Making my mouth water now, I need to go to bed.

Why does everyone else's meal sound more appetising than your own?? :-S

Smoked sausage served with lentils, passata, basil, onion and bacon lardons accompanied by mini yorkshires and garnished with parsley and slivers of parmesan cheese.

Homemade Chilli con carne and Rice followed by ice lolly for me and cheese and biscuits for everyone else. I can't touch dairy after spicy food.

We had Spaghetti Bolognese followed by strawberries, and cherries from our garden and ice cream.

Good Evening..
I'm on a high protein diet, Steak.....!!

Had dressed crab (with some sweet chilli sauce on the side), new potatoes, old fashioned salad (iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, etc.) and a chunk of crusty brown bread and butter.

For afters lemon mousse with some raspberries.

I´m going to Vera´s for dinner :-D :-D sod the Pizza ;-)

Had prawns cooked in a little butter with garlic, ginger and a chilli. Served with salad.
:-)

I loooooooooooove Errol's idea for dinner tonight :-D

Venison is one of my favourite meats.


I don't do much cooking, OH does almost all of it .................. but we do not cook on a Friday night.

Tonight it will be a trip down to the local Japanese restaurant, as we do on at least 4 Fridays out of 5.

For me, either Pork Gyoza or Yakitori (chicken on skewers), maybe Miso soup, 3 or 4 Nigiri Sushi, 1 or 2 Maki sushi (rolls) ....... depends on how hungry I am, appetite is still not up to normal. I drink cold water and green tea

OH will have Miso soup (possibly), Ebi Sunomono, and 1 Maki sushi roll. He will have a glass of plum wine on ice.

all made fresh as we order ............... and VERY reasonably priced.


On returning home, I will have dessert .............. frozen soy dessert (ie, mock icecream!!) and fresh fruit, followed by a couple of dark chocolate covered ginger.

OH will have 3 or 4 chocolates from our favourite chocolatier.



W often have our salmon on a Saturday evening ........... but it HAS to be wild sockeye. OH usually poaches it in a lemony liquid, and we split 1 steak between the 2 of us.

veal liver (imported from France), spinach with pine cone seeds, cold rose wine, home made strawberry tart, various soft cheeses

yum

salad as in the fruity side, with for me little salmon and for him an omelet with cheese and salmon. On the side is a home made smoothie with melon, orange, red fruits and kiwi.

Now isn´t that healthy cooking for me :-D :-D :-D Even I am impressed :-D :-D

Came home from a day traipsing round shops trying unsuccessfully to find something to wear for a wedding. Was fed up, tired and hot and not in the mood to cook so tonight it was a shop bought pizza taken from the freezer and shoved in the oven. It wasn't very nice but a glass or three of Pinot Grigio helped it down. :-D :-D

I whisked 2 eggs into some skimmed milk, stirred the remains of the last 2 evenings risotto, pasta and veg into it & microwaved it for four minutes - anybody remember the "I Hate to Cook Book"?

Just had...fresh cod fillet with tartare sauce.jersey new potatoes...which were OK,but not as good as they used to taste....Garden peas with mint and a bit of Lurpak on my potatoes....strawberries and cream after and a drink of cranberry juice...all easy..
Had ham salad with wholemeal bread for lunch
Not bad seeing I live alone,but I always have regular meal times...pretty much predictable I am!! :-D :-D

Alaskan salmon, new potatoes steamed with carrots and leek sprinkled with dill.

Strawberry trifle (my naughty treat from Aldi)

:-D

Ham in white sauce, runner beans and fried potatoes. Raspberries and yoghurt for a pud!

Fish fingers, chips and peas with tomato sauce, followed by an ice lolly! Guess who let her 4 year old granddaughter choose tonight ;-)

bbq pork steak frying peppers done on bbq and jacket pot. Possibly fruit for pud if needed Plus ofcourse a glass or 2 of wine

Salmon seems to be very popular.

Tonight I'm going to do poached salmon, new potatoes and a green salad....but Himself won't be home for a while yet, which is why I'm busy playing on here and am not in the kitchen :-) :-(

Spag Bol for us tonight, haven't had it for weeks.

Funnily enough, Himself refuses to eat any sort of pasta but will have Spaghetti. I know, don't ask.
