Mint Viennetta

good call. i ate me tea but i sweated a lot in my kitchen

You could have the tomato soup cold, gazpacho style, then you wouldn't get warmed up.

Better still, put the tin in the fridge for an hour beforehand. Then you could save on the sorbet.

I tried a cold soup once and didn't like it. It didn't make me too hot so it was a good choice of tea. Added some dried seaweed flakes in for added health.

I'm now curious about tomato sorbet

Tomato sorbet

A surprising palate cleanser than refreshes without being overly sweet.

Caramelised ancho lamb kebab tacos with dill yoghurt.
It should look like this, but probably will look like a dog's breakfast with my presentations:

Dunt matter though, as it's sure to taste good

I think you should not follow the photo exactly - for sure it looks pretty but in terms of flavours a little bit of dill goes a long way and there is a lot of dill involved in that photo! I'd just put some in the dip and not use any in the wraps themselves - the dill will come from the dip/sauce, no more is needed.

Totally disagree. There can never be too much dill.

 

[Looby]

We’re sticking to stuff that doesn’t need to be cooked all day today. Bread, cheese and a nod to salad tonight I expect.

 

[Orang Utan]

Totally disagree. There can never be too much dill.

innit, i sometimes make an Iranian dish called ghormeh sabzi that stews lamb with preserved lemon and bunches and bunches of dill, and it’s delicious

 

[Epona]

Horses for courses and all that - I find it a bit too much if there is a lot in a dish. I like it well enough but up to a point!

 

[gentlegreen]

I couldn't face making a new batch of stew, so it was the leftover broth, a can of chickpeas and a head of broccoli - plus tahini, pickled veggies and Dijon mustard ...

Fuck knows. Ice?

Orang Utan lamb kebab tacos sounds like an escaped Profanisaurus entry

especially if i drop them on a barber’s floor

Orang Utan I hope you will take a pic, so we can see what yours looks like, in comparison.

(I had to write "in comparison" there because without it, that sounded very Viz-esque )

[BoatieBird]

Roast chicken breasts, wedges and roasted veggies.
I can bung it all in the oven for 30 minutes and sit outside in the shade whilst it cooks.
To be eaten outside, obviously

Toast with camembert, beluga lentil salad with sundried tomatoes and olives, red cabbage and apple salad with walnuts and raisins. I thought the cabbage salad would be easy to make in the food processor but it wasn't and there was quite a lot of mild peril involved. Mostly because of having to get into the cabbage in the first place.

What interesting salads can be made with minimal peeling and chopping? If I lived near an M&S I'd probably just get loads of those little salad boxes. But I don't.

 

[RubyToogood]

PS I have cracked and gone back to mindful chef for some frozen meals. Let's hope they are a bit better than allplants. I still have two of those left but can't face them.

Ocado might have been good for M&S ready meals etc but there's like a 5-day wait for a slot.

Those bags of mixed salad leaves seem like a good idea at a time like this - add cherry tomatoes and olives which wouldn't need chopping. Radishes can also be added whole.

 

[Elpenor]

Nothing. Lost appetite due to heat.

 

[Aladdin]

Fried eggs and chips.
A lot of ice cream.

Holiday fare.

Sticky chilli tofu with jasmine rice and stir fried veg. Nearly died making it in our tiny kitchen in the heat.
Ice cream. Phew.

 

[sheothebudworths]

Sun - home made pizzas and salad
Mon - Singapore fried rice with loads of veggies and soy Fry's strips/char sui stir fried pork
Today - leek and potato soup/leek, potato, mushroom and chicken soup with grated cheese. Not exactly soup weather but I made it all on Sun so other than fishing out the chicken thigh to strip and chop, it's zero effort, which feels like the most important thing right now!
Pineapple and peanut M&M's for pudding.

 

[Elpenor]

Yesterday - was very hot so had just a spoonful of sauerkraut and 2 yoghurts

 

[BoatieBird]

Chilli salmon with curried lentils

 

[Elpenor]

Tonight I’ve cooked venison steak with peppercorn sauce, peas, sauerkraut

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Gouda sandwiches with chilli pesto.

 

[Ron Merlin]

Knocked up this Goan chicken curry earlier to improve in the pot overnight, but tonight it's fried halloumi with an avocado, tomato, cucumber and red onion salad and a chunk of seedy baguette (got the last one, hooray).
