Cooking Tonight (continued)

[greenishfing]

My stepdaughter is visiting from sunnier climes and she fancies fish and chips so a visit to a local fish restaurant today.

Slow roasted beef rib with Yorkshire pudding, veg & gravy.

I'm having beans on toast tonight, because that's what I fancy.

Bap??!! I thought it was a cob in Notts?......it's a roll in Wales

We call them cobs as well but usually on the vine when I've baked I call them rolls to stop confusion.

Generally known in these parts as bread buns or stotties.

A Cob is a horse, a roll has a sausage in it and baps, well, I'd rather not go into that

[Can the Man]

Known as bread buns or burger bun in Ireland except in Waterford where they have a very soft white floury bun known as a Blah

[Can the Man]

Chicken do piazza with 1/2 and 1/2 with onion rings

Same here Bren (most of the time). Burgers are usually served in buns or baps but cheese, ham, sausages etc are served in cobs

Last night we made veggie curry.

Tortellini minestrone soup tonight with a couple of slices of sourdough.

Cobs are round and rolls are long, they're just the right size for sausages

So, yesterday we went out for lunch and it struck me that the traditional Spanish way of eating is quite healthy if you stick to it. Veg for your starters (I had a great heap of green beans with a tiny amount of fried jam�n serrano sprinkled on top), protein for your mains (in this case, cod with all of four chips, which is about par for the course; it's advertised on the menu if your main comes with 'garnish') and then a pud (fruit if you're sensible and not a creme caramel if you're me). The carbs come in the form of bread. Going to give this a try from time to time as a way to cut down.

Lunch today (very late, so no supper required I think): Shredded Brussels sprouts with a bit of ham on top to start, then calf's liver in onions and sherry, then mandarins. That's our five-a-day in one fell swoop (rather a lot of sprouts...).

Better make some bread too.

[greenishfing]

Just making the bottom layer for a cottage pie (minced beef, finely chopped onion, pepper, celery, mushroom, carrot, parsnip and herbs. I'll top it with potato and Swede mash and a few halves of oven roast tomato (mine out of the freezer) and grated cheese.

Oops - pub again

Leeks, kale, garlic, sun dried toms and mixed nuts (cooked together in one pan) on top of spaghetti with grated cheddar and fried eggs.

[Aberdeenplotter]

Coquilles St Jacques starter, Chicken Kiev, Rosemary potatoes and tenderstem broccoli. Yups, Markies valentines meal deal. Strawberries bought for pudd but unlikely to be eaten tonight.
