Galen, no cooking done by me. The prawns were cooked by the Co-op!smile

Surely there must be a proper alternative to the dreaded 'curry powder' - I won't have it in the house!

Yes I plan to make Galens chops sometime. Eating up spare stuff at the moment like left over passata in enchiladas today.

Galen I don't have a slow cooker, but I do fancy cooking your exotic dish. Can it be done on a low heat in the oven do you think ? Do you sear the chops beforehand ?

I start my pre-colonoscopy diet tomorrow (sorry too much information) so I think a good helping of Spag Bol will be in the menu tonight.

Today I plan to have Turkey Enchiladas (must get it out of freezer) and make a peach (gone a bit soft) sponge and custard.

We had cold roast pork (left over from Sunday) bubble and squeak (including left over honey roast carrots from Sunday) coleslaw ( which I just happened to have in the fridge!) and various pickles.

Today we are having slowcooked beef curry.

<wanders back in>

red sauce and spaghetti.

Red sauce, before there are too many aghast sounds, consists of a variety of vegetables in a chopped tomato sauce. It did have seeds in, unfortunatly ds has left a little offering in the form of a pile of carefully picked out pumpkin seeds on the carpet. Oh the joys of autism. next time I shall blend the buggers first

Lamb chops, baked potato with butter and grated cheese, salad.

Tomorrow will be yesterday's left over chicken and veg.

shysal Mon 21-Sept-15 19:59:53

Prawn salad, therefore no cooking.

M0nica Mon 21-Sept-15 19:46:02

Main meal was at lunch time. Salmon with potatoes and cabbage from the garden, followed by grapes ditto.

harrigran Mon 21-Sept-15 19:43:32

Mince and dumplings with mashed potato, carrot and swede.

Tegan Mon 21-Sept-15 19:17:51

Cheese on toast but need to check if I've actually got the 'toast' bit. If not I'll be joining Katek and have porridge blush.

Cherrytree59 Mon 21-Sept-15 19:03:35

Onions courgettes peppers mushrooms + chorizo with sweet chilli + garlic sauce. Roasted in oven with sea bass placed on top for the last 20 mins covered over with tin foil

loopylou Mon 21-Sept-15 18:58:41

Delicious local farm shop sausages, buttery mash and the last of homegrown runner beans with onion gravy.

Ooohhh! raspberry crumble and cream, if only......

Indinana Mon 21-Sept-15 18:56:48

I'm just about to go in the kitchen to beat the bejesus out of a couple of chicken breast fillets and then coat them in egg and breadcrumbs to fry shock and eat with some oven chips shock. I shall have a bowl of raspberries from the garden afterwards [makingupforitemoticon]

janerowena Mon 21-Sept-15 18:45:16

Almost exactly the same as galen, only with chicken and apple (to use up as many as possible) mushrooms and squash - on spaghetti squash. The sauce has a big dollop of brandy and marsala in it. It's nearly ready... I am so hungry!

chelseababy Mon 21-Sept-15 18:42:49

Leftover roast chicken and veg from yesterday, feeling quite deprived after the feasts above!

Luckygirl Mon 21-Sept-15 18:40:47

Poached salmon steak with salad and baked potato. No pud - no room.

whitewave Mon 21-Sept-15 18:39:01

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 21-Sept-15 18:37:39

Pasta Vongole here, with cheese and figs later.

I bet that lamb dish would work with apricots too, Galen.
