We have a side-by-side fridge/freezer, so I hide it on the bottom shelf, where stuff we rarely use is typically kept. It's his fault for not bending down to look there more closely.

Ondeh ondeh cake :) https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b7001497b.jpeg Beef shank , butter milk and sea salt chicken along with “ popiah / poh piah “ and not forgetting the kueh pie tee !! Another scrumptious dinner ! Seems like the rage in recent years to have “ fusion “ desserts too . Like ondeh ondeh - miniature round rice balls filled with gula Melaka ( palm sugar ) and smothered with grated coconut are now also found as a cake .. What is under the red lid are the kueh pie tee ‘ shells ‘ to be filled with the turnip / meat filling you see by the black sweet sauce . This and the other accompaniments make up the popiah / poh piah ( like in a spring roll ) , the poh piah skin is and is shaped like a crepe - out of shot . The beef & chicken are separate and do not go in the poh piah . This is one dish where you usually have to do some work - work for your dinner , unless someone else rolls / wraps it for you ;) Different strokes for different folk . https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e09eb948b.jpeg An amateurishly wrapped popiah |

I don't think she mentioned any other ice creams and besides...I think he would see them now that he has looked at the bottom shelf. It is not like ice cream can be hidden anywhere other than a freezer. Decoy--no he came out eating a bowl of the ice cream.

forgot to ask how you cooked the chips. Gorgeous!
I don't do deep fat frying at home, and I'm pretty sure this holiday rental does not have a deep fat fryer! Also, you really want them to be cooked in the same oil that all that fish is cooked in. Gives them a great flavour. |

it sounds like he only had found 1 Jeni’s ice cream, so does that mean you were down to one Jeni’s only? I thought you had 2-4 flavors at a time.

any dessert plans inbetween Jeni ice cream - eg this next week. I definitely thought you stocked several Jeni flavors.

We might buy a couple pints on occasion, but we do not routinely eat dessert. Maybe a cookie or a couple squares of chocolate.

For me it really depends on the specific sweet. Most of the time if it's out of sight it's also out of mind for me.

I missed posting last night, but we had Serious Eats' chicken, bacon and lentil stew, which is always a fav.

Mr. CE is making a NY Times beef stew for dinner, we have a nice crusty bread to accompany it and a fire burning in the fireplace. And tonight my cousin, who's a college music major, has a live-streaming cabaret show that we'll watch. All in all, not a bad Sunday.

Veal chops. Grilled.

Back home in Sydney after a couple of weeks up the coast. Chicken thighs marinated in some store bought "jerk" sauce that didn't really taste like jerk sauce but tasted good. Rice with sumac and salad with tomato, avo, lemon juice and salt.

Last night I made a shepherds' pie with sweet potatoes. For the meat I used half ground beef and half Impossible Burger (can't tell the difference). And steamed cauliflower with a little butter and cheddar.

I didn't look at it, but I don't think so. I thought it was the one they've been featuring on the home page of the food section, but doesn't appear to be that one, either. He said it had thousands of 5-star reviews, and I believe it -- very tasty!

Definitely not that one. I know it had red wine.

Someone (me) forgot to thaw fish in time for dinner so we got Chinese takeout (Sun Wah for the Chicagoans):
Egg rolls Chicken and corn soup (mainly for lunch tomorrow) Singapore mai fun noodles Fish with ginger and scallions Cumin lamb Rice |
Caesar salad
grilled sweet potatoes brushed with dijon/maple syrup grilled chicken breast with Rao's lemon sauce (my version ) https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2eb2b6a2fc.jpg |
