What are you cooking now?

I like to have music playing while I cook. Not so much while I eat.

Me too, ts. I cooked sausage and mash to Berlioz Fantastique (RLPO/Hirokami) yesterday evening! (Local sausages superb - should probably have played Monster Mash but maybe the Witches Sabbath was a good enough link!)

Do food and music mix? I prefer to take my pleasures (ahem) separately.

Flat chips and mayonnaise

Accompanied by the Cure live at Glastonbury 2019.

Ah yes, they were pretty good that night. Not like they were in their glory days in the very early 80s of course, but good nonetheless.

Are you in Belgium at all ?

A random desert made up of leftover stuff. Cherry and walnut pie, made with frozen cherries, crushed walnuts and half a roll of leftover ready made puff pastry, all with a decent sprinkle of sugar.

Pretty good, IISSM. Would have been even better with a good splodge of whippedcream, but we need to get to the shops for such things.

Boccherini cello concertos and a glass of chilled SB ( again) to go with . Yum

Even better clotted!

Our fresh fish man is still turning up in his van on Tuesdays. We got two days worth of cod. Oven-baked with herbs and then a spicy fish curry last night.

In these times Mrs C and I decide what we are going to have 24 hrs in advance as we are needing to decide whether what we have in the freezer is part of it. Today it involved salmon fillets from the freezer - we had two of the four last week -grilled - and though not over cooked, rather dry - so - what to do this time, with the other two - decided bake with a topping. The topping was breadcrumbs from our latest loaf two days ago from the bread machine, mixed dried herbs, dried dill, salt, ground black pepper, sunflower oil, lemon juice - thought needed someting else so chucked in half a dozen pecan nut halves. Topped the salmon, cooked in a tray in the oven alongside some sweet potato wedges which have already been cooking - Cook in oven 180 fan for 15 or so minutes - served with some microwaved broccoli. Oh, and we opened a bottle of Chilean Sauvignon Blanc/Pedro Xiemenez.

For our main meal yesterday, we had one of MrsBBM’s signature dishes, her lasagne. Scrummy! Sorry, recipe is a secret, handed down to her from Italian friends.

Oh go on let us have the recipe - we won’t tell anyone!

Bruckner 8 VPO / Karajan and a bottle of Aldi lager to go with, I think.
Yum !!

Just doing a quick mushroom and celery soup for lunch.

That sounds rather nice. I wonder if it would work with dried mushrooms (the celery is fresh). They are mixture of different kinds - porcini, cepes and such like and are used to give added flavour to stews.
