Cooking tonight (Mk3)

[Mr Bones]

Last night - chicken jalfrezi with plenty of toms and onions, cucumber raita and poppadoms. (Picked six courgettes but fancied a break so they're still in the fridge).

Salmon En Croute, Potatoes, Peas

Courgette fritters….good call - OH grinned at that idea ( we had a Chinese noodle stir fry last night)

No mushrooms but I have enough tins of chopped tomatoes to sink the Titanic….so a reduced creamy spicy tomato sauce with the medallions and fritters it will be. Corn on the cob for starters and lettuce and cheese for pud.

Team work eh? Thanks!

Good news about the restaurant Snoop - enjoy!

[Snoop Puss]

Pork sliced in medallions, dusted in flour and fried in butter, a bit plain but tasty. Otherwise, flip-flopped in some spice before the flour. If you've got other ingredients, you could slice the pork more thinly and treat it as a stroganoff or do it in a mustard or mushroom sauce.

Courgette fritters, sweet corn and green salad on the side.

As for here: success! Restaurant booking made. Owner warned me it's going to be cold tonight. That's by Spanish standards. I don't think our Dutch friends will think it chilly.

[Bren In Pots]

My first thoughts were a stir fry, or dice the veg and serve the grilled pork on top, failing that maybe a soup.

[Nicos]

I think I need some ideas!
Its a Ready, Steady, Cook moment with 4 main ingredients…..pork fillet, corn on the cob , courgette and lettuce …and nope, I don’t fancy anything cold tonight.

Answers on a postcard please!

This evening we're having Briam with mackerel, a side of french beans and sourdough.

[Snoop Puss]

I'm feeling cooked out. And Mr Snoop is washing-upped out, so to speak. Not used to doing two meals a day.

Lunch: tray bake with sausages, sweet corn, courgettes (of course) and tomatoes. Big pile of fake roast potatoes too.

Supper: with any luck I'll book us in at a restaurant with tables outside. If not, fish baked in the oven with more courgettes and tomatoes. Broccoli and beans.

Bread and a cake plus custards.

[Mr Bones]

One pan dish last night of courgettes, onion, garlic, chopped bacon and tomatoes served with fried potatoes and sweetcorn cobs.

We finally had spicy Thai noodles with pork, followed by the rest of the blueberry pie

shakshuka made with sprouts and probably a\ bit of leftover roast chicken thrown in for good measure

I had to look up shakshuka! It sounds great, as do most things with poached eggs. I will be trying it.

Tonight, as I'd been shopping and stocked up on my husband's favourite food (prawns), was prawn, pea and courgette risotto with Padron peppers. The peas, peppers, courgettes and onions were mine and even the preserved lemons in it I'd actually preserved myself. At this moment I am so full and just hoping that nature's bounty continues (with a little bit of hard work thrown in).

I actually have no idea at the moment.
However we do need to attack the meat freezer as we ordered a whole lamb early autumn….so that can’t be long away…and there is absolutely no chance of fitting one in at the moment!

Maybe I’ll feel inspired during my grory hop….

[Snoop Puss]

Didn't make any sweet things yesterday. More trouble than I could manage. So better get on the case today.

Lunch: saltimboccas with broccoli and green beans, sautéed potatoes. Bakewell pudding for afters.

Supper: pizza.

Corned beef pie with mushy peas.

Same again this evening, the pie just need reheating so a quick evening meal for us.
