Iron Chef WAYCT - What Are You Cooking Today

[Madame Buttonfly]

OK, that choc cake made me so hungry I decided to do some cooking.  Cold and rainy here so perfect for a Jamie Oliver beef stew:

Fresh sage and onion, looks crap but wish I could post the lovely smell:

Realise when veggies, meat, wine and stock are being added that pan not big enough so messy transfer (not shown) to bigger casserole dish 

Nearly ready to go in oven:

Now in oven with several hours slow cooking - hopefully enough time for me to clear up (not insignificant) mess in kichen…

looks delicious, mmmmm

[Madame Buttonfly]

Thanks, IJ.  Sad to admit, I am anything but a domestic goddess - but this dish is pretty idiot-proof (and must say, it's smelling good!)

[Madame Buttonfly]

Eaten.  Doesn't look so go in photos, but was yum.  G said was very good (high praise from Head Chef)    This was my plateful, couldn't take pic of G's cos would need wide-angled lens…  ::)

More on WAYCT from me in about 3 months.  Back over to IJ!

[Jii]

Made some spicy (chili, coriander seeds, fennel, black pepper) baked sweet potato and zuchini, guacamole and chicken accompanied by a bottle of Brooklyn Local 2. It was delicious!

[Madame Buttonfly]

Masterchef!  IJ, the pressure's on…..

[injunjack]

Mme, Jii is ex-pro, I'm just sunday hobbyist

Tomorrow, I'll be just helping hand in kitchen, but sunday is my turn…

and Jii's creation looks good. Like "real" portion. Mine are always there just to feed the family ???

I can tell you all a secret. I started cooking just for this fekkin' thread. oooops now I said it. Missus here is though happy to get hot meal that she hasn't made herself.

[injunjack]

It was missus IJ who made this, I just helped this time, mainly by staying away from kitchen.
Here's a teaser for you while waiting for tomorrow, or your own lunch

Every kids favourite, SpagettiLasagne

[Madame Buttonfly]

IJ, that looks delicious!  Never tried spaghetti lasagne before, yummy I am drooling… breakfast suddenly seems like a long time ago     

[injunjack]

make it just like normal lasagne, but instead use chopped (about 4" long) and cooked spaghetti. Simple as that.

[Jii]

Ooh nice IJ!

[FOXY]

today we didn't cook anything because these guys did:

this is what we picked:

…and this is what they made with it:

[injunjack]

Dinner Time, come and get it!!

Meat to owen, then onions and garlic went into the pan first with some oil, after a while rice and spices, add water and let boil

Then I forgot I had a camera…. Chopped tomatoes and tossed them in with shrimps, heated up. (also some pea/corn/red pepper mix)
The meat was at this point ready, so just get it served

[madmonday]

i'm on the way.  meat looks perfectly cooked, & you say you don't do this for a profession??

great job

[injunjack]

nooo. I really am just a sunday hobbyist who has just started.

[Madame Buttonfly]

Mmmmm, scrummy.  IJ, we like this new hobby of yours…
