What's for dinner?

Char Sui, Chinese BBQ pork, rice, brocoli, and my version of Dan Tat custard cups with whipped cream.

I made the sauce and slow braised the pork at 225* before pulling it out and transferring it to the broiler. I also put some chicken bullion in the rice water before I started cooking the rice to add some flavor. Unfortunately, the pastry for the Dan Tat was dry and crumbly for some unknown reason, it usually isn't.

All in all, I'd still rate this as a success.
 
Not that you bots are interested but this week's dinner was Chicken Bercy with sliced carrots and mashed potatoes. There was a slice of Peach Clafoutis with whipped cream for dessert.

I am uncultured swine that could find savory satisfaction in a bowl of oats that's fermented for 3 days. Hardly pic worthy.

And you can't somehow figure out a way to snap a pic on day 1?

And NOBODY does door dash or delivery pizza?

Not only are youse guys all bots, somebody musta put tape over your camera lenses.

Everyone has seen oats.

This thread has given me the impression that most of the meals mentioned were prepared at home. Door Dash or delivery sounds cheaty.

Everyone has seen chicken, and steak, and spaghetti too. The point of the thread is to share what's on the menu tonight.

<-- is having leftyover Chicken Bercy tonight. What're YOU having?

And of course, pics or it din't happen and yer a bot.
 
You know what the worst part is about my Chicken Bercy?

I FORGOT to add butter to the sauce to finish it. It was very thin even after reducing it. I ALSO FORGOT to garnish with some chopped parsley. It ALSO really needed something green on the plate. I was planning on a smear of a cheap/quick pesto kind of thing on the plate before topping that with the carrots but I FORGOT to do it.

And yet none of youse bots can even find a pic n the interweebles of a PB&J you could post.

I despair at how the quality of this board has gone to hell with the dogs in a cheap plastic hand basket from TEMU.
 
As bots, we have healthier backs. We can enjoy other pleasures besides stuffing cakeholes.

I have other pleasures. I play the piano and the violin. I make furniture and do other woodworking stuff. I write books and short stories.

And yet I find the time to bake and cook good food too. How? Because I'm not a bot.
 
Here's a challenge.

Fix FOOD. Take a pic of it before you gobble it down like a starving cur dog, and post that pic in this thread.
 
For the bots who can't even drool over it let alone eat any of it.

Steak and Mushroom Rissotto with Panna Cotta topped with a cherry compote.
