Another tasty DELICIOUS TONIGHT recipe that isn‘t remotely the same colour as the example picture. Oh well. The lentils in this soup cooked down beautifully and the overall flavour is great—which is a relief, because the recipe made a TON of it. That‘s my supper sorted through the weekend.

TheBookHippie I had this tonight and forgot to take a picture but I was remembering our conversation about this very thing! 2d
xicanti @TheBookHippie so much intense filtering. Sigh. 2d
TheBookHippie @xicanti seriously!!! 2d

Another recipe with a pretty serious filter on the example photo. Even with Litsy‘s food filter, this soup is way more brown than gold. Maybe Australian creamed corn really is yellow enough to overcome the brownish broth you mix with brown sauce?

It‘s pretty tasty, at least. She cites it as a Chinese restaurant staple, but I‘ve never had it before or noticed it on a menu around here, and I HAUNT my top restaurant‘s menu. A regional thing, maybe?

TrishB It‘s very common in Chinese restaurants in the U.K. 1mo
xicanti @TrishB ah ha! The Canadian equivalent is probably hot & sour soup; something a lot of people start the meal with, and which used to be on every buffet before the buffets went away. 1mo

The library made me return my favourite cookbook (so rude), so I turned to my mum‘s favourite online chef for inspiration tonight. I once again suspect Nagi Maehashi used a filter to get the colours in her book‘s photo, but my Korean barbecue chicken thighs were delicious even if they weren‘t as gleaming red as hers. (They WERE slightly redder before I sliced them up and tossed them with rice.) I‘d make ‘em again.

TheBookHippie Yum!!! I suspect this with many cookbooks!!! 2mo
xicanti @TheBookHippie it‘s the only explanation for some of these colours! 2mo
TheBookHippie @xicanti I agree!! 2mo
Cheshirecat913 Huh, never really thought about that before, but makes so much sense. Looks yummy! 2mo

My BN #bookhaul sale books. I have had these cookbooks on my wish list so when I saw that hardbacks were 1/3 off and I had gift cards, I went to BN and grabbed them.

TheBookHippie Nice!!! 2mo
