Yes there was....
I think it was what's on the menu.

Thanks Limpy! http://www.menopausematters.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,16874.0.html

Been there, added my menu for today ;)
-
steak: asparagus; new spuds; mushrooms ………….
horseradish and mustard …...
-
Having a prawn sandwich on oat bread, celery and apple and cheesy biscuits.
A slice of strawberry jam and white chocolate icing sponge cake and a cup of Rooibos tea.
-
Haven't decided yet. Don't know what. Don't know what time either. Am awaiting instructions!

Hi
I am out to the flick and dinner with a lovely chap...yum xxxx
Mrs January xx
-
Well have had my instructions ;D Son has diverted off to eat with friends and husband has gone for a quick drink so doesn't need anything to eat. That's easy then - just me - lovely - and then Friday night at the local awaits.
Taz x
-
Done and dusted.
Tuna steaks with a tomato olive and caper sauce, new potatoes and broccoli. Strawberries for afters ;D....Go me.
Overly full now.
Honeyb

-
Smoked salmon steaks, egg noodles with beansprouts, onions and soy sauce, broccoli; rhubarb yoghurt; and a glass of white wine. Our favourite Friday tea!
-
Didn't need the mustard or horseradish ;) - have had indigestion since though :-\ - same after last night's evening meal
-
Maybe ate it too quickly CLKD ?
Just had a chocolate mini ice lollie and thinking about putting the kettle on.
Honeyb

-
Probably. It's uncomfy though ……. cuppa would be good though ;) …. take the taste of the antacids away!
-
I cheated, didn't cook. ;D Tomorrow will be different, son coming to tea as GF away on a hennie weekend. Pics on FB hilarious. All dressed up as grannies, inflatable walking sticks & zimmer frames. ;D
-
As I'm doing weightwatchers I'm making a vegetable lasagne which I found on their website.
I'll have a big salad with that and still have some points left for icecream ::)
-
Sounds lovely Dyan - if you cut out the salad ;D - I like boiled, cooled new potatoes, radishes, red beets, some types of tomato but not lettuce ………..
Tonight apparently will be pasta/ginger/garlic with grated cheese melted over :-*
-
Chicken chow mein tonight, followed by lemon meringue pie.
-
Oh I'll cancel the above pasta and try the lemon meringue please ;) ……… although DH is already busy in the kitchen ;D
-
They all sound good :) just having a sandwich again, but I am having a salad with it, putting walnuts in with with raspberry balsamic dressing.
I buy a tin of raspberries in apple juice, drain the juice and add to half a bottle of Balsamic dressing and shake.
I usually have the raspberries with chocolate mousse.
OH usually has his own concoctions for early evening meal, we eat lightly because OH does not do well on a heavy evening meal.
-
Well that's a new one! I like prunes straight from the can ::)
DH has a bottle of oil which has freshly shredded lemon skins in, shaken and poured over crusty bread …… :-*
We use a lot of various vinegars/oils through the year …….. as well as home made chutneys ...
-
This one?
-
I'm 'billy no-mates' this week (hubby and daughter both away), so I made a big pan of stew last night (the way I like it - loads of veg, just a bit of meat, and pearl barley - I love pearl barley in my stew, but I'm alone with that in our house!). It will do me for all three nights on my own, and just get better each night :)
-
This one?
there was another one, but this will do nicely thank you :)
Not much cooking involved tonight, meal for DH - so its shop bought steak pie, jacket spud and green veggies. Good news is I have convinced him to eat 'some' healthy options, so been out today and bought him some little pots of fruit, dates and celery to go with his lunches.
I have consulted the veggie cookbook for next week though and have a couple of gentle curries on the list, ingrediants on list. Also alone at weekend I have salads as DH doesnt like them either.
-
Don't like salads much, too much prep.. Radishes are OK. Cucumber is tasteless. Tomatoes seem to be watery or not taste of much.
-
Smoked salmon and melon for us tonight with salad and crusty bread.
I love a salad and all the other bits and bobs. Cous cous, beetroot, coleslaw ....oh the list goes on and on.
Honeybun
X
-
Oh had forgotten beetroot - thick slice of bread, thinly buttered with cold beetroot ;)
DH has grown: damn forgotten the name: large root veg. which smells like celery which he slices into salads
He catches and smokes trout ;)
Don't know what he's cooking later :P
-
Celeriac, CLKD?
-
Made pizzas for tea tonight. Treat myself every so often.
-
:thankyou: Scampi ;D
2-night he cooked: sliced chicken breast fried with ginger; added a home grown red chilly :o :-X - salt, pepper, sliced red pepper on a bed of spaghetti bows with tomato paste stirred in. Lips burning now :D
-
We had steak, boiled newish potatoes, asparagus with a mushroom, dijon mustard and wine sauce.
All cooked by OH from scratch and it was really good :medal:
I did print out the recipe, but this just created many many questions, I use "very loose terminology" apparently ::)
There I was perched on crutches, hovering, good job really. Wiping mushrooms with damp cloth became, putting them under the tap along with the asparagus ??? 1/2 of a teaspoon of Dijon mustard had him grabbing a box of Colmans Mustard powder ??? When I mentioned the DM was in the fridge he did say it's a good job you're here, with a straight face ::)
-
;D
Eaten now Limpy?
-
YES!
It worked awfully well :)
Just waiting for chocolate brownie to arrive :-*
-
With cream? can you make the ankle problem last a little longer maybe :whist:
-
The brownie didn't have cream.
But, there was some in the sauce with the meal ;D
-
We are all done...hubbies contribution was cutting up the melon. ::)
It was nice though and we had cheese and biscuits left over from the weekend along with the first of our apples.
Stuffed now, but might find room for a birthday chocolate or two....then that's them done.
Glad hubby is doing well in the kitchen Limpy.....sounds as if it's really going quite well.

just finished tonights dinner.
Spicy, chilli mince with mash on top. (tastes better than it sounds)
-
DH caught 2 trout at 5.30 last night, one is now with the neighbour and he will cook ours later ;) with freshly pulled runners and yam [I'm actually hungry this afternoon]
-
Probably the last BBQ of the year :-\
Chicken, baked potatoes and sweet corn.
Honeybun
X
-
Oh there'll be more :sunny: yet Honeybun - once Tropical Henri passes over ::)
C.mas Day maybe? ;)
Home grown spuds and sweet corn?
-
Yep but we are almost out of gas ;D ;D
Honeybun
X
-
Switch on the cooker then ;) - I don't like BarBQd food much, I moved out of the Cave ;)
I keep wondering how long our camper gas will last :-\ - bet we get caught out in the middle of a field in a storm ;D
-
no cooking tonight, fish n chips while out :)
-
Oh Bisto ………….
DH is cooking small pieces of fillet with mashed potatoes for me, mashed yam for him and frozen peas :-*
-
Chicken casserole with potatoes, carrots and runner beans from the garden. I will eat the chicken and the potatoes and a few of the beans. Have to work tomorrow so can't risk getting stuck in the loo!
Taz x
-
Evening meal yummy
Is it the curry that is good for colds? DH makes lots at least 1 a week ;). Do you save any to eat cold the next day?
-
I don't like prawns but DH does ;)
I like cold chicken curry for breakfast ::)
-
BBQ ribs tonight. Yummy.
Honeybun
X
-
> hands over bib < ;D
-
And tooth pick ;D
Oh TMI
Honeybun
X
-
rump steak, chips, brocilli and kale.
with home made flap jack and oaty biscuit. for afters.
-
One can buy gold tipped tooth picks …….. ;)
-
spicy chicken thigh's, and green veggies. (new recipe)
I just bought 'more' cook books, and I think I am turning into some sort of mad cooking woman? I realise it is helping to keep my mind of the 'poor me' thing as well as the healthier eating plan.
-
We trawl the charity shops for cookery books ;) - I can date the publications by the pictures and recipes inside ::)
Home made beef burgers [apparently ;) ] - that's minced beef, chopped green/yellow peppers, chopped ginger and garlic, 1 egg …… grilled slowly
-
Motillium before you head out the door?
-
Let us know how you get on!
-
Roast beef,cauliflower,New potatoes,roast potatoes,sprouts,Yorkshire puds.
-
What time ? ;D
-
About 1830 and can bring dessert ;D
-
too late then ::)
Beefburger went down OK!
-
I have some cook books from the charity shop too, the latest are from Amazon, the ones for 1p + postage so not breaking the bank.
No lentils Sparkle no, I survived them well last night though DH did not. My chicken was a success, was with apricots too, smell of curry filled the house but was not too strong and of course all veg good.
Have a good meal out Sparkle, fingers crossed.
edited to say, the home made burgers sounded lovely too.
-
They were. DH has always made them by hand, no buying of beef burgers here ;)
-
Lamb chops supplied by neighbour's flock (very few food miles involved) and fresh veggies from the garden.
Galadriel x
-
I don't like lamb much but that sounds great!
-
Tuscan bean casserole :o
My daughter has gone veggie, so I'm having to learn a few new things.
Honeybun

-
Sausage casserole :)
-
Tuscan bean casserole :o
HB - Will your unhappy tum cope with that amount of beans :-\ Good Luck
In the Limpy household tonight it is:
Fish Pie purchased from Waitrose with petits pois prepared by OH.
-
Home bought 'pizza express' pizza …….
I can no longer tolerate baked beans or chilly con carne …….
-
It was very tasty but I'm going to be picking it out of my teeth all evening ;D
Galadriel x
-
Time will tell Limpy, it had celery, carrots, tomatoes, French beans, chick peas, butter beans and potatoes.
Ok so far but if you see something floating past your window tonight it will probably be me ;D
Vegetarian again tomorrow....egg and chips ;D

I'd have to take up residence in the loo for at least a week after all of that honeybun!!
Taz x :lol:
-
French beans are OK for me but I avoid chick peas ….
-
Actually didn't eat that much, just a very small portion and some bread. I was a bit scared to be honest, and I've got my side pain back again :-\
Feel ok , if a bit peckish.
Rather have had a lamb chop to be honest ::)
Honeybun

-
chicken korma tonight, from Sally B cookbook. Served with rice and peppers.
Inlaws over tomorrow, so eating out.
-
Roast chicken, roast spuds, veggies and gravy tonight.
2nd batch of muffins done and still not right, dont know were I am going wrong :(
-
Self raising flour used? to enable it to rise?
-
recipe says plain flour and baking powder. My last lot was a bit old, so made with new stock today.. although better (ie not rubber this time) they still did not rise enough. I put pics up on FB and majority opinion is its in the mixing, I am either doing too much or not enough. Looking like my visit to my narc Auntie this weekend might be a lesson in cooking, might as well make use of her ;)
-
Just doing chicken breast, oven chips, fresh runner beans. dessert is stewed apples which I did earlier plus cream.
-
Chicken curry cold, on warm rice
-
Chicken Korma.
-
Cooked breakfast ,very healthy ...not ! But I did grill everything ;D
-
Is it Chicken Monday then? ;D
-
I had left over chicken tonight....with salad...AND CHIPS ;D
Hubby refused so had a pork pie.
It was a very large chicken as son was supposed to come for Sunday dinner.....and he didn't. So there is some left for tomorrow....so we are having my take on paella....chicken and rice with some prawns. Oh and the dog will get the left overs with her biscuits when we are on holiday. She loves the bits no one else will eat, and she is only little so a little goes a long way with her complete biscuit meal.
Honeybun

-
When do you go HB?
-
Next Monday Limpy. Just a Monday to Friday....but I intend to do things on the Monday and Friday otherwise it's very short. I'm trying to convince hubby that the Sealife Centre on Loch Lomondside would be fun....not sure he is convinced.
The dog food will be frozen until we go and she will enjoy every drop ;D
How to make a chicken feed many.
Honeybun

-
Enjoy it Honeyb - you deserve it.
What's your OH got against the Sealife Centre, it sounds interesting ::)
-
Roasted with veg.; cold sliced with salad or chips and veg.; chopped and added to rice with frozen veg., i.e. risotto; chopped for curry with rice, home made chutney - that's as far as Wed. - in the mean time, bones are boiled slowly with lots of salt and pepper for soup ;)
SeaLife Centres are great on wet days ;D
-
We have been before, but I'm sure I can convince him to go....threatening him with shopping usually works.
We will also go to Luss....you liked it there CLKD.
Honeyb

-
Oh how lovely - it's 12 months since we were there :o! Have a cuppa in the little Cafe ;-). of course, name escapes me but it's on the main street.
-
I found photos of us in Luss 30 years ago with our Irish Stetter in the church yard.
Been going for so many years and I still love it.
Ok sorry.....this has nothing to do with food....will move it to the holiday thread ::)

I hate that not being able to eat when too tired :-\
Hot toast and honey - loverleyyyyy >hands over plate<

:thankyou: is it honey grown locally to you?
-
Yep, friends hubby keeps hives. It's yummy :) :-*
Honeybun

-
On my way ;D ……. would keep bees but don't have enough space apparently: strange things bees ……
-
Saw the biggest bee I have ever seen the other day. It was like a flying grape ...only a different colour ....well you get my drift ;D
Honeybun

;D
Bit like the spider I took out of the pair of shoes in our porch yesterday ……. rather than running away it sat up and waved it's arms at me :o ………

It would have been waving at my back ;D ;D
Honeybun

-
minestrone soup tonight and crusty bread.
-
DH is cooking - freshly purchased steak with home sliced chips and mushrooms ………
-
:rofl: that dates *you* :lol:
-
Certainly was. Service to the table too …….. although 'of it's time', it filled a niche ;)
What with Wimpy, Bernie Inns, the Milk Bar ………. we knew how to live ;D
-
You can't beat them !
-
Hope you started with a prawn cocktail ;D
Honeybun

-
Chilli con Carne tonight :o
-
:o - windows open all night?

;D ;D
Beef Stew from 'one pot cook book' tonight. Smells good.

Pork chops (boneless) with potatoes, leeks and whatever other veg I can find in the garage.
-
Mac and cheese for us.
Honeybun

-
homemade lamb burgers and corn on the cob.
-
Not cooking anything - fish and chips from the local chippy!
Taz x
-
DH is peeling mushrooms, potatoes for chips and frying steak …..
4 2 nights he's been spoiled ;) - the Hotel did reasonable food piping hot !
-
Pizza and salad
-
Sausages, mash and spaghetti hoops for us, followed by cheesecake
-
Liver and bacon with sweet pots and home made plum tart with ice cream
If I get a shift on!!
PN x x
-
Like the sound of your home-made plum tart and icecream, purplenanny!
We're having corn-on-the-cob, shop-bought fish pie ( ::)) and frozen peas. Well, it is Saturday night.........
-
Lamb chops which were really tender, baked potatoes, home grown peas and tomatoes.
Followed by coffee and ginger biscuits for hubby. Oh and the dog had a sliver of digestive biscuit.....she loves them.
Honeybun
X
-
What! no chop for the dog Honeybun ;D
Stuffed now ::)
-
Heavens no.....her digestive system is far too old. What she did have that she just loved was some left over cod with her biscuits.....daughter and I were in fits as she ate is.......she was making such a yum yum sound and she licked the pattern off her bowl. Simple thing that made a little dog very very happy ;D
Honeybun
X
-
…… and the owners very very happy ;) ………
-
;D
Yep.....she is an old lady and well worth spoiling.
Honeybun

-
'left over' : really : or 'cooked extra fish' ;D
-
Got me there CLKD ;D
Can't resist that little face.
Honeybun

-
Cooked an Italian stew in slow cooker. It was delish! Meat was just falling apart & so tasty.
-
Had roast pork with crackling,roast potatoes,green cabbage,cauliflower,and mash. Mmmmmmm
-
Home late so oven on, pizza in; eaten …..
-
Home made beef-burger ;)
-
home made pea and mint soup.
-
oooohhhh - what time ? ;D
-
Haven't got a clue ! ;D
-
Cold meats, prawns, salad and crusty bread followed by chocolate pudding.
Honeybun
X
-
Apparently; garlic bread with shop bought pizza for speed
-
Have a clue now
Off out for carvery ! ;)
-
Near by? Cycling there and back ……….. ;)
-
Lamb chops marinaded in garlic & rosemary.
ALL done by OH - I was outside (soaking up the sun as ordered by bone density nurse) when he yelled to say he'd started off the marinade and what else needed to go in, nothing. So ladies I didn't have to do a thing.
Tasted pretty good too!
-
Stuffed now - can you smell the garlic :-X ;)
-
No it's just on the corner 3mins walk away. And I was very good no pudding ! ;)
-
home made cornish pasties - this is a first for me, not done pastry for over ten years ::)
-
Chicken leek and mushroom puff pastry pie......prepared for me by M&S ;D
Honeybun
X
-
We poured boiling water into a camping packet of pasta, done in 8 mins..
-
oxtail and cider stew. Also making a chocolate tray bake with icing and sprinkles (they used to be called hundreds and thousands).
Yes, I do need to keep busy - keeps me sane.
-
Never considered putting oxtail together with cider.
Let us....well me ... ::) know what it tastes like.
Honeybun
X
-
Haven't done oxtail for years 'cos it became un-obtainable due to various neurological diseases - it was a staple in our student days ::) and adding cider :-* and another glug shortly before serving ;-)
DH is smoking fresh trout and will be cooking me some steak with chips
-
Baked gammon shank with cranberry and orange sauce. Crusty beetroot and apple bread. Thanks M& S ;D
Honeybun
X
-
A recipe I saw on TV. Sausage & Bramley apple casserole.
-
Ooo that sounds nice.
Honeybun
X
-
I'll let you know how it turns out. Has black pudding in it too.
-
DH used to make proper Cornish pasties and freeze them: we would then take 1 out for lunch, by 12.30 it had de-frosted enough to eat …….
-
made a big tortilla this morning with red peppers, red onions, green beans, bacon, chives from garden and fresh mint and potatoes. So we will have more of that and I will do a couple of chicken breasts too.
-
That's two new recipes today for me. Oxtail and sausages.
Always like some new ideas.
Trouble is DD has turned veggie and I'm struggling with recipes that don't involve too many peas or beans as I can't eat them.....well I can but I need tying down afterwards. ;D
Honeybun
X
-
What's a tortilla :-\
;D
Two meals then Honeybun? Or perhaps she can cook her own …….
-
She does CLKD but when she is in late from uni it's nice for all of us to sit down together....oh and it means the cooker only goes on once instead of twice.
I really need to get a veggie cook book.....a visit to the library me thinks.
Honeybun
X
-
Good idea - always the Charity shops too for a browse? None in Luss though :D. One could always cook peas/beans/cauli on the hob: enough for DD?
Indian cookery has lots of veggie recipes too. Mainly due to it being hot with no way of keeping food stuffs fresh and also for religious reasons. DH does a mean dahl [with yellow lentils] as well as lots of veg. with various spices. Shall I send him up ;) ……. :whist:
)that was a very silly fly, landed in my hot cuppa :o ( …….
-
Never considered putting oxtail together with cider.
Let us....well me ... ::) know what it tastes like.
Honeybun

smells good. Its one from Delia's 'frugal cookbook' though it must be an older edition when oxtail was a bit cheaper than it is now. Still makes a nice change. I have saved the rest of the cider for DH as I cant drink now.
Chocolate tray bake went wrong, it broke up when I took it out of tin. icing was too runny too, whole thing is still a bit on the moist side to say the least, I think we might need a spoon to eat it, and I made it for DH to take away this weekend too :(
I have a great veggie cookbook, its an indian vegan book, got some great recepies in it.
-
You could eat it with ice-cream ;) - or heat it in a mug?
-
My failed bakes end up as puds with ice cream or custard.
-
Mary Berry does the best tray bake recipes.....never fail. I used to make huge ones and freeze some when the kids were small.
I can't ever remember a failure as she is the bung it all in and mix it all up and bake.
Honeybun
X
-
I've got a sultana tray bake recipe which never fails.
-
Thank you for cake advice, much appreciated. DH likes his cake anyway, so thats the main thing.
Oxtail and Cider is a no-no so would not advise that one, didnt taste so great and despite the 3 hour cooking we struggled to get the meat off the bone and all the fat got stuck in the teeth, and there was a lot of fat. We agreed not to do that one again.
DH is away this weekend. Pizza from Asda for tea :)
-
My sausage, black pudding & Bramley apple casserole was a big hit.
-
Messy then SadLynda?
DH has shoved a pizza into the oven and is now crushing garlic to spread on toast ;-)
-
yes, messy and generally bluegh :sick02:
alone again tonight, shop bought quiche and cous cous. Very little effort. Though I did make a soda bread this morning that I had some of for lunch, very nice.
-
I made a frittata tonight with salad. Very nice even if I say so myself ::)
Honeybun
X
-
Oh I envy you....I can't do Indian, they are just too spicy and don't sit well. Chinese is about my limit these days.
Shame because I like Indian and also Mexican. Mexican I make myself with the help of a kit and I get to decide how hot it is.
Honeybun
X
-
Wish I could get my hubby to eat frittata. Only eggs he'll eat are fried or hard boiled.
I made a chiili for our tea, not too strong as I don't like over spicy food. Made a tray bake today for pudding. I've had too many helpings though. It is really yummy.
-
some nice meals going on.
Today I have a fresh loaf brewing in the bread maker, and have made a batch of 'Mary Berry' fruit scones. Dont think there is anything cooking for tea though, not sure when DH is back tonight so might just be a take away :)
-
DH has baked a loaf in the maker this morning, house smells delicious ;)
-
Roast beef and all the trimmings.
-
Roast chicken with all the trimmings here....made by hubby which makes it taste even nicer.
Honeybun
X
-
Tonight it's fish & chips. Easy tea, just put in the oven.
-
Chopped chicken, veg., spices on pasta - apparently :D
-
bread works much better if you remember to add the liquid >:( 4 hours of waiting for nice crusty bread to open up to a volcano disaster :'(
-
Ooops!
-
Roast chicken and...............drat! - I meant to get bread sauce yesterday when I was getting the shopping. Oh well, we'll have all the rest of the trimmings............... :)
-
Don't U make your own bread sauce? Bet it was OK without ……
DH's concoction hit the spot.
-
DH is chopping ginger/garlic/peppers to make a beef burger each ;)
It was very filling and yummy - he used a home grown chilly though :o … :o
Now I fancy something else :-\ …….. does anyone else have fancies but can't find anything in the cupboard
-
That much baking these days I can usually find something nice CLKD ;)
Tonight is spicy Cauli soup with help from 'Anthony Worrel Thompson' book. sounds good, here's hoping. Also doing a tray bake that has cherry pie filing in it, that sounds good too.
-
DH is preparing chicken curry with thighs ;)
-
Chicken thighs and not his I hope CLKD ;D
Smoked salmon and prawn salad for us tonight.
Honeybun
X
-
Home smoked? DH bought himself a 3 burner for the pre-pared trout ;)
Stuffed now …….
-
Both of us working today so cheated and went to the chippy :P
-
lamb piri piri stew. marinating since this morning, go in oven around 4ish ready after yoga :)
-
Only two of us tonight so I bought some rib eye steaks. I'll also do some Slimming world chips, peas, mushrooms and a fried egg (in frylite) and a side salad to go with them.
-
Chicken in a tomato and basil sauce with peppers and mushrooms with tagliatelle for DD and me and a kipper for hubby.
Well I'm having real chicken and daughter is having Quorn chicken....she is still being a veggie....wonder how long it will last ::)
Honeybun
X
-
Sweet and sour pork and egg fried rice. Quick meal before heading off to Wembley :)
-
Only Quorn I can stand is the mince, probably as sauces such as bolognaise & chilli kill the tastelessness of it. Tried quorn sausages once, nearly made hubby & I barf.
Daughter did the veggie thing in her teens, but then decided real meat was better. So she cast aside her feelings for killing animals for meat. As a student, meat was rarely in her diet, unless she came home for a meal. Couldn't afford it. It was beans, pasta & soup.
-
Yep I get that CG , but she is staying at home ::). Mind you I have to say she has never been a red meat fan. She would eat the occasional steak, hated lamb and pork. Liked cottage pie and steak pie. She has always preferred fish and chicken.
It's difficult to try to get us all eating the same. She is up to her eyes in her honours year and the work is eye watering.....so I want to cook for her so she doesn't have to bother.
She is out tomorrow ...thank goodness ;D.
Saturday we are having half a stuffed pepper and stuffed tomatoes.....Sunday is Sea Bass, Monday....oh heaven knows.
I'm going to the library on Saturday for a veggie cook book. Maybe something there I can adapt.
Wish she would just eat....well normally. Add the veggie into the lactose intolerance and it's a nightmare.
Mini rant over ::)
Honeybun
X
-
Vege & Lactose intolerance are certainly not a good mix, but is possible. Thing I can no longer get is dairy free version of grated parmesan. Can't do risotto any more, mind you hubby is happy as he dislikes risotto. ;D
-
Too much on today, chinese take out for tea.
But I am having attempt no.2 at the loaf in the bread maker next, fingers crossed.
-
Pizza, and salad .
-
Chinese for me too. Can't be bothered tonight and I need a break from cooking.
Honeybun
X
-
Fish and chips from the chippy, mushy peas...I've cooked all week. Lovely Friday splurge!
-
Hubby is attending a dinner tonight, so I'm heading for a Chinese take away.
-
Freshly caught [yesterday] trout under the grill with frozen heated peas and chips ;)
-
Hope hubby didn't grill the peas ;D
Chinese eaten and very nice it was too. May well suffer later but I don't care.
Honeybun

-
….. don't care ……… until you start to suffer? ::)
Evening meal eaten. Digested. Washing up to be done :(
-
That's what the dishwasher is for ;D
All good and indulged in a few chocs too.

Dishwasher already full :o ;D
DH wandered in a while back stating 'there's a mountain of washing up there' - 'we can't get the Staff, she's likely to be back in the morning' was my reply ;)
Now he's slicing freshly made bread :-* - marmalade anyone ?

There are only two of you CLKD, how many dishes do you need. ;D
I can run my washer twice a day but I don't care...I ain't washing up :o

Friday's bread was a success :) Yesterday made batch of biscuits, fairy cakes and pea and ham soup in slow cooker. (enough for us and some for parents).
Today I am making bread buns for DH lunches, they are 'proving' ;) Also having a very rare Sunday roast leg of lamb and roast tatties and veg.
-
Garlic chicken,cauliflower,carrots,brussels,mash and gravey.
-
Chicken curry casserole followed by an Eve's pudding.
-
'rare' lamb as in 'rare breed' or bloody :-\
DH has been told that it's 5.10 p.m. so has scurried off to the kitchen to prepare small pieces of steak, chips and frozen peas ;D bless him :-*. He had no idea of the time :D

I prefer my beef and lamb to be rare, overdone and it looses flavour.
Sea bass for us tonight with broccoli and potatoes.

Caught by DH Honeybun ??? - DH used to catch a lot when we lived in Wales but I don't like it much. Done under the grill slowly, the skin lifts off easily once cooked ;)

:-\ ………. there's a lot of human food that they wouldn't access in the Wild ::) ……..
Grapes and chocolate can be fatal. Other food stuffs are OK, lots of greens they would get from the paunch of a dead animal either brought down or scavenged ……

But not potatoes.
Mine has always been given some fresh fruit and veg, but very limited. Raw carrots and a slice of apple, frozen peas which she crunches and that's about it.
As she has got older I have to be careful.
Much like mine her digestive system is getting older.

sorry, I meant 'rare' Sunday Lunch, not something I normally do.
last night did Chicken, Sausage, plum and apple stew from Anthony Worrel, was very good.

Making Carrot and orange cake with raisins ....in the oven now and making me hungry ;D
Was just about to put some raisins on the bird table and then remembered that raisins are a big NO NO for dogs, and our birds are very messy ::)

There are plenty of veggie receipes, particularly Asian. Go the Library and browse Honeybun? (I find that if I eat red meat, usually a small piece of steak, my bowels are really slow for 3/4 days >:( )

Ellie - I've removed my comments from here regarding your wonderful carrot cake recipe. I'm sure Emma will move it if you ask her.
I hesitate to comment here about smilies as they are off topic ::) but I think a few ladies have had problems with the extra smilies.CG suggested clearing history data (on another thread) as a possible solution to a problem with notifications - might be worth a go.

You're not being thick at all, you PM her.
Actually I've thought a bit more about it, you could just copy and paste your recipe into the MM Recipe Exchange which is the first topic in "this and that" - link below
http://www.menopausematters.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,11133.0.html
Perhaps I shouldn't have said Smileys are off topic, but I was concerned about offending CLKD again. Given she thought a recipe didn't belong in this thread!

Nothing tonight.
We eat at lunch time as OH thought he was having a mouth/dental prodding about.
So we had Haddock, Crab Ravioli and petits pois.
Oh, I did eat this evening, a mocha and white chocolate chip topped muffin with a mug of decaf coffee.
I'll be looking for the cake ingredients on my next food shop on Friday :)
-
Pork loin steaks with broccoli & boiled potatoes. Hubby turned up his nose. :-\ Nearly told him to cook his own tea, but I resisted.
-
sounds good to me cubagirl.
Off to start tonights chicken stew, has things like lemon grass and baby corn in it - another one from Anthony Worrel, I like his stew book.
No cakes today, last nights boiled fruit cake looking good, it said to leave till today to cut.
-
Tonight is Chilli con carne. Hubby's choice. Not one I like too much, but after last night thought I should give himself a choice. ::)
-
I wasn't upset at all ;D but do like threads to 'run' appropriately ::). Also, the recipe won't get lost ;).
DH is going to do steak, mushrooms and chips ….. I don't think that my taste buds are affected yet by the Germ ;)
I love chilly con carne but can't digest the beans any more ::)
Cubagirl - did Hubby make some toast then ?
2-morrow we should be out for the day so will probably eat at lunch time

Mac and cheese tonight with salad for DD and me. Mussels in white wine for hubby.

What's 'mac' ? :-\
We used to collect shell fish, cook and eat when we stayed on the coast. Can't face it these days ::)

Macaroni CLKD.
Hubby loves seafood in all its many forms but I'm not keen on mussels or oysters. I seem to have a bit of a reaction to them so I avoid.
Honeybun

I could never fancy oysters, we were in Essex - home of the UK oyster apparently - recently, but I avoid any shell fish that I haven't collected myself ;)
Love macaroni cheese and Welsh rarebit …….

Ooh haven't made myself DF Mac & cheese for ages. Hubby has always loathed the stuff so I tend to have at lunchtime when he's at work.
-
fish fingers :)
-
In a sandwich TC with tomato sauce.....yummy.
I have been known to make chips, butter two slices of unhealthy white bread, put chips on top of bread....carefully arranged....tomato sauce and salt and munch.
If anyone wants a recipe for a chip butty ::).....just ask.

The salt is crucial, now which do you favour, ground sea salt or ordinary table salt? ::)
Tonight we had cheat/idle fish pie and petits pois ;D

Never ever had a fish finger sandwich or a chip butty. Not something that appeals to me. However, never say never. ;)

Sorry CLKD , I know your situation is a little different.
But after having cooked for 30 + years, and having done it for a living too, I am totally and utterly sick of doing meals for others. If your hubby tells you deferrently he is telling fibs.
If I had a break for a year then I might feel differently, but heavens I am sick of it.
Honeybun
X
-
:o Honeybun, that's below the belt.
He enjoys cooking ………. he loves me therefore he cooks ;). If he lived alone he would cook so he makes double. We go out to eat a lot more than we did years ago, usually to meet with friends or when I make the suggestion. He's also a Chemist and all the Chemists were know, cook ::).
-
Sorry, it really wasn't meant that way at all. I'm not just talking about you and hubby. It's most women I think....well at some point.
If you do the same thing day in day out you get fed up with it, so therefore it drives you up the pole.
Trying to think what to cook, every single day. Others sitting waiting to have it put in front of them. Heck anyone would get fed up with that.
It's got nothing to do with love...if I lived alone I probably wouldn't bother to the same extent I do now.
Honeybun
X
-
;D I wouldn't bother. I would be the old lady with the single packet of prepared mixed carrots, beans, sweet corn to last a couple of days. I checked: his reply "Why would I be fed up cooking for you?". You can ask when we visit ;)
Being 2 of us we decide mid-afternoon what to eat ……. sometimes he will make Cornish pasties etc. and freeze and there's usually trout to smoke if necessary.
-
If my hubby asked me that I would probably tell him because I've been doing it for 30 odd years.

Since he retired my hubby has quite taken to cooking, he makes all our bread, yogurt and does a lovely lasagne. His latest venture is buttermilk scones. I do have to do all the thinking about what to have and make sure we have all we need+ the washing up but it does make a change when he cooks. I do get fed up of planning meals, I seem to have been doing it for years-well 44 to be exact- Tonight we had pork medallions with new potatoes and veg in a honey and mustard sauce followed by strawberries and yoghurt.

ME, ME, ME! I'm afraid I repeat a lot of meals week in week out because I get so fed up trying to think what to make. My son likes proper cooking- by that I mean recipes that require lots of faffing about ( he watches too many cooking shows :P :P) and my husband only likes really plain food with no seasoning. So I always cook two meals apart from mid week which is a " sausage roast" as I call it and Sundays if we have a proper roast.
My husband has never ever cooked a meal :-*
I once asked my husband at breakfast what he wanted for dinner and he said " I can't think about that now!" and I said "Well I have to!"
I go to bed thinking what to have for dinner next day ::)

Little steps ;D

Preparing & cooking meals bores me too.
However, tonight I'm cooking pork fillet with apple sauce, roast potatoes & parsnips. Haven't cooked pork fillet in yonks.

No planning required tonight thank goodness, it's pizza ( which is an occasional treat for us), salad and garlic bread followed by summer pudding courtesy of Waitrose. Just got to work out next weeks meals now😟 .

Pizza at lunch time
Steak, chips (we had to go to the farm for the spuds) and mushrooms
-
It's not so much the cooking,although that's bad enough,it's the thinking of new ideas ! :-\
I tend to do the same repetition week in week out ,when I ask DH what do you fancy for dinner he just says I'm not fussed
Grrrr >:( not helpful
That's why this topic is good seeing what others have gives me New ideas.......which I then forget ! ;D
It's our anniversary so having Chinese take away so got out of cooking again ;)
-
:congrats: ……….. what's wrong with eating the same every week, i.e. Monday left overs from Sunday; Tuesday bubble and squeak; ………. it makes shopping so much easier too!
-
Thank you :)
-
My mum cooked same week in week out. Saturday & Sunday was a roast usually beef, Monday was leftovers, Tuesday & Wednesday mince or stew, Thurday was soup & pudding day, Friday was fish. There was little deviation over the years.
Tomorrow I'm cooking steak & kidney with puff pastry.
-
Baked again....Lemon and Orange Drizzle cake.....
-
Smoked salmon with avocado and prawn salad for us tonight.
It's the thinking of new things. Hubby rarely suggests anything. So I have to come up with ideas.
I go through phases when I really like to cook, and then there are the phases when I can't be bothered.
The thing that really annoys me....I trained as a chef and cooked for a living for a good few years off and on. I did a lot of private stuff, anniversaries, christenings, funerals. I also did every family occasion.
My wider family volunteer me...oh. ...Honeybun enjoys it...she will do it for you. I'm committed before I have a chance to say no.
Recently it has stopped because I have told them....no Honeybun does not enjoy it anymore. Find another caterer that you have to pay for ::)
Ok ....mini rant over ;D
Honeybun

Doesn't sound like a rant to me HB.
Reasoned analysis more like ;)

Just done roast chicken and stuff
Fortunately I only cook 3 days out of 7 (my husband does Mon - Thurs usually) so I don't have to think of much. I'm still working part-time although I could easily cook another day - my H enjoys it though so I'm not saying anything! I do a roast or BBQ depending on season, on one day, some sort of fishy thing on another (usually have plenty of fairly fresh caught stuff in the freezer) so only one day to think about. I agree this is the worst part - year in year out thinking of what to cook for all the children and feed the hordes with something that appealed - I'm cooked out!
Hurdity x

Good phrase Hurdity and describes it exactly....cooked out. That's the way I feel.
Mind you, one industrial catering job I had.....I was part of a team of chefs who cooked for 500 men per day......now then I was definitely cooked out ;D
I hate being volunteered.....I did my neices wedding, and as far as I'm concerned....I'm done. No more thanks.

DH did lots of hand cut chips - too many really. So I ate those and half my beef for lunch as I was full up ;). Cold with some home made pickle will do nicely thanks. Because of the way Mums shopped in the 1940s/50s/60s - various vans called with stuff, i.e. wet fish man on Friday, into town on Sat. for fresh meat for Sunday roast; bread twice a week, milk every morning - what to decide on for each meal was pretty much determined as there wasn't the refridgeration we rely upon now. She had a marble cold slab in the pantry for cooked meats, butter; milk was kept in a pail in the shade and water changed often ......... then Supermkarets were invented ::)
-
Duck breast and pilaf last night. Chicken Pilaf tonight. very easy, in the 101 suppers cook books.
I choose my recipies before shopping day, usually 5 from tough to easy, a couple of straight forward meals and hope for DH to volunteer a take out too - so not too tough, my books are all easy too. I do a lot of soups and slow cooked things, gives me more free time.
Sweet stuff once or twice a week.. also make my own bread now... not sure how long this will last, of course one of my main reasons is the cooking stops me 'thinking'.

Shop bought Pizza with home made bread which was spread with garlic - cooked in the oven so really crispy, had to watch me teeef ::)

I cut up the potatoes and carrots before I went out to teach this afternoon. When I got back, Hubby had cooked them up and heated the remaining sweetcorn, grilled the turkey steaks and added a yummy cheese sauce to the whole show. We do this division-of-labour thing every working day and it works! :)

some nice meals going on here.
I made our loaf in the bread maker today. Also made some orange flavour biscuits for weekend.
Going out tonight so fish n chips after I get back with dog :)

This takes time patience and forward planning. It also takes all my skill....
Egg chips bacon and beans.....and hubby fries the eggs as mine always break ;D
Oh with bread and butter so might have a bit of a chip buttie.
Heck I know how to live ;D
In my defence we are having duck breasts for dinner tomorrow.
Honeybun

I have the duck breasts in fridge for in week, they were good, enjoy HB.
Loaf is just a large white Sparkle, the wholemeal is a bit too filing and they had no brown bread flour in tesco this week. So though I am not really keen on white health wise, its better than a shop bought one :)
-
Was OK for anyone worried ;D
Pizza in the oven for quickness, late in this evening.
-
5 spice lamb in slow cooker for later, brown loaf in bread maker, first (poor) attempt at shortbread cooling in tray... think that may need more practice.
-
If you add some ground almonds to shortbread then it helps makes it crunchy. Try not to over work it and don't use a rolling pin. If you are using a tin to bake then press it gently in with your fingers and then smooth with the back of a spoon. Then **** it gently with a fork. It's easy to overbake so take it out when it just starts to turn colour. It crisps up as it cools.
I can fish out a recipe for you if you want......Scotland is the home of shortbread ;D

200g butter
100g castor sugar
50g ground almonds
200g plain flour
50g cornflour

I have come back here as 'finally' located the ground almonds so I can do 'take 2' of the shortbread later, will let you know how it goes. Just writing down above recipe now :)

shortbread in oven, was just wondering how long to leave it in tin.. read back and see to add caster sugar when comes out of oven.. will do :)

bum, missed this. I let it cool first. Anyway, looks good so far - made enough and all cut up nicely without breaking up into a zillion bits like last time. DH will do the taste test but looks good enough to me, thank you so much for your help :)
-
Oh we sure do know how to make shortbread! Think my mum used to add rice flour as opposed to ground almonds in hers, but could be wrong. Might make some this year. Christmas cake is waste of time for hubby & I. Nobody else will eat it. Even hubby peels off the marzipan as he hates the stuff. So I end up with piles of marzipan & he gets cake. Maybe buy a slab to keep him happy. ;D

That would be my choice too Prajna, but not hubby's. Will probably do some mince pies instead. They're never wasted. :)

Cold curry reminds me of student days ;D.......I prefer it hot.
Scampi for us tonight.

-
The Indians never keep curry …….. but we find that if it's kept it absorbs the flavours etc. …… so eaten hot the first night then cold 2/3 nights. We had it cold for lunch 2-day ;)
-
Parsnips from the Supermarket ;)
Curry gone …… stuffed now!
-
Our parsnip germination rate was dire this year …….. we like them roasted and crispy ;)
-
The only thing that did really well and did not bolt was kale....I'm sick of kale ::)
Our carrots got root fly, our potatoes had scab, our beetroot bolted....mostly due to me wanting to try heritage seeds. Cost a flamin fortune and were rubbish.
Lesson learned.....stick with what I know works.
My tomatoes were ok though, but again I tried weird stuff....next year it will be the stuff I know works.

-
Never eaten kale ………..
-
I still have loads....want some.......and why are you eating parsnips before the first frosts....much better flavour.

-
I'll pass on the kale - thanks ;D ……… we eat our produce when it's ready - sprouts however have to be frosted to be enjoyable …….. I love 'em ;): into salted water, bring to the boil, simmer briefly and turn off …..
-
Parsnips are much better after they have been frosted.
I make crisps with them....yummy .

Steak & Kidney casserole. Steamed syrup pudding. Unfortunately pudding is stuck in the pan. Can't get pot lid off, not even with a screw driver. :'( :'( :'(
-
DH did filet steak with chips, mushrooms and peas last night; he is busy preparing beef burgers and chopping fresh cabbage 'on the side'. I'm stuffed even before we eat ;D
-
I had a baked potato.
-
Quick tea tonight and fairly soft after my filling. Sausages, mash and peas
-
Himself is busy with sausages, chiplatoas, onions, spud mash and sprouts - can you smell it cooking?
-
As we had lunch out we just having a pizza,as soon as the shopping gets delivered ! ;D
-
Stew and dumplings for us
-
We had duck in plum sauce with peas & mini roasties, followed by apple crumble & custard.
-
8) :-* ………. feet up now?
-
Due to anxiety ………. last night DH cooked fillet steak, peas, mash - so to keep everything ticking over and because I fancy the same, he's in the kitchen preparing the same. Once I find a safe food I tend to stick with it :-\ so that I don't get to feeling worse. I think that I'm hungry ???
-
My night off tonight, tomorrow and Sunday.... I cook Monday to Thursday.
Trouble is , baby grandson was born this morning and i haven't been food shopping!
-
Oh - new baby thread ?
-
Why not :)
-
We've several 'due dates' here - OK you start? then others will join in ;)
-
Himself has been busy all afternoon preparing pasties ……….
-
Total one off tonight ..... Hubby is making tea as I'm still slightly woozy from sedation.
He is making the only thing he's any good at ..... Bacon, eggs, mushrooms, toast and baked beans. ;D
-
CLKD can you send two down this way ;)
Tuna pasta bake for us
-
Meet U half way ;D - you can probably smell 'em ………..
He cooked 11 al2gether :-*
-
The last 1 of our home grown chickens - weighs over 5lb dressed :o - think it will be like C.mas: hot/cold/curried …….. ;D
-
Chicken & potato hash, at least that's what recipe calls it. ;)
-
Sausage casserole, cauli cheese and peas.
-
I love cauliflower but it upsets my bowel with intense pain ………. :-\ so another meal, cauliflower cheese, is now off the menu.
-

I'd be lost without cauli as I don't eat rice, pasta, potatoes etc.
-
Salmon salad and jacket spud
-
Baked potatoes and turkey mince
-
I am about to make a pasta sauce including sausages, onion, tomato, cauliflower and sweetcorn. :)
-
Spag Bol tonight!
-
Lasagne and cherry tomatoes
-
Well, hopefully none of your meals were as tuff as our chicken turned out to be :D
Tasty, fatty, very little meat and tuff - she was 3 years old though :-\ - Himself will make soup with the gravy, bones and any meat left over which I think will need to go into the slow cooker ::)
-
That's a shame, CLKD......... ???
-
tasty but tuff ;D - not unexpected but yep, a bit disappointing ….. I had to eat more veg. including mashed swede :-X
-
You'll have to get himself to try this way of cooking an old chicken next time CLKD. My mum used to be a dab hand at cooking "stewing chicken" as she called any chickens over a year old http://www.waldeneffect.org/blog/Traditional_way_to_cook_an_old_chicken/
We had chicken on Friday. It was very tender but probably not as tasty as your tough one! Mind you it was only three months old I guess!
Taz x
-
Thanks. This was a registered Bluebell, a large breed that we bought for eggs, they don't lay all year round like the hybrids did. When we were left with 2 healthy birds and when our circumstances altered, we culled both - her sister wasn't tough at all. Apparently a soup is in the offing :-\ - I will suggest that he puts it into the slow cooker ;D
-
Just had full Sunday roast - chicken, potatoes, carrots, red cabbage and gravy, followed by strudel and custard. I love getting back home to the smell of a roasting joint!
-
After work went to Pizza hut had loads of turns at the salad bar because they only had kiddy bowls left ! ::)
-
Slow cooked lamb shoulder, cauli cheese, roast swede, roast spud for other half, broccoli, carrots and green beans. Dinner plated up for himself for tomorrow as I'll be pub quizzing.
-
Well the breast meat is less tough and went well with freshly cooked veggies . ;)
-
Who culls the chickens :) I cannot imagine eating anything with a name....
-
Nothing!! Pub quiz night so off to Spoons. Probably steak ,salad , and coleslaw.
-
Steak,jacket spud and salad here
-
DH does the culling. None left now. We bred rabbits for the table years ago, crikey over 30 years ago :o - the adults had named but I couldn't be bothered giving names to 11+ baby bunnies ;D
This evening DH put 2 pasties into the microwave, heated them through to Very Hot - now stuffed ;)
-
Doesnt the micro make the pastry go " soggy " ? :-\
-
Not really, it's in and out quite quickly and it's going to be flakey when cut ;)
-
That's Ok then........can't be doing with soggy bottoms !
;D
-
;D …… you're too late for 1 tonight ::). Give us time to get one de-frosted …...
-
Better yet ,give us the heads up next time DH makes some I'll have a fresh one ! ;D
-
Get on your cycle then ;D - it'll be about 3 months as we have 9 in the freezer ;)
-
Oh bother ::)
-
:lol:
-
Not really, it's in and out quite quickly and it's going to be flakey when cut ;)
Not quite sure what we are talking about here....
Taz x ;D
-
Tonight it was haggis! Only thing to eat on Burn's night! ;D
-
Chicken stew in the slow cooker.
Chucked anything in I had left over. Fingers crossed.

Home made cottage pie,broccoli,and sprouts.
-
I was so hungry at lunch time that I ate a WHOLE Pizza :o
Himself is putting together tinned tomatoes, chopped garlic, peas, mixed with pasta …...
-
Piggy ::)
-
:rofl: oh that's broken my dream :D
-
:-X :P ;D and enjoyed every piece - 3/4 at lunch time, the remainder during the afternoon 'cos I knew it was there :D
-
I ate a whole pizza on Saturday night. Yummy it was too.
Tonight I did grilled salmon and salad. Still nibbly ::)
Galadriel x

Cooking shepherds pie at the moment, potatoes done carrots boiled. But having rest at moment .
-
Have eaten a Cornish pasty. Stuffed now. No idea what's for supper.
-
Im not cooking tonight......
A friend cooked us a mousaka as she spent many years living in Greece so can't wait to try it !
-
Nothing nothing nothing.
Got taken out for lunch ;D
-
;D
Himself is making beef burgers ……...
-
We just had pork & black pudding sausages with mash & beans. Sausages were yuck!
-
:-X ………… black pudding …….. should be served sliced but never as sausages ;-)
-
Hubby had made beef and tomato stew last night for tonight and it was in a pot on the cooker, but with my meno brain i forgot all about it and never even saw it when i put a couple of slimming world meals in the oven ::) ::)
-
'doing silly things' ;D
-
Yeah, i thought my post could fit there too 😂
-
My friend had lost something the other day, I can't remember what it was but I did suggest that she looks in the oven ::)
-
Agreed CLKD, but thought I'd give them a try. Will buy my black pudding sliced in future. Don't buy it often, as most have milk in them.
-
My hubby teaches violin on Tuesday evenings, so I make myself a "me" tea. Tonight, it was sausages (Hubby doesn't like sausages, for some reason I will never understand!), pots, veg and gherkins, all washed down with a lovely glass of Retsina. :P
-
Bcause we knew we would be tired today Himself cooked enough curry for 3 meals - so it will be heated through with boiled rice to which I will add a slab of butter and some chutney.
-
Thai take-away.
-
Stroganoff , tenderstem broccoli and green beans. rice for them that can eat it.
-
What's kale like? never knowingly eaten it.
-
Nothing! Still away on holiday so not my problem!! ;D
-
Love curly kale especially with mashed potatoes and nice gravy.
Tonight we have a leek and stilton tart that I made earlier with left over spiced cauliflower that we made yesterday. We'll finish up the Dorset Apple cake too.
Tomorrow my husband is going to make us a vegetarian curry :)
-
Like spring cabbage but curly ;D
Pizza and salad for us
-
;D - fried or boiled ?
-
Cheese. Made chiilli but so many hot flushes and belly like a poisoned pup , as my nana used to say that I decided cheese was a better option. So I had cheese for lunch with ham and sane for tea. Now I'm starving so may have to send for more cheese.
-
I haven't been able to eat chilli-con-carne for years or baked beans - not worth the risk of feeling really ill afterwards :sigh:.

Wensleydale??!
Steamed for me! ;D
S x
;D - fried or boiled ?
Strangely despite loving cheese, I'm not fond of Wensleydale or Caerphilly. Too dry and crumbly I find. I've some hide blue cheese or smoked lurking if I can persuade mr ethyl to fetch some after his shower. He makes a rubbish nurse.
-
Fish and chips followed by Gaviscon for pudding!
-
Lol
-
.....lunchtime, actually! Roast pork rubbed with Italian herb and garlic mix, followed by apple strudel with either ice cream or custard - or both!
-
awww I love ice cream on hot custard, especially bananas and custard. Hubby thinks I'm weird. I also like cheese and marmalade together.
He is making us a vegetarian curry for lunch as we type :)
-
Moroccan pork
-
Chilli that I didn't eat yesterday with cheese, coleslaw and lettuce. And some banned substance( aka bit of french bread) as feeling weepy and in need of cheer. Should also have been topped with avocado but despite it ripening it at home for 3 times the prescribed ripening time, it was still as hard as the hobs of hell as my nana Doris used to say.
-
Toast :-\
-
Night off - leftovers :)
-
Pork chops et el !
-
Mince mix with rice (see other thread)
-
Day 2 of five day juice
-
Does anyone know why Jewish Chicken Soup works :-\ and is there a general receipe?
-
Works for what exactly? http://www.goodfood.com.au/good-health/immunityboosting-chicken-soup-20140611-39xhp.html

Toad in the hole.
-
Oh nice dyan not had that since January due to the flour and my low card eating ! Were having roast chicken breasts with cream cheese and a,whole pile of various veg
-
Lamb meatballs, passata, rice and veg
Glass of wine to celebrate our new upstairs loo and shower unit! :drunk:
-
Seven hour lamb, gruyere potato gratin, tender stem broccoli, shredded cabbage. Bang goes the diet!
-
Pasta ! Potatoes!wine! I'm so jealous , low carving does have its disadvantages ???
-
Yes but you'll be slim and gorgeous and we'll look like big fat dumplings!!
-
I wish !
-
Elizabethrose - if you have a small portion of your evening meal you'll be fine! Any left overs?
Thanks Taz - will catch up later.
-
Yep I know CLKD, but who can resist a second portion of potato gratin? (Not my husband!)
Huge leg of lamb so lots left, won't have to cook tomorrow now. Tried and trusted BBC recipe, utterly delicious!
-
Curry next then ;D
-
Roasted veg and sausages.
-
Just me, so cauliflower cheese :D
-
Salmon steaks, jersey Royal potatoes, salad and homemade mango salsa.
-
Curried chicken drum-sticks with steamed broccoli on the side and home grown runner/French beans …….. can you smell it ;)
-
Bubble and Squeak :)
-
OOOOHHH - what time ;D
-
OOOOHHH - what time ;D
About 6pm ;D
-
Oh, I'll be spreading jam and cream onto scones for 50 people ::) :D
-
Lovely,save me one CLKD ,oh best make it two to be on the safe side please ;)
-
You'll need it this week !
-
We sure will ! How people move time after time is beyond me :-\
-
No clutter ? Have you grub to heat up when you arrive ……. some of those camping boil in a bag are useful, pour a kettle into an opened curry i.e. leave for 8 mins., eat.
-
Why is it: that the bits left in my teeth always turn out to be black pepper corns >:( ;D : Himself cooked steak with freshly picked runner beans …….
-
Quiche,salad and new potatoes
-
Are you able to eat with all the upheaval ;D
-
Meatballs in a spicy tomato sauce (made from scratch by moi - the sauce that is, not the balls).
-
Himself makes burgers: buys fresh mince, chops ginger, garlic, adds salt/pepper, sometimes mushrooms and peppers - could that work for balls?
-
That's easy nothing!! too hot!!
Having fish salad!! No cooking I'm on strike tonight!!
-
Fish salad :-\ ……….
Himself has stuck a piazza into the oven - thin crust so one bite and everyone gets a piece :D
-
Dont know yet, depends whats on the menu at restaurant ! :)
-
Pizza was really really spicy :o and we are used to spicy foods :o
What did you have Dazned?
-
Sticky duck wings,gammon,and an ice cream sundae ! :o
-
Not a tuna salad person then clkd?
Tuna in the end with mayo. Lovely!!
-
don't know, need ideas ::)
-
Hubby making ratatouille with pork chops no carbs yum
-
sounds nice that, but we would need some new potatoes or brown rice with it. Carbs are the building blocks of energy and, within reason, are necessary. We need a balance of all the food groups.
-
Homemade bacon Roly poly new pots and loads of veg tonight
-
that sounds interesting. How do you make a bacon roly poly?
-
You need Atora suet and self raising flour pinch of salt mix up with water into dough. Then roll it out as you would do normally trim edges into like square, rectangler shape. Dice an onion up put in middle of pastry then cut bacon pieces up with it. Then roll it up seal the edges and oven reg6 for 30 to 45mins.
-
that sounds really simple :)
-
It is BJ, and is smelling lovely now!!
That's the way I was taught anyway!!
-
I'm on my way Janice68 :bunny:
Sparkle my daughter is no cook or baker by any stretch of the imagination so when she made us a cake for our wedding anniversary it meant so much because it wasn't easy for her and she got her friend to help. We appreciated it so much.
-
<hands over plate > ;D
Himself will defrost and reheat a lamb curry and is making a chicken thigh curry for me ……… on a bed of rice with Mango chutney ……..
Oh, Atora - granny used that a lot - custard or treacle?
-
;D
My other half enjoyed it!! His tea was like climbing a hill! Piggy woo!!
-
we had a curry in the end, with a peshwari naan :)
-
Tuna salad - don't like salad much …….. I have to fancy tuna ::)
Stuffed full now ::)
-
Burger king on the motorway ! ;D
-
…….. with chips and a cuppa?
-
Barbecued mackerel (that my husband caught himself locally), courgettes from the garden (with onion and root ginger), runner beans and tomatoes (all from the garden) bubbled up in a pan with garlic and basil. Husband had spuds (Lidl) but I am low carb so none. All washed down with generous helping of white wine. :yes:
Hurdity x
-
Cavalo nero :o Sparky!!! - I had to look that up as I'd never heard of it!!! It sounded like a wine but realised as it was steamed that it couldn't be ;D

Oh Janice that brought back memories of my dear old Mum, Bacon roly poly was one of her specials back in the 60's.
I hated it because of the onion, I remember it being slimy & smelly. I'm sure I would love it now but as a child no way.
Cazi x
-
I have to say only make bacon Roly poly occasionally it's so fattening!! It's so quick and easy to do and have must of the ingredients in cupboards so if nothing in larder to use just whip this up instead.
-
I can't eat onions unless it's been cooked for hours+++ ::)
Heated through chicken curry on a bed of rice
-
Beans on toast ! :)
-
Big slow roast pork dinner ;)
-
Chicken salad!!
Clkd how do you get away with spicy food and your curries? only do curries or any spicy foods when I know my body can handle it better!!
-
Mmmmm roast dinner.....I would kill for a good old roastie ;D
-
We had roast chicken, ice cream and a glass of wine. Nice.
My hubby excelled himself this morning, though! We were just about to sit down to breakfast and he was making the toast. He thought the toast was smelling a bit burnt, so he went over and checked. Sure enough, one of the pieces was charring up a bit. But - instead of doing a general "cancel" before taking that piece out, he stuck a teaspoon down into the toaster, fiddled around with the offending piece of toast to try and get it out, accidentally touched the element with the spoon and caused the trip switch for all the electricity in the house (apart from the wall lights) to go to "off". Honestly, some wives do 'ave 'em, don't they!! ::) He did make a very good pot of coffee, though........
-
How stupid was that ! ::) …….. we have a live saver on our electricity board which cuts everything out. I put my fingers behind a plug once, that sizzled up to my elbow and back :o ………
Curry is soothing. Lots of good spices. If a curry is presented correctly, i.e. all foods on the table at the same time, one eats them in rotation in order to cleanse the pallet between each dish, which is what raitas are for ……. turmeric is the new 'health aid' tha knows ::). Left overnight in the fridge it absorbed the spices, served on a bed of boiled rice ….. stuffed now ;)
-
Dazned I only have potatoes once a week with Sunday dinner I allow myself three small roasties due to my low carb diet but I so enjoy them 😊 if your this way any sunday pop in ! your right about curry in fridge over night clkd what a difference to the taste yum 😋
-
I think it's an English thing, to keep curry overnight …….
-
Well all the talk about roast dinners won out !
We walked down to the local pub,down the road,over the river,flanked by two mountains bathed in sunlight and had two roast dinners ,result. ;D
How wonderful to now be able to walk in countryside instead of being in a busy,busy town . Lets hope the novelty doesnt wear off ! ;)
-
Oh the Novelty won't wear off! because the sky and scenery have a different light every moment of the day. I know, I was there ;) ……. <hands over leek < - now, I read that as two roast dinners, was that 2 each :-X :D
-
;D
No one each !
-
Glad to hear about the curries I do like them I just don't want to upset my system and make things worse for myself including hot flushes!!
But on a good day I can!!

It doesn't matter how correctly a curry is presented to me it would still mean that I wouldn't be able to leave the house next morning for quite a few hours! Mind you fruit and veg have the same effect nowadays - maybe I should just give up and eat whatever I fancy! :)

-
As a recovering anorexic I've eaten what I fancy for years ……..
It's about finding out which spices suit the gut and leave out those that don't. For a while garlic gave me heartburn but I preserved and now it's not a problem. Spices are all over India though some are used in various regions, as is the need to be vegetarian due to no cooling available for food stuffs.
We don't use Ghee, I don't like the look of it ::)
Tonight it's cold chipolata salad as a picnic ;-).
-
making chicken fried rice later. Chicken and rice already cooked ready.
-
Lamb curry and brown rice tonight!! First curry for quite along time too!!
-
Spag bol from scratch ! ::)
-
SW LAmb Dhansak from scratch with basmati rice and half a peshwari naan. Very nice it was too.
-
Lamb curry and brown rice tonight!! First curry for quite along time too!!
Ooh just seen this after I posted. Do you think it's similar to my dhansak? that's loads of carrots, sliced onions, lean diced lamb, tinned tomatoes and loads of spices.

Very much so PF but minus the tin tomatoes used tomato puree and lamb stock and everything else you used for ingredients I also did my own from scratch too. Actually did lamb Rogan Josh in the end!!
-
Just potatoes...........the rest was cold meats and salad!
-
:-\ not hungry :sigh:
-
:-\ not hungry :sigh:
I hardly know what "not hungry" means ;D. IVe lost 3 lbs this week and even though I haven't felt well I've still been eating just a bit less as I've felt a bit nauseous. We all have good appetites in this house.
-
Himself had a runny bowel a few weeks ago and lost 3lb. Probably put it back on ::)
-
Warm Greek feta salad with chicken this evening but I substitute the rice with cauliflower rice due to low carbs throw some red peppers cucumber tomato in it and the feta cheese and chicken all warm its nice and tasty
-
Simple tonight having meat and cheese salad!!!
-
Barbeque !
-
Chicken Jalfrezi from The Hairy Dieters book. Funnily enough , I find I can eat mild curries with no next day repercussions but cant tolerate ice cream or fresh cream !
-
Pork pie with mango chutney
-
Roast chicken with all the trimmings!!
-
Chicken korma with rice & poppadoms.
-
What'd fancy?
Himself is cooking a slab of trout for himself and steak for me with home grown runner/French beans :-*
-
I love Soy sauce but it makes me thirsty ::)
-
I also love soya sauce but i have thyroid issues, have heard soya interferes with thyroid functioning so I try to avoid it.
-
Could it be the salt content?
-
Our "house guests" are taking us out to dinner. There was method in my madness ! ;)
-
Barabrith then? :D
-
Cottage pie and loads of veggies!
-
I've got some Heck sausages ... Really low fat but tasty. Probably do mash and peas and green beans from someone's allotment ..... I don't mean I'm pinching them BTW . ;D... I mean we give allotment holders as much of our horse poo as they want and we then get fresh veg, eggs, raspberries, wine etc. In exchange.
-
That sounds like a good deal ;D
-
Ok there's a choice tonight.....
A good, saintly meal of pan fried salmon, lemon rice with a sauté of mange tout, sugar snap peas, asparagus tips and tender stem broccoli
or
A massive plate of homemade nachos with heaps of guacamole, refried beans, sour cream, jalapeno chillies in front of a Scandi box set?
I'm going to let my husband choose then I can blame him for me being a fat bird!
-
To be honest Sparkle I know he'll go for the first. It's just my little dream as after the week I've had I fancied being naughty!!
-
Hah, result!!! I'm chopping the avocados speedily before he changes his mind!!!
-
Garlic steaks,salad and mash.
-
Lasagne.
-
Nothing going to friends house fir food drinks later 🍸 🍴😊
-
Sausage,onions,potatoes mashed with swede,runner beans and onion sauce
-
Crikey - you'll need to do lots of walking next week ;-), half that menu would be too much for me. Himself has home caught trout with veg., he's doing me a pizza ….. At least I am hungry now.
I love mashed spud and swede mix with lashings of butter and black pepper over the top ;-). It makes good bubble and squeak too …….. :whist:
-
Its only bangers and mash with runner beans ::)
-
Fish cakes, chopped peppers and artichoke bits. My usual Saturday night sort of no-brainer tea........
-
I lost the plot and cancelled dinner, so why do I feel bad about it. what's that all about. Hubby can cook but chooses not to, preferring to open himself a can of beans on toast, and I am the one who feels bad ::).
-
Smoked salmon fillets, green beans cooked Raymond Blanc's way on TV :) and potatoes. Now Hubby's gone out to get us some choccies, 'cos we were both craving some........ ::)
-
Hunted out our nearest chinese takeaway ! Have to put money into the local community ;D
It was delicious ! Far better than the one back South and £10 cheaper to boot !!
-
Chicken cacciatori, hugely garlicky saute potatoes, steamed cabbage and french beans. Smells good, lets hope it tastes as good!
-
Ooh, a really easy go to! Hunter's chicken, every country has it's own version. Chicken, onion, garlic, loads of mushrooms, tomatoes, wine and herbs. Utterly delicious and easily varied as it takes your fancy! xx
-
Home alone! :hapij:
Early supper; grilled portabello mushrooms and tomatoes and a poached egg on grilled sourdough, delicious! Oh, and a white nectarine a juicy fat pear and a mug of jasmine tea. Hah, life is good!! Where's my book? x
-
Mmmm, yummy! Shame I wasn't invited! ;) Enjoy! x
-
Curry: choice of chicken or lamb; with a tomato mix with chilly so hot :o on a bed of rice.
-
Not much time so breakfast !
Fresh eggs from the chooks down the lane,back bacon from my friends farm (no white stuff coming out on grill pan ) ;
Beans from Tescos ;D
Forgot blackberry pie I made with DHs successful foraging trip produce ! ::)
-
That reminds me of the morning that Mum was cooking bacon, eggs and toast with the back door open when a piglet wandered in, wandered out again …… we never found where it had escaped from ::) ;D
-
:lol: none of us were quick enough to catch it, probably aged about 9 weeks it would have made an interesting pet.
-
Home made meatballs with tomato sauce and whole-wheat spaghetti
and of course garlic bread !!
-
Heated through curry with newly cooked rice and chutneys
-
Pork chops,mash pots with swede,broccoli and cabbage.
Rhubarb crumble and custard for pud.
-
Salmon, scallops and prawn linguini and salad. Gu chocolate ganache pud for hubby, nought for me! :ange:
-
I rang son and asked him to peel spuds and turn oven on as I was running late.
Then I made SW chips, steak, mango salsa, big bowl of salad.
-
? SW chips? ……………. heated through curry, on a bed of rice with butter melted, beside a very hot tomato/ginger/garlic mix
-
Toad in the hole with low fat sausage's. My family will be moaning they like full fatted sausage's haha!! Mash and peas!
-
? SW chips? ……………. heated through curry, on a bed of rice with butter melted, beside a very hot tomato/ginger/garlic mix
I think 'SW' stands for Slimming World.
-
I thought it was a special way of cooking chips, known only to those living in the South West....... ;D
-
;D - Slim Whitman chips ?
reheated curry with rice ………
-
Nowt. Out for meal to celebrate 39th wedding anniversary & hubby's birthday tomorrow. :)
-

Cauliflower cheese and steak
-
I can't eat cauli cheese any more :sigh:
-
Its my fav dinner ! :)
-
I loved it ……… but I don't touch it these days.
-
Just made a SW friendly chicken korma and very nice it was too.
-
This evening we had salmon steaks, noodles and green beans. We have this just about every Saturday, because Saturdays are always busy for me and it's a meal that involves virtually no work. ::)
-

Sounds lovely. Are you able to share the recipe?

here you are Megamind. This is the exact recipe I use. The only thing I substituted was dried ginger instead of fresh ginger as I didn't have any.

Mm lovely, thanks for the link.
-
Just had late lunch as we were out all morning. Roast pork, roast potatoes, runner beans, corn on the cob, peas and carrots and yorkshires and gravy. Rang ahead and got son to heat oven and put meat in. When we got back daughter and her boyfriend did all the veg, hubby did the apples and I made an apple crumble and custard. Son did all the dishwasher loading and then made coffees. Clean plates all round. :)
-
Great teamwork Pennyfarthing!
Beef and mushroom casserole with carrots, mashed potatoes and cavalo nero.
S x
I love casseroles and stews and have an obsession with casserole dishes! I have loads and justify by saying "that's just the right size when there are only two of us eating." Or "that one is perfect for 6".
Casseroles and stews are something to look forward to in Autumn and winter. :)
-
Having trouble eating anything at the mo due to anxiety so it will be simple mushroom pate and crusty bread with a yoghurt. Not very much I know as this is all I have eaten today but at least it is something and fairly nutritious. At the moment I am eating just whatever I can get down me (but at least not eating rubbish food). I think I may do a shop online and get back to salads and stir fries if I can. Thank goodness I just need to cook for one.
Bramble
-
Roast chicken,roasties,brussels,carrots,broccoli,bread sauce and gravey ,its Christmas ! ;D
-
Have u noted that most of you are eating 'winter warmers' - already :D
This evening Himself smoked a freshly caught trout for him and stir-fried chicken with veg. on rice for me. Stuffed now.
Bramble - have a :bighug:. Been there etc. :sigh: Graze. I use dried fruits and nuts, bananas, yoghurt, dry biscuits, small pieces of chocolate - whatever I think will go down! Also it doesn't matter if you repeat your food choice for every meal, as long as it is nourishing ;-). Can you share the anxiety?
-
Home made Chilly con carne and rice
-
Griddled marinated lamb steaks, ratatouille, spinach and garlicky flatbread - that's if I get my finger out!
-
Himself is filleting too freshly caught trout. One for grilling later, the other to marinade ready to smoke tomorrow. I'm having a steak apparently …...
-
You have the steak CLKD, I'll have that second trout! x
-
Smoked or plain? It's the smell and texture I can't tolerate, otherwise fish ain't too bad ;-)
-
Either - love fish!!
-
I know I don't eat enough fish. It's so smelly, even his 'kit' stunk last night so was hung on the line all night. All in the washer now on a 'hot' short wash.
-
I loved that too but it makes me poorly ……..
-
Nothing going to my Mum's for dinner tonight as DH away sons partner and my granddaughter are also going. I have been looking forward to this meal all day.
Lanzarote
-
Beans …… upset me awfully :-\
-
Oh dear ! that's not good.Hope you'll be feeling better soon.
Lanzalover x
-
Oh no, not recently but I learnt after many nights of wind :o.
How's your evening been?
-
Sorry I misunderstood. But glad you are well.
I have had a lovely evening dinner was fab salmon, broccoli, carrots, sprouts, new potatoes and watercress sauce followed by chocolate gateaux and cream.Did have to cook it myself as Mum was busy with her great grandughter but all the prep work had been done and the table had already been set so it wasn't any trouble, the baby sat her bouncy chair as good as gold while we ate our dinner and after I got to spend the rest of the evening with her she really is a delight she spent all night smiling.

-
What's the babe eating herself? Time to get her onto raw veg.?
-
Baby is still being breast fed at present.
She's to young at present for solid foods.

-
Chicken korma and rice for tea tonight.
-
Gammon and onion sauce
-
Re-heated chicken curry with hot rice and mango chutney
-
My version of Chili Con Carne tonight. One of my longstanding regulars but haven't made it for a few weeks. Was reminded of how much i like it when a colleague talked about it at our post work drinks yesterday. Probably served with a small jacket potato this time.
-
We had sausages, eggs and beans but I did not enjoy it and feel yuck :sick02:
-
I don't know yet - I can hear Himself rattling pans and scraping pasta into a mix of something ;)
-
Don't know yet: out for supper tonight with my book club. Six lovely ladies, all excellent cooks: it's bound to be good!
I hope you realise how lucky you are CLKD, if my husband was rattling the pans, it would only be to hint that he needed sustenance!! ;) x
-
If he didn't cook he wouldn't eat ;D, so if he's cooking for himself then he can make extra for me ……… OR ELSE :whist:
So it was stir fry mix of pasta with tomato, peas, salt, pepper and strips of stir fried beef - he had prawns.
-
Tonight I made SW version of Hunters Chicken and did rice and salad with it and it was delicious.
-
Full now then?
I have had a strange situation for a few evenings: I would eat what I know is more than usual but didn't feel full at all :-\ - in fact I ordered less on my plate the next night so that I didn't over-eat …….. same this evening, ate more than usual but no feeling of fullness ……… what's all that about then!
-
Ox cheeks, sprout colcannon, french beans and carrots. I love Autumnal food!! Smells good :)
-
Comfort food ;-)
-
Just me tonight - not decided yet whether to make chicken and chorizo pasta or not bother and have poached eggs on toast! Advantage of the pasta is it would do for lunch tomorrow too. Decisions, decisions ;D
-
Ooh if that were me Scampi, I'd go for the eggs and make the most of not having to cook and clean up as well!
-
DH out at cycle club so he is bringing in a Chinese takeaway later ! ;)
-
Daughter's staying with us this week. When I got home from teaching this afternoon, she'd made a lovely veggie/cheesy pasta bake, which was delicious. Bless her :-*
-
Oh that's nice Dulciana! We had a bit similar - as eldest son is back living with us for a bit after his travels and tonight he cooked us a risotto - recipe learnt from former Italian girlfriend - and made (for us) with various fungi collected from woods nearby - chanterelles, bay boletes and hedgehogs ( a type of fungus!) - delicious it was too. Also simple ingredients. The portions weren't big so I made baked apples (and custard at son's request!) from our orchard - so quite a lot of food from the land tonight....
Hurdity x
-
Barnsley chop with salad followed by a chocolate bar. Lovely.....
Lanzalover x
-
I dined out this evening - I'd been teaching in the afternoon and had a choir practice in the same place a bit later. So I went to a nice little cafe nearby and had a beef stir-fry. But it wasn't the usual chow mein-y sort of thing - they used wide noodles, a fancy green veg that I couldn't identify, strips of very succulent beef and a rich sauce. Really fired me up for playing. :)
-
Sounds lovely dulciana.
Lanzalover x
-
I had a large pizza 'cos I was hungry. Himself cooked a trout caught yesterday …….
-
Venison steaks in a mushroom sauce with an artichoke, avocado, pea shoot and spinach salad.
Starving at the moment, been trying to be good since a naughty week in Paris (far too much cheese, bread and pastries - if I'm honest too much of everything!!) so lunch is fruit and yogurt. It's just not enough to keep me satisfied until supper, so lots of green tea until my appetite reduces again. I find the more I eat, the more I need the next day. After a life time of being pin thin and able to eat gigantic portions of anything, this peri meno lark of easily piling on the pounds is a total bore!
Role on supper!!
-
On a run........also baked some apples with nuts, dried fruit, maple syrup and cinnamon. With the smell of this I'm now starving!!! Hubby come home already!!
-
also baked some apples with nuts, dried fruit, maple syrup and cinnamon.
Mmmm, Elizaethrose!
-
Beef and prawn satay, Thai sticky jasmine rice and a crunchy Thai salad with dressing. Trying to be less boring!
-
Oh Dear!.......Bangers and Mash :-\ Plain and simple, like the cook ;D
-
Don't you mean drop dead gorgeous ellie?!! :vibe:
Bangers and mash is my husband's favourite, you can expect him at 8?! xx
-
Well he is most welcome Elizabethrose, but the food will all be gone....beans too ;)
-
We eat far too late, doesn't help the big belly! Enjoy your supper x
-
Himself is preparing a pizza ……… adding garlic and ginger on the top. To be served hot with home made bean chutney.
What's a "Barnsley chop" - is it like a Glasgow kiss ?
-
Tonight I made chilli con carne and rice which I haven't made since last winter. It was very good if I say so myself!
-
Well, I have spent almost all afternoon (whilst teaching ) dreaming of sausages, stir-fry and some nice chilled white wine. I'm now home, Hubby's out and I'm watching TV having just consumed some really good sausages, a delicious -fry and a glass (or two!) of chilled white wine. I'm a happy bunny, I'm about to watch the Hairy Bikers cooking on TV - and I bet it'll make me get peckish all over again!
-
A Barnsley chop is a hefty slab of meat cut straight across the short saddle, so it includes a double helping of tender loin meat, complete with tasty small pieces of lamb fillet too. The whole thing is still on the bone and has a generous surrounding of fat which keeps it juicy as it cooks and adds flavour.
So nothing like a Glasgow kiss and I know which I would prefer 😀
Tonight we have had Salmon with salad followed by strawberries and low fat Greek yogurt DH on a diet at the moment so I just eat what he cooks.
I did however have a piece of lovely lemon drizzle cake this afternoon which a colleague at work had baked but resisted the offer to try the chocolate brownie. Now wishing I had brought some home as I can see the emergency cheese and crackers making an appearance later 😀😀😀😀
Lanzalover x
-
Here all day so am just starting a vat of bolognese! Antonio be warned - I'll do it my way!
-
Haha nope, most for the freezer! I was a like a squirrel yesterday, fattening up for the winter! So weird the way migs do that, even my docs don't know the reason why!
Anyway, time allowing I might even construct a lasagna otherwise penne bolognese alla Elizabethrose!
What are you cooking Sparkle? x
-
I am cooking Aldi pulled pork in BBQ sauce which is excellent and something we often have. Cook in oven for about an hour. Done jacket spuds with it and as I'm not feeling well today and just going to open some mushy peas to go with it. Can't be peeling veg today. :'(
-
Sausage casserole,mash,broccoli.
Just bought a whole lamb for freezer ;)
-
Its huge ! Out in workshop ;)
-
Menomale, I've just seen your photo and have absolutely no idea what's in that pan! I can't work out the scale at all; giant beans of some sort, nope I don't think so. Give us a clue!
I'm prepping lambs liver casserole, saute potatoes, steamed shredded spring greens, carrots and slivered flat beans. The smell of cooking bacon is truly sent by the Gods! Preparing liver, not so much!!
-
Looks like mini bread, but is pan there to confuse us? ;D
-
Lordy I don't know Cubagirl. If you zoom in there are two tiny holes in the slitty bit. I can't work out if it's a tiny tiny pan and therefore regular sized beans. I think menomale is a vegan so it's definitely veggie based.
-
Ladies, what is menomale cooking in the photo?
-
Hasty, I thought so at first glance, thought they may be sweet potatoes but when zoomed in I don't think so. Menomale, where are you?
-
Hah, think we posted at the same time! Ok, enlighten us!!
-
How do you prepare it Menomale? Is the 'nut/seed' in a shell? The article likens the flesh to citrus and cheese, is that right?
-
Roast chicken supper last night - roast chicken pie tonight with sprouts, petit pois and carrots and lashings of gravy!! Hmmmm, comfort food! (says the girl with a big belly) ;)
-
Beef casserole with celery, carrots, onions, parsley etc.
-
Hints please on making Yorkshires …….. Himself makes them but they don't rise: is it due to our fan oven :-\
-
Is oil hot enough before mixture is put in? I see mine visibly bubbling up when oil is hot enough & Yorkshire's come out perfect.
-
Do you have a 'fan' oven? I think we need a new cooker ;-)
-
I do have a fan oven, but doubt that makes a difference. Think it's more to do with making sure oil is really hot. I put the oil into muffin tin then put in oven for about 10 mins before I put in mixture.
-
Batch cooking to freeze: which dish to choose tonight? Seemed like a good idea when I started, now the kitchen looks like a bomb site and I've 4 massive pans on the go!!
-
Mmmm not sure. Trying to use up stuff so I've room at Christmas time.
-
So I'm filling the freezer and you're emptying it cubagirl! I've a house full before Christmas and I want to have prepared stuff to hand x
-
;D ;D ;D Don't worry I'll be filling it soon enough. Daughter & SIL have ordered meat etc & having it sent here. I've got some frozen veg in case I can't be bothered peeling sprouts etc come the day. ;D The supermarket will be open again on Boxing Day if I'm stuck!
-
Heated through venison stew on a bed of rice with peas.
-
Love venison! We have moussaka with a green salad tonight. x
-
What's moussaka when it's up and dressed ?
-
Oohh it's totally yummy - Greek comfort food!
Slow cooked minced lamb with cinnamon and lots of other goodies, layered between roasted aubergines and topped with a cheesy béchamel sauce with egg beaten into it to make it rise and become light and fluffy. Lamb's been cooking since about 9.30 so it's melt in the mouth tender. There's lots here if you're up for the drive! :)
-
I did oven chips, left over gammon and red cabbage for my lot but couldn't eat a morsel as I feel sick.
-
You have a lot going on PF - maybe some biscuits with a hot cuppa would suit better?
I don't like much of what is in the moussaka recipe ::) so I'll stay here in front of our fire ;-) - thanks though!
Himself did the BEST mashed spuds I have ever tasted this evening …….. :-*
-
Does anyone eat salmon?
-
Does anyone eat salmon?
[/quo
I love salmon and we have it abôut once a fortnight.
Tonight I'm just doing ham, egg and chips.
-
Do you buy farmed salmon?
I saw Moussaka being made on TV last night - don't like aubergines but it looked yummy! I think it was on the hairy Bikers
-
I'm a salmon lover, but hubby is not, so seldom bought. He does, however love smoked salmon as do I.
Tonight I'm making a one pot casserole followed apple crumble.
-
Burger in a bun, chips & salad for us.... not healthy I know & I will probably regret it later.
-
Snap Cazikins! Burgers with a mushroom sauce, spicy wedges and salad. Certainly not too healthy, but whatever, you only die once!! x
-
Locally farmed lamb chops,roast potatoes,mashed swede and potatoes,cauliflower and mushy peas.
-
Pasta bake with meatballs in it, and lots of cheese tomato and cayenne pepper on the top.
-
Haute cuisine in the Sparkle household!! ;) x
-
Needs must! Have to say I love a fish finger sandwich! x
-
Pheasant - locally shot. :)
Hurdity x
-
Monkfish and shellfish gratin with garlicky spinach, broccoli and courgettes. x
-
Depends what it tastes like! Could be...... :barf: inducing! x
-
Because my Christmas dinner tasted of salt due to chemo , I thought I'd recreate it today with a big chicken and all the trimmings , forgetting that today is exactly the same stage post chemo as Xmas day . Salty stuffing anyone?
-
Oh I hope it tastes wonderful coldethyl. Could you add more onion, blk pepper and herbs to the stuffing to try to heighten the flavours? x
-
Nothing you can do ER as it's just the effect of the chemo on the mouth cells and the metals in the drug- had to laugh at chemo session this time when he make nurse was telling one of the patients that some of it is made on site in special lab that sucks out all the dust etc because some of the products are not very nice undiluted - I had to point out that they aren't very nice diluted either!!! X
-
Absolute nightmare for you! I once had to take a drug called Topiramate which caused the brain to alter the taste of foods. Everyday foods which I loved suddenly tasted like poison, enough to make you gag! It was very difficult finding something I could put into my mouth - I really feel for you.
Hopefully your dinner will taste extraordinarily wonderful tonight! x
-
Not cooking today. Been out for lunch .... steak and scampi, chips, onion rings, tomato, peas .... only pub food but it was very good and I didn't have to cook it. ;). Followed by cherry roulade and custard.

They do tell you not to eat your favourite foods on chemo as you will be put off for life. I could happily suck ice loliies all day hut being diabetic that isn't a great plan.
I've just stuck the chicken in oven and made some bacon thingies - they smell nice if nothing else x
-

The not having to cook it bit makes everything taste that much better , I find. I always have gammon and eggs when we go out as mr ethyl doesn't like it so I don't cook it at home and it's lovely just to have dinner out in front of me.
-
Baked potatoes under the grate in the ashes ;-)
Tamoxifen altered my senses of smell and taste ...... everything was acute to the point that I could taste the spoonful of water that Himself had added to the Dundee cake mix; even though the cake was in a tin with lid fast on in a pantry behind a closed door >:(
The Pill took away my sense of smell.
-
Roast sirloin joint,brussels,carrots,mash and roasties.
-
For lunch, we had roast chicken, roast parsnips with carrots, and roast potatoes. Pudding was apple strudel and vanilla ice cream.
-
cashew nut and mushroom roast with roast potatoes and stir fry of carrot, onion, celery and red pepper followed by rice pudding :)
-
On my way ;D - Wales first for the apple strudel and then ........
Stuffed now - hot baked spuds from under the ashes, cold roasted chicken and home made chutney
-
Mine was surprisingly tasty so win win - so stuffed now I've had to lie down again - Mr e on washing up duty - He has discovered all manner of hitherto unexplored kitchen skills since my diagnosis ;-)
-
Does MrE do dusting ? ;)

Tonight we had haggis, mashed tatties & mashed squash. Then rest of last night's apple crumble with custard.
-
How long were you catching the haggis, probably the 'right' weather - they'll be out in the snow ;-)
-
Tonight I'm home alone, and there's a fillet steak in the fridge! So I'm going to slice it up and do it with onions and mushrooms in a sauce made from stock, paprika and Quark - served with rice it will be a yummy 0-Syn alternative to a creamy stroganoff :)
-
Grilled salmon with a chilli and ginger sauce, lemon rice and a selection of veggies but yours sounds so much more interesting Scampi! x
-
ER, keep it warm, I'm on my way. ;D ;D ;D I love salmon, but hubby not a lover of it apart from smoked.
So, I'm making sweet & sour chicken.
-
So back to my question about those who buy salmon - please avoid 'farmed' even if it means paying more for line caught :'( - salmon are a migratory species and this instinct is being denied, also many farms are PLAGUED with lice which means the fish have to be treated with chemicals ........ which they can't swim away from.
Many years ago a well known rock star went North and bought a fish farm, he was so disgusted with what he found he sold up.
Find a fisherman in your area, most of us have fish 'over' to requirements and will be happy to either give or sell if approached. These are fish that are grown in good conditions and put into lakes to swim free ....... not all are savvy enough to avoid the hooks though these are barbless which means that they are able to escape!
Tonight: Himself is smoking 2 large line caught trout and I'm having a chicken curry
-
An extra place is set cubagirl, I'd set off now though if I were you!!
I buy wild salmon CLKD from a brilliant local fishmonger but you're right it is much more expensive. I think it has a stronger flavour, probably because it's had to work harder! x
-
Well Done :medal: Elizabethrose
Himself is now washing his smoker, he will then take the lot to his Cabin and set fire to it, putting the marinated fish into smoke. Lovely warmed through with freshly made bread ;-)
-
Now that I would travel for!! I had a smoked trout salad for lunch yesterday but yours, freshly caught, home smoked, that sounds ab fab!! x
-
Feel well enough to go to quiz so will be eating there - they do a mean shin beef shepherd's pie with leeks so probably that x
-
Oh that sounds delicious..... except I can't eat onions ::) but leeks with plenty of butter and black pepper over ;-)
-
Whoa, I've got to stop reading this thread, I want what everyone else is having!
-
:lol:
-
Ok after a couple of sessions on here of 'the grass is greener', tonight I'm doing comfort food!!
Roasted stuffed chicken, roasted pots, mashed parsnip, shredded spring greens, carrots, corn and thick yummy gravy!! Whoop whoop! :)
-
Hah, on a roll......... just prepared some baked apples stuffed with chopped walnuts, raisins, cinnamon and maple syrup too. I suppose I'd better be back on the fish tomorrow!
Sparkle, is the spag Bol not possible? :(
-
Cheese-stuffed chicken breasts wrapped in Parma ham tonight, with baby potatoes and broccoli.
-
soup and slop - hubby has had an uncomfortable dental procedure :(
Fortunately he is no longer dribbling as the injection has worn off.
-
babyjane, do you get the soup and he gets the slop?! ;D (What is slop??)
-
no elizabethrose, we both have soup and then something semi solid tonight (sloppy), probably mashed potatoes with scrambled egg and perhaps some tinned rice pudding with jam that's easy to swalllow with minimal chewing. Tomorrow will be a slow cooked casserole then he should be ok by Thursday :)
-
....... not corgettes then? though I never think of these as a Winter veg., in the Summer we have trouble getting rid of them ::)
-
Last night I was at a Nick Nairn cookschool. Made Beef Wellington. So yummy.
-
Sounds good, cubagirl. Is that somewhere in Glasgow?
Tonight, we had fishcakes (out of a packet ;)) and wok'd veg (out of a wok)
-
Pork chops
-
Chinese
-
Aberdeen Dulciana, though he has a few scattered around.
Tonight it was Chinese.
-
After almost choking me last night Himself defrosted ready made curry and now I'm stuffed ::)
Even the cat wouldn't eat last night's meal ;D
-
Salmon and shellfish linguini and a salad.
-
Grilled lamb chump chops with mash, broccoli & cauliflower....
-
Cottage pie, with turnip ( swede) and carrot cheesy mash and beetroot for me, baked beans for himself- miss baked beans but even the low sugar ones spike my blood sugars and don't think Percy the stoma would like them much either.
-
Just prepped, broccoli, spinach and cauli pasta bake and some spiced plums in marsala.
-
Roast chicken,brussels,broccoli,roast potatoes and parsnips,gravey,stuffing and bread sauce
-
........ and dust? ;)
Himself is making pancakes as I'm iffy again :sigh:
-
:gym: tell your DH that I love pancakes ! :clapping:
-
I managed 1 and a half but am now queasy :'(
-
Falafel, tzatziki, greek salad and flat bread.
-
quick tea, the other half of a home made quiche with stir fry as we are going out early evening
-
Himself has prepared lots of curry.
-
homemade spag bol
-
black bean and vegetarian sausage casserole.
Made a crumble for tomorrow as we are expecting lunch guests but we don't normally eat pudding ourselves
-
Jamaican mango chicken & lemon meringue pie.
-
Take away tonight
-
Baked potatoes and.....................an hour and a half to decide, before Hubby gets back :)
-
Thought I'd give this a try tonight;
https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/feb/04/slow-cooked-chicken-recipes-yotam-ottolenghi-pasta-braised-celeriac-stew
Very slow-braised chicken with celeriac and lemon (bottom recipe). I do like Yotam Ottolenghi's food but sometimes the ingredient list for his recipes borders on the ridiculous, this is manageable! I have a larder bursting with little used ingredients!
-

That sounds lovely. Must try it next week as I've a forlorn celeriac in the veg rack.
-
Just waiting for an Indian curry to be delivered! :)
-
The 2nd half of the homemade soup from yesterday (celery, cauliflower and a mixture of barley/lentils/beans with pancetta). Also cooking a couple of sausages to take as part of a packed lunch on a walk tomorrow.
-
Left-over curry for me tonight - yesterday I made chicken tikka masala, mushroom and saffron pilau rice, and onion bhajis - all Slimming World recipes and only the bhajis have Syns (1 each)! I love my curry, and this was even better for being totally guilt-free! I've been thinking about it all day, and I'm soooo looking forward to it.
-
I find chicken curry soothing. Himself made lots over the weekend so there was some last night with freshly cooked rice. He's making beef burgers tonight.
-
I have slow cooked pork belly with ratatouille and jacket pots. Lots of lovely aromas floating around!
-
Mmm my mouths watering !
Took a homemade cottge pie out of freezer earlier will have it with sprouts and broccoli.
-
Hah, lots here, bit of a drive though! ;)
-
Stuffed and un-comfortable now :sigh:

Ooohhh ... another SW lady! I use the SW Curry Heaven book all the time but Saturday night we had a treat and had a very nonSW takeaway.
I also use the Extra Easy All in One cook book a lot. I think I've made most recipes in there and the whole family eat them and don't even realise!
Tonight I made SW chips, local ham and egg. I made a big pan of SW friendly red cabbage with red onion, apples etc and that is delicious. I've made it for donkeys years but used to use brown sugar. Now I use artificial sweetener and it's just as nice.
How much have you lost? I started last June but I lose very slowly and am on one stone five pounds. Some people have lost four and five stones in that time but I never lose weight fast.
-
I'm loving SW, Pennyfarthing! I joined in October last year and have lost 1st 10lbs. I've had a couple of dodgy weeks recently where I have gained a pound (one I deserved ... huge 3-course pub lunch for my MIL's 80th birthday - so worth it!), but I feel like I'm back to losing this week. But I have a lot to lose, and it didn't all go on overnight, so it won't come off quickly either. I love the plan and find it so much easier to follow that Weight Watchers (I got obsessed with counting points - and not in a good way). And any eating plan (don't like the word 'diet' - it implies that one day I'll stop, and I don't intend to!) that lets me eat curry, chips and full cooked breakfast with absolutely no guilt suits me!
-
Toad in the hole, shredded cabbage, carrots, corn, french beans and onion gravy.
-
Boo:)
In my house i'm cooling for homeless folks in the city of Norwich.
Fritatta, cray fish tails and tuna pasta in cheese sauce and apple crumbles in sweet pastry cases........we get almost all the food donated so hence the combinations...

Bambi in the slow cooker with roasted squash and steamed broccoli [which I love raw :D]

What is Bambi :-\

venison?
-
Probably muntjac as the flavour isn't as strong as the larger deer. Can you smell it ?
-
no and don't really want to :-X
-
;D. thought that would be your reply .......... :whist: - you'd have the squash and broccoli though the latter with black pepper and butter?
-
any amount you care to share my dear :)
-
I'll get my cycle out and put some into a Vaccuum ....... see the kettles already on but it may require a fresh boil when I arrive :bbq:

-
.... has to be lemon and sugar for me ...... or Golden Syrup ; later in the week when we haven't had a lot to eat in the day ::)
-
First post on this whicky whacky new format!
Slow cooked lamb shanks with root vegetables and shredded kale. Oh and some sprouts because I love them and they will stop soon!!
-
Welsh cakes for St David's day ;D
-
Happy St David's Day! Love Welsh cakes!
Whoa the format's changed back again :o
-
Welsh Cakes. Inspiration!!! Thanks :)
-
I've made 16 welsh cakes, no, no sorry I've made 14, I have definitely positively not eaten two when they were still lovely and warm ;D
-
They are best warm.
Always a disappointment when bought from a shop with a long sell by date on them. Immediate is best ;D
-
Beef stew and mashed potato.
Lanzalover x
-
Lump of steak, well cooked, tinned broad beans, freshly mashed potatoes ...... stuffed now.
-
Quick fried gurnard with sliced chillies, spring onions, ginger and soy sauce with a stir fry of mixed veg. Dinner for one!!
-
Is that a red fish with huge head ?
-
beans on toast with sausage, onions and mushrooms. Apple charlotte and cream :)
-
Red and pretty weird looking. Get the fishmonger to fillet it for me as there's so much waste and it's a tricky looking beast with lots of ****ly bits. Utterly delicious though and makes tasty fish and chips if you're inclined! x
-
I'm having problems with choosing something to eat at lunch time :-\, it's almost picnic time and I've gone off cheese, cold meats, don't like sausages, can't be bothered with salads ....... any suggestions? We don't live close enough to supermarkets to nip in and grab what I fancy ..... ready-made or not. Sandwiches are boring!
-
Not sure whether you mean to eat away as a picnic or at home for lunch?
What about hot wraps, stuffed with chicken, grilled peppers and if you have any avocados around, guacamole and mixed leaves? I love hot sandwiches or wraps filled with BLT, or spicy chicken and salad, or scampi, tartare sauce and salad, or fish goujons and salad (obviously you've got to love your salad!!) If not grilled peppers, sautéed mushrooms, grilled tomatoes are glorious in sandwiches or wraps.
If for a picnic, make tomato based pasta the night before with whatever ingredient takes your fancy, and eat cold the following day. Make a rice salad the night before with any chopped veg and protein you like, that's great cold the next day too. What about taking a flask of steaming hot soup with bread. If you have tinned chick peas you could whizz up a humus. What about a thick tortilla with onion, potatoes, chorizo, peppers, petit pois, that's great cold the next day?
Sorry I don't know what your fridge and larder contents are, that's a different thread altogether!! x
-
:thankyou: now you've given me an idea ::)
-
Himself has spent the afternoon filleting freshly caught trout and making Cornish pasties, 1 for our evening meal then the rest will be put into the freezer once cooled.
-
Simple but tasty, old Good Housekeeping recipe tonight, Stoved Chicken with shredded cabbage, petit pois and sweet corn. I also roasted a pineapple, hubby will have with creme fraiche, me without :ange:
-
I would never have thought to roast pineapple. Do tell more?
-
I'm sure I told you that I love home made pasties CLKD :lol:
-
You did however ;D - by the time we meet half way they'll be cold ::)
-
Post some frozen ones ! ;D
-
Will they fit through your letter box and not break on landing ;D
-
That's a point,we don't have a letter box ,we have a box on the wall ! Deffo wouldn't fit through that ! :o
-
Aahhh well ;D
-
CLKD, try this recipe for the pineapple.
http://www.raymondblanc.com/recipes/roasted-pineapple/
I don't do the dried pineapple garnish and don't carve the pineapple like the maestro but it tastes fab. If I've no time to play, I just make a syrup and bake it in that.
I love Cornish pasties. There's a wonderful pasty maker on The Lizard in Cornwall called Annies. It's a little shop at the back of a regular little house that sells them by the thousand. Oooh they're good. We buy them and take them down to the cliff tops at Kynance, couldn't be bettered!
-
:thankyou:
-
Nought! Big mixed salad with smoked trout fillets, and goats chess and basil focaccia. No washing up either! :hapij:
-
Himself made a big batch of curry and pasties recently: we had heated through curry with rice this evening .....
-
Lemon chicken. :)
-
Cold turkey salad and homemade chips
-
After a long weekend of feeding the five thousand, easy peasy tonight!
Salmon with sweet chilli and ginger dressing, lemon rice, mange tout, sugar snaps and long stem broccoli. Left over poached pears and mascapone cream.
-
That doesn't sound easy from where I'm sitting :-\ ::)
-
After my weekend, a walk in the park!! ;)
-
Home alone tonight - making myself a curry :)
Edit: it was lovely! Slimming World recipe - all of 2 Syns. It was a Burmese lamb curry, and I had it with rice and stir-fried cumin and coriander cauli. Left-overs for lunch today :)
-
Oh I love lamb curry, and the cauli sounds absolutely delicious!
Home made burgers and spicy wedges tonight with a big mixed salad, was in the mood and ran up some chilli mayo too. Made a batch of pear, pecan and ginger muffins so might even sneak one of those later. :boobs:
-
Comfort food tonight - shredded cured smoked pork loin, parmesan, broccoli, cauli, spinach and petit pois pasta bake. Yum!
-
Was it good? We had Cornish pasties with home grown asparagus on the side ;-).
-
Yes delicious, even if I say so myself ;) A wonderful mix of flavours and textures loaded with cayenne and freshly grated nutmeg. Small portion left for lunch tomorrow. Comfort food always hits the spot doesn't it?!
Love Cornish pasties but I very rarely make or eat them. It's one of my seasonal saves for Cornish visits!
-
Thai fish and shellfish curry with sticky rice and a crunchy Thai salad.
-
Haha, shame they don't taste that good! x
-
Freshly caught trout. Freshly cut asparagus spears. Yam ........ lemon, butter, black pepper
-
It's a fish night tonight ladies! Love asparagus!!
-
M&S meal for two. Only thing we feel like at the moment.
-
Can't go wrong with M and S cubagirl: hope you can taste it with your colds!
-
Yes, was quite tasty, even hubby approved.
-
Nothing at all! Took frozen currys out of freezer after busy day at work only to discover the instruction: "defrost for 12 hours prior to cooking"! Amazing takeaway with mega calories courtesy of husband.
-
Roast lamb, dauphinoise potatoes, shredded spring greens, carrots, sweetcorn, roasted parsnips, gravy and mint sauce. Yum!
-
What time ? ;D
-
The more the merrier, about 7ish! x
-
Oh, ER, like sparkle has alrealdy mentioned, you sound like a gourmet cuisine's chef! I wish I was as skilled as you. No, wait, I wish I was your hubby ;D
-
Haha, menomale, this is easy, just sling it in the oven! This wouldn't suit you at all as there's meat and cream and cheese there. Come on a vegi night!! xx
-
Easy tea for us tonight, again. Butcher's burgers in buns with fries & onion rings. Need to start cooking proper meals again.
-
Nowt :-\
-
Its been decided I should cook sweet & sour chicken. ::)
-
Oooh, you go girl!
Easy peasy for me tonight - roast lamb and dauphinoise leftovers loads of gravy left too!! Just need to do fresh veggies.
-
Same for us ER, roast lamb, hassle back potatoes, roasties and roast veg. The lamb is left overs , and I just have to bung the rest into the oven ! Hubby thinks I will be slaving over a hot stove and told me not to go to any trouble :) I won't !!
-
Tee-hee, brownie points!! x
-
Comfort food tonight - shredded cured smoked pork loin, parmesan, broccoli, cauli, spinach and petit pois pasta bake. Yum!
Elizabeth rose is the pork separate and the other ingredients together as a bake with pasta? Sounds delicious
-
Going a la carte tonight....... Fish fingers and chips ! :rofl:
-
Dazned - nothing like a good fish finger sandwich!
Evelyn it's added to the béchamel. I buy it in M and S, smoked cured pork loin, it looks like a bacon joint but is much milder and sweeter. If there's a chunk left I shred it and add it to pasta bakes.
It's just a normal béchamel, very heavily laced with freshly grated nutmeg and cayenne and with as much cheese as you'd like. I use parmesan and gruyere. Pasta of your choice, mine is De Cecco chifferi rigati no 33 which is a small c shaped tube: tubes are good with a béchamel as they act like little spoons scooping up the sauce.
I boil a big pan with salted water, toss in the pasta and as soon as it boils again toss in bite size pieces of caul, broccoli, petit pois (anything that takes your fancy) then drain and stir into the sauce. At that stage I stir in a big bag of raw spinach which wilts in the heat of the sauce.
Pile it all into an oven proof dish, cover with a mixture of parmesan and panko crumbs (I buy these from Waitrose in their Cooks Ingredients section, they are much lighter and crunchier than normal breadcrumbs and they add texture to the topping). Pop in the oven until brown and crispy on top. Pasta should not be anything other than al dente before it goes in the oven as it becomes overcooked if oven cooked as well.
Enjoy x
-
Elizabethrose thank you so much for this recipe. My mouth was watering the other day when you mentioned it but I was too shy to ask for the recipe.
I'm definitely going to do this on the weekend xxx :thankyou:
-
Brilliant Elizabethrose , thanks so much, definitely trying it this week. I must be very unshy Clairelou, at least on here anyway LOL
-
Never be shy Claireylou!! Hope you enjoy it x
Oh blimey, I hope you don't both come back next week demanding a refund!! ;) x
-
Oh I'm sure we won't :)
We are proper foodies and I'm always on the hunt for new recipes and ideas. It sounds easy enough for DH to master while I'm recovering from my hysterectomy too xxx :)
Evelyn I know I'm daft. Trying to be more upfront. Getting the hang of it slowly xxx :)
-
:)
Evelyn I know I'm daft. Trying to be more upfront. Getting the hang of it slowly xxx :)
Oh please forgive me Clairelou, I never ever wanted to imply that, and hope you aren't offended. Thats the last thing I would want. I just meant Im maybe not as shy so tend to speak out , at least on line, I'm much quieter in real life !!!!
-
Oh gosh Evelyn, I wasn't offended in any way at all :)
I've always been a shy nelly. Just beginning to find my voice. I hope we can compare notes with this delicious recipe :)
-
Nooooooo, too much pressure :worm:
-
:rofl:
-
Oh gosh Evelyn, I wasn't offended in any way at all :)
I've always been a shy nelly. Just beginning to find my voice. I hope we can compare notes with this delicious recipe :)
Definitely :lol: :lol:

What's a hassle back potato ?
Nowt.

What's a hassle back potato ?
Nowt.
https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/hasselback-new-potatoes-oregano
Delicious and so simple to make.
-
M and S seafood linguini, for one, with some garlicky spinach and grilled tomatoes. Green tea, ONE Hotel Chocolate of my choice and last weeks episode of Homeland. What more could a gal wish for? (Clearly I'm very easily pleased!!)
-
Hi CLKD - a hassleback potato... too much hassle. a roasted spud almost sliced through but not quite. 2 sandwiches short of a picnic. but delicious nevertheless!
Tonight I had Walkers ready salted washed down with a wee cheeky glass of white. AND SOME HUMMUS COS ITS HEALTHY! DH also had some Special K!
In my defence, last night I had garlic/ rosemary potatoes, roasted fennel and sea bass with a dill, lemon and cream sauce with minted pea purée. all made from scratch by me, thus my delicious meal this evening of Special K and crisps. Husband is still trying to clean kitchen.
I do try and cook from scratch most of the time and I've got him trained up pretty well but sometimes you just can't be bothered! :medal: :cupcake:
Elizabeth Rose- sounds delicious. X
-
Was it in a blender and through a straw Sparkle?
Well I don't think I'd go as far as saying I'm 'cooking' this tonight but it's certainly going into the microwave.
M and S Taste Thailand, Chicken Penang Banquet for one.: consisting of Chargrilled marinated chicken, a fragrant coconut and lime sauce topped with roasted spiced vegetables & fresh coriander, sticky jasmine rice with lime leaves and a Thai vegetable curry with crispy onions to spinkle over the top.
Really, what more could a gal wish for aside from the jasmine tea and one Hotel Chocolate choc to follow?!
-
Whoa DH cooks? I'd put up with the snoring for that! On the other hand..........maybe not! ;) Enjoy! x
-
Homemade Lasagne
Lanzalover x
-
Oooh, love lasagna! I'd pop over and join you but I'm completely stuffed from my M and S banquet. :boobs:
-
Just as well Elizabethrose as there's none left sorry 😀
Lanzalover x
-
m & S cooked our dinner for us tonight :)
-
Big pot of mussels tonight, rye and poppy seed sour dough, mixed salad a large handful of muscat grapes from M and S. Love these grapes when in season and grab them when i can!
Jasmine tea and a Hotel Chocolate chocolate; tonights choice rhubarb, total delicious!
-
Duck breast with plumb sauce. New season asparagus and Jersey Royal potatoes.
Newly picked rhubarb and ice cream.
The rhubarb was grown by me and hugely over cooked as I went outside to help hubby in the garden....therefore the stewed rhubarb was renamed....not sure what though, but it tasted really good. ;D ;D
Have to say the potatoes tasted not too bad and certainly better than last year.
Maybe it's getting older but some things like new potatoes just don't have the flavour these days....heck I sound like my mother ::)
Mrs Brown.
-
Ooooh that sounds delicious, I love everything you've listed. Trouble with this thread is you end up wanting what everyone else is having (or had). I love rhubarb and also gooseberries, I like the tartness of both.
I know what you mean about tastes being a little disappointing at times. I sometimes wonder how long the new Jersey Royals sit in the shops for. They need to be out of the soil and onto the plate really quickly. Years ago they'd arrive covered in soil and would need to be scrubbed hard. Nowadays, in our antiseptic and perfectly shaped world, they arrive already washed. Maybe that affects the taste too.
I love them with a sprig of mint thrown into the pan, that takes me right back to my childhood.
-
Mrs Brown, I was watching the tv programme Dinner Date this afternoon and laughed at this woman who made a rhubarb crumble but she didn't use crumble she used crushed biscuits but she also put the rhubarb in the bowl uncooked, covered it with the biscuits and put it in the oven. Needless to say it was inedible! She also made her own ice cream but forgot to add the sugar and eggs! I wonder if she had meno brain?!
-
Dunno Megamind but I'm really glad I wasn't invited. Can you imagine being served up something that was totally inedible, how awful would that be? I have twice been served chicken that was raw inside, oh it was awful as both women were in such a pickle that nobody liked to say anything but nobody could eat it. It was like being back at school, trying to hide items under others on the plate. x
-
She said to her date 'you don't have to eat it if you don't like it' then she tried it herself and said how awful it was and took his bowl away! He obviously didn't pick her for the date at the end (he chooses from 3 different women). Why go on a show called 'dinner date' if you can't cook?!
I was served some raw chicken at a barbecue last year..it's put me off barbecues now!
-
I like the mishapen veggies that are now on sale. Why should a carrot be straight to taste good.
My own homegrown veg always seem to end up funny shapes. I have a variety of photos of parsnips that are really quite risky ;D
My part of the world has really quite well known potatoes. They really don't taste the same anymore as the EU banned the farmers from collecting seaweed from the beach and fertilising the potato fields. The tatties tasted lovely with a little hint of salt. Maybe things will change now...who knows.
Maybe it's my taste buds though.
I'm a member of a community garden that is on the coast. We regularly collect seaweed and fertilise our raised beds with it. As long as it's left out in the rain for a few weeks it's great and makes for really good veggies.
I just love growing my own stuff. Very satisfying.
Mrs Brown
-
Why would the seaweed collecting for use as fertiliser be banned? I don't understand?
I'd love to grow my own veg but have never done so. My garden really isn't that large. A long skinny Victorian plot and I'd have to totally resign it to make it worthwhile. i do grow a massive selection of herbs and chillies in pots by the house but otherwise rely on Mr Waitrose. x
-
Those tatties just aren't what they used to be at all Mrs B. My mother hated them, too waxy was her complaint. She preferred floury ones. Jersey royals aren't that fantastic any more either. :-\
I won't be cooking tonight. :jiggy:
-
Love lamb Hasty, my favourite meat!
Batch cooking today, Bolognese, Thai chicken curry, Beef cheeks.
I'm at the chaos stage :o Kitchen looks like a war zone, now the tidying starts. Ella's serenading me, windows and doors open so breeze coming through. Order will be resumed shortly, I hope!
As for tonight's supper, I'll see which one takes my fancy. x
-
Roast Welsh lamb,roast potatoes,mash potatoes and swede,broccoli,carrots,mushy peas,gravy and mint sauce.
-
Oooh, more lamb! See it happens every time, the grass is always greener!
-
Lasagne with salad, and some sourdough bread for hubster though I ended up eating it despite resolving I wasnt going to have any. Last night we had gammon shanks with cranberry from the gastropub range at M & S they are delicious .
-
Too bloated to eat :-\ - I've been feeling hungry but when I eat I feel full ........ need to get back to my Actimel I think. So it's crackers with cheese ...........
-
Hubby back tonight so cooking again!
Oven baked cod on crushed garlicky new pots, broccoli, shredded sweetheart cabbage and petit pois. Made some banana, chocolate and pecan muffins too but not for me as I have enough of my own muffin top going on!! >:(
-
..............or no cream as the case may be!! ;)
-
Ah, husband back ruining all your fun Elizabethrose?!
Salmon for us too with baked potato and broccoli. I don't like fish, I have to force myself to have salmon once a week!
-
Steak and kidney pie with mashed potatoes and peas. Home made by me ;D
Mrs Brown
-
Teehee, you'd better believe it Megamind!! ;)
If you don't like it, disguise it. Do a Thai fish curry, introduce a strong flavour which will smother it. If you like prawns, sling them in too!. My daughter had a friend who hated fish but ate it here because she didn't know it was there. "No I promise, there's no fish in the meal tonight" She'd wolf it down!!
-
I'll be there by 8 but can you please pick out the kidney?! ;)
-
Slimming World friendly cauliflower and blue cheese soup for me tonight - home alone so I can eat what I like!
-
Sirloin steak,salad,garlic potatoes,strawberries and I've cream for pud. :P
-
Whoa love pies! I think I'll slip-up to you instead Hasty, kidney is just about the only food I don't eat! Sorry Mrs B! x
Love cauli soup Scampi - enjoy! x
There's always someone along to spoil your fun Megamind. Salmon, tuna sandwich and sardines on toast, job done! More omega 3s in the tuna in water than in the tuna in oil apparently. Less leaching! Have to say I eat smoked mackerel but I don't much like it either. It tastes too oily for me and always without fail repeats for hours afterwards. Always end up taking an anti acid too. x
Just read yours dazned and that sounds delicious too. Back to the boring cod for me though! x
-
Salad for me , sausage buns for himself as we are off out to cinema. I'll just have whatever falls out of fridge at me on top of huge plate of lettuce - not sure the hospital stoma nurse would approve as she wanted me living on pie and mash but my diabetic nurse will love me.
I love smoked mackerel but you're right ER, it does have tendency to keep coming back up for air!!
Glad the warmer days are coming as I'm ready for fresher lighter food x
-
Oh I do like a bit of offal lol.
My daughters boyfriend likes to go fishing and his summer catch is mackerel. We get loads of them and end up giving them to neighbours. Hubby loves them and we have come up with loads of recipes, the favourite at the moment is grilled mackerel on chiabata (sp) with a sun dried tomato and olive tapenade. Only thing is I can't eat them as they are the gift that keeps on giving ::)
I think my sister has the better deal. Her neighbour has a boat and puts out lobster pots. He hands them into her already cooked. In return she keeps him going in tomatoes in the summer. Now lobster....oooo I just love them.
Mrs Brown.
-
Now that would be my dream: a friendly lobster fisherman neighbour willing to share his catch. You don't get too many of them in my neck of the woods! Love seafood, by absolute favourite food!!
coldethyl you describe the mackerel perfectly, 'it does have tendency to keep coming back up for air!!' I think I prefer it fresh instead of smoked but it would still never be my go to fish.
Hope everyone enjoyed their supper! x
-
You need to visit Oban Elizabethrose and go to the Seashack on the pier. Best seafood in the country ;)
Tonight we are having a BBQ. Usual stuff, chicken, baked potatoes and sweetcorn. First of the year and many more to come I hope.
Mrs Brown
-
Lobster is too chewy for me, I will eat freshly caught crab with brown bread and butter. Himself is cooking steak, flat chipped potatoes in the oven and probably a kind of squash thingy. Sandwiches tomorrow as we are off fishing. I don't like fish much ::) although freshly caught mackerel on a fire on the beach is great ;-).
-
Sounds like a plan Mrs B! My fav is the Crab Cooker in Newport Beach, CA. They serve Alaskan King Crab which I kid you not, is to die for! Typical US portions, it's amazing. Simple restaurant, paper plates, but the quality of the food is outstanding.
There is not a shell fish I don't love, we eat a lot of the stuff! :)
Griddled salmon, with a chilli sauce and a big stir fry of veg, and coconut and lime rice tonight. x
-
The Shack in Oban is just that....a shack.
There are a few posh places on the pier but this is the go to one.
It's nice to hear of other really good seafood places though. Bit of a drive for us :)
We are heading up towards Loch Fyne in the summer. The fishery place there supplies Harrods now but when it first opened it was a shed. I'm hoping to get langostines, and lobster. Hubby likes crab but I only like the white meat and unfortunately I'm allergic to oysters. Plenty to choose from though. It's going to be our holiday treat.
If the lobster you have eaten is chewy CLKD then it's overcooked. It should be melt in the mouth tender.
Mrs Brown
-
Oh yes. Crab shack in Oban is fantastic. Got the grand seafood platter last year. £30 but you would easily pay 3x in a restaurant. Took it back and cracked open a nice bottle of rose. Lobster, salmon, langoustines, crab, herring, prawns, mussels, razor clams. was fantastic and highly recommended as Ma Brown has said. Glad they didn't have oysters though. They give me the " boak "
Good Scottish word for you. Look it up🤢
-
BBQ again for us tonight. Got to take advantage of the weather.
I marinaded lamb rump in red wine, olive oil, lemon zest and juice with a little garlic and oregano. I made up skewers and hubby cooked it. Well that's the mans job isn't it...he even has an apron that says so ;D
I served it with a Greek salad and pitta.....it was yummy....oh and healthy.
I'm not keen on oysters either, I had a strange reaction at one time and I'm really scared to try again. They don't give me the boak though ;D ;D
Mrs Brown.
-
Oooh. Sounds lovely! About to go on cruise - bit late to go on a diet I suppose!
-
Hasty I'd same experience with oysters! In fact that was the turning point I believe in triggering many of my symptoms- mine were cooked - made no difference- got norovirus and a hernia and a string of issues too long to recount ;D
-
Beef casserole
-
Roast beef + trimmings, followed by trifle.
-
meat free cottage pie for hubby and fish pie for me followed by lemon meringue pie - yum :)
-
Nothing going out for dinner
Lanzaloverx
-
Chicken stuffed with lemon and garlic covered in olive oil😋 With potato salad and asparagus - a family gathering 😍
-
Chicken skewers marinated in yogurt, lemon juice and loads of spices.
Son is coming for dinner tonight. I suspect he will bring his washing with him ::)
Mrs Brown
-
Roast chicken, roast tatties, veg & stuffing.
-
Oh yummy cubagirl and Mrs B, can you fit a wee sassenach around your tables?
We have lots of leftovers from a dinner party last night, which is brill because I'm absolutely pooped!
Enjoy ladies! x
-
Our tea was yummy, though Mrs B yours sounds better! Wonder if your recipe would work with DF yogurt. Hint, hint! ;D ;D ;D
-
BBQ it was lovely.

Theres fish restaurant called Harry's Shack, right on the beach up the North Coast in N. Ireland. Sounds very similar to the one mentiond in Oban.

-
Yes it does Cubagirl. Daughter is lactose intolerant so if we want her to eat the same as we do then I have to substitute. I used natural soy yogurt with the juice of one lemon. A little bit of grated fresh ginger, a small...very small amount of garlic, a half teaspoon of paprika, a little cayenne pepper and some ground cumin. Salt and pepper. Cube the chicken and marinade either overnight or most of the day. Thread onto skewers with cubed pepper and onion, then either grill under a medium heat or BBQ. I served with a Greek salad and either pitta or wraps. It's really nice. Not too spicy but just nice and the chicken remains juicy because of the marinade.
I know you are dairy intolerant so that would suit just fine.
I hate having to cook something different for my daughter down to her lactose intolerance so I try all sorts of different things and with herbs and spices it suits all of us and she doesn't feel left out.
When she does get left out is when she decides that she won't eat red meat...then I use the substitute for that and just make a small amount for her. She is an on again off again vegetarian/peskitarian that occasionally can't resist a bacon roll ::)
Oh and son did bring his washing ;D
Mrs Brown
-
Roast pheasant
Hurdity x
-
Sounds good Mrs B, will give it a try sometime, though maybe with coconut yogurt instead. I struggle with soya, its the after taste. Apart from coffee shop at the beach which does the most amazing soya hot chocolate!
-
I'm not keen on soya either but this recipe has so many spices in there is no chance of tasting it. The yogurt is just there to tenderise and keep things moist.
I think it would work with any dairy free yogurt though..
Mrs Brown.
-
Himself has made 25 Cornish pasties [sorry dazned ;D] .........
We always have roasted pheasant for C.mas Lunch or special birthdays ;-). Or when we have a glut in the freezer .........
Himself uses coconut 'milk' in cans when making curries, I get to lick the tin .......... [carefully :D ]
-
Oh I'm so jealous CLKD ! Mmmm I can smell them from here! :clapping:
-
:lol: we both cracked and had to try one, straight from the oven. If I complain of heart burn later :kick:
-
I'd gladly suffer the heartburn for one of those Cornish pasties ::)
-
What kind of filling does he use CLKD. I've tried all sorts but never seem to get it just right. Does he make his own pastry or use the ready made shortcrust. I've only ever used the ready made stuff. I've either got too much filling and they burst, or too little and they are dry. Does he cook off the filling before and for how long. What's in his filling or is it a deep dark secret.
Hubby loves a Cornish pasty and I would really like to get it right for once.
Mrs Brown
-
Well he takes short cuts compared with how he was taught by a Cornish man years ago ::)
Mince: salt: pepper: boiled down tomatoes added to the mince. Chopped carrots and swede. Cooks mince and veg. separately.
Buys ready-2-roll pastry. Initially he was taught to use a large dinner plate to make the shapes, add the cooked mixture and seal. Of course the miners would have meat in one end and jam in the other with large 'ears', which would be thrown away for the rats because the ears may well contain contaminants. Cooked in the oven until done, all of his split today ::) so will need eating in a dish with a spoon.
When he made his own pastry there was no splitting :-\
-
Tonight is corned beef hash.
-
:-\ :-X I HATE corned beef .......
-
Toast for a start I think - alone this evening so having to make do ;D ........ it's drizzling hard, fire is lit and no appetite. Off to raid the fridge!
-
We had cheesy beans on toast ! DH off out early to cycle club ::)
-
I've just popped some large spuds in the oven - jackets with tuna and sweetcorn and a salad.
-
I cheat these days with baked spuds. I was so scathing about the frozen part cooked ones. McCains ( other brands available ) lol.
Now I only use these as they are bomb proof. I never get a potato that's watery or has a bad bit in the middle. I cook them for less time than is suggested in the micro. I then spray them with oil and give them a good season and pop the in the oven until the skin is lovely and crispy.
We had them tonight with chilli and salad, sour cream and grated cheese. There was masses of it so DD will take it to her boyfriends later for dinner.
Mrs Brown
-
M & S do lovely baked potatoes. If I am doing them from scratch I do what you do Mrs B, I start them off in microwave for a few minutes then sprinkle with oil, season and pop them into the oven to finish off, foolproof ;) Then serve with whatever filling available.
-
Hubby was out, so I ate by myself. I had a pork chop (which I burnt) and microwaved the remains of last night's veg. Then I had a few anchovies. Oh, and a glass of wine. Odd sort of tea....... :-\
-
Himself was home earlier than expected so we had toast, cheese on the side and chutneys. Bloated for the whole evening though.
dazned - out on the cycle after beans, that's the idea ;) ;D ......... the hills are alive, with the sound of ......... :whist:
-
:rofl:
No there was no cycling involved,it's just a social evening for discussing new routes etc. Mind you it was probably more of an antisocial evening after the beans ! ;D
-
:lol:
-
And to cap it off tonight we are having faggots,mash,kale and mushy peas !! :rofl:
-
:P ......... open windows all night then ! Himself will be cooking chicken breasts, home grown broccoli and roasted spuds.
-
stuffed peppers with baked potatoes followed by blueberries and creme fraiche :)
-
Chicken curry 🍛.
-
Spicy crispy fried chicken, hot potato salad and mixed salad.
-
Stuffed now :D
-
Yummy one tonight - one of my favs!!
Saltimbocca, saute potatoes, romanesco, and garlicky spinach. Marinated figs with mascapone and some little choc and pecan cookies. Couple of pals coming, would be rude of me not to make an effort!! (Oh ok I'd better eat it as well! ;))
-
Wish I was a guest at your table Elizabeth Rose ! One pot Spanish Chicken from Hairy Bikers book.
-
Carbonara.
-
Salmon and salad
-
Lime and garlic chicken with roasted veggies and a wine and stock gravy with broccoli and steamed cabbage. Sliced melon and pineapple.
-
Honey soy ginger and garlic chicken with roast potatoes and veggies. Followed by raspberries and strawberries with choc ice cream......all cooked by hubby which made it taste twice as nice.
I do love a raspberry and the best ones I have ever tasted were in Anstruther last year. There was a hut in a field with lots of picked fruits and an honesty box. Best fruits ever.
Mrs Brown
-
Check you two with your fancy chicken dishes! ;D
We had roast chicken, roast potatoes & baked beans. I wanted sprouts, but hubby hates them, so I gave in. ::)
-
what's 'carbonra' when it's up and dressed :D
Nowt tonight. Himself did a good lump of steak with veg., some meat left to eat cold later with home made bean salad. Tomorrow will be a camping 'mix' cooked in a packet and eaten with a spoon ;D
-
Nothing fancy about ours cubagirl just a chicken with a cut lime and garlic head stuffed up it's backside! x
I love raspberries Mrs B, favourite berries and of course Scottish raspberries are the best! x
Tonight it's M and S Indian food here, easy peasy lemon squeezy!
-
Well the steak and bean/garlic salad has gone :o :D
-
I'm having a baked potato with left over chicken & veg. Hubby is having a curry which I can't have.
-
Hairy Bikers spag. bol. !
-
Will they both fit into the oven dazned? ;) and what will you B feeding your visitors ........
-
Chicken curry tonight with poppadoms & onion bhajees.
-
Gino's carbonara.
-
I'll just have Gino thanks CB... ;)
-
Penne Bolognese with fried courgettes in pastella and garlicky spinach. Either mixed berries and a dollop of creme fraiche or a mini peanut Magnum!! :)
-
Mmmmmm! Squirrel Jambalaya can't wait!
http://www.backwoodsbound.com/zsquir6.html
-
Lamb kebabs, Greek salad and either some flat bread or some sort of herby or lemon rice. Marinating the lamb as we speak!
-
Oooo I like that especially from the BBQ. What kind of marinade are you using Elizabethrose
Mrs Brown
-
Olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano and blk pepper. Will grill, not bbq though. What about you, what are you planning? x
-
Night off. Girls night out in town.
-
Not got a clue.
There are a few things lurking in the fridge. Some pate and cold meats I think. Got loads of lettuce in the garden and American land cress which has gone mad.
It will either be that or egg and chips ;D.
Really not in the mood today.
Mrs Brown
-
Think you have enough on your plate (no pun intended) without adding to your work load. Egg and chips it is! x
-
Egg & chips sounds good to me. Quick & easy.
-
Avocado on toast for me today, DH is making a big pot of chilli but it's fiercely hot so I'm playing safe :)
-
Not too bad Sparkle, thanks for asking. I can feel I'm getting a bit stronger every day. Hubby and sons love hot chilli, curry etc. you could strip wallpaper with it :o
I'm sticking to nice, gentle things for now. Home made rice pudding for dessert :)
-
Lovely to hear you're doing so well Claireylou, hope you've still got your feet up! Love home made rice pudding, I very rarely cook it as no-one else is a fan here. Enjoy your supper, it always tastes more delicious when someone else has prepared it. xx
-
Actually found some smoked salmon in the freezer so it's going to be a bits and pieces dinner.
Stick it on a plate and help yourself.
DD is having her favourite lactose free pizza.
Sorted
Glad your still letting the family look after you Claireylou. I often have avocado on toast. I grill some slices of tomato and pop that on top.
Mrs B
-
Picky bits, love that sort of meal! x
-
Might even push the boat out and make some melba toast ;D ;D
Mrs Brown
-
Thank you for your kind words Elizabethrose and Mrs B,
I shall try the tomatoes on top tonight, it sounds delicious :)
-
;D
-
Nothing, we have been out for posh afternoon tea (a birthday treat) and feel stuffed to the gills. Will probably just have a large salad for supper.
-
Oh that's such a treat BJ, haven't done that in a long time. x
Sparkle, give it a try, it could either make you glow in the dark or put hairs on your chest! Bet it still tastes good though! x
-
It's your natural radiance, Sparkle by name and sparkle by nature ;)
-
Sparkly Girl! Haha, hadn't even thought of that, natural born comedian!
-
Oh yes Glowing is a great description.
I remember many years ago when I had a summer job in ICI. I told an older woman that I was sweating like a *** . She told me
Dear.....only horses sweat....ladies glisten. I told her....I was then glistening like a ***
I was at a charity afternoon tea last month. It was not cheap and was at a very posh hotel.... Satisfying it was not and I hadn't had any lunch and was starving....I left starving too.
Mrs Brown
-
I have to be honest Mrs B it was not my cup of tea (pun intended). The food was rich and sugar laden and the tea was not a patch on Yorkshire ::). I have very plain tastes and I ended up feeling a little :sick02: The hotel was very posh and I found the waiters sycophantic and creepy.
However the afternoon was a gift from a friend so I will keep :-X IRL
-
My DIL loves going out for afternoon tea. She keeps a diary & gives marks out of 10.
-
Spanish type tortilla with eggs, pots, onions, chorizo, red peppers, petit pois and a big mixed salad.
-
Better pull out the Gaviscon Advance!! ;) x
-
Freshly caught trout with English Asparagus and new spuds ......
-
Nothing. Out for meal with hubby tonight. :)
-
Definitely the salad :-X
-
I have made a large salad too with red cos, cucumber, red pepper, cress, cherry vine tomatoes, sweetcorn and walnuts. We are having it with a cheese and leek flan I made, a sort of detox from yesterday.
-
Big pot of chilli for us tonight.
Gaviscon indeed ;D
Mrs Bown
-
Open the windows B4 eating :D
-
Smoked mackerel does it to me every time Sparkle!. Think it was coldethyl who said that she likes it but 'it does have tendency to keep coming back up for air!!' Tee-hee, I totally agree!
Dinner done early, want to watch question time and holler at the screen. Just need to clean up first. Bit bored with this one person washing and cleaning up routine!
Enjoy ladies! x
-
I used to enjoy tuna but can't eat it any more, it gives me the most awful heartburn. But salmon, I can eat any amount of that. I just don't get it ???
-
Different oils BJ ;-)
Stuffed now ...... slight heartburn >:(
-
It was indeed me who described mackerel thus ER- some in fridge but as hoping to go off in van tomorrow will pass.
Not sure what I'll have - very late lunch as we had a visitor and then popped out to get shopping - picked up tin of mushroom soup so may have that later or just a bit of cheese - some days I can't muster enthusiasm to make meals - my nana stopped cooking properly in her fifties and I'm now wondering if it's a meno thing !!
-
some days I can't muster enthusiasm to make meals - my nana stopped cooking properly in her fifties and I'm now wondering if it's a meno thing !!
It's called "the lifting of the hormonal veil" coldethyl meaning that as the hormones change we become aware that we don't have to spend all of our time looking after others I think http://www.drnorthrup.com/wisdom-of-menopause/
Taz x
-
Pancakes :-*
-
Really not in the mood tonight so something quick and easy. M and S stone baked pizza and I'll add sautéed mushrooms, peppers, artichokes, anchovies, tomatoes and some parmesan. Plus a mixed salad x
-
Homemade (by hubby) macaroni cheese with a Greek salad
-
That doesn't sound quick and easy from where I'm sitting ER :D - however, it sounds delicious!
What's a Greek salad ...... himself is de-frosting some ready cooked mince/veg which he will heat and pour over some rice :-*. I'm hungry so he's cooking earlier than usual.
-
Cucumber, tomatoes, olives, red onions, feta cheese and a sprinkle of oregano and extra virgin olive oil :)
-
:thankyou: do you grow the oregano?
-
Yes, I've got all of my herbs on a big window ledge in our conservatory. Had quite a bit of success with them too :)
-
Love Greek salad and mac and cheese Claireylou. I grow oregano and basil inside too, though my basil always dies over winter as this house is just not warm enough. Hope you're still doing well! x
-
Stronger every day Elizabethrose, thank you for asking :)
-
A Gino recipe with pasta, smoked salmon, courgette, pepper, red onion & lemon. I thought it was lovely. Hubby turned his nose up, tasteless according to him, no proper sauce. Help ma bob! Not everything needs sauce! :-\
-
Finished up leftovers from family visitors this weekend
-
I haven't eaten macaroni cheese for years ::) - I have fads .......
-
Oh I love Mac n cheese.
I always add pancetta and baby plum tomatoes.
I have to make it Lactose free but that so much easier now.
Serve with a big salad and crusty bread.....yum.
Mrs Brown
-
Hubby put some diced crispy bacon in it and we had home grown halved cherry tomatoes on top with a scattering of snipped chives. It was delicious and I'm very stuffed and content xxx :)
-
OH, I love mac 'n' cheese with bacon ... but it's a no-no while I'm doing Slimming World! The pasta is fine, but all that cheese, and 'proper' bacon :o It's one of the very few things I really do miss!
-
Roasted cod, potatoes boulangere, broccoli, courgettes and petit pois. Roasted pineapple and a dollop of greek yoghurt.
-
Lasagne.
-
I had to google boulangere potatoes! Mm, look lovely.
Chilli (cooked last night) and rice with garlic bread.
-
Chicken casserole with mustard mash, steamed kale and petit pois
-
Sounds delish! What is mustard mash?
-
Normal mash with some whole grain mustard stirred in ;D
-
Claireylou, if your husband is still cooking your meals, could you please send him down here when you're done! Sounds fab! x
-
Yes he is Elizabethrose, trained as a chef when he left school. I'm one lucky bunny. I'll send him down after he's cooked supper xxx ;)
-
I would love to be married to a Chef!
-
Wow, sounds good am gonna give that a bash!
-
Wish mine could cook just a teeny tiny bit. Microwave is his best friend! ;D
Now my SIL he can cook, manages to throw ingredients together & make good food.
-
Mine can cook and his speciality is curry and a really good roast dinner.
I taught both my kids to cook and the really keen one is my son, he will cook all sorts.
For us tonight. BBQ sausages and chicken wings with a salad. I'm trying to use up what's left in the fridge and I've got so much salad stuff ready in the garden too.
Mrs Brown
-
Half a sandwich ....... with freshly boiled new potatoes and home grown mint ......... and maybe some fruit during the evening.
-
Spicy stew( courgettes, tomatoes, peppers, onions and as many variants of chilli I dare add) with canellini beans( note to self but chickpeas at Lidl), chilli sausages and chilli halloumi- seemed a good idea till I remembered I'm on antibiotics.
-
What's hallumi
-
It's a Greek cheese sometimes made from goat and sheets milk.
Cooks really well....yummy.
Mrs Brown
-
It's very rubbery - you couldn't eat it raw but you slice it and grill or fry it till brown - lovely on top of garlicky big mushrooms ( not that I can eat them now with stoma) - nice in veggie kebabs too - quite salty.
Now I've made myself hungry again!
-
:-X - wish I hadn't asked ;D
-
No give it a try CLKD, it's almost steak like in it's texture and absorbs flavours really well.
-
I'm cooking airballs & bubbles as my Mother use to say.....(in any other words whatever I can find in the fridge).
She use to have another saying "s**t with sugar on" - classy lady she was ;D ;D ;D
-
;D ;D ;D
I'm making a curry.
-
Buying fish and chips :) luckily for me the nutritionist said nothing about eliminating this from my diet ;D
-
Absolutely love hallumi. If I had to pick 5 favourite foods Hallumi would be one of them.
-
Sausages, peas and a noodles-beansprouts-red onions wok-up.
-
We had roast chicken, roast tatties, skirlie & veg. Followed by toffee apple pudding ( stewed apples topped with cornflakes which have been mixed with syrup, sugar & marg). Fattening? But of course. ::)
-
Oatmeal stuffing.
-
:lol:
-
Falafel, humous, tzatziki, roasted aubergine bake, roasted toms, salad and pitta. The sun is shining and I'm pretending we're on holiday! x
-
Sparkle - :lol:
Beans on toast for us for tea. We still eat our main meal at lunchtime on Sundays, always have done :)
-
Fillet steak, baked potatoes asparagus. Followed by strawberries and then cheese and biscuits and a nice glass of port. I am on my holidays. It's very soggy outside.....in fact it's horsing it down ;D
Looking for somewhere nice to have a meal or two out in the week.
Mrs Brown
-
Mrs B if you were anywhere near me I'd be asking for share :rofl: I hadn't energy to cook - went to local garden centre cafe does nice Sunday lunch - wasnt great - tummy suffering now :o
-
I had a frittata which was nice. Hubby had jacket potato, baked mushrooms and lean beef -- he is on a mega diet. We haven't eaten together since my botched op 😞
-
Hubby and I often eat different things as some of the things he likes dont sit well with me.
We potter together and then we sit down and eat together. Just because you are not eating the same thing doesn't mean to say you can't sit down together.
Sometimes hubby cooks two different things and sometimes I do and others .....then we cook our own.
It's only as hard as you make it. I enjoy sitting eating together because then we put the world to rights. ;D
Maybe suggest that a meal together would be nice.
Mrs Brown.
-
Falafel, humous, tzatziki, roasted aubergine bake, roasted toms, salad and pitta. The sun is shining and I'm pretending we're on holiday! x
Mmm, that sounds delicious, Elizabethrose!
-
Salade Niçoise, garlic flatbread. Too hot to cook!
-
Get you with your yoga. I'm lying on the floor with my legs in the air, does that count? ;) x
-
Salmon salad with new potatoes.
Don't really fancy anything.
-
Chicken basted in Greek yoghurt and BBQ'd with salad 😋
-
Pasta as I've got a sore mouth
Mrs Brown
-
Meat Ragu for us. Hubby was held up at work & we've only just eaten.
-
Some one has lit a BBQ and it's drifting this way >:(
We ate hours ago ::)
Did the pasta help MrsB?
-
Not really CLKD but it was tasty.
I have to admit I do love a BBQ .
Mrs Brown
-
So does Himself but we moved out of the Cave and into the kitchen for a reason :bang: 1 of them being not to annoy neighbours with cooking stinks ........ :-X
-
We have a gas BBQ so not so much smoke.
Nothing like something off the BBQ. Hubby is the BBQ King and has the apron to prove it ::)
I remember hubby cooking a BBQ one Boxing Day. We had a power outage that lasted four days. It wad the only way we got to eat any thing hot. After that I got a gas hob ;D
Mrs Brown
-
I love the smell, nothing nicer, than the smell of meat being slowly grilled over the fire, am sure the neighbours will be popping their heads over to ask if he can do theirs as well... :)
-
Paella tonight.
-
Chicken curry. Rice. Chutney. I'm hungry :-\
-
M&S bangers, beans & mash, on my new hob. :)
-
Chinese chicken stir fry
-
Pork loin with cider, creme freshe, grain mustard and apples. Served with mash and peas.
Cooked by....me ;D ;D
Mrs Brown
-
Oh everyone's offerings sound really appealing tonight!
Paella cooked and devoured with sufficient left for two small lunch time portions tomorrow. Such an easy dish with such an abundance of flavours! What's there not to love?!
Was your pork loin in chops on or off the bone Mrs B? Or was it a whole pork loin? x
-
I bought a pork loin and cut it into thin slices and have frozen it in potions.
No huge appetites here these days so I get two or three meals from one loin.
Apart from that it was really easy.
Mrs Brown
-
Teeth better then ???
Stuffed now ........
-
Teefs are fine thanks ;D ;D
Mrs Brown
-
...... and the gums ???
-
Teeth good it's the gums that need to come out ;D ;D
A bit tender to be honest. Haven't done much brushing as yet.
Mrs Brown
-
Rinse and spit? Softly boiled rice?
-
ER oh how I wish you could persuade my hubby about paella. I've tried various versions & he turns up his nose every time!
-
What does he dislike about the recipe cubagirl? Could you adapt, adjust the ingredients?
I had a dinner party once with loads of different dietary likes and dislikes and medical concerns. I did three types of paella, one with chicken, chorizo and shellfish, one with fish and shellfish and the other a vegan. One person hated the taste of saffron and had to have something else prepared last minute. Thank goodness for heaving fridges!! ::)
Tonight it's roasted crushed, garlicky new pots topped with haddock with broc, asparagus and french style petit pois.
-
Giving it another go tomorrow ER. He thinks it tasteless, despite my efforts. Having roast chicken tonight, so will add in leftovers tomorrow along with prawns & pancetta. I can't have chorizo as many have milk so thought smoked pancetta might add some flavour. Got peppers too with smoked paprika, so hope there will be enough flavour.
So hate being dairy free!
-
It sounds lovely CG. Send me down a plate and I will eat it happily. DD was telling me that Tescos now have lactose free mozzarella. She is delighted at the bigger choices that are available now.
We are having duck breasts with a berry sauce . Cornish new potatoes with spinach and bacon.
Mrs Brown
-
Tesco have certainly upped their game. Wish it was only lactose which was my problem. It's every blooming thing with any dairy products. They stock little chocolate pots, a but like ganache. Even my grandkids like them. :)
-
I couldn't make my mind up - so going for homemade bolognese with fresh Parmesan - Parma and melon and fresh buttered baguette😋 Sis bringing half bottle wine so I can try half a glass to see if I get a reaction 😬
-
I'm in shock, checked hubby's temperature, paella was a success! Didn't tell him beforehand & sure he looked at it, thinking OH NO! But he ate huge plateful & declared it as rather nice! 👍
-
Rice cooked with onions and peas,chicken in a mushroom sauce.
-
Take it there is none left for me CG.
Is hubby feeling ok ;D
We had lemon and herb roast chicken with roasted veggies and roasted sweet potatoes. Followed a good bit later by a mini magnum lolly.
Mrs Brown.
-
Sorry all gone Mrs B. ::)
Hubby is ok, so far as I can tell. Just tweaked a recipe I got online. It had lots of shellfish, which hubby isn't too keen on. Prawns are ok, but that's it. So all in all I'd call it a success. :)
-
Freshly caught trout with sweetcorn and runner beans
-
Salmon and shellfish linguine with a crispy green salad. Strawberries and a tiny dollop of mascapone, oh and a small piece of walnut shortcake for good measure!
-
ER - I am so envious right now ??? I loved cooking - and like everything else it's all gone to pot since January :'( hoping that'll be me once again sometime soon :-\
-
Oh Daisy, you'll get there sweetheart, you'll be cooking up a storm before you know it! x
Tonight given a real feeling of Autumn here, it was comfort food. Lamb and rosemary sausages, sprout colcannon, shredded spring greens and carrots and a thick red wine and onion gravy.
-
Oily fish day here so I had kippers- may regret it later as like smoked mackerel I like them more than they like me.
-
M&S steak pie.
Couldn't be bothered tonight. ::)
DaisyB.....I go through stages of loving cooking then I go through my I really can't be bothered phase. I'm sure you will get back to it soon.
Mrs Brown.
-
Me too DaisyB- used to be a good cook and enjoy it. Not so much now.
Hubbys out so I've had a packet of crisps. Some ham and cheese and a glass of rose wine. Not good.
Wish I had two packets of crisps.
I'm generally a healthy eater/ cook from scratch person but I can't be arsed these days. Luckily I've taught DH quite well and I don't even interfere now when he's cooking- I'm just grateful for whatever he makes. Even if it's crap... ;D
-
Hubbys out so I've had a packet of crisps. Some ham and cheese and a glass of rose wine. Not good.
Bet you enjoyed it, Michelemabelle! It's funny, isn't it - these evenings we get when our OH's are out and we can have "me" food. My Hubby's out and I've had my favourite sausages (he's not a sausage fan), green beans and a glass of white wine - chilled, you understand.....
:)
-
Hello Dulciana- not sure if it's the wine or you that's chilled! Would be excellent if it's both!
I love it when he's out- miss him but it means I can just cut loose!
-
Nowt :P
-

DH is great with Neanderthal stuff like fixing the guttering, just designed and erected new decking - making furniture from old wood - but cook 😬 He tries but it's a struggle bless him
-
Emm sounds like my hubby Daisy, cereal, toast or egg sandwich, that's as good as it gets! (And none of these he does particularly well either!!)
Tonight salmon with a sweet chilli and ginger dressing, lemon rice, vegetable stir fry of broccoli, sugarsnaps, spinach, baby corn, edamame, sping onion and garlic.
-
Roast chicken, roast jersey royals, home made sage and onion stuffing balls, homemade Yorkshires, carrots and cauli with homemade gravy. The smell is amazing :-*
-
Oh I LOVE Yorkshire pudding ....... I can smell it from here ;D
Himself has put a pizza into the oven for me, he's having smoked fish salad ........ there's healthy then ::)
-
Oh whilst I love this thread, I hate it too!! I want Yorkshire pud and roast chicken, how much of a spoilt brat do I sound?! :) Bleurgh, goody two shoes salmon here, at least pizza has some naughtiness about it CLKD! Enjoy ladies, I'm sure you will x
-
Lamb skewers and Greek salad with flat bread.
If it stays dry then it will go on the BBQ, if not then under the grill.
I know what you mean Elizabethrose......everyone's dinner always sounds better. ;D
-
Elizabethrose I'm the same. I type what we are having, read what everyone else is having and then I really fancy that instead! No pleasing me sometimes ;D
-
I don't like lamb so no danger there MrsB! What's a Greek salad :-\
He's added fresh garlic to the top of the pizza.
-
I cooked! ::) A little window of relief and clarity and I made champ and corned beef ;D not my usual style but it was delicious! Proper good quality corned beef sliced , fluffy Maris piper potatoes creamed with scallions and butter and a big glass of buttermilk to top it off😋
-
A Greek Salad is.
Cucumber and tomatoes with red onions and Greek olives. Toss in some olive oil with dried oregano then add cubes of Feta cheese.
Yummy.
-
:-X ......... :D
-
:rofl:
Not your thing CLKD
-
Nope :lol: but thanks for the explanation. Himself would enjoy it. That's not actually cooking though what would I know ;)
-
Going to pinch that recipe Mrs B ;)
-
Continuing with the Greek theme, moussaka and salad. Found some large beautiful aubergines this morning, couldn't resist! Thankfully have some batch cooked sauce in the freezer so easy peasy lemon squeezy! :) His fav, let's see if I can put a spring in the step of hop-a-long! ;)
-
DH made a very yummy lasagne yesterday (for the first time) so we will have the leftovers with salad when we get back from the gym.
-
I made Irish stew - with Aberdeen Angus steak ;D was delicious - glad to have a little normality back last couple of days x
-
There's a joke there somewhere DaisyB ;D
Nowt. Other than a round of toast. It's been picnic food today ;)
-
:rofl:
-
Bangers & Mash tonight.
-
Selection of cold meats and smoked salmon tonight for us. Stick it all on a plate and then just help yourself kind of meal.
Easy peasy
-
Roasted chicken, roasted squash and new potatoes with mint ...... around 6.00-6.30 p.m.
-
Yummy CLKD. Are they your own potatoes. Ours are nowhere near ready yet as they are main crop. I do love a new potato
-
My cousin and his partner are over this evening so we are having an Indian banquet courtesy of the Indian takeaway :)
-
..... with finger bowls?
-
Oh yes I think they'll be needed CLKD :)
-
MrsB - I had the 1st new potato last night, I dug it up in a quiet corner of the garden from a root grown there 2 years ago. It tasted lovely! We have bought a few but they don't taste the same, nor do Jersey Royals taste as they did when I was a kid!?! ........ Himself will lift a root later to see if any are ready in his patch :). With freshly grown mint ...... nowt better 8)
Then we have cold chicken with sweet corn, peas in the pods for lunch/supper tomorrow as it's Wall-2-Wall Sport on TV!
-
Baked ham,salad and potatoes.
-
Don't know yet. Potatoes and..............?
-
.... butter with black pepper ? along with softly steamed broad beans ....... butter and black pepper?
Chicken done. Eaten. Although we paid nearly a tenner for a farm raised it doesn't taste much different from a Supermarket bird ::)
-
We have taste tasted loads of different ones CLKD.
I really want to taste a huge difference between cheap ones and organic ones but I just can't.
We have now settled on a British chicken from our fishmonger. These are sold as anti biotic free British chickens..
They taste really good.
-
Does he sell fish as well :D -
It really does depend on how much chicken grub, i.e pellets or mash, that the birds have access to.
-
Thai chicen curry, chinese vegetables and lemon grass and coconut rice. Delicious, even if I say so myself but when I look at my devastated kitchen I wonder whether it was worth it. Jasmine tea and a Hotel Chocolate raspberry chocolate whilst I'm cleaning up. Hubby has feet up watching Wimbledon :poke2:
-
Just passed my lovely fishmonger and saw some dinosaur crabs in the window: now how's a gal to resist those little fellas?! Double the price my lovely fisherman charge in Cornwall but needs must!
Tonight it will be pick your own with a crunchy green salad, roasted tomatoes and maybe some roasted asparagus too. Oh and a crunchy baguette.
-
Its a quick tea tonight - jacket spuds with local sausages and baked beans. Last night I did local new potatoes, local ham and a huge salad but today I've had Mum here all day and had to dash out while she was asleep after lunch and then have to take her back to her care home in a while so its a quickie tonight.
-
'dinosaur' crabs :-\ - pre-historic or HUGE? ;)
Nowt.
How's your Mum PF?
-
Huge beast! Will do two days for sure. Might do some Thai crab cakes tomorrow but there still may be some left. Crab and sweetcorn soup or crab sarnies? Shellfish/crustaceans are definitely my favourite things to eat.
Why nowt tonight? Have you had a late lunch? x
-
smoked mackerel with organic sweet potatoes and tenderstem broccoli. Vegetarian hubby has a spinach, feta and pine nut quiche. First strawberries of the season with creme fraiche afterwards.
-
Ooh yummy!
-
Spag Bol tonight.
DD's request....just what she fancied.
Why are you not eating CLKD, has himself not got things sorted or are you not hungry.
I just love seafood. Best I've ever had is in Oban....just to die for really.
Only thing I can't eat is oysters....had an unfortunate reaction and am scared to try again.
DD and her boyfriend like fishing and bring us home mackerel. Hubby loves it.....with me it's the gift that keeps on giving. ::)
Mrs Brown
-
Aubergines and sweet potatoes in coconut sauce - recipe in my slow cooker book. It went in at 10am this morning and is just about done. Made hubby some pancakes to use up a lemon as well :)
-
My one night off cooking so :gym: :party: :parti: :jiggy: :spin:
Indian takeaway! Yum yum, found one which does vegan Korma.
-
Fish pie and broccoli, flat beans and garlicky spinach. Oh and I made a Mrs Pettigrew's lemon cake so may sneak a cheeky slice of that with my green tea as well! :boobs:
-
Chicken curry, rice & naan bread for hubby and son, tonight, made it spicier tonight!
-

-
It's Friday. Steak and (healthy) chips :-)
-
Well, tonight I got a packet of minced lamb out of the freezer, put it in the microwave to defrost - 2 sessions with a 10 minute rest in the middle.
I made myself some coffee with milk, and went to put it in the microwave ::)
So I took the mince out after its first zap and heated the coffee, put the mince back for a 10minute wait, then 3 minute zap.
Went to deal with e-mails and drink coffee.
Bang! :o
I had put the mince on for a 10 minute full power zap and the packet had popped and the mince was half cooked and liquid was everywhere. So I took the turntable out thinking I would fry it off quickly to finish the cooking, then put some leeks in that needed using up. So I heated the pan and put in some olive oil. Only it was a bit thin and brown ??? and smelt of .........marsala left over from Christmas.
So I put the hot marsala in a cup and thought about drinking it or putting it in my coffee :-\
Have fried off the mince with leeks, carrots and garlic and put the marsala back in to see if it helps the mince get over its bad start :-X Put some potatoes on the top and it is in the oven.
Hotpot? :-*
-
I've just had a pasty fingers (and legs) crossed it stays down I was bloody starving had to have something a bit more filling oh well it was worth it 😂😂

Don't call out for Kentucky fried chicken - they are closed. Across the UK. The excuse being, they can't buy enough chicken to meet demand :-\.

It wasn't so much what I cooked last night but what I ate yesterday! Does the progesterone phase of sequi have this effect on anyone else? Usually I am a two healthy meals a day girl. But yesterday - late breakfast bacon sandwich because I was ravenous, followed by a full on Sunday dinner about 5 hours later (still ravenous) followed by FOUR bars of chocolate, followed by toast and jam at 11pm. Disaster!! I don't know what went on but I hope it doesn't happen every month !
Not cooking tonight, going on a road trip and eating out. In Salisbury of all places ... :-\

-
I love chip shop.
But I can't eat it much, every time I eat it I feel soooo sick.
Think it's my liver disease can't digest the fat too good.
Pie's upset my stomach, so don't have them very often either.
Onions upset me too but I won't give them up.
So, enjoy your haddock n chips, kernow, also it saves you cooking.

Interesting doing it in the oven. May I ask what temp and how long you cook it for?
-
Hi Snoooze, I do it on 180 for around 25 to 30 minutes we like it very well done,i much prefer this to frying keeps all those lovely flavours in.x
-
Hi everyone
That sounds lovely daisydot, I might try that in the week,
Only with chips n salad, n mushrooms, my other 1/2 don't like
Garlic so will have to do them separate.
Saves getting the griddle pan out.
Jd. X. :clapping:
-
My mouth is watering! Will give it a try. Thanks.
-
If you like it really brown leave it in 35 mins sometimes I do that,I cook my lamb cutlets that way,no garlic,just salt and pepper and olive oil and I brown pork shoulder steaks in frying pan on high heat then put in roasting tray with shallots and gravy and cook n oven at 180 for just about an hour fifteen mins.theyre just delicious takes ages to get the smell out the house lol,pork shoulder steaks are under £3 for around 4 so it's a good dinner for a lean night lol.
Hope I've not bored you xx

You just can't win.
Lol jd x
-
Tonight we are having smoked haddock chips and peas,might even have a pudding lol.
-
Chicken Curry - Himself did a batch cook in the week for the freezer, easy to take out, de-frost and add to pasta or rice. So that's probably all I can manage this evening, what with the cold and everything :-\
-
Hope you feel better soon x
-
Roast lamb, lots of veg, followed by a bought cherry and almond tart with cream.

Also made flapjacks today. Very naughty. ;)

-
Beef Stroganoff from Tesco, with a handful of lettuce. Mea culpa. Feeling foul and can't be bothered to cook tonight. Thank God for the occasional ready meal! Am I the only one on here to admit I sometimes use them? At least I made enough beef stew yesterday to be able to put some in the freezer, so I hope that cancels out tonight's sin! ;D
JP x
-
Not a lot of cooking involved.
Salmon and salad.
Lanzalover x

;)
X
-
Glad to know I'm not alone, Kernow. And Daisydot, you're dead crafty!!
JP x
-
No joaniepat
I do like ready meals, but, my OH doesn't!
He won't eat pasta, supermarket curry, Chinese(except Chinese curry)
Well, just about anything you can buy ready made!
He won't eat onions, or anything spicy like Mexican food.
He really is boring when it comes to food.
I've tried for years to get him to try different things but he won't!
It's his mothers fault, she's the same, didn't give him the experience of trying different
tastes because she didn't like them! When he was young.
Sad really, because he's missing out on some really good things.
Jd x
-
jd, what a shame about your OH! He is indeed missing out, but I hope that doesn't mean you have to.
My father was just the same, but Mum and I would eat anything.
I have rosacea and anything spicey can make my face flush nowadays, but you've inspired me to make a very mild chicken curry. Think I'd better not trust a ready made one, though!
JP x
-
We're having spatchcock chicken roasted with carrots and parsnips in olive oil and honey and roast potatoes,I don't get why my cholesterol is so high when I think my diet is good,got to be my boiled eggs I think bummer I enjoyed them in the morning too.lol
-
Mince carrots onions peas and cauliflower.
Comfort food tonight.
Lanzalover
-
We had roast chicken, mash potatoes, roasted carrots n potatoes,
Broccoli, Savoy cabbage, and stuffing.
I love my veg, I only ever have a tiny bit of meat, whatever it is,
I'd sooner eat a plate of veg. Oh and home made gravey, they don't like bistro gravey.
No pudding though tonight.
Joaniepat,
No not in the least, I love my garlic and onions, he sometimes moans because I stink of
garlic but I'm used to that by now. He can go an whistle, I wouldn't stop eating my garlic
because he don't like it..lol
I get quite annoyed though when he won't try anything new, even now ,after all these years
I try to get him to taste things, but he won't, and I'm sure he'd like it.
but I suppose you can't change someone who's set in their ways. (Silly old goat) :beat: lol
Hope you're curry was nice and you enjoyed it.
Daisydot,
I'll have to have a look for those bags, there's a Lakeland shop not too far from me.
Although OH likes his to cut up on a plate instead of in a toasted sandwich,
if it's a toasted sandwich he wants, then the proper sandwich toaster has to come.out. >:( :P
Just one of his many funny ways.. :-*
Jd x
-
He can still do that jd it just slides out the bag cheese all nicely melted into the beans lol
-
Oh right , I'll have a look for them one day when we're round that way.

Keep pressing the wrong imojis....lol

Good Day ladies xxx
So its Sunday morning in my corner of the world... well... almost noon. Being me go good and had a fruit smoothie for brekkie... resisted the pan au chocolate the fella bought me as a treat... bless (he's still not quite getting that my diet must change!)
Last night's menu was baked trout fillets with quinoa and feta cheese salad...
Tonight will be a good old pot roast chicken with spuds and as much green veg as I can get on the plate.... need iron!
Does anyone else here make their own broth? One of the main reasons for getting chicken is to make broth and use to drink or make soups/risotto... Yum!
-
I just cooked turkey joint wrapped in bacon, roast poatoes, yorkshire puds, sprouts, peas and carrots. We then had a chocolate brownie pie with double cream. this was for five people.
-
Not cooking today, having some sort

Can't cook while England's playing.....lol
-
Beans on toast. Too hot to cook much.
I remember my grannies cooking chicken bones/carcass to make soup - it would simmer for hours and 'bits' would be thrown in: spare veg., peas, grains, salt, pepper ........ and served with thick bread. I'm heavily into roasted veg. ........ lots of. Good cold the next day!

I've got rib eye steak which I salt n pepper coat in olive oil then put in open foil in the oven for around 30-40 mins,we like it well done.the flavours are fab and it's so tender.
Peppercorn sauce with chestnut mushrooms lovely beefy flavour from them
New baby potatoes boiled and peas and carrots. Definately got my appetite back lol.
-
Hi Hasty 180 sorry should have said that.If I'm honest I do all the steak I cook in the oven these days it's so much nicer and the real flavours come out if you don't faff around with it just good old salt pepper and the steak juices mix beautifully with the oilive oil,if you like it rarer just adjust the times to suit ,not the temperature.its £8 for two good sized bits of either rib eye or sirloin from marks well worth it.Have fun xx
-
To hot to eat so we've just had salmon salad followed by strawberries and fresh cream.

It's the wafting petrol smell that should be banned. Also, if someone is vegetarian, we don't want to smell meat! I moved out of the cave ;D

Pork chops and salad really enjoyed it probably because I hadn't had any lunch.
Lanzalover x

I cooked chicken and lamb chops (for son)
Roasted veg, mashed potatoes, and cauliflower cheese.
I really enjoyed it, I was starving, only thing is,

Sounds awful, but it's delicious.

Left in fridge overnight. this morning I have made coronation chicken using mayonnaise, greek yoghourt, fresh chopped mint, curry powder and a few raisins and pomegranate seeds.

Then we had local strawberries and cream.

Must be bloody barmy, cooking in this heat.....
It was nice though.....
-
I think anyone who cooks in this weather is very brave! Can't have the oven on in my tiny kitchen in this heat, I would keel over. Even using the hob is a trial, so tonight's dinner was microwaved paella and salad. It was vey nice.
JP x
-
You're braver than me Jeanie,
I couldn't eat it.... :barf:
Can't eat kidneys either.....
I'd rather have the injection....lol :beaurk:

Slimming Worlds' Sausage Casserole.
I've just prepared the veg & just thinking this was probably a bad idea as it's going to be very hot out in my little kitchen.
:hotflash:
-
Jeaniewigs, I'm sure they both count as two of your five a day, somehow!
Kazikins, I hope you managed OK today in your tiny kitchen. I also have a tiny kitchen, with a west facing window, so I'd probably keel over if I put the oven on in this heat. Even using the hob is a trial at the moment. If I can't microwave it or eat it cold, then I ain't eating it at all.
JP x
-
Sorry to hear that Jeaniewigs, hope you feel better soon. A bland diet for a couple of days and taking things easy will hopefully sort things out. The heat doesn't help, but it's due to get cooler by midweek. Take care.
JP x

No cooking for me today! Eating out at lunchtime followed by a walk by the river.

Have u tried black eyed beans, they make a gorgeous 'shepards' pie, in fact a great alternative to anything with minced animal in. Think I'm going to make phat thai if I remember to pick up the tofu.

Well, DH nearly took the top of our heads with the meals this week. Using a newly bought chilly :o added to chopped chicken breasts stir fried with mixed veg., it was SO hot :-X- ;D - I did worry that the meat would have taken up the chilly during 2day in the fridge but this evening's meal wasn't too much hotter ::)

I had a portion of sauce made earlier in the week (onion, celery, mushroom, pancetta, passata and butter beans with paprika) so have just eaten it with a griddled salmon steak). Will probably have the rest of the sauce with pasta tomorrow.

-
Cheesy pasta for OH and pizza for me (yep,you guessed,wheat free)hope it turns out nice
-
R U making the base from scratch or have you found a 'free from' ?
Years ago DH would make a pizza-type bread meal. He would buy French sticks and cut them into pieces. He would layer with cheese, tomatoes, peppers, chopped garlic, black pepper - each layer would be grilled independently in layers. It got a bit sickly for me so he stopped making it. But if you explore breads or pitta you may find 'free from' ;). Nice hot or cold.
-
Mmm, fishfingers chips n peas.
We're having that in the week....lol
Haven't had that for ages......🤤
How'd you feel now Lanza? Better I hope......

Oh Jay, couple years ago we went to Nottingham to see Lee Evens,
And we had a pub dinner.
I had this tart thingy off the vegetarian menu, which was broccoli, cheese and something else, can't remember, and it was lovely...any ideas what else it could have been?
Wasn't tomato, I also buy sometimes, the tarts from Sainsbury's which are feta cheese, tomatoes and broccoli, I love em....
-
Was it sun dried tomatoes? I love quiche, I make my own,and eat them cold,so common 😏 least I've moved on from eating cold Chinese food on a Sunday morning 😝
-
Can't remember what it was but Jeeze it was lovely.
Might get one of those tarty things from Sainsbury's tomorrow, and have with salad.
I've gone right off food, can't find anything that tickles me fancy!

I'm making a Brie,courgette and tomato tart for me and OH is having prawns and scallops in a creamy coconut sauce
-
Jaypo Wish I could be bothered to make quiche, but as I'm the only one who eats it, find it easier to buy one cut it into portions and freeze it.
We are having stir fry which I prep (don't trust him with a knife!!) and hubby cooks and I only tend to eat the veg.
-
It's easy YG,have to admit I don't make my own base but unlike you I don't need to freeze it coz I eat it all 😆🤣
-
Chicken curry with rice. DH is smoking a trout caught last week and marinated over night.
-
Will have to give it a go Jaypo, of course I could make individual ones, think I have some mini tart tins somewhere - hmmm...
-
My dad used to go trout fishing clkd up in Caithness,where we're originally from and he'd go back up from time to time and fish in loch watten and bring me home a fresh trout (pre veggie days obviously) but even back then I was squeamish about chopping it's head off and gutting it 🤢😂 so eventually he'd do that for me too but I remember it was lovely,parcelled up in the oven with butter & herbs.
Go for it YG,at least then you can put your favourite fillings in,I quite like them cold too, I make for my OH & put sausage & bacon in and top with cheese

Dinner was rubbish, it looked rubbish, tasted ok, just, so I was right to start with! 😠😠
Biscuits tomorrow, I might even give them a selection..😂😂
-
Ha,mine was rubbish too,because of my nut intolerance thing, I decided to try making a satay sauce with my nut free peanut butter (don't ask) suffice to say ........ 🤢🤮 so now I'm hungry
-
You cannot have nut free peanut butter >:( ..... peanuts grow in the ground and are pulled out like spuds ........
Also be warned: many food stuffs are products in factories where they process nuts.
-
You bloody well CAN have peanut free peanut butter 😂🤣😂🤣
Well actually,as I've just found out you definitely CANT,it's close but the texture was weird,bit like your cheese with no cheese in it 😆😆
-
peanuts - it's like suggesting that butter isn't ..........
What is peanut free peanut butter?
1. Sunflower Seed Butter. The closest spread to peanut butter I've found in terms of flavor and texture is sunflower seed butter. ... You can also make your own sunflower seed butter, with some pumpkin seeds (another nut-free alternative) thrown in for good measure.
Why would someone think that pumpkin seeds would substitute peanuts, why not simply accept that if 1 has an allergy to nuts then there isn't anything that would even taste like nuts !
-
It's soya and flavouring and oil but not to my taste,I had to add lots of sweet chilli sauce and soy
-
Some alternatives just don't work :sick02:
-
What is vegan cheese made out of?
Depending on the brand and recipe that's used, vegan cheese can be made from soy protein (used in shiny, slick, rubbery varieties), solidified vegetable oil (like coconut, palm, or safflower) nutritional yeast, thickening agar flakes, nuts (including cashews, macadamias, and almonds), tapioca flour, natural enzymes, ...23 Dec 2015
-
I've tried a couple of varieties but oh my,no no no,I've had to give up enough with all my stupid allergies etc,I'm NOT giving up cheese,you should've grated some of the proper stuff on top
-
Haven't any in the house :D.
Picnic tomorrow :) : chilly stuffed tomatoes, ham, bread rolls, egg custards, Coke ..........
-
What's are the tomatoes made from 😂🤣
-

-
I love eggs, in any shape or form, except pickled :sick02:
It's funny how tastes in food differ from person to person. There is not much I don't like but it's never a mild dislike but a really can't bear it.
Perhaps a new thread, or I expect you will find an old one CLKD ;D
-
I love eggs as well
Sweet potato & chilli fishcakes with salad & chicken fillets and chips for the teenager who doesn't eat fish!!

Did I put you in the mood for a curry Jillydoll?
-
We nearly always have a curry on a Saturday, Yorkie,...
Saturdays are just not Saturdays without one....😂
Then I feel ill after, and wish I'd never eaten it all.....🤢🤢. 😂🤣
-
The yoghurt dishes are to cleanse the palate between mouthfuls and one should end a curry with lemon sorbet ;)
DH suddenly realised what the time actually is [that's the trouble with nights getting lighter] and has dashed to prepare our evening meal: trout caught yesterday with roasted veggies..
-
Chinese take away on a Saturday for us,the only evening I don't flippin cook🤨

Oh YG I know exactly what you mean,sometimes I spend so long preparing and then cooking,when I actually sit down I Cant be bothered eating it
-
Awful isn't it, as the food always looks and smells good
-
I'm the same, especially on a Sunday, when I've slaved over the cooker

Dinner tonight was rubbish....
Cornflakes later, I reckon.....😉

I'm so busy whizzing round the kitchen,as sometimes im making 3 different meals 🤨 I either can't go into slow mode when I'm eating or I just can't be bugged eating it.

Lanzalover x
-
You veggie now Jill 😆 is that my influence?
I had enchiladas and OH had chicken and prawn egg fried rice
-
Tbh, I don't eat a lot of meat anyway.
I could eat just veg when I cook dinners.
Trouble with me is, I analyse what it actually is I'm cooking, and it turns my stomach.
But I still eat a little bit, don't quite know how that works, but that's it.
I particularly hate cooking a whole chicken, now that does make me 🤢🤢🤮
I think it's only because I cook for everyone else, if it was just for me, I'd probably never buy meat....im not overly keen on any meat...
-
We all ate the same meal I made Pollo Alla Cacciatora
-
When I very first started cooking for my OH I was an nightmare,being veggie for 25 years I'd never even handled meat(shut up Jill) this day I thought I'd try cooking a steak so I placed it on a plate to take it to cooker,did a bit not touch my hand and I was waaaaaaaa yuuuuk OMG!!! Then dropped it on floor,I was Making such a noise,my OH came zooming through from the other room,saw the blood everywhere and went into panic,where have you injured yourself,let me see.i just stood there whining like a child going “the meat touched my hand†lol I'm ok now though,the only thing I absolutely refuse to make is kidneys 🤢🤮even thinking about them 🤮
-
Say that again Yorkie? What's that? Italian?
🤣😂🤣😂 Jay, I couldn't eat kidneys, nor liver, or anything like that, 🤢🤢
I have to fancy fish , can't do the smell, and even then it's only cod...nothing fancy....

-
I never fancy fish stew/pie ......... I will eat fish as it is even with the head on ::)
But don't even consider octopus :o
That'll be a bit messy though jillydoll :-\ ;)
-
Fish stew :sick02: NOWAY...
I used to eat prawns, when a lot younger, couldn't now , me and my mom used to eat cockles and crab when we went to the fish market, many years ago....I could still eat cockles, not the crab.....😀

🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮
😆😂
When I buy fish,it's got to be prepared completely,I'm such a wimp
-
Not a wimp at all. There are things I would do years ago but I couldn't tackle now.
Winkles - boiled in their shells and pulled out with a pin
Cockles - boiled and eaten from their shells with lots of brown bread and butter and a big bucket in which to put the shells. DH's family would cook them, keep them in vinegar, drain off the vinegar - lovely on hot toast!
Tripe anyone ;D
-
Thank goodness I've eaten🤢
When my OH was a boy in Skye he and his sister would go and collect wrinkles and other shellfish which they called clappydoos,scallops I think
-
Wrinkles? That's what are on my face Jay....😢😢
Think you mean winkles.......? 🤣😂🤣😂
Don't fancy eating a boiled Wrinkle! 🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🤣😂🤣
-
Oh, yes. The devil is in the small print.

Really enjoyed my baked potato, haven't had one for a long time.

Can't wait, I'm starving......😋
Mine is similar! I am currently cooking a shoulder of lamb, roasties, broccoli, glazed carrots, peas, yorkshires (my lot want them with everything) gravy and mint sauce. I have a small swede so may cook that too. At SW people cook what they call Singing Swede. You just put the whole swede in the microwave for about 20 minutes and when it starts to “sing†its done then you scoop it out.
I have a strawberry cheesecake for dessert for everyone except me but Tesco were doing 1 kg trays of beautiful big strawberries for £4 so I will have some of those. Because they are trays rather than punnets the strawberries are in a single layer and all are perfect.
-
We had Beef steaks, Yorkshire puds, carrots & broccoli and in oven at mo a Rhubarb crumble for dessert

Cooked the roast we were going to have yesterday
Roast chicken,roast potatoes, stuffing, Yorkshire puddings, carrot and swede mash, cauliflower and broccoli.

That reminds me: we went to a cafe a few years ago and the produce was locally sourced: when asked, the waitress told us 'tesco :o ......

Sounds yummy YG😊
I went to some cafe or other and it said home made soup,so I asked if it was suitable for vegetarians and the assistant said, I'll just go and check,she came back and said,can't see anything on the packet 😳😆

-
Home made pizza for me and steak for OH
-
R U feeling better with the new diet regime?
-
I think so,but wheat free stuff isn't that great,I now long for a bit of bread and butter ☹️ Although I made the pizza base with that flour and it turned out really nice.
On a Monday especially,I'd go to Tesco and without a doubt I'd be in and out of their loos,haven't done that since I started the diet,so fingers crossed
-
That has to be a positive. It's early days can you tart up the new diet with salt/pepper/ginger/garlic?
-
Yes I suppose so,also I've stopped nuts,my daughter halved a peanut and rubbed it on my hand and a few minutes later a rash appeared and it was sore,so what did they do to my guts?inflammation? Anyway, I like cooking and experimenting,I'm sure I won't go hungry and I can still eat chocolate and crisps.........bonus 😆
-
I'd die without my nuts, 😂 and proper bread....I'm a right carb junkie...
-
Nuts have lots of energy and oils in ........ but many people World wide are allergic to them.
I've eaten 3 Brazils this evening for pudding. Oh and a small piece of nut chocolate.
-
I'd die without my nuts, 😂 and proper bread....I'm a right carb junkie...
S'funny,that's what my OH says😳😂

Roast beef from our local Farm; new boiled spuds, roasted carrots/parsnip and Yorkshires
-
When my dad was in India, just after the war ended, he used to say to my brothers when they had a curry......'that's not a curry, curry is what I eat out in India, not that rubbish!' 😂🤣 of course, totally different.....
-
I live on curries when we go on our cruise as the chefs are mostly Indian and oh yum,there is definitely a difference,your dad was right 😊
-
Curry? You've never had a proper curry! He use to say! 😆😆
Beef, Yorkshire puddings, roasted carrots n potatoes, mash, cauliflower, broccoli. Gravey.
Strawberries & ice cream....
-
Eeee when I were a lad 😆😂
Yeah,your dad not me 😆🤣😅😂
-
Chilli tonight. I always get it too hot though. :angryfire:
-
Currently cooking roast beef in mustard crust. Hedgehog potatoes, carrots, leeks and sweetheart cabbage and yorkshire puds and gravy. dessert is a bought chocolate cheesecake.
regarding the curry debate, I lived in Leicester for 16 years which has a huge Asian population. I worked with asian girls and used to go back to their homes where older ladies would be sitting on the floor with a large bowl of rice between their knees preparing it to cook. i watched them making samosas, japatis and lots of sweet snacks using loads of condensed milk. I still use recipes they gave me as I cook all my curries from scratch. Their recipes are quite different to what we get in restaurants as they are made to suit the British palate. likewise curry mixes and jars.

PF - DH uses a lot of coconut 'milk' in curries. Samosas are Oh So Fiddly but Oh So Worth it ;). It is worth noting too that the men ate separately from the women - when asked we were told 'tradition'. Well nope. It's because the women were busy cooking ;D

-
How do you make the cheese and pot a pie Jill?
Think we'll find a pub somewhere for dinner,don't know how long this immunology thing takes
-
Good idea Jay, let someone else cook tonight....
Mash the potatoes, with butter and milk, as you normally would, add in a load of grated cheese, mash again, and stir with a fork so there's no lumps, turn out into a dish, sprinkle more grated cheese over the top, pop in oven or if it's still really hot, under the grill until the cheese melts and has gone crispy in places...some people add sliced tomatoes on top too, but my OH don't like tomatoes.
-
Phwaarrr,comfort food at it's best 😊
-
Not very good for the old waist line though....
It is nice, but very sickly.
Nice with the beans too.

Maybe not but we've got to enjoy our grub otherwise what would be the point

Yorkie had something similar the other day, and I was dribbling when I read it, so I just had to cook the same! ...and it was lovely with the fresh mint too......so thanx Yorkie. 👍🏻 ;D
-
I love lamb too, not a fan of mint sauce though!!
Turkey stir fry, teriyaki sauce, peppers, green beans.
-
No problem JD glad you enjoyed it. Our lamb was delicious - in the end I marinated lamb in rapeseed oil, thinly sliced garlic, fresh thyme and salt & pepper, the minted new potatoes were just as good.
-
I made potato,cheese & onion pasty for me and made a burger for OH
Has anyone ever tried making gluten-free pastry?and I mean WITHOUT throwing it halfway across the kitchen 🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡
-
Ahh sounds delicious Yorkie, and I'd eat it that way, but OH doesn't like garlic. He likes it just salt n peppered.
I'll do that next time, I do cook my ribeyes in garlic and onions, beautiful.....
I even bought some fresh mint, I havnt cooked new potatoes with fresh mint for years, me and my mom used to when I was much, much younger, I can remember her teaching me how to cook them. A memory that I'll never forget, because it was a happy time. Xx

-
Is it 'fishy' :-\ ........ I don't like fish that tastes like: fish ;D
-
Not particularly, quite like cod as in a 'meaty' kind of texture. It's expensive though & our local supermarket doesn't often have it, although had it last week and this week which is why we are having it two weeks in a row! Fish is good for a fast day as you can have a good amount for less calories than most meat, so you don't feel hard done by.
-
Nothing tonight we had Sunday dinner out it was lovely but feeling stuffed now.

Come on girls, get your mojo back.....fight it! 🤨
Pity we all live miles and miles away from each other...I think we'd all make good friends...🙂

I agree Jillydoll, the laughs we would have, even though I can be a bit slow at times, would love to be quick with a witty retort but by the time I think of something the conversation has moved on ;D

Hey jillywilly,we can both descend on YG next time I'm on my way up to Scotland,you'd soon change your mind about us YG 😆😂🤣

So, I switched with my son, so I ended up eating, a tandoori chicken wrap....only half of it though, as I was full up really quickly....the other half is in the fridge...it was really nice, just too hot! And I can't eat foods that's too spicy and hot. I'll know for next time...🙂
I did have a pint lager though....🤪

Jillydoll, I've only recently been too Indian's, I think my palate is changing, always found indian food too hot before but have enjoyed the milder curries. Still don't like anything too hot/spicy.
-
Yeah, Foxy, my son eats vindaloo sometimes, 🙀😳 don't know how people eat food that hot and manage to enjoy it. 🤷♀️ If there's one thing I can't stand, is my mouth on fire! 💥
-
Korma or biryani for me,that's as adventurous as I get,omg how can he eat a vindaloo😳 🥵
-
Vindaloo is an English invention ;)
It's 'to curry' as in 'to roast'. Spices determine how 'hot' - I had my last spoonful earlier and it was as though all the spices were in it :-X ;D ........ Black pepper, garlic, ginger all add heat. Many recipes are regional depending on which spices are grown in various parts of India. Areas are vegetarian due to not being able to keep meat fresh. DH can make a chicken curry every night of the week and each will taste differently due to his mixes.
So it was a chicken curry on rice and he had cold trout with salad. Full now.
-
Hello :) I'm new to the forum and a keen cook so this thread is good for me! I'm also greedy but having lost over two stone, I'm keen to keep that off!! Anyhoo. Tonight is autumn vegetable salad and deboned and roasted chicken.

Nowt. We ate at lunch time. No wonder people are over-weight, the chips were enough for 5 people :o and the quiche big enough to be cut in half. DH had a large dish of cheesy something, again we could have shared :-\ and I HATE waste :'( but had to send a lot of mine back.
-
Homemade pizza for me,Parma ham wrapped stuffed chicken for OH

CLKD I'm the same, portion sizes just seem to be getting bigger which isn't helpful when you have a small appetite, when we were away in Seahouses my fish & chip portion was enough for 2, but when we go to Whitby they do fish n chips in small, regular or large which is great.
I hate leaving food on my plate but if they will put so much on plate what do they expect!

Cod with onions :sick02: :-X
DH batch cooked mince/mixed veg last week, he will defrost a serving to put with freshly cooked cauli and mash. I feel I need more veg. :-\
-
:rofl: Cod with onions......⬆️
-
I'm sure that is what Foxylady wrote :-\. I wondered about the tomatoes too :-\ ........ rather cod on a bed of rice. Did anyone see the article last week about fad diets and how they don't work because the body compensates short term then goes back to what it likes ? ;-). I don't like cod much unless it's got lots of black pepper and butter on it. With brown bread and butter, it would be grand!
-
not as boring as it sounds re cod, onions & tomato!!!
It was tinned tomato drained, white wine, fried onions, parsley, black pepper, cod fried in pan then baked in oven on the bed of onions & tomato :P :P
Tonight venison cassarole in slow cooker.
It depends what is meant by a fad diet?! Lots of research into the Fast 5:2 and it's health benefits. For me weight loss & general better diet & exercise along with HRT adds to a better quality of life. x
-
:na: actually that sounds lovely. Especially the black pepper, I don't think we use enough spices which can tart up most dishes.
DH made a Bambi curry over the weekend ;) .....

Birdy. That sounds amazing, you will be brilliant at it. I nearly bought a business a year ago but our solicitor found some issues that could not be resolved so unfortunately had to pull out. I will never give up on my dream though. Keep us up to date on how things go. Fingers crossed for you. Xx

When I was at university, I found a job in the first year cooking in a very nice restaurant. My degree was four years so I worked in the restaurant all that time. After uni and also worked for the council in their kitchens in the local guildhall.
I always fancied having a little catering business but was never really keen on selling street food.
Anyway, the tea room came in the market a week or so ago and i've always loved it. It is more retro than chintzy and the building is a converted bank. I have lots of creative ideas and the business is manageable. If I hate it, I can sell it.
Once I get my feet on the ground, I'll invite you all for a slap up afternoon tea with all the trimmings! Xx
Wow Birdy - how exciting. That is great news . Wishing you all the best. That is one of my like to do's too.
-
Hahahaha oh yes pleeeeease do turn into twwwwooooooooo soooooooooooups, I love her
-
Maybe that is what you should call your cafe - Two Soups ....or ' Mrs Overalls' '
I've got a new Aldi vegan pie for tonight - BBQed Jackfruit pie .....think it will either be
very nice or very nasty so have Hawaiian Pizza in for reserve.
A bit bored with food these days.....need to extend my repertoire.

Oh do tell what the pie is like squeaker,when I look at the vegan/veggie stuff with jackfruit,the look of it puts me off :o

Thanks Ladies. PF the fast books by Dr Michael Mosley are fab as is the website. There is a health journal just out too, I bought it last week ?5 in supermarket! December has knocked me off course a bit, too many meals, lunches, choc's etc so did put on 7lbs but had lost 3lb of it last week. Im definately an emotional eater so I need to be in the right frame of mind but I am determined to keep at it as I am enjoying how I feel in smaller size & long term health benefits def a factor to keep me motivated!

-
;D ;D ;D ;D
-
I didnt want to ask....but did wonder about the skirt ;D
-
You got it ;D
On a meander, I found a skirt when cleaning our wardrobe yesterday. My Mum was a very good needlewoman, she embroiled a pattern of leaves around the bottom of a dress which won 1st prize at the WI show in the 1960s. Then I wanted a mini skirt, she told me I would regret it but took the dress from the waist band and made the mini skirt: which I can no longer wear :'(. But I have the skirt as a reminder of how clever she was.
As for what's for tea - far too early to decide ;D

Think she's still trying to get the rice out of the toaster Jill ;D
-
;D ;D chicken fajitas here! x
-
Home made falafels, houmous and curly kale
-
:lol: :-\. I did survive even though I didn't heat it through as hot as I would have liked. Apparently I needed to push 3 rather than 'go'. :'(. Rice was OK though ;D
DH cooked diced chicken, ginger, garlic, chopped potatoes, freshly dug leeks .......... stuffed now.
-
Ooow,sounds lovely Jane,I make falafel too in a warm pitta with butter 🤤

-
chicken & leek cassarole. :P
-
pumpkins. DO NOT carve and throw away, take out the middles to cook with! 1.8M will be left in UK fields this year due to not being able to sell them or because the ground is too wet to get the contractors on to pick them.
That's fields that could be used for other food stuffs !!! as well as in the Fens the pumpkins lay in puddles due to no longer having fallow years. Buy your pumpkins, they keep for months in a cool place. When cut in half they keep, 'fruit' side down on a plate, for weeks. Ours didn't grow as well this year we have had 3 - 2 eaten 1 left on the vine to turn orange.
There are many different shapes too. Chickens will peck at the skins if they aren't roasted enough to eat yourself.
-
I had pasta in a tomato sauce and a bread roll.
Hubby had cawl ( welsh word for soup or stew) And soda bread .
My nephews had chicken korma!
All different tonight, I can’t eat the same as the others so I always end up making several different things !!
-
Made Paella tonight, .missing my family in Lanzarote so thought it would cheer me up. Made far too much so will be eating it for a couple of days now 😋
-
Sausage n mash, peas n gravey.
-
Pumpkin is easy, DH cooks them with other roasting veggies - buy a medium sized fruit; cut in half, scrape out seeds and keep to set next year ;-) - wash the outer skin, turn face side up on an oiled baking tray. Pour a little olive oil over the face side and add a little black pepper. Roast until the fruit is soft. If it's a good quality pumpkin even the skin can be eaten. Any left over can be fried the next evening. The other half keeps face side down keeps in the fridge. Pumpkins keep weeks in a cool area, turning to make sure that the side touching the shelf doesn't go 'off' or mushy. Give it whirl :-). [this is from me, who doesn't cook ;D ]
There are lots of types of pumpkin ........... I think our village is doing similar for kids to tick off on a list.
Don't know what it might be this evening. DH hasn't said ;)
-
Gawd knows! 🤷♀️. 😆
-
Son cooking vegan Thai green curry. Smells amazing.
-
Was it Jane50? DH heated a chicken curry with me and a beef curry both on rice for himself. Stuffed all evening :D

I'm making a pizza tonight
-
I did too ;D ........ how long do eggs usually last?
I had pizza for lunch. I switched on the oven :o
-
Eggs last for ages,don't you put them in water to see if they're still good? If they float,they're bad,or is it if they sink ;D I'm a great help,Google it
Oh well done for opening the oven door ;D
-
:na: I remembered to shut it too ;D
Too early to decide ....... something quick probably.
-
Tuna pasta bake for me.

-
Ah and space travel ;D
chicken curry on rice with home made chutney followed by two dark chocolates
DH made a piece of smoked trout with a light salad - no chocolates :-X
-
DH caught a small trout so has cooked that on a bed of rice with cucumber on the side, he made me a chicken curry with home-made chutney. Stuffed now: but that may be due to the 2 small chocolates .......... :whist:
-
Any Yorkshires left over, please :D

-
We will be having homemade vegan leek and mushroom pie , with potato wedges and sweetcorn :)
-
? all home grown ? ;) our leeks got a critter in this year >:(
-
I'm trying out a new recipe, a skinny version of chicken biryani. Instead of basmati rice, I'm using riced cauliflower to lower the carb content.
-
Did you enjoy it CC? I tried cauliflower rice when I was doing Slimming World. Found I preferred broccoli rice as less strong tasting.
-
Did you enjoy it CC? I tried cauliflower rice when I was doing Slimming World. Found I preferred broccoli rice as less strong tasting.
I did enjoy it! I am eating quite a bit of riced cauliflower instead of potatoes or rice. I haven't tried riced broccoli but I'm interested to try it!
-
Oh noooooooo I tried that cauliflower rice,was nearly sick ;D I did buy the ready made packet stuff though,did you make it yourself c.c?
-
🙀 I saw cauliflower rice the other day, I was tempted to buy some.
Glad I didn't now. 😆
Gawd knows what we're having tonight. 🤷♀️
Totally fed up with food. 😏
-
Oh noooooooo I tried that cauliflower rice,was nearly sick ;D I did buy the ready made packet stuff though,did you make it yourself c.c?
I buy mine frozen, I don't make my own since I don't have a food processer. I will often saute it with chopped mushrooms, baby spinach, a bit of onion and throw in an egg for protein and top it with either grated cheddar or crumbled feta. I season it with salt and pepper and that is lunch. :)
-
Now THAT sounds nice :)
-
Why not eat cauliflower as it is? I love florets raw :-*. Have 2 B eaten slowly otherwise :-X
2 night DH [get that ;) ] is defrosting chicken - will be cooked in the oven covered with garlic and ginger, with roasties and cauliflower boiled gently on top.
-
My son is cooking us a chicken curry 🥘.
It's his specialty and he has all the proper spices (not a jar in sight).
Just walked into the kitchen and the spice filled atmosphere brought on a coughing fit. Plenty of water needed with this one. 🤣
-
DH cooks curry from scratch. Certain spices when flashed in oil cause coughing here. Well worth it though ........
Chicken, veg and cauli - yummy.
-
Pizza
-
We all had fish n chips.
Now we all feel 🤮. ...... ;D
-
Why is it that chish and phipps smells great until 1 is full up ;D
-
Thai green curry followed by homemade choc orange cookies which came out like little cakes..??! Not sure what happened. I may have invented a new type of cookie ;D
-
We are a good testing Panel you know ;D though I don't like orange and chocolate as a combination ::)
What does Thai green curry have in specifically, our recipes are Indian or Tibetan.
-
Chicken dinner. 🤷♀️
-
What time ;D
DH will have the feathers for fly tying ;-). We have that for tomorrow evening with lots of roasted veggies.
Tonight is more difficult - I have fancied Yorkshire puds since Friday afternoon :-\
-
Veggie kebabs for me and OH had salmon and prawn salad
-
Spanish chicken & rice for me & son.
Bacon and eggs for OH.
-
Don't you wish EVERYONE would eat the flippin same for once >:( it's like that here too, I'm having cheesy patties,daughter wants pizza and OH is having shepherds pie
-
I had 1 large Yorkshire last night with hot mince mixture :-*
2night it's chicken if DH remembers ::)
-
Don't you wish EVERYONE would eat the flippin same for once >:( it's like that here too, I'm having cheesy patties,daughter wants pizza and OH is having shepherds pie
Oh you have got your lot into bad habits.
Only ever cooked the one dish for everyone. If not liked they go without or cook their own.
I'm hard I am. 😄.
-
Oh shady,come to mine,sort them all out for me ;D
-
Why should everyone eat the same :-\ ......... it's easier of course. When I was growing up meals were the same every night of the week: boiled eggs with fingers; beans on toast; bubble and squeak .......... when I couldn't digest eggs I would have jam on toast.
We tend to decide what we are going to eat mid-afternoon unless we need to plan ahead i.e. for a picnic. It was sprouts and mash with a roasted chicken: ready for tomorrow's day out ;)
-
No cooking tonight. Take away Indian 😋
-
We are at the discussion stage ;D with no ideas at all ::). Baked beans on hot buttered toast last night. DH has a trout to smoke ...... I may end up with peanut butter on toast and a walnut whip .
-
It was : 1.5 rounds of hot toast with peanut butter. Then nowt else as I was full ::)
2night it's chicken and chips, cooked in the oven.
-
Past with a blue cheese sauce for me and a bacon and sausage quiche for OH
-
Tuna pasta bake for me.
Not a pea in sight! 😂
-
Peas be good for us. Apparently they are a Superfood ;D. That's mushy peas to you and me, something I grew up with either tinned or from the fields. I loves peas I does. Any green beans too: runners, French, dwarf .......
It's roast chicken, spuds, freshly dug parsnips roasted ......... can you smell it?
-
Yes, I like peas too but Jill pours the juice from the tin over the rest of the food on her plate 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 ;D
-
Ah that must be a survival issue. FinL always drank the water/mix from tinned peas/beans. As a Prisoner of War they had no vitamins so he never wasted anything. Nice mixed into hot mashed spuds?
-
Grass Jaypo! 🤨 😆 I'm trying to survive Jaypo, more than anything else! 🤣😂
Aww yes, now your talking, peas and mashed potatoes. 😋
Think it must be a brummie thing. 🤷♀️
Me and my friend from school, on holiday once, used to get cartons of peas from the chippy and eat them in her dads car with a wooden toothpick. 🤣😂
-
Grass?!? Awww geeze girl,now you've lost me,not for the first time ;D
-
grass means something else :-\ :o ;D from the 1960s but youse not old enough to remember that ;)
Probably hot veg with cold roasted chicken. Oh those wooden toothpicks ;D and did you get 'scraps' from the chippy?
-
Cooking? Cold turkey for me ;D yum yum.
-
Not been cooking at all the last few days,whoop whoop!!
-
Back to usual grub. Finished the Canada goose yesterday with veg., any veg. will be put into soup ........ either to freeze as stock or to eat with newly backed bread.
DH is smoking a trout tomorrow.
-
Hope he's OK, most people stick to cigars... ;D
-
:rofl: it certainly can be a messy occupation ;D
-
Creamy pasta with chicken and bacon for OH and veggie curry for me
-
Pancakes. Apparently :-*
-
Turkey... again...
-
:o. don't you have a sheepdog who would welcome something different in his dish ? ....... pancakes were cooked from frozen and very, very, crispy ;D
-
There's a nice gizzard waiting for them tonight. Might have had a bit too much skin, she needed to go out at 3am :( so OH says... I didn't wake up ;D
-
:rofl: :scottie:
-
Barnsley chops.
-
Sausage n mash for OH
Spanish chicken & rice for me & son.
-
Stuffed crepes for me and chicken egg fried rice for OH
-
Those big curly smoked sausages that Mattesons do, with a carbonara sauce & tagliatelli plus garlic bread....yum yum yum.
Stinky breath tonight then ;D
-
I didn't know Matt had a curly sausage. :worm: ;D
-
I didn't know Matt had a curly sausage. :worm: ;D
;D ;D ;D it was vey, very tasty JD...

Did you eat a whole one. Or were you greedy and had seconds too? 🤣😂
-

It's fats and sugars. The 1 thing they shouldn't be given are lumps of fat off joints as this is sticky so the birds are unable to preen feathers.
They will eat cooked rice, fruit cake, sponge cake. Left over muesli and porridge.
-
Didn't know that either,must try putting some mash out for them.

? Quorn ? any1?
The short explanation is that Quorn is a “mycoprotein” fermented in vats from a fungus found in soil. A fuller – but still heavily truncated – one is that it is made from a strain of the soil mould Fusarium venenatum by fermenting it, then adding glucose, fixed nitrogen, vitamins and minerals and heat-treating it to remove excess levels of ribonucleic acid. (In other words, it is a long way from what the phrase “plant food” may seem to denote.)
-
Quorn sadly need to keep up with the times,there are now much nicer tasting veggie alternatives and my OH who is a true carnivore loves the Vivera bacon pieces says they taste exactly like bacon,also Richmond do veggie sausages,again my OH says they're lovely,whereas quorn sausages? Yuk

Also, try it with cheese sauce instead of bechamel sauce. ( think I’ve spelt that right)
Someone years ago made me one, that’s how I knew. 👍
-
I do love pineapple jillydoll, I am not sure in a lasagne though😊 but I am game so will try that next time I make it.

Years ago: when Vesta produced curry in a packet: it was traditional to serve a side dish of salted peanuts as well as pineapple from a tin to place on the rice.

Ohhhh, we used to love Vesta curry when we were kids.
Wouldn’t eat it now tho. ::)
Talking of curry, I’m having Chinese curry tonight. 😋

Tonight I’ve got 3 friends for dinner, one is vegan with a wheat intolerance and on a diet! She also doesn’t like anything spicy. I’m stuck, any ideas plz?
-
Ahh sorry Victoria, saw your post too late, not that I had any ideas you understand. 😂
What delights did you cook for them?
Marks and Spencer’s do a lovely plant based pasta sauce, which I have on gf pasta with salad. Good idea for the next dinner you host.
-
Hi,
I’m afraid I cheated! Wagamamas adapted a vegan curry, picked it up, changed the container and served it! 😂
-
Hahahahhaaaa, good one. ;D
They’ll never know, unless they read this. ;D
:lol:
-
Dh plans on making breaded pork cutlets...that's all I know lol.
-

Yummy!! I just might hop on a plane and come for dinner Songbird! ;D
Dh bought a taco kit, Caribbean Jerk Chicken, I'm going to cut up some mango to go on top. It will be interesting for sure ;D
-
Ooh that sounds fab, C.C.
I absolutely love cooking. I find it relaxes me. Hubby and I are retired now and we always look forward to our Fri and Sat night culinary extravaganza ;D
My work colleagues used to comment on the effort I put in :o.....yummy food, candles, nice music etc but hey.....what's the problem with a bit of romance (even at our age ;D)..x
-
I can cook, won't cook ;). DH can get a meal onto the table in the time it takes me to find the recipe book ;D. He's scrubbing potatoes which will go into the oven. Yesterday he made garlic bread rolls ..... I woke in the night and our bedroom stunk! :o :-X ......... windows wide open now :D
-
CLKD.... ;D
My hubby is my commis chef - I'm rubbish at prep so he does all of the peeling and chopping (to my exacting standards ;))...
I give the orders like a female Gordon Ramsay (minus the swearing of course) :o.....and he replies........"oui chef" ;D....
-
I'm NOT cooking woohooo OH off into Lanark to a fab Chinese we've found
-
Does the fab Chinese cook ............ :whist:
-
Did I imagine it or during WWII, were people limited to 1oz butter and an egg each per week :-\
Thinking about how buyers will need to adjust their grocery shopping because prices are rising: mayB beans on toast without butter or sauce? Egg on toast without butter or sauce? Also the catering industry needs to mayB cut back on how large portions often aren't eaten up, I know our restaurant well enough to ask for a spare plate and cutlery so that I can share the portion of fish, chips and peas with DH.
Is anyone adjusting the way they serve meals?
-
Media are quoting various supermarkets who may be rationing cooking oils. Especially sunflower. However, I was in a deli last week and there are plenty of oils in the shops: not necessarily sunflower, so do look at what else is out there, paritucalry if you make salad dressings. DH uses walnut oil as well as using others for cooking, including a slosh of olive: what's wrong with a slab or marg :-X or a little butter? No need to panic buy!
There is a farm in Lincolnshire that grows sunflowers for the bird seed trade ::). MayB we shouldn't be importing as much oil anyway.
What do others use?
And fish and chip prices are rising. Apparently ::)
-
NEVER listen to the media clkd,it's THEM that start all the panic buying!
Indian takeaway tonight :)
-
Ooo me to Jaypo, what curry are you having. Enjoy :-*
-
I'm having a veggie Dhansak,it's deeeeeliscious

Hope you enjoyed your curry Jaypo. X
-
Steak fajitas and home made lemon meringue pie - yummy yummy in my tummy ;D (and a cheeky wee Rioja :hapij:
-

It was quite good. It's known as Peri Peri chicken and it's a blend of spices that's unique to the dish...not sure which ones though ;D I think it's like a dry rub because there wasn't a sauce like a BBQ sauce.
-
Ooh. I’m cooking butter 🐔 with a huuuggge naan and basmati rice. Scrumdiddlyumptious ::)
BTW, I’m so sad :-\ as nobody seems to be playing the ‘add one word’ or ‘three word game’ anymore. :'(
Oh dear ladies, please will someone play? - I look forward to checking it every day - I know, I’m so sad ;D
:bighug: to everyone…
-
We haven't decided our evening meal. For lunch we had home grown asparagus with cheese 8) :-*

Tonight it’s……..

Going on a week’s cruise in 3 weeks time - I’m back in my favourite jeans so no dieting for me ;D
-
Tonight is slow cooker pulled pork on Kaiser buns, creamy coleslaw, oven-roasted potato wedges, and salad. I'm just about to put the pork in the pot to cook for 5 hours.
-
Tonight:
Veggie salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, herbs, radish and olive oil;
Grilled pork using this (https://lilgrill.com/best-traeger-grill/#product_1) traeger grill, so happy to get it, but I cannot use it often; busmati rice from ricecooker
Home-made ice-cream after this meal
It is actually not very good, but I turned it (https://www.stayroasted.com/coffee-maker-with-timer/) on and had some coffee. Usually I do this when I want to do something at night
-
Yes please,I'll have the ice cream :D
-
Spag Bol. Garlic bread. 😋

A friend just brought me a big bucket full of broad beans from his allotment. We get a lot of stuff like this as we give horse poo away to allotment holders.
I have just podded them all and am going to make a broad bean and courgette salad tonight with new potatoes and maybe some ham or fish fingers.

Hi Dierdre
It’s a form of chicken curry with gujurat spices. It was the first time trying it - it was heavy on the garlic and ginger and not quite creamy enough for me - much more spicy/savoury than I like tbh. Hubby liked it though. Both had garlic breath! :whist:
-
I could smell it from here songbird ;D
Lazy tonight,chucking a GF pizza in the oven
-

Warm salad with chicken, black pud and a softly poached egg tonight 🥚 😋
-
Indian curry for us. 😋
Garlic breath for me too. 🫢😷
-
A meal that doesn’t require water! We’ve been without water for about 5 hours so far. Went to the nearest town to buy water bottles and passed the water board vans and thought that looked encouraging, but no water several hours on. DH is off again to a little supermarket in another town that will be open to buy more water and milk as yours truly forgot to buy milk. I’m in the doghouse! No towels as they are sitting soggily in the washing machine, but let me see…….no water….no showers! ;D
-
Water ok now JuJu?
Chicken salad, for son and OH.
I had tuna Mayo salad sandwich, didn’t want much. 🤷🏼♀️
-
Prawn linguine, my favourite😋
-
DH cooked chicken coujons (sp) last night so will eat cold with left over new potatoes and he's gently steaming some freshly picked French and runner beans. To be eaten on a plate in the cool on our patio :-*
-
Don't forget to tell everyone about your TWOOOOOOO milky ways Jill ;D
-
:na:
Yes, ate two of them, melting aswell they were, made even more yummy. :sick02: ;D
-
Been out for a meal.
Had a rather lovely chicken Caesar salad. :great:
-
Made a vegetable fricasee and sausages. Then I excelled myself and made a Mango Eton Mess and very delicious it was too.

Ooh that sounds lovely, Penny...very "Nigella'esque!"....
We had what I like to call "itsy bitsies" (a little mix up of things) - hubby made pate and mediterranean bread, we had good old fashioned prawn cocktail and a lovely goats cheese, pomegranate and walnut salad - yummy
-
I'm cooking pan fried halibut with rigatoni in a spicy, creamy tomato sauce 😋. Then my home made tiramisu. Scrumdiddlyumptious...
-
A chef will be making mine,not that I'm trying to make anyone jealous ;D
-
A positive reply from me for anyone watching. ;) :::: U won't make me jealous :rofl: apparently it's to be either stir fried chicken with veg./ginger/garlic or pan fried veg with grilled chicken breasts <goes away whistling>
-
Well you are definitely making me jealous Jaypo. I want to be on a ship, eating lovely food and sipping cocktails :drunk:....
I'm having a strop :-\ ;D..
Enjoy Jaypo 😉
-
Thank you 😊 although I just had a salad but had a HUGE pudding for after :D
-
i cooked fish tonight with cherry tomatoes and oven chips. Had run out of new potatoes so had to make do.
I made a mango eton mess for dessert with mango couli. This summer’s favourite dessert recipe.
-
Recently I read an article that rather than aim for 5/7 fruit/veg daily that we should now go for 30 a week :-\
We eat: frozen peas; peppers; home grown frozen beans; frozen sweet corn all mixed with ginger and garlic - 3/4 times a week in stews/chicken stir fries
Chicken or beef curries with mixed veg and rice or naan bread
Tinned soups: tomato (me), chowder (DH) ....
Lots of soft fruits from late April to currently from out garden: black/white/red currants; bilberries; strawberries; raspberries
Home grown parsnips through the Winter months - I can't work out wether we get 30 a week or not ::)
-

Yep, I used to think “5 portions of fruit/veg a day”?? How on earth am I going to achieve that :o but, as you say, CLKD, incorporating fruit/veg in curries/stir fries etc counts just the same as chomping on an apple a day (and I do like a handful of blackberries in a gin and tonic) - does that count? :rofl:
What are bilberries like? Never had those…
-
Of course it counts ;)
Bilberries; blue berries which grow in the wilds in peaty areas chomped by sheep which leaves them pruned and low to the ground. Ripen anytime from late July. When sold in garden centres they are called - mind complete blank :-\ - they need to be grown in ericaceous compost. Rain water preferred.
-
Yes yes it does count songbird ;D Grapes in my wine? Yay that's me sorted ;D
-
I'm not cooking...my birthday present to me...and the puppy of course :scottie: Dh is making something with chicken, some kind of side dish, some type of veg, and fancy bakery sweets for dessert. All I'm doing is opening a bottle of wine ;D
-
Hope you enjoyed it CC. 😉
We just had salad for our dinner. Simples! ;D
-
Oh,happy birthday C.C :)
-
:thankyou: jaypo!

Was there :cake: :cupcake: :bbq: >hands over plate<
:hbday: C.C.
too hot to cook. :-\
-
:tulips2: Thanks! :) There were red velvet squares, strawberry custard tarts, and mixed berry custard tarts. I ended up cooking because dh was too busy watching Stranger Things with the boys, hence I opened the wine early and started before everyone else.
Today is youngest ds's bd. His gf arrived by bus earlier so they are having lunch and strolling along the lake.
More importantly, tonight's dessert is a chocolate hazelnut mousse cake. :parti:
-
it is SO hot that we have been having salads, new potatoes etc for weeks. i went into lovely cool Aldi and bought their Deluxe pizzas and some tubs of potato salad. We just had those for tea with some tomatoes and beetroot. dead easy.

Friday is beer day for me! Going to have salmon burgers on the BBQ...I think a light beer will go well...or the left over pinot grigio in the fridge... ;)
-
Coat the salmon in the beer? Pino in a glass?
Do have plenty of sand and water ready on an 'in case' basis ;)
-
I think I will have to decide which I want in my glass with the salmon, the beer or the pinot...maybe one when I cook and the other when I eat ;D
If things get out of hand I'll just turn off the propane 8)
-
Hopefully it won't run out B4 the meal is ready to eat ;-)
-
Had Paella tonigh in my favourite restaurant in the harbour.

For our delectation tonight ;D we’re having “Sweet spiced lamb shanks with quince and cous cous” (cross between Persian stew and Moroccan tagine). :hapij:
-
That sounds delicious!
-
That sounds delicious!
I hope it is, Dierdre…
Do you know, I love cooking but I have to follow a recipe ;D…..I couldn’t compete on Masterchef! It’s so impressive seeing what they can come up with with a few ingredients ::)
-
Mmmmm, 😋 that’s sounds lovely Songbird. Any left overs, send my way plz. 😃
Enjoy your day Deirdre. 🙋🏼♀️

I'll pop another shank in the pot, Jilly :clapping:
-
Without cous cous :-X tnk
Something from the bottom of the freezer on a Naan bread :-\
-
I'll rustle up a flatbread for you, CLKD ;D
-
:thankyou: however, no need, my personal chef has it all in hand ;). Now if you could pop over to clean the windows after you have washed up :whist:
-
And she's not joking songbird ??? ;D
-
:rofl:
-
:lol:
BBQ chicken wings, chicken breast, tri colour quinoa (hope I can cook it right this time), corn on the cob, salad...maybe a beer. :D
-
The Naan was good but I can't remember what my personal Chef cooked with it :-\
-
Don't worry about that clkd, I couldn't tell my DD what film I watched last night ???
-
I think it was a mince mixture with veg. :-\
-
No, I definitely haven't heard of that film ;D
-
I can remember the music jaypo ;D
-
The hills are alive ……with the sound of music! 🎻🎼 ;D
Not cooking, not hungry, sandwiches or nothing! ……I’ve spoken! ;D🤭
-
Home made chilli con carne with rice and tacos (thankfully have some plain yoghurt in the fridge as I have not been skimpy with the fresh chilli! Hot Hot 🔥) ;D
-
;D. DH has cooked a chicken curry: that may be eaten this evening if rain stops 'play'. No idea otherwise :-\
I'm hungry but not for ??? have gone off cheese, had soup for lunch ......... :-X
-
Ooh, I like a chicken curry. I always have to pop down to the local Indian for a proper nan bread, though. Can't go the supermarket ones :(
I'll tell you what I've gone off just now - eggs! Oh, the very thought! :sick02:
-
I had scrambled eggs yesterday, felt 🤮 afterwards.
Tonight I’m cooking chicken dinner. Even sprouts too. I love em. 😋
Can’t wait, I’m starving.
-
I love sprouts. Always include them in our Xmas Dinner. Really nice with pancetta 😋..
Talking of which I'm cooking butternut squash and pancetta risotto tonight. Hubby loves it!
Just back from a fab Italian deli just outside Glasgow - had to partake of a lovely coffee and cannoli whilst there- well it would be rude not to ;D
-
I haven't been able to tolerate eggs as eggs for many years, my gut simply won't process them. Unless in :cake: :cupcake:. Of course ;D
The very thought :-X and I can't watch anyone eating eggs .......... :beaurk:
The UK grows over 200 types of sprout. Cooked briefly with salt, drained - add butter and lots of black pepper. What's not to like 8)
Tonight: DH will fry the chips from last night (why do chippies make such aneamic looking fries :-\), along with chopped chicken into slices 2B stir fried with veg..
-
Best thing ever, is homemade chips.
Best with egg. ;D
Oh and mushy peas of course . ;D
Havnt had a mushy pea sandwich for ages . :-\
-
Going to attempt BBQing salmon burgers again. Last week's try was a disaster. It stuck to the grill even though I oiled it. Maybe the temp was too high because I was cooking beef burgers at the same time. :-\
-
Snotty eggs 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
Making some veggie Mexican stylee something or other tonight....doesn't that sound lovely ;D
-
Wrap the fish in foil ;-)
Stylee - like a step one might do on Strictly Come Dancing :-) 💃
-
The salmon is to be cooked from frozen, if it was a fresh filet, I'd wrap it in foil..with a little lemon, butter and dill.
Gotta have the grill marks! ;D
-
DH cooks from frozen. Once cooked one can flip it onto the grill to get those marks or put it onto the grill B4 wrapping? Saves it sticking. That's why I don't like BarBQ because it makes more mess than necessary >:( I don't like fish much either :D
-
Fajitas? Jaypo.
I love them. 😋
-
That was good: last night's aneamic chips deep fried to make them crispy :-* 8)
-
That was good: last night's aneamic chips deep fried to make them crispy :-* 8)
When I see chips, I know them as potato chips (crisps to you guys). The only time we refer to "chips" like that is in fish and chips, otherwise, they're fries ;D
Oh great...now I want fish and chips
-
Fajitas? Jaypo.
I love them. 😋
Could've been Jill,who knows ;D
-
I have a few crisped French fries C.C. - left over.
Bit like biscuits = cookies in the US?
Crisps are well; crisps ;D

Yep, cookies=biscuits
popsicles=lollies ;D

In the 1960s we were able to buy 'popsicles' - a tube of iced, flavoured water. To suck on a hot day, bliss.
-
Tiptops we call them. My brothers 1st job after he’d left school was in the tiptop factory. ;D
He’d bring home boxes of them.
We distributed them all out to our friends. ;D
Not sure you can still get them nowadays. 🤷🏼♀️
-
C.C. - how was the salmon? Did U get the grill marks right?
3 fish fingers with mash plus broad and runner beans from the garden 8) followed by ice cream.

I opted for a chicken burger instead, with awesome grill marks ;D
Cooking our usual Sunday dinner of pasta and meatballs.
-
Gf lasagna, chips and salad for me.
Fish n chips for OH.
An egg and chip sandwich for son. 😋
-
Eggs and chip in a sandwich :-X ;D
We are hovering between smoked trout/salad (DH) and fish fingers with mash (Me) but I am veering towards fish and chips ;D
-
Good old chicken dinner.
Plates cleared so was ok. 👍
-
Lamb, veg, mashed potato, mashed swede, and yummy cauliflower cheese.
I’m starving, can’t wait.
-
That sounds lovely Jilly. I do like lamb....
Bog standard quiche with salad for us (homemade quiche of course)...
-
It was nice Songbird.
I’m stuffed now, forgot to get pudding in, so a chocolate bar will have to do! 💁🏼♀️
-
We got Thanksgiving dinner prepping...turkey is in the oven (bacon wrapped this year), stuffing, rutabaga casserole, green beans, Brussel sprouts with bacon and onion, salad, and homemade apple pie and store-bought pumpkin pie with spray whipped cream to dollop. Dh is walking the pup so I can rest for a bit before I open the wine....or....beer...or cider.... ;D
-
Aww have a lovely day CC. 🇨🇦
-
Fish fingers, mash, peas: DH heated up home made soup which was completely greenish/brown :-\
-
Mmmm, love fingers n mash. We’ll have that in the week. ;D
Was it some kind of pea soup?
-
We had chippy tonight.
Fish n chips, it was horrible aswell. 🤷🏼♀️
-
OMG I'm doing a roast dinner today.
Roast beef, roast potatoes (my own, not frozen ones), home grown runners, some manky looking carrots :-\ & gravy.... bugga no Yorkshire puds.
-
Make some cazikins :D
-
My brother and sister in law are coming round for something to eat tonight so have been preping pretty much all day 😳..
Mozzarella, beef tomato and basil for starter.
Ribs with my special sticky marinade, mac & cheese and French fries 😋.
Big brother's providing pud..
Better forget the diet then 🤪
-
Fish fingers, sweet mashed potatoes and tinned peas - how can anyone make peas tasteless! :-\

Are you practicing for Masterchef ;D
-
;D. Oh no! I'd be hopeless in the round where they have to be imaginative and make something with 2 main ingredients and a few larder items. I can only follow recipes ;D ;D
Marcus Wareing would throw me out sharpish.
-
I have to follow a recipe too,although I rarely measure things out,made a veggie curry tonight,surprisingly tasty, I used star anise and it gives it a lovely flavour
-
I can cook toast ;D
-
Yeah but you have a chef clkd ;D
-
Yep 8) :-*
-
What’s his hourly rate CLKD? 🧐
-
Any1 tried beer can chicken on a BarBQ?
-
why do mince pies taste so sweet >:(
-
Ooh, I love mince pies. In my humble opinion Morrisons “baked in store” shortcrust pastry mince pies are the best 😋 - £1.75 for 4. Pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds and serve with a dollop of clotted cream. Yummy…
Cooking a chicken curry tonight - Antony Worrall Thomson recipe - super yummy and simple to make..
-
Ooowwww that's EXACTLY what I'm having tomorrow,hope the gf ones are nice :-\
-
Roast beef with veg., my birthday is on its way :-X 8). Stuffed already and we haven't eaten yet ;)
-
Wonder how you'll feel to hit 40 clkd ::)
-
:na: and in answer to Songbird - you can't borrow him ;D
-
Our usual Friday night burgers and fries, dh cooks as while I finish up at work. I come home to dinner and I crack open a beer. ;D
-
The beer is for DH?
Stuffed now. Can't get at the ice cream because neighbours' cat is fast asleep on top ;D
-
No the beer was for me! He can get his own ;)
-
;D ;D Quite right too C.C
-
:drunk:
-
Pork fillet with apricots, spring onions and herby cream sauce - no sage though ;D - Nick Nairn recipe this time - what am I like?! :rofl:
-
Hahaha I just saw the Nairn recipe and thought,gee,didn't know Nairn was famous for any cuisine ;D
Take away night for us,then only 3 more cooking of dinners for me,not going to mention the "C" word clkd,don't worry ;D
-
Finishing off the roast beef etc. from last nights, the Chef will probably cook some peas to go with it. In time for Strictly to begin, or else :D
-
Reading an article in the Sat Telegraph yesterday: it is suggested that we eat at least 30 different veg during a week. DH and I tried to name 30 :o. with difficulty.
-
Back to cooking for me now ??? just pasta for OH and a veggie burger for me,got to ease into it gently lol
-
;D ......... :whist:
Regularly we eat: potatoes; mashed, boiled, chipped
Yam; usually mashed
Frozen peas (with fish fingers and mash)
Occasionally tinned peas
Rarely sprouts though we enjoy those
Stir fried: frozen peas; mixed colour sweet peppers; tinned sweet corn; leeks; white cabbage
CH roasts:
Parsnips
Red beet
Squash
Potatoes
With various spices, ginger and garlic
-
Yeah yeah clkd ;D
-
Chicken breast with oven roasted butternut squash, red onion, carrot, pepper, potato (all coated in garlicky olive oil - yum)……
Finished my carton of beetroot juice (geez I hope my blood pressure has dropped significantly because it was :sick02: ;D)
-
U finished it :o. Back to beetroot sandwiches?
-
Do you think pickled beetroot would have the same positive effect on BP? Because I loooove that. I could eat it out of the jar ;D
-
I do ;D ......... DH buys fresh beetroot in a bunch for roasting. We have grown our own along with parsnips. Beetroot sandwiches :-) certainly won't hurt!
-
I love beetroot & hummus sarnies & it's pickled onions I could eat a jar of :D
-
What's hummus when it's up and dressed: isn't that the kind of vehicle that David Beckham drives :-\
DH stir fried last night, repeated the process with left overs earlier so now we are stuffed. 1 Black Magic chocolate each - being full U understand ;D
-
A new recipe tonight - chicken thighs with chestnut mushrooms, sweet wine and garlic.
Hubby has just made a yummy raspberry and white chocolate cheesecake for pud - 😋
-
Making a Thai chicken curry tonight. Hubby has made a lovely baileys and white chocolate cheesecake. We do like our cheesecake ;D……it is low calorie because he used Philadelphia light :rofl:
-
Haven't had Philly cheese for years ::)
Roast pheasant and a lump of pork, into the oven together with lots of mixed veg.. Enough cold as we have a busy few days ahead.
-
Have you cooked pheasant before CLKD? I threw one out last week - I bought it on impulse but chickened out as was convinced one of us would lose a tooth if we bit down on a bit of “shot” ;D ;D
-
Veggie risotto for me and OH is having chicken & bacon pasta in a creamy sauce
-
What a waste of food! >:( :'(. Pheasant is a stand by in my family since the 1940s. I would follow my Dad when he went pigeon shooting ..... and learnt my biology as Mum drew game. Buttered well, wrapped in foil, slow cook with basting regularly. Open the foil for the last 10 mins to crips.
Or: put it into a slow cooker with lots of veg. Any shot will fall out and no, U won't break a tooth! U may pass shot ........... very little fat, all protein. DH has put that and the pork into the oven 8) :-*
If it was a fresh bird then slice into sections and lightly fry ...... 1 can see any shot then.
-
Oh crikey. I better go and dig the pheasant out of my food bin ;D ;D
Ooh, I love risotto of any kind, Jaypo :)
-
Yeah just cover it in garlic songbird,you'll never notice the foosty smell ;D
-
Why not look on the web for recipes ;D. I can smell ours cooking, DH is basting right now 8)
Meat and fish can always be prepared to make sure that you don't get bones/shot. Ask away ......... Veg in.
-
Making a Thai chicken curry tonight. Hubby has made a lovely baileys and white chocolate cheesecake. We do like our cheesecake ;D……it is low calorie because he used Philadelphia light :rofl:
I'm getting on a plane and flying over for a piece of that cheesecake....you had me at Bailey's ;D
-
Yeah just cover it in garlic songbird,you'll never notice the foosty smell ;D
I think you’re right, Jaypo. What’s the worst that can happen ;D :sick02:

What I can tell you, CC, is that 2 measures of baileys is required. Hubby put 1 measure in and it was a bit tame. Hey ho. He’ll know for the next time ;D
-
How about 1 shot of Baileys in the cheesecake, another in a glass beside the dish?
-
Now that’s an idea, CLKD 🤔
-
Chinese take away tonight,no cooking 🥳🥳
-
Ooh, love a good Chinese carryout 👍...
It's lamb tagine and fruity cous cous for us tonight 🐑
-
Homemade spag bol (WW recipe\)
-
Beef stew and dumplings. ( or dough balls, whatever you call them) ;D
-
;D ;D.....Either way, that's a yummy plate of food Jilly..
-
Yeah, I’m starving, just thickened it up, can’t wait. 😋
-
Cold pheasant with stir fried veg. :P
-
Veggie gf lasagne
-
Chicken stir fry with noodles (safe bet for me!) - had the woman from “cruelty to pheasants” at my door today. Geez, word travels fast :rofl:
-
:D
-
Sorry songbird, I felt I HAD to report you ;D
-
No it was me. ;D
-
:rofl:
I've to do a "game bird awareness" course ;D ;D
-
Is that a bird that's game ........ or a game bird ........... our cold pheasant with mixed stir fry was lovely, stuffed now :-X
-
;D ;D
-
:D
-
How about 1 shot of Baileys in the cheesecake, another in a glass beside the dish?
Only 1?? My shots must be bigger then! *cough...half a cup...cough cough*
-
:drunklaf: Quite right C.C.
I don't like the various flavours you get with Baileys like "apple pie" and "strawberries and cream" - :sick02: ..Just keep it simple - Baileys over ice 😋
-
I know someone who's a game bird ;D
-
"pops head above the heather" ;D
Too early to decide on breakfast, leave alone our evening meal ::)
-
:drunklaf: Quite right C.C.
I don't like the various flavours you get with Baileys like "apple pie" and "strawberries and cream" - :sick02: ..Just keep it simple - Baileys over ice 😋
I know what you mean. I like Bailey's over ice cream, straight up, over ice like you, and I love to bake with it.
I've had the Pumpkin Spice version and it was gross, the salted caramel wasn't too bad. I wouldn't mind trying the Espresso, after all I put Bailey's in my coffee anyway. I don't think we have the apple pie one here..sounds a bit odd. We have a "light" version, but what's the point? ;D
I took a pork loin out to defrost for dinner, not sure what dh will do with it. :-\
-
DH cooked pheasant and a pork joint on Friday to last us over the weekend. Eaten cold with hot stir fried veg., full up now :-X
-
Cooked my own chips, ( something I never do) sausages and egg with beans.
I had quiche.
-
Ooowwwww yummy home cooked chips,not done that in ages,you've put that in my head now Jill 🤤
-
Yuuummmy……..love homemade chips.
What about a full English (or Scottish) breakfast…There is, literally, nothing that I dislike on a big brekkie ;D
-
Ha, apart from eggs, I love eggs, but they don’t love me back. 💨💨💨🤭😷
-
:rofl:
-
🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
-
Pork dinner for myself and son. With lashings apple sauce,
Lamb leg steaks for OH with mint sauce.
No pudding, I forgot to get one. 🤷🏼♀️
-
Squirrel pie anyone? ;D
No not really, I’m not cooking a squirrel. 🤢
BUT, apparently on the radio today, they’re saying squirrel dishes will be the norm. Grey squirrels in particular, as red ones are protected.
Would you eat a squirrel? :stupid:
-
Yep. Surrounded by roasted veg. Pelt will make slippers!
Invaders, killing our reds :'(
That pheasant did us 2 x 3 meals and the fresh chicken 2 x 4 and there's carcase for soup 8)
Tonight - have no idea ::)
-
I would defo try Cyril the Squirrel 🐿….Cyril al’orange- yum 😋. Bet it’s just like chicken ;D…..
Mind you, I’d lop off the bushy tail and use it as a duster ;D
It’s a boring baked potato with tuna and salad tonight - I’ve got half a stone to lose (cruising in 11 days - aye, right!) :rofl:
-
Bushy squirrel tail = trout/salmon flies :whist:
-
🤢🤢🤢🤢 what next? Rats? 🤮
-
Nope. Unless stuck in a ghetto somewhere :'(. We eat roadkill other than badger, which is supposedly very strongly flavoured. A bit like pig meat apparently.
I'm on cheese and biscuits later ;-)
-
People eat road kill all the time, I’ve seen it on tele. 🤢
-
;D. what on Earth do *you* watch :o :bunny:
-
Yes I've seen that too Jill,they pick it all up and freeze it,spend very little on meat from the supermarkets etc 🤢 I'll stick to being veggie ta muchly ;D
-
Cheesy mashed potatoes, sausages and beans.
-
Home-made cottage pie, was nice. 🎺
-
Steamed samphire, mince/veg mix poured over freshly boiled rice
-
Courgette & mushroom risotto
-
DH my Chef tha knows: cooked 2 fish fingers, mash and broccoli for me: he had two trout fish cakes and baked beans.
1 stick of 'twirl' each ;)
-
Well after my Black Forest Gateaux crepe at lunch time 8) 1 would think that I wouldn't require anything else today :D - however. A small slice of fish from last night; fried along with chips that were left last night, really crispy. With small tomatoes and freshly podded peas :-*
-
Just had a baked spud with cheesy beans,can't be bothered cooking in this heat OR cooking in this static,it's like a flippin oven 🥵
-
Surely that's cooking jaypo though what would I know :whist:
DH has smoked some trout ; with small tomatoes, peas in the pods and some mushrooms.
-
Get outtttaaaa here clkd ;D
-
:lol:
-
Good old fish and chips for us tonight. Just fancied it ::)
Having my brother and sis in law over for dinner tomorrow so doing my World famous makhani chicken 🐔 ;D
-
Is that a tango or walzt ;D
Fish and chips was Thursday evening with left over fish/chips deep fried last night with added tomotoes and peas in pods on the side
No idea about later: 2morrow is chicken with roasted veggies 🥕 🥦 🌽 🥗 🥔 🌶️ 🍠 - enough for Sunday . 8)
-
Yep it's a dance that I made up, CLKD. I pop on a chicken costume and strut across the dining room clucking and laying a pretend egg
Oh geez, I've lost the plot again! :rofl:
-
I thought you said mankini ;D ;D
Off to Inveraray for dinner tonight,no more cooking for me this weekend 🤨
-
;D….It’s butter chicken in the local Indian takeaway, Jaypo - “makhani” chicken at a Michelin starred joint though :rofl:
Ooh, I love Inveraray. Visited the jail (they let me out too - imagine that :o) and Castle - fab ::)
Enjoy!
-
We nipped into the supermarket 'cos I suddenly turned hungry: chilly/garlic stuffed green olives ??? - not sure on those; small red peppers stuffed with cream cheese; a slice of cooked beef with an olive roll. Stuffed now.
-
Friday night is usually burger and fries night but I got tired of it. Dh will cook fish so it's a fish and chips night. :)
-
Great C.C. I 'go off' foods suddenly, items that I've eaten for months ::). Suddenly I can no longer face it.
-
Gazpacho (my Spanish friend's family recipe) topped with serrano and with seeded bread and extra extra olive oil on the side
-
CapriCapri - ?? photos ?? ...........
-
@CLKD
Haha! It didn't last long enough...........next time.
-

-
Haha,yep,we sure do,my quiche has that viv era bacon pieces in it,which, I have to say,my OH really likes,says they taste like real bacon 🤷♀️
-
When we had the grandchildren when they were little we fed them veggie dinners. All went well, they loved them didn't know they weren't eating meat. Then their dad said but that's made of vegetables.... Forks down and they said they didn't like it!!
20 years on. One eats anything, one is vegetarian and the other vegan😁 haha.

Homemade rocket soul with a cheese toastie. Saturday is a quick dinner day. 😁
-
I've got heartburn >:( due to those ABs. So rice pudding prior to the next couple of tablets ::)
-
I could eat rice pudding to a band playing ;D
Yum 😋
-
My mum made the best rice pudding, I LOVED the skin ;D
-
Oh me too, Jaypo. And I loved sultanas through it 😋..
I worked in a care home 40 years ago (I was just a girl don't you know ;D) and, when cook made a huge pot of rice pudding for the residents, you would find me lurking around the kitchen for much of my shift :rofl:
-
;D
When the Pyrex dish was emptied I loved scraping the cooked on sugar that had stuck round the edge .......still got all my own teeth too ;D
-
Still in your mouth or do you keep them in a jar? ;D ;D
couldn't resist... Especially as my dentist is nagging me for a check up....
-
Don't talk to me about dentists :-X :-\
No idea yet. Heartburn in the back ground >:(
-
Still in your mouth or do you keep them in a jar? ;D ;D
couldn't resist... Especially as my dentist is nagging me for a check up....
Naughty girl ;D
-
Heartburn - managed fried toms on toast ..... followed by Milk of Magnesia >:(
-
Heartburn - managed fried toms on toast ..... followed by Milk of Magnesia >:(
Tomatoes are one of the common heartburn triggers so you probably didn't help yourself there. :-\ Hope it's gone this morning.
Taz x
-
Probably right Taz. It's also rebound from stopping the Omperazolol and I have a cough nearly all day >:( - which fortunately goes in the night.
Early to decide about this evening :D
-
Oh totally agree,stay off anything tomatoey,I've had to cut out all foods with a tomato sauce,pasta dishes etc
:(
-
I had Marmite for supper too ........... it's the lack of omeprazole, heartburn is background now >:(.
-
Pork tagine with garlic flatbread followed by homemade salted caramel cheesecake - yummy 😋…
Tell you what, I couldn’t get Irish soda bread at my local supermarket the other day so hubby made some. Absolutely delish - will never buy it again!
My favourite cocktail is now pornstar martini :o so hubby bought all the stuff to have a go at making one tonight (in readiness for Christmas). Lovely jubbly 🍸
-
Oh how lovely songbird,I've been making cosmopolitans lately,really lovely,vodka,Cointreau,lime juice & cranberry juice,just getting into the swing of it for the cruise 😂
-
Oh, that’s another favourite of mine too, Jaypo - so nice. I hope the barman on the Cunard Ship makes a cosmo like Tom Cruise (and looks like him too) ;D
-
2 fish fingers with mashed yam
DH will delve into his freezer for some soup - he saves bones, ends of veg etc. in the freezer which he makes into thick broths.
-
toast, marmite and a cuppa for breakfast
??? lunch ???
pheasant with : sprouts, roasties, Yorkshire puds, yam ........ bacon over the bird and a couple of sausages
then there's the thought about that pud: dated 2019? or earlier :-X :-\
-
Hubby and I have been prep'ing/cooking all morning ::). Only 5 of us but there's still a lot to do ;D. Having a well deserved cup of tea and mince pie 🥧.
Smoked salmon and cream cheese canapes with champagne, brie, cranberry and pistachio tart, turkey with all the trimmings and lemon meringue pie. Christmas cake, Iced gingerbread and cheeseboard for later. :o
Now, where did I put that gaviscon ;)
-
There's plenty of left overs then 8)
-
I'm cooking NOTHING..........just sayin lol ;D
-
.. and I have a Chef - just saying :rofl:
Who did a Very Good Job, we sit here stuffed now. 3 presents each to open ;-).
-
Oh God. I'm like a poisoned pup :sick02:
Bloody cheeseboard. That can wait until new year :-X :whist:
-
Too early to decide. We may have a walk as it's sunny which will 'leave room' after yesterdays indulgences :D
-
Oh Songbird. None of us ever learn to say ' just a tiny slice for me'... Hope the nausea has lessened and the bloated tummy at peace.
We don't ever have leftovers in our house ( 🐷) so I cooked extra yesterday and we had bubble and squeak tonight, heavy handed on the stuffing.
-
Oh I know Sarah :o...It's the amount of chocolates we get at Christmas too. But I can't seem to be able to give any away ;D.
Hubby and I have promised to have no biscuits, cakes or chocolates in the house after 2nd January. Better get a move on and eat 'em all 🤣
Going on a week's cruise in the middle of Feb so I'll have about 6 weeks to get rid of my muffin top 😂
-
We had a long walk followed by late lunch/early supper on our return; left overs from yesterday
2 pieces of Millionaires short bread mid afternoon. Now having supper - I've got muesli with pumpkin seeds and blue berries, Himself has soft cheese, figs and home made bread
-
Oh,good bread is one of lifes pleasures. And I managed a short walk too, so that bowl of Christmas Pud was justified. ;D
Jeez Songbird, six weeks to detox and lose that muffin top? You are a better woman than me :-*
-
Buy some kaftan cloaks, no one will notice any 'extra' ;-). Walking round the decks will get rid of the rest ........
-
On second thoughts, the kaftan sounds like a better idea! ;D
And, anyway, OH says he likes my wobbly bits
:rofl:
It was leftover turkey with gravy and mash tonight (and a teeny weeny bit lemon meringue pie) ;)
-
I'll miss the turkey with mash but <hands over plate> for lemon meringue .......... ;)
-
On second thoughts, the kaftan sounds like a better idea! ;D

Oh songbird the amount of kaftan stylee outfits onboard already are a dead giveaway that women are feeling somewhat fragile about their midriff,no no not me,I'm still a size 6 .........😂🤣
-
Oh same size as me Jaypo. Except in my case it's only my shoe size..... ::)
-
DH's brother has bought an air fryer - so now we apparently need 1 ::). I've thought about it for a few months without making mention ........ do any of U find them useful? Currently we have a usual oven with 4 shelves, separate grill, bread maker, pizza pan ............
-
Watching Michael Mosley checking what we put in our supermarket trollies:
We both eat:
weekly; spuds, yam, leeks, peppers, grapes, bananas, garlic
occasionally; broccoli, cauliflower
Himself eats every week: pears, apples, dried figs, fish, onion. Occasionally fresh pineapple.
Cheese
Eggs once a week usually scrambled
He begins each day with porridge with dried fruits
I have a muesli - both use milk
I eat: fish fingers once a week with mashed yam/butter
Marmiet on white toast occasionally
Pizza occasionally
Pate and ham for lunch with a brown bread roll occasionally
I suppose we could add cabbage, carrots and kiwis. We don't fancy kale :-\ ::)
We both eat chutneys
-
I had a mushroom & courgette risotto last night but every week day I make salads and make my own dressings with very posh olive oil ;D
-
Morning: I can't be bothered with salads - rabbit grub ;D
-
Ooh I love a salad 🥗- it's the cheeseburger that goes along with it that's the problem ;D
Chicken with pasta for me tonight - trying to shift a few pounds b4 my week's holiday in 4 weeks time :o. Geez, no chance - where's that kaftan I bought for emergencies ;D
-
Oh but it's nice salads I make,with strawberries,avocados,feta cheese,chick peas,pears,melon,red onions,potatoes,you name it,it goes in there,deeeeelish!!
-
Oh - how do U serve chickpeas, from a can drained or do you steep overnight then cook gently? DH makes good looking salads ........ and I love oil drizzled over.
What colour is the kaftan, remind me ;D
-
Why, tartan of course CLKD (with a Union Jack 🇬🇧 at the back). Did I ever say that I intensely dislike the “Nasty party”? I digress - sorry ;D
-
We likes a meander we does :lol: R U entitled to wear a tartan ? I did the Highland Fling over swords many years ago, there were 4 of us and I can't remember the others :-\. Oh that kilt was scratchy :(. DH's Gt Uncle was in a Scots regiment and they wore the kilts, using them as blankets in the night. It's the sodden hem lines that caused problems on the legs :o :-\
Don't know what's on the menu for later, DH is experimenting with the dry air fryer cooker thingy ......... successfully thus far.
-
Yep. I have me own tartan CLKD ;)
My paternal grandmother and aunt were both kiltmakers and, between them, made the kilts for the National rugby team (for their trips abroad). That was their claim to fame ;D
I quite fancy one of those air fryers actually 🤔
-
Back to the wok this evening with stir-fried chicken bits on a bed of mixed veg..
-
Stir fry for me,risotto for OH,both wearing our kilts and having a wee tune on the bagpipes later ;D ;D
-
I've had a turkey sandwich. :-\
Had too much fruit and yogurt lunch time and my stomach was soooo painful. :'(
Found out the buscopan so now it's easing.
Think I need to knock the fruit on the head. ::)
-
MayB jillydoll make a list of what you eat/drink for 3 days.
I've had to cut out all shop produced cakes. The added sugars and fats slow down my digestion. N Ys Eve was dire :'(, no pain fortunately but lots of trapped wind = nausea++. For 3 hours :'(
I cut out yoghurt and olives as they were 'sticking' in the digestive process. Fruit makes me windy, I had an unripe pear as part of my lunch and have had wind since. :o :(
So my Chef's attempts at stir fried chicken wasn't really appreciated from this side of the table :'(
-
Yeah CLKD, it was the fruit I'd eaten for two days. No more for me. :-\
Cooking tonight,
Minted lamb chops with roasted carrots & broccoli, & mashed potatoes for myself and son.
Cottage pie with carrots and peas for OH.
-
Yum. I'm coming to yours Jill. Cottage pie or lamb chops. I love both 😋..
It's boring old roast chicken, baked potato and green salad tonight. :(
-
Boring still where there ain't any Songbird ;-)
DH did sausages and fish fingers in the air fryer thingy, with chips on the other side. Yummy.
-
Your very welcome Songbird.
Will you do the washing up afterwards? ;D
-
I love washing up ;D
-
Your very welcome Songbird.
Will you do the washing up afterwards? ;D
Absolutely Jill. Now where's me rubber gloves? ;D
-
A few weeks ago DH invested in an air fryer thingy and is experimenting with various veg, chips and meats. We have a good butcher locally, yesterday we bought a lot of different joints, sausages etc.. This afternoon he put a joint of pork in, within 20 mins the crackling was beginning to bubble 8). The meat is sweet, tender and the crackling: well everyone got a piece when I bit into mine ;D. 1.25 mins and the joint was ready to eat with chips in the other compartment. It does Yorkshires in 6 mins :-*
-
Going for a wee night out tonight. Hubby and I going with my brother and sil - lovely cocktails and Indian tapas 😋. Better take an Omeprazole ;D
-
Is this you preparing for your cruise songbird? ;D
-
Yep Jaypo. I'm a wee bit partial to a pornstar martini and tikka masala ;D..Bang goes my diet :o
-
Tonight I was looking forward to my bubble & squeek. With lashing of cheese. 😋
It was........Horrible! ;D. ::)
-
OH! too much smelly cabbage ........ 🥬? We went out for light lunch so really haven't been hungry so it was two rounds of white bread, toasted smothered with pork dripping and a mashed spud cake on the side. Stuffed now. Oh and that stick of twirl. For pudding you understand ........
-
Oh lordy lord!
I'd forgotten about toast with dripping on it, with loads of salt n pepper. ;D. 😋😋😋
We all had that when we were kids.
Yummy! :yes:
-
It was - there's half a pot in the fridge to share with Himself on hot toast later. As 4 tonight ....... 2 soon to think about it.
-
Simon and Dave are watching how a haggis is made and there's me thinking that they have to be hunted down ;D. It was straight out of the boiler and cut whilst hot :-X
We had baked spuds with crispy bacon again from the dry air fryer thingy. Stuffed now.
-

No you're right enough, CLKD, the Hairy Bikers were being shown the alternative "processed" method.
There's nothing quite like hunting down the
"Haggis Herbivorous Altus Alimentum" in the Scottish Highlands yourself. A bow and arrow works best. Much tastier ;D
It was nice to see Dave. He was quite emotional.
-
I made a new invention spagless bolognaise- bolognaise sauce on mixed leaves with grated cheese on top :P
Should’ve had carbs though. Now starving in middle of night. Will go down for bowl of special k ;D
-
Spag-less! Love that!! ;D ;D
-
Thanks Autumn ! ;D
-
Now that bolognaise base can be used in many ways. A thick pancake then layers of ready cooked mince mix, a layer of cheddar cheese topped wit a thinner pancake. Build up until all the sauce or pancakes are used. Into the oven for 10 mins to melt the cheese ......... messy ;D
SpecialK? Better to have had a banana ;-)
Last night DH highly fried pigeon breasts cooked with boiled spuds [mashed] and broccoli. We've found that we both have cramp as the air dryer doesn't have salt added to the veg.. So back to the saucepan last night.
-
No CLKD I love my special k with red berries it’s the best ;D
I like your pancake bolognaise recipe. I like bolognaise on rice or a jacket spud too!
-
Oven chips, quiche and peas for me tonight.
I'm starving. 😋
-
That bolognaise recipe can be messy ;D not to be eaten in polite company :-X :D
Tonight: It's steak in the air fryer, yam chips and cauliflower on the top.
-
Not cooking.
Going out for a curry. 😋
-
I'm not! Saturday is takeaway and movie night.
-
Good for you Autumnwalks. .....ENJOY. 😋
We've still a movie to pick. 🤷♀️
-
Jillydoll that's always the hard part! ;D
-
Last night DH cooked two brace of partridge in the air fryer along with yam chips and broccoli on the side. Tonight it was spud chips, broccoli and cold partridge.
-
I've never eaten a partridge or a yam.
-
Yam = sweet potatoes - long, reddish coloured veg. Makes a change from spuds.
