Heresy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats not a pasty, thats an imposter!

Those look good dim. Here in Mexico they are called an empanada and can be filled with either a sweet or savory filling.

Cornish pasty's traditionally are about 3/4 meat and potatoe and then a sweet end to serve as the dessert, usually apple and cinnamon etc. but you rarely see them like that nowadays.

But yeh, very similar to empanada. Cornish ones are just potato, swede (or rutabaga to you strange americans), onion and steak.

Oh dunno how big they are in mexico, but for the one on the left, i used a dinner plate as the template for the pastry

Having left the south west of england I cant get a decent pastie anymore. So its DIY.

there were 3 (well there were 6, three are in the freezer)

Meal in itself.

My mum makes them, and yeah, they're quite nice to eat.

They fry everything in Texas. I'm surprised there's not ketchup on it

Rutabaga" is the common American and Canadian term for the plant. It comes from the Swedish word Rotabagge

Roasted venison, mushroom gravy, asparagus with a light cheese sauce, whipped sweet potatoes and spinach/tangerine/walnut salad tonight. I think I'll throw some fresh cherries in for the ending.

New one on me last night. (no photo sadly). Round at a malaysian aunties house (shes of indian descent) for curry night.

On the menu was Goat Curry - tasted damn good.

So i can now add Goat to the list of meats ive tried.

dim here in Mexico we have a Goat Stew called Birria. It is in a red chile broth.

I really enjoy it. Pit roasted goat is also excellent.

Chicken Salad with Broccoli, Bacon, Blue Cheese, Tangerine and Cashews.
Stuffed Mushrooms

Just a random oil/vinegar/spice concoction.

Love those. I miss good English food. Remember when you used to go to a chip shop and you would get fish actually in the shape of a fish? mmmm.
Here in america i am forced to make my own pasties, and mince. But i found a good way of bringing back English memories, I just slather American food with Branston pickle until all i can taste is the branston

I am an American but as you can tell i have a highly refined palette

... had a goat testicle curry once. Didn't taste much like goat. Don't know if it tasted like testicle. It was supposed to make me "stronger".

Made the Frittata from the leftover Pasta with Spinach.

The Frittata is best served at room temperature.

Ok. Sunday morning and nothing in particular to celebrate except using the lower patio for the first time. Picked grapefruit and tangerines from the yard and squeezed fresh juice and combined them with some bubbly. The neighbor traded some of our ripe grapefruit for fresh eggs (They have very productive chickens) and we scrambled those with some of the left over steak from last night and my other neighbor baked some fresh garlic bread which we traded for some tangerines and that went into the toaster and then slathered with some guava butter we made (like apple butter, only better), and we used some of the coffee beans we picked up at the coffee plantation in San Sebastian Mexico and it was breakfast on the lower patio in the 72F sunshine in February. Cheers.

Let me take a wild guess your in San Diego not Seattle.
Tangerines have been quite good this year. I don't know if they are grown here or the states. I do miss my plum and fig trees
