@MrsA2 hello. I read your cabbage recipe with great interest. One of my favourites at present is sweetheart cabbage fried in olive oil with, chopped onion and pieces of bacon. Yum

I had to look up what a sweet heart cabbage is. Not sure I’ve seen that here in the north

I’m in Canada.

@Hotpepper20000 I’m sorry . My mistake . I thought you meant north of England.

Easy mistake to make. It is a UK based forum.
How is the cabbage different then for example, the kind used for sourkraut?

 

[mo53]

@Hotpepper20000 I think the cabbage for sauerkraut is more solid and white whereas this is conical shaped and greener.

Thanks. It wasn’t clear when I googled it.

I am in Wales and havent heard of sweetheart cabbage. Perhaps it goes under a different name here?

This morning I had leftover beef roast with a slice of cheese and avocado.

Tonight it’s taco salad ( own mixed spice mix), with minced Turkey thigh, homemade salsa, homemade pickle jalapeños, shredded cabbage, cheese and Greek yogurt.

Cooked ox cheek for the first time in ages today - delicious. Have reduced down the liquids now into a much richer sauce to have with the leftovers later in the week. Just thinking about what to have for dinner. Pork belly pieces is the current favourite.

@Hotpepper20000 thats it! The pointed cabbage! Identical

 

[mo53]

@Goonergal wow! That looks delicious!

@Goonergal wow! That looks delicious!

Thanks, it was. The big question from me to you is do you still eat pomegranate pots?! That’s my abiding memory from yonks ago

 

[mo53]

@Goonergal : hahaha well funny enough I’ve just started eating them again in the last month! I’ve got one in the fridge for tonight

Yesterday I cooked a beef stew (just 2kg beef, a can of Guinness, onion and new potatoes for Mr B)
Today will be pork in scrumpy (just 2kg pork shoulder steaks, a can of scrumpy, and onion)

I could handle those I think.

Any type of cabbage would do, plain white or savoy. Just not too old or tough.

Today's win was something I had forgotten, microwave poached egg.

I was getting bored with scrambled eggs but getting late for walk didn't have the time for boiled, and am not overly fond of fried. I love a poached egg but didn't have time to boil the water and then wait, then luckily I remembered this:
Half fill a mug with cold water
Crack an egg into it.
Put into the microwave for a minute.
Drain
Voila perfect poached egg, cooked and eaten in 90 seconds flat

You might find there are differences depending on age and size of egg, shape and size of mug and power of microwave but a little bit of experimenting never hurt anybody.

Brilliant. Thanks.

Delicious sirloin from local butcher today, topped with an egg.

We had home made sausage meat patties with egg on top for breakfast.
If I had remembered to add cheese they would have been like a muffinless Macdonald’s brekkie but 10x better.
Without the cheese it was only 9x better.
