Giant in Pastyland now
Fuck all I imagine, unless I fancy waiting for food to cook in the microwave. Have a huge amount of food frozen in meal portions, like 70 odd I think now, Italian, few Indian chickpea variations, few Bangladeshi, chili, veg chili, various mexican dishes but it just seems a disappointment. Have a dozen eggs that need using tho so mayve that but a bit fed up not being able to use non stick cos of the parrots and whatever I do my cast iron is not super slidey and just sticks with eggs.
Maybe fry up a pile of bacon and then do a spanish omelette with some added and whatever veg, someone ruined the seasoning on it and i have repeatedly tried to fix it but it doesn't seem to help enough to make a difference. Fancy doing something bread based but I simply cannot be arsed to make the effort to do a thick split piadina with cheese and chives. Was always a morning food and now I have to be at kids paintball in the morning, no thanks to that before 9 on a sat.

Veggie haggis, dauphinoise potatoes, neeps and Brussels sprouts. Don't think I've ever made those potatoes with haggis before - such a winning combination.

Don't normally cook with cream, but thought I'd try a pork tenderloin thing with a mustard cream sauce. Except I've just realised I've got single not double. I can just thicken it with potato starch right?
Also what do people do with the rest of the cream when they buy it for cooking? Freeze it?

In coffee, hot chocolate, over some warm mince pies, make a nice pasta dish involving cream for tea the next day (alfredo, mushrooms and cream, chicken tarragon & cream, green pesto & cream, prawn linguine etc.)
Single cream should work OK in a sauce, where fat content makes a massive difference is if you're whipping it and expecting it to fluff up. And yeah if you need to thicken then I'd tend to go for some of the starchy water you've cooked spuds or pasta in first, if not then a cornflour slurry or whatever you usually use. Couple of grates of parmesan is also a favoured method of mine to thicken a cream based sauce, depends what you're having it with whether that will work in terms of flavours of course - that tends to work well for pasta dishes involving mushrooms or spinach etc. which you would tend to have a bit of parmesan on top of anyway.

Not sure yet. I fancy something involving cheesy leeks, but can't work out what actual meal to incorporate them into.

Jacket potato with cheesy leeks?
We're having paprika and garlic pork tenderloin, roast potatoes (done in the same tin) and steamed veg.

The secret ingredient is a beef stock cube. This had an extra secret ingredient though because I had no flour. Also no cornflour so substituted custard powder!
Everyone looked at me askance but it turned out fine. Dad said it was delicious but I'll surely be burned as a witch!
Gravy Baked Chicken (thighs & drumsticks) - 5 min prep!
This is THE Baked Chicken recipe for all those nights when you have 5 minutes for dinner. Crispy baked chicken thighs OR drumsticks, makes its own gravy!

Made what we have decided is the Palestinian equivalent of cauliflower cheese - comfort food involving cauliflower and dairy, at any rate. Labneh rice, roast cauliflower and a drizzle of olive oil with garlic and coriander seed. Not quite as insanely rich as I feared, quite moreish but stopped myself eating it as I think it might be one of those things like fried halloumi where it's tasty so it's easy to overeat it and feel a bit sick.

Ended up making a magnificent leek, squash and kale bake, had with roast potatoes and veg. Right on the health/junk axis
This again, but with the last of the fruitcake and a decaff tea.
