The Mock Turtle

Looks lovely!

Chinese supermarket feast. I am stuffed!

That looks fantastic, brambs!

I did a not-Thanksgiving style dinner for my family yesterday. There were 10 of us I stripped it back significantly compared to the number of dishes you’d have with more of a pot luck/more cooks approach! There was the bones rolled turkey breast, US style stuffing (AKA dressing), corn pie, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, green beans and gravy. And emma_p’s apple ginger crisp for pudding (which I cocked up somehow, so was a bit improvised but still lovely).

I didn’t do any sweet potatoes or pumpkin pie, bread rolls, mac cheese or sprouts. Frankly I didn’t have enough dishes to make anything else!

That looks really delightful. And so nice to be able to cook for your family.

We made a spiced hot pot last night from Persiana. First hotpot ever. Would do again.

I'd eat all of that epp!

I love hotpot, we did a chicken one last week.

This week's soup (beef, veg and tomato) and bread

It looks so good, Epp. What did the fam think?

What was in the hotpot, Cos?

It was a spiced lamb mix. Really delicious.

Your Thanksgiving feast looks amazing!

Tamarind sprouts.

That looks very nice.

This is nothing in comparison to the amazing food on the last page, but I cooked for the first time in our new house (and the first homecooked food in a few days)

Modified Jamie O beef noodles. Used to make this all the time, and remembered when I was unpacking my cooking books.

Whole caul-cheese.

This is the first time Monk has willingly eaten and asked for more cauliflower cheese.

I realise it’s looks like baked brain in a sea of spinal fluid. You can even see the severed brain stem on the bottom left.

That looks lovely, Dic. I would like bread and/or chips with it please.

And I could smash those beef noodles too

I thought I had chips in the freezer but didn't! Nor did I have any bread. I had about four new potatoes but at least I didn't have to share those with M as I thought he wouldn't be interested in the brain so he had a different dinner plus half a brain.

I agree the beef noodles dish looks good.

I love your description Dic.

I should tweet it to Gordon Ramsey so he can slate me.

Chicken pho. So good.

I most definitely did not make these myself, but someone in my new ‘hood was selling these super cute cupcakes so I bought half a dozen for my team at work.

Out for lunch today courtesy of my boss.
