Chilli. And rice. Same as yesterday. And the day before. And tomorrow. And the day after. Big cauldrons of slop that last all week FTW.
 
I am perfecting caramelised nectarine sauce with choc ices.

Fry sliced nectarines with cinnamon in a little butter. Add a glass of red wine and a teaspoon of sugar. Finely chopped lemon zest with a little juice. Simmer for 20 minutes. Poor over choc ices and serve with squirty cream.

That actually sounds rather nice.
 
BBQ. :cool: A feast of meats, pickles, jalapenos and mustard. Slightly posh for BBQ this but I've got some roasted veg to do that'll go nicely with it. Bit of potato salad too.
 
Sherry braised garlic chicken with roast potatoes & broccoli. Mrs r has just got home to say she's off out to a jungle do to get spangled so I shall be putting the tiddler to bed then trying to eat all of it before her appetite returns :)
 
Went to a new place for tea. Had stir-fried celery, lettuce salad in a bitter lemon dressing, and 'fried skin' with bay leaves and chillies and onions. :cool:
 
Yu_Gi_Oh did you miss the food when back in the UK? You're tea now is one that didn't make me shudder but I still think I would be reaching for a packet of crisps but then thought they probably don't do salt & vinegar!

ETA: So far I have not enjoyed much Chinese food and have only been able to jump in without worry with Indian veggie food. Faced with veggie Med/Middle East food I still wobble at the sound/look of it!
 
For tea tonight, I have a goodly handful of FRESH GARDEN DUG ASPARAGUS from a chap at work - steamed

2 fresh, home laid eggs from a lady at work - poached

4 Jersey Royal New Potatoes - hopefully boiled to perfection

With butter and the remainder of a bottle of vintage Cava and when that's gone, some Sheppy's 2012 Oak vat matured cider

THREAD CLOSED!!
 
'fried skin'
:D

This thread just isn't the same when you're in Britain. :D

I'm having Chinese tonight funnily enough, although mine will be a bit more predictable than fried skin, lungs, deep fried bone marrow and all the other shit I saw on menus when I was over there. I'm thinking green peppers / black bean sauce / something spicy / noodles.
 
i'm celebrating several things tonight so am going out for dinner :cool: Dessert will be at home though. My students have given me luxury chocolates and a massive chocolate cake. :cool:
 
We had baked spuds with beans, cheese and salad, followed by peach upside down cake and custard. I am rounding things off with wine.
 
We had fish, chips and mushy peas from the fish shop. I was actually the only who had fish as the others are vegetarians. Cue the 3 year old, "Where's its eyes? Where's its fins? Why doesn't it have bubbles round it like on the bag?":D

Hmmm!

It must be said that the asparagus was a, tad! over steamed, and given that, it was still freekin' AWESOME - and the poached eggs didn't exactly turn out how I'd hoped - so I see the purchase of an egg poacher looming on the horizon VERY SOON INDEED

And the potatoes could have done with, probably about another 5 minutes to be the right side of "al dente" - but nearly very nice indeed

That's the problem for me, with new pots, they are, without doubt my favourite veg. Boiled, with butter, absolutely belting - but boiling them to perfection really is, to me at least, a black art
