Prepped a gratin of celeriac, sweet potato and squash with rosemary, goats cheese and walnuts in cream. All bubbling away nicely then look at the recipe and its not a 45 minute bake but 1 hour 45. I got up at 4am and needed to get kids to bed so instead we had microwaved jacket potatoes. Still, gratin is now ready for tomorrow to have with veggie sausages, so all works out in the end!

This is extremely vague.
Meanwhile, I have finally been to the Chinese supermarket and spent a fortune so I've had miso soup made with the nice Korean miso, pak choi and 3 kinds of veggie dumplings.

Jacket potatoes with salad. I couldn't face inflicting it on the kids though, so did them egg and chips instead

I am a big fan of smoked paprika sojourner, can't get enough of the stuff!
I'm using this one atm Smoked Paprika - Hot
Tonight we're having burgers in brioche buns, I'll have smoked cheese in mine.
Wedges (with paprika!) to go with them.

Ooo posh! I just use any old one
It's what I use for my spicy chickpea wraps - very liberal dusting of it over the frying chickpeas, nom!

an ting!
Chipsticks are brilliant, I sometimes use them as/for a substitute chip butty.
Wasn't expecting to make it to jiu jitsu, so started cooking various meals for tonight and the next few days, but now I am going so that'll all have to wait till tomorrow. Had a quick first tea of cheese, half a slice of bread and some minestrone soup just now and I've got a frozen fish pie to heat up along with some cabbage and leeks when I get back.

Baked spud with cheese and more of the coleslaw, also some veggie hotdogs from Lidl which were... interesting? Not bad, wouldn't go out of my way for them again I don't think.
Cup of decaff tea and some apple stollen bites. I didn't get any stollen or panettone or anything much in the way of festive treats at Xmas because I had noro before and the shops were out of them afterwards, so I feel a wrong has been righted.

Decent recipe this, but not so photogenic. Takes about an hour to put together but thankfully (considering the author) no obscure ingredients. I had to make up some of the greens with broccoli. Worth a go if you're looking for something veggie. Yotam says the traditional version has tomatoes rather than yoghurt. Would probably do that next time.

The Polish restaurant was delicious, I had sour soup followed by beef roulade and cucumber pickles.
Today we went out for lunch pre-theatre, to a Portuguese place. We had roasted cauliflower with yoghurt and pistachios, a delicious green rice, garlic mushrooms, and chicken, and the most incredible pastel de nata for pudding.
For tea, I'm doing fancy toasties. Calabrian bread, Parma ham, double cream brie, tomatoes and red onion. Mozzarella, tomato and pesto for daughter.

We had the gratin last night and it was very nice, though would have been better eaten without reheating. Carnivore daughter ate the veggie hot dog without noticing
Tonight was another Rukmini Iyer recipe, tandoori salmon roasted with sweet potatoes. Had some paratha in the freezer so a pretty easy and tasty tea.

Cumberland sausages with bacony/oniony/garlicky/chilli-flakey green lentils.
(Previous 2 days I had leftover turkey thigh stewed with bacon, potatoes, sprouts, broccoli etc. still using up leftovers, and yesterday had a burger, because sometimes after cooking a lot for days you just want to go "fuck it")
