I mostly cooked in the garden: chargrilled slices of aubergine, brushed with pesto, and with a tomato sauce; grilled peppers stuffed with spicy couscous and feta; fresh broad beans marinated in lemon and thyme; leafy salad, black olives; griddled sourdough bread.
 
Boil potatoes, chop, put inbetween two tortillas with chopped chorizo and grated cheese, fry on both sides for 30 seconds, eat.
Cheers missfran, we had this for tea yesterday with added onions :)

No tea tonight, because making a big late lunch for a visit from one of the brothers (one of the others cancelled :()... roast curried chicken with rice, was great the other week so fingers crossed for second run.
 
Roast beef and all the trimmin's maybe followed by gooseberry pie.

And I know this Paulie because it's FUCKING SUNDAY!!!!!
 
Today shall be a sort of mushroom, lentil and coriander collaboration, which is already made. I had it with rice last night and it was pretty damn tasty. Today it'll be dished up with some lamb shanks which are currently doing their stuff in the slow cooker.
I've also got strawberries and cream. These are allegedly for pud, but I'll probably have them before, while I'm watching Mr Nadal running around this afternoon.
 
Venison roast with Cumberland sauce, creamed mushrooms and asparagus, pan-fried new potatoes, green salad. Cherry fritters for dessert.
 
Last night I had a griddled lamb steak and a veg stir fry. Not very exciting, probably because I'm beginning to get a bit sick of pak choi now. :D

Only another eight or so to go, then the pressure's off for a bit.

Not having any tonight though!

Found a reduced pack of Sainsburys southern fried chicken breast and curly fries yesterday, so that for me and the boy (he'll think it's a right treat :rolleyes: ) with garden french beans and peas.

My mum brought a massive pot of clotted cream down on Saturday - but no scones :confused: :mad: - and I've not got any strawbs or rasps left either, so might have to buy some scones just to get rid of the cream. :facepalm:
 
We have some chicken legs in the fridge and I think I will do them "a la innit", which means smearing them in lime pickle and roasting them atop a bed of sliced new potatoes.

the phrase "a la innit" might appear to imply that I devised this treatment but in fact I just like it a lot.
 
Had a lush roast at the pub yesterday. Half a roast chicken, two yorkshires, peas, broccoli, cauliflower and 4 roasties, and a boat full of gravy. Button had a foot long piece of fish (cod) and chips and mushy peas. Then we both had rhubarb crumble and custard :cool:

No idea about tonight. Something light.
 
Off the top of my head I fancy curry goat, chana dhal and roti.

But I did a massive farmers market shop yesterday, have tons of meat other than goat in the fridge and only myself in tonight. Reckon it'll be risotto cakes (broad bean) and pork chop, both leftovers really.

May cook some brown stew fish and/or but a green coconut on the way home as some compensation. If I'm feeling energetic enough I may even get a little of the week's cooking out of the way tonight.
 
Lamb chops, new potatoes, broad beans and runner beans. All our own produce :cool:

very :cool:

I'm at work until 6 and I don't know what I'm going to eat when I get home.
Maybe a jacket spud or maybe some new potatoes with peas and broad beans if they're ready to be picked. Maybe with some goats cheese
*meh*
 
Ooh, give us an outline of your congee technique please Masahiko. I do something passable from memory, but I suspect it'd offend the authenticity purists.

I should have some pork stock from tomorrow, so that may fit in nicely.

The recipe I use is very similar to this.
If I can be bothered, I get fresh dough sticks but they're a hassle to find and hardly fresh - even if bought from china town. Chopped fried tofu is similar in texture but it lacks the chewiness associated to authentic dough sticks.

Last night we had pasta alfredo using gigli pasta, which look like little oriental ear-like mushrooms and hold a little sauce and a pea inside perfectly.

Tonight - not sure. Got veg, got time to cook, but can't think of anything. Will have to get the cook books out and see what we fancy.

puds with chicken? :(

i'm jealous of a lot of the cooking i've read on here. i get soooo bored trying to make food the kids will eat (eating together around the table is important to me, so mostly we all have to have the same). tbf 3yo still eats pretty much whatever you put in front of her, but has allergies, the 7yo is pickier. actually, i've mostly given up, i just tell her to pick out the bits she doesn't like. bad mum.

tonight was harissa chicken (with just a little bit of harissa, extra to stir in for me), couscous, chickpeas, raisins, almonds, lemon, parsley, mint. it was okay, a bit dry.
 
New potatoes in mustard dressing, roasted asparagus, and split pea and shallot cumin mash.

Could have eaten it twice, but the extractor fan fell off the wall and sprayed the rest over the walls :eek:
