Hardcastle.

I recall him fancying a sausage.
And later in the day a custard tart.

I’ve been passing over the breakfast beans but this morning I had some on toast in honor of Andy!

Squirrel pot pie. No. Just no.

Ew

[AndyD]

I suppose it's all just meat if you're a meat eater, be it squirrel or blackbird, swan or boar.
That's scrummy glazed pastry crust in the photo

[Mik]

Maybe, but I’m not eating cat or dog either.

@Mik

As far as you know…

[Mik]

There are places you don't ask what the fresh catch is.

Fascinating recipe. Could have edited the video (it drags a bit), so jump ahead when you're ready to see the next step.

The video won't embed here; just click on 'Link to video'.

Link to video

[Mik]

Jeez. That is by far the worst cooking video ever.

[Mik]

I couldn’t get to the end because I hated them so much for dragging it out.

[wtg]

It looks really good. The finished product, that is. The video is bad.

Crispy cauliflower cheese shell filled with bacon, onions, mushrooms in a cream sauce, topped with some more cheese. What’s not to like?

[Mik]

Indeed. I don’t suppose you have a recipe?

[wtg]

The ingredients are listed in the description but no instructions.

I’ll take one for the team and try to put together an actual recipe while watching the video again.

Wish me luck. And don’t wait up for me.

Cleaned out a corner cupboard last week and ran across the pasta machine that I haven't used in many years. So, I made pasta earlier today, cooked it up for dinner. One forgets how easy it is and now I'm retired it's no big deal to make pasta around noon and have it ready for dinner. It will remain secured to the work surface for now, where I intend to use it regularly.
