WHAT DID WE HAVE FOR TEA?

They were very good, I'll share the recipe when Agata emails it.
Tonight we will be having spicy chicken & avocado in lettuce wraps, followed by a chocolate mousse pudding (birthday treat!) Both recipes from Tom Kerridge's Dopamine Diet book.

Hubby just downed two big bowls of Veg Soup for tea and begged me not to throw the rest away as he wanted it for Lunch tomorrow. We really didn't enjoy having to sniff every bit of food we consumed on holiday...scared to take a decent bite...unable to believe the cook/waiter. ( "it was just a little bit of Garlic Madam, not enough to even taste it really" or "we have never had complaints before".)
One night, we were so sick of fighting the Garlic Brigade, we went through every Ready Meal in the local supermarket ( of about 40 choices, only ONE didn't list Garlic as an ingredient...that is just ridiculous!) it was a popular brand, Pasta/Tuna/Sweetcorn Bake. Nice enough, but you wouldn't want it every night...but NOR SHOULD YOU HAVE TO!

I had nothing on the go so a three egg cheese omelette for dinner and bacon ribs for tea with Stilton on biscuits to follow.

Scotch Egg and mushy peas for dinner. Half a small spit roasted chicken for tea with cheese and biscuits. I went veggie shopping and steamed the biggest cauli I have ever seen (59p). I shall cook the other veggies today.....

Cauliflowers are 3X that price here, but I still buy one every week.
BBQ Prawn Pizza ( homemade) for us tonight.
( heater on, and it is raining with gale force winds)

Meat pie and peas for dinner and scotch egg and baked beans for tea. No cheese and biscuits but a packet of honey roasted peanuts and cashews for a nibble.

I had a free leccy cooking fest yesterday. I cooked veggies first in the cider gravy from a mutton shoulder I cooked last week and they were ready for dinnertime so dinner was a meat pie and veggies. I also cooked the last of the mutton from the freezer and once de-boned this went in with the veggies together with the cooked shoulder of mutton from the freezer. So by teatime I had a meat heavy mutton stew. I had tea from the veggies in the stew so the remainder is ready for extending with more veggies later. In case you are wondering, I never tire of good, slow cooked mutton and veggies! I suppose I am a conservative cook......

I cooked more veggies yesterday and extended the life of the mutton stew. I had it for dinner and tea with cheddar and biscuits with an apple for afters.

Red Salmon and Cauliflower Mornay tonight...with a few Chips and Baby Peas.

Mutton and veggies X two for dinner and tea with cheddar and biscuits with an apple for afters.

Boring for some I know but exactly the same yesterday as the day before. The mutton and veggies improve daily......

The last of the mutton and veggies for dinner and tea.... Butcher's day today.

Two chicken thighs for dinner. Steak pudding and peas for tea. Kathy gave me a 10 ounce Jersey double Jersey cream that was on sell-by date so I had half a bowl of muesli with cream because I fancied it! Beautiful grub......

Post by **Stanley** » 13 Aug 2017, 03:32

Kathy delivered half a sheep for the freezer..... I had grilled bacon and eggs for dinner and Scotch Egg and mushy peas for tea followed by a bowl of muesli again to use up the last of the Jersey cream. What is it about cream! It was lovely......

Scotch egg, two tomatoes and two fried eggs for dinner. Another Scotch egg and mushy peas for tea followed by cheese and biscuits and one apple.

That's a lot of eggs.
Still - you can trumpet all you like when you live alone!

I bought some sweet potato on Saturday. I've made a Veg Curry with it and a host of other Veg.

They don't have that effect on me Maz and I have no fear of the cholesterol in them.

Speaking of trump's, Sally came across an advert for ladies anti flatulance pants (knickers) yesterday. Apparently they have a carbon filter in the seat! The mind boggles, whatever happened to French Knickers?

Marilyn · Post by **Marilyn** » 14 Aug 2017, 09:56

(Do French knickers have something French in the seat? I can only think of Lavender)
If I suffered from flatulence I would want to treat it before it reached my knickers!!!!

I think I may be peculiar... I have never worried about farting, it seems a perfectly natural occasional bodily function. Mind you they are running an advert on TV at the moment for a product named V I Poo... (LINK)
My diet was off the wall yesterday. Unusually, I found myself completely out of ready use food at dinnertime. I had to go to the Co-op anyway because I needed milk and a few other items. I saw a couple of things that grabbed my attention, a new product, smoked salmon Pate with Lemon amd horse radish at an introductory price so I got that and two plain teacakes, that was dinner sorted and was a nice change and very tasty. I also saw a bucket of spiced chicken legs and wings which was half price and remembering 'Buffalo Wings' in the bars of Northfield I bought it and enjoyed it for tea.
Don't worry, I haven't gone completely off the rails, I also did veggie shopping and got the biggest cauli in the world for 59p plus broccoli, cabbage and carrots.

My son's girlfriend texted me recently to say she had bought my son some VIPoo.
I replied that I was certain he would test it to the limit of it's powers!
I haven't heard how they are going with it.

Dinner will be Red Salmon, Cauliflower and Pasta in a Tarragon/Dill/Parsley and Black Pepper Sauce.

I'm just finishing a cooking fest Maz. Here's the cauliflower, it's been a really good year for veggies....

Marilyn · Post by **Marilyn** » 15 Aug 2017, 08:07

Looks Yum, and I could eat the lot, but will go halves!
Mine would be half the size and 3x the cost....so "fill your boots boy!"

Post by **Wendyf** » 15 Aug 2017, 08:38

We have had a good supply of home grown caulis this year but are back to bought ones now. Couldn't live without them! I had a bowl of cauliflower and courgette soup for lunch and an avocado for tea.
Colin cooked a beef mince and cabbage dish topped with cheese on Saturday (sometimes known as crack slaw) which was delicious but very filling, we will finish it off tonight with green beans from the garden.
