    Snap! The ripple effect of a bumped thread.
    I too made the cooking club stroganoff with beef and mountains of mushroom, served with steamed rice. Searing the meat quickly in hot butter is the making of the dish, isn't it. Such good flavour.

    Delicious cooking club stroganoff with white rice. Sauce was ever so good.

    did this too but used fresh beetroot instead of beef.

    First time having beetroot, was pretty nice

    Meatballs with cream gravy and mustard mash. Pure heart attack dinner, there was nearly as much butter & cream in the mash as potato

    Half a roast wild pheasant with baby spuds cooked under him and roasted red peppers and carrots. Only bit into one pellet too which is a bonus :D

    First time plucking and cleaning one. The cats had fun in the feathers too!

    Plucking & drawing a bird is such a pain in the ass. Give me a rabbit to gut & skin any day.

    I got good news on the job front today & am coming back home after almost 6 years in Der Schweiz, so I treated myself to a big-ass sirloin with roasted baby spuds & scallion & tomato gravy.

    Sipping on a wee Jameson now to dull the thoughts of all the fecking packing & cleaning I am going to have to do.

    God that's good news the Hill Billy. Major congratulations.

    Tonight my friend cooked and we had Moroccan spiced vegetables with quinoa, topped with loads of feta, raisins and toasted almonds. Dessert was Christmas leftover - chocolate marzipan log, and a really great whisky cheese from Lidl. Washed down with the last of the new year bubbles. Really great meal.

    Medium-cooked striploins, plus homemade potato skins loaded with white cheddar, balsamic-glazed lardons and sour cream.

    Congratulations, that's brilliant news.

    Dinner was a mish mash of asian dishes. Sliced Vietnamese lemongrass chicken breast with broccoli over ramen noodles and chicken stock. Korean chicken wings. Fried rice.

    Congrats THB!

    Yesterday was the Epiphany so I made a Galette des Rois for the first time ever. (Ok I used premade puff pastry but I got the best quality ones I could find). It was lovely, but I didn't find the fève, my toddler did, boo!

    That looks lovely. However, I would consider rösti & Reibekuchen to be two different things though. Rösti to me is a grated potato 'cake', whereas Reibekuchen is more of a potato 'pancake' due to the addition of sour cream, egg & flour.

    I used to devour Reibekuchen & Apple sauce at the Düsseldorf Weinachtsmarkt. Yum! Happy memories! :)

    Could be a Western German version... where I'm from, they would be grated potatoes, onion, bit of majoran and egg and potato strach to bind them.

    Tried making chicken tikka using this recipe, leaving out one or two things (cinnamon was one) that I was too lazy/forgot to add but it turned out pretty nice!

    This is my first time to post here but I love reading everyone else's dinners :) Tonight we had left over baked ham so I made a pie from ham, mushroom, spring onion, carrots and peas in a garlic white sauce topped with Parmesan mashed potato. Haven't tried it just yet but it looks magnifique!

    Chicken & chorizo quesadillas for those people who aren't sporting post Christmas stock pot sized bellies and chicken & chorizo & baby spinach salad with a tiny amont of queso for those whose are. Also crispy toasted, broken up corn tortillas. Was very pleasant, very pleasant indeed

    Recipe is here http://rasamalaysia.com/thai-chicken-lettuce-wraps/2/ (I substituted Pork for Chicken). Sweet soy sauce was soy, honey and five spice with added ginger.
