Roast beef, gravy, mashed potato, with steamed broccoli. I seared the beef in a frying pan, then gave it a mustard, thyme, salt and pepper coating before putting it in the over.
Just like TeriG, I bought a larger cut of beef than I needed for the meal, so there’s at least half left for cold-cuts over the next few days.
Now I have to stop myself from opening the fridge every few minutes and cutting a few slivers off for snacking purposes.

Bravo! I’m looking forward to lunch tomorrow.

I had a roll of…something.
It was like a sugar paste rolled up onto waxed paper, that, I assume, was not to be eaten. The wafer thin substrate, that is.
It was the oddest … thing, I guess … I’ve had in a long time.
Like a long, sweet flatworm,…and it took about forever to consume.
It was edible, though, since I ate the whole darned thing…for some reason. Didn’t exactly cook it myself, nor can I recall what company made it, but it was a meal of some kind, and it was given to me at no cost.
So, sure. Free food, I guess? Or perhaps I was the host of whatever bacteria thrived in the entrails of that tape.
Meh. It was a meal. Some Lismore bottom-shelf single malt whisky and a glass of cigarettes. It’s fine.
No, I can’t find the packaging at this moment, and I’ve also lost my favorite little screwdriver I use for bleeding out one of my torch-lighter tanks…it’s purely a coïncidence, I’m sure. That was a disgusting candy! Gross!
Well, at least I have a teeth-cleaning this week. Eh! And, yes, the scene from Highlander did occur to me as well. Just be glad it wasn’t Scanners!
But the week is young and the days become longer!
In this quadrant, I guess. Candy! Of course you are! (Just for some context … and in this case Highlander is the best antidote…see? Being a nice guy, because, zomg, that was a … it was … a rare treat, that delicious meal. I’ve never enjoyed some Scotch and cigarettes more than right now. What kind of maniac devised that horrid confection. Never mind. Serenity now. Scotch and cigarettes. While that flatworm of sugar is still coiling its way…NO! )

Par-baked lasagnas (they will now be cooled and frozen) featuring kale, double-cream ricotta, and my famous* homemade turkey sausage.
I made the little one because I’m giving away the big one and… I’m nice, but I’m not a saint.

Ah daresay, you can’t rightly do anything else alongside a mint julep, dear lady.

I just heard about that turkey sausage somewhere on the internets. It must be good.
I would also like to compliment you on your cheese coverage. Very even and nicely browned. You may become famous for that as well.

Sandwich for brunch; two slices of buttered malted-grain bread, one topped with black pudding & beer paté, the other with a smear of English mustard. In the middle, a sliced pork & caramelised onion sausage (from last night’s leftovers). A quick grind of white pepper and a few baby salad leaves (for virtue signalling). Job done.
For tonight, I have two duck legs confiting in the slow cooker, with lemon thyme, a bay leaf, toasted caraway seeds, smoked garlic, salt, pepper and a few crushed juniper berries. To be served with steamed asparagus and potato rösti.

One of my friends gave me a recipe for homemade peanut butter bars and I made them this week. They are VERY rich, but very tasty. Pretty simple recipe, too. It reminds me of the treat I used to get with school lunch sometimes when I was a kid.

Brisket, seared in a frying pan with lemon thyme, then into a roasting bag in the slow cooker with a bit of black garlic ketchup and a splash of water to loosen the mix and start a good gravy.
On the side, sautéed zucchini with white balsamic vinegar.
And potatoes, mashed with smoked butter - wow! The first time I’ve tried it and I don’t think there’s any way back to normal mash.

Once again I put so much garlic in my pizza sauce that my eyes were burning while it simmered. You know it’s strong when you can’t escape it by leaving the kitchen…
Pizza tasted great so it was worth it.

My Italian wife says there’s no such thing as too much garlic!
