TONIGHT`S DINNER

Ratatouille (with jacket potato for DH as a fast day for me) with some haddock and fruit to follow.

Nankate - I'll put the recipe for the keema on the the recipe bit later! It was on a leaflet I picked up in the butchers.

Thanks Kitty I look forward to trying it.

I've posted it NanKate. Sorry if there are typos - I had help!

Hope you enjoy it

Quick & easy veg soup to-night followed by plaice & thick cut chips,we are lucky to have a fabulous little fishmongers near to us and he does the gutting for me so I only have to dip into breadcrumbs and all done,will use the other half of the lemon in G&T later on so nothing wasted.

Thanks Kitty looks yummie.

Tonight we had delicious mushroom soup bought in local deli and sourdough bread from little artisan bakery I have just found. I loved the bread but DH wasn`t quite so keen

We've had rabbit pie, bought from the local farm shop, with cauliflower cheese. DH had American fries with his. It was delicious. The farm shop were raising money for a cancer care charity so we had a go on the tombola, and bought tickets for the raffle. I won a pretty pink cyclamen plant on the tombola and when we got home had a message to say DH had won a raffle prize. He's going to get it tomorrow.

By special request of DD3 we are having chicken tighs roasted on new potatoes, peppers, red onions and garlic. With a couple of It has been a long and trying week!!

Well done hilda

Thai curry made with salmon, with veg and noodles - yum.

Casserole (adapted from a Diana Henry recipe) of venison sausages (personally imported from Waitrose), lentils, red wine, spoonful of this season home-made damson jelly, rosemary, mushrooms and a pinch of chilli. Served with steamed leeks. Delicious though I say it myself. ��

Sounds good Mamie.

Nothing very exciting here tonight. It's fish, chips and peas tonight and a yoghurt with flaked almonds on the top.

As it's Friday I usually makes us a nice strong Bacardi and Coke, memories of our youth.

Chicken parmagiana (sp???) with new potatoes and ginger and garlic green beans. Really easy because I had the tomato sauce in the freezer!! Result!

Quick dinner tonight, been a busy day. Baked potato, baked beans and local butcher's wonderful sausages.

Gurnard fillets with (Rick Stein recipe) bouillabaisse sauce and saffron potatoes.

Smoked mackerel and leek pasta bake, green salad. Stewed plums and single cream for afters. With a movie on DVD (hope I like it, it's a Western)

grannyknot that sounds delicious - could you pass on the recipe? We had sautéed sea bas, potatoes Boulanger (sliced and baked in the oven with onions and thyme) and purple sprouting broccoli. Late strawberries from the allotment for afters.

Bangers, mash and veg cooked by DS as it is the GSs favourite.

Tagine of lamb, spices, chickpeas, aubergines and courgettes with poached quinces (we have a quince mountain).

Homemade chicken korma, spiced potatoes, rice and nann bread.

Tagine of potatoes, carrots and peas from new recipe book, plus couscous and fresh fruit for afters. Tagine seems to be popular tonight!

jam it is and so easy! I bought the mackerel from a local farmer's market, home smoked. It was delicious, melt in the mouth (and that was me tasting prior to putting it in the dish!) I'll put the recipe on the recipe thread now.

Tonight we had home made celery soup with (also home made) cheese scones.

Grannyknot thank you for putting that recipe on. It sounds delicious and looks really easy to do. I will give it a try soon as I love smoked mackerel.

I love my DW, but she has definitely lost her marbles

Quote :-

"We are having lamb stew for dinner - do you want dumplings with it ?"

Is the Pope Catholic ? - what a stupid question.

BUT, when I said yes, she then turned devils advocate and gave me all he reasons why I shouldn't - will I ever understand women?

I would make lemon chicken but Gary has put the lemon tree that has lemons on it in the greenhouse and I can't get at it!
Come to think of it I haven't any chicken either.
Oh well! Beans on toast are healthy
