What are you preparing for dinner tonight?

Always. My father called it tinned cream. British army lingo, I guess …

Speaking of food/meat in general. We were having friends over for a backyard meat fondue, so I bought an entire beef tenderlion and butchered it myself. It’s so much cheaper to buy beef tenderlion this way, and the butcher will remove the silverskin for you if you ask.

You end up with 1 or 2 small roasts from the head portion; the tail bit can be cubed for fondue or stir fry, and the whole centered section can be cut for nice 2 inch thick filet mignon or leave a section of it whole for a Chateaubriand. It worked out to about $4 cad per serving, all in. Pretty cheap and not much work.

I’ve done that but first order of business with the tail end would be tartare. :wink:

Yes, right. I remember that being mentioned now when I was researching butchering it. I’ve only ever had tartar at a restaurant. Actually, I believe it was Carpaccio. And we needed cubes for the Fondue anyway. Took the rest of the cubes from just below the head section.

Just pickled some jalapeño chillis from the allotment. These are so easy and better than anything you can buy from shops

Have you also pickled them whole. Kebab style ?
That has to be my favourite part of the salad condiments.

I have done that with those long thin milder chillis - like the ones you get on your kebab from the kebab shop! I really like making my own pizzas and these pickled jalapeños are just the business

Yes, meatballs indeed.

Its vegetable soup: leek, carrots, celery, parsley, pepper, salt, water, mince and beefbones for the bouillion.

I’ll try to avoid onions in vegetable soup.

Thankyou, my first try of the recipe. Very tasty and easy so will be making it again.

I would ‘like’ it but celery is the work of the devil :smiling_imp:
