I took one of those pre-marinated (red wine and garlic), tender as, roast
beef's out of the freezer yesterday morning with the full intention of
cooking it up and having it as the sun went down, with some roasted veges
and a nice glass of red.

But........ life got in the way, we had a couple of jobs to go to, and we
didn't get home till dark.

On one of the jobs, the guy at the house gave me some fruit and vegetables
that he grew himself.

Lady Finger Banana's, and eggplants.

So I chopped one of the eggplants up with the thought of
frying/searing/roasting them in the wok to have with the roast. As I
chopped it up, I looked in the fridge and saw some mushrooms that had to
be used, so did them as well.

Well, to cut a long story short, I added some garlic to the wok, some
chopped bacon, a piece of (hot) salami that I chopped up, some tomatos
that had to be used, some other stuff that I can't remember, but it all
had to be used up.... then topped it off with two cans of diced organic
tomatos.

I just kept adding stuff to make it look and taste like it was half way
appealing!!

At the end of it, I had a wok full of a rich, tasty, tomato-y, vegetable
with a little meat sauce.

So I then had to dig in the freezer for some ravioli, cooked that up,
placed it on a plate and grated some Reggianno over and squeezed some
roasted garlic on as well.

Then topped it with some of the sauce........

So what started out as me walking into the kitchen to roast up the beef
and have a late(r) dinner, ended up 20 mins later with a very tasty pasta
dish... which got me an 8/10.

The roast will be done tonight..... if nothing else takes my fancy while
I'm cooking it ;-)

Dessert was a home made lemon tart.... but that's in another thread :-)

Looks similar to the veggie ravioli dish in the albums, but I used
zucchini as the main veggie. I can't stand Eggplant. <g>

Well, thanks for that!! I just wasted 30 mins looking around in
there...... well not wasted, more like lost!!

You're getting a few albums :-)

LOL!! The two are almost the same thing! 'Cept eggplant tastes better when
it's fried on a griddle with some BBQ seasonings on it.

I am. but I think it's at least easier to find stuff if I separate it
into albums. :-) There is only one ravioli album and it's the second
dish listed in that one. The first one has a red sauce with meatballs,
the second one is a pure veggie dish. Guess I should have specified to
check the "Ravioli Cheats" album. Sorry!

I guess. <shudder> I find the flavor (of eggplant) to be harsh. Zuch's
are sweet. Grilled Zucchini is very good, or so I think. I've used it
in grilled kebabs. I cut it into 1" chunks before skewering it.

Yes, the World needs more threads about your day.

That's fascinating! The World needs to hear more about the minutiae of
your day! For example, did you have stool? If so - how many times and
what consistency? How much gas did you pass? How much fecal matter? As
much as in your posts or more?
