It’s not that we have never made a charcuterie board. In fact we do it quite often, especially when people come around for drinks. We’ve never heard the term before. We just call it “nibbles”.

I guess from a traditional aspect the charcuterie board is about the meats rather than the extras… but I have been to places that call their offerings a charcuterie board and it’s essentially ‘nibbles’ like a starter

It’s been years since I’ve had Milo. But I only ever have it in the proper manner. Or from the patient drink trolley.

Anyway I just et a choc orange nut bar. Lunch was cheese and tomato wrap.

I am making lasagne for tea. I will have a shower, then make the cheese sauce and put the thing together. The Bolognese sauce was made last week and frozen. But I remembered to pull it out of the freezer late last night, so it isn’t a frozen lump now. There is a slice of chocolate cake in the freezer too, so I might defrost that to eat with cream (or icecream if you are mr buffy) for dessert.

We are having macaroni in tomato soup (from a tin). Followed by scones, loganberry jam and whipped cream. I’d planned to do spanakopita, but I can’t be bothered. I’ll do that tomorrow, because I defrosted some ricotta cheese to use in it.

My son shared a simple recipe with me last weekend.
Roasted brussel sprouts. Buy (or grow) small and tender ones, chop the stem off and drizzle a bit of olive oil into the middle. Arrange on a baking dish and roast till golden. So easy and very very nice. Had them for dinner tonight with a lemon crumb piece of fish.

These babies are only a bit more than an inch across. They are favorites with the kids from the local primary school about 100m from the bakery. After school they go for cream puffs. I don’t know what Vinnie is charging for them these days, but they used to be ridiculously cheap, probably about 50c each.

Bear in mind that buffy doesn’t drink tea or coffee, with or without sugar.

For people like me who often drink unsugared tea and coffee, unsugared cocoa should taste fine.

I drink tea unsugared, but I have to have a little sugar in coffee. I did drink coffee unsweetened at one time years ago, but I prefer a little bit of sugar in it. I simply cannot tolerate the bitterness of unsweetened cocoa – and yes, I have tried it. For anyone who wants to try, lick your finger, dip it into cocoa powder (I use Dutch processed cocoa powder) and lick your finger again. It’s bitter as hell. I don’t know anyone other than you who drinks unsweetened cocoa as a hot drink. The reason I prefer to make my own hot cocoa rather than drinking chocolate is because the drinking chocolate is so sweet.

Fair enough, people have different tastes. I wasn’t much of a cocoa-drinker until I recently ran out of tea and coffee.

I was apprehensive about drinking cocoa without sugar (I don’t normally keep a stock of sugar) because all the online recipes include sugar.

But I found it fine, not too bitter at all. I tried it with both skim and whole milk but found there wasn’t much difference, so I use skim for the lower calories and higher protein.

i usually have a coffee first thing. grind my own beans. add a little cream. no sugar. the drinking chocolate i just bought the other day. i think it is only the second time in living memory. don’t drink it every day. life is short.

double shot of coffee in about 250mL of water with about 60mL of moo juice.. I’ll have two, or maybe three, of them a day.

Anyway lunch this end is just one lone avocado. Halved, remove wooden ball, scoop & scoff. No seasonings.

I bought some hot chocolate with what they called Aztec spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, chilli powder) from MRCF … and it’s fucking great

I’ve got some of this stuff…wonderful taste. Difficult to dissolve.

Ibarra Mexican Chocolate

a couple of weeks ago someone made some (what they called) Spanish Hot Chocolate.. it had chilli in it.. I didn’t think I would like it, but it was really nice… so I decided to give this a go when I saw it… I had a mug last night…. very nice.. but also sugar is the main ingredient (35%). Last night I had it with warm milk.. but I notice now that there is milk powder in it.. so tonight I will try it with hot water instead.

since it is a hot chocolate and inside type of day here, I made the hot chocolate.. definitely better with some milk.. I suppose that’s why the Spanish like it served with cream… I don’t like cream, but milk is a decent substitute.

I have some Mexican drinking chocolate in the pantry. If I was smart I’d make a huge pot of hot chocolate and store it in the fridge.

Beef & veg casserole about to be ovened.

Diced rump, taters, carrots, beetroot, onion, garlic, broccoli, tomato, rosemary, thyme, touch of chilli, red wine, beef stock etc.

That’s not very gourmet!! I grew up on van Houten and have always used Dutch processed cocoa. Can’t always get van Houten, but Droste is just as good. Some years ago I thought I should try Bourneville – it’s very lightweight on the chocolate taste.

I’m eating a bowl of nuked peas/carrot/corn. With a splodge of butter. Don’t need much food after a piece of fried fish and some chips at lunchtime.

Doing a batch of pumpkin soup for dinner.

Lunch report: I’m not having lunch. It took me until 11.30am to get around to eggs and bacon for breakfast this morning because I had too many jobs to do around the house before the “rain” started. It’s still only spitting. So I needn’t have rushed. Mr buffy has bought a couple of chicken kievs for tea, so a big breakfast and a big tea tonight will suffice for today. Especially as I am going to lie down and read for most of the afternoon.

Hot chilli chips (crisps) they have a bite to them

Humble pie with the lights out.

Punken soup verdict: very tasty indeed, enhanced by a little ground cumin, coriander and the usual nutmeg, and thickened with a little tater and carrot.

Surgery??

The kidney stones did not “pass” with extra hydration. They are going in to find them and destroy them. And maybe stent.

I hope the surgery is at 2.15pm and not too much later!

Chicken and veg soup, leftovers from 2 nights ago. I may eat another piece of cherry ripe slice. Large mug of hot Milo.

I would usually supermarket tomorrow, but until I know what is happening with mr buffy, everything is on hold. He won’t be back in Hamilton tonight, so presuming everything goes smoothly, he may be transferred back to Hamilton or brought home tomorrow. Plenty of pantry and freezer provisions, and I’m eating less while I can’t garden or walk as much as usual. I don’t need the fuel.

I’m having eggs and bacon for tea, with some steamed veg. Mr buffy is going to eat his keema rice that the Sikh lady made for him when she made my butter chicken last week. I froze his food and defrosted it overnight for him. My butter chicken lasted two meals.

I’ve just had breakfast: Wai Wai oriental 3 minute noodles, with added cayenne, soy sauce, frozen veges, baby corn, and dried shiitake.

Time to build a smoked chicken burgery thing.

Crusty bun halved and lightly toasted. Spread both with spicy capsicum dip. Than add thin-sliced dill pickle to the bottom half, then a layer of thick-sliced smoked hen breast, then a vintage cheddar slice, melt under the gorilla.

Add a handful of baby leaves, squish the top bun half on top of it all, scoff.

I might try these cauliflower burgers I saw on special.

No. Those flag-like Japanese bamboo skewers (Teppo Gushi ) were used.

Three rissoles now formed and cooking. I’ll see what they’re like and if I need to add anything to the rest of the mix.

Verdict: it’s a pleasant meat, sweetish and mild, if a little chewy. The rissole mixture I chose works well.

I got a couple of very cheap lamb’s fries a while back and made Vietnamese Pate, which was absolutely gorgeous.

Notes:

• I didn’t soak the liver in milk.
• I didn’t remove facia or any chunky bits (the whole lot is blended anyway).
• I used a Hong Kong-made five spice, which has dried tangerine peel in it. It’s so much better flavoured than any Australian made five spice.
• I used just enough milk in the mixture to make it blendable.
• I added whole peppercorns to the sealing butter-melt to make it look nice. They softened enough to make them deliciously edible.
