What are you all having to eat tonight? I cook every evening and have been getting bored with the usual meals. Tonight, I've made a Chicken Jambalaya - it's a Hello Fresh recipe I had ages ago, but I bought all the ingredients and have adapted it a bit.
I am awaiting delivery of a sack of potatoes, as I’m not enjoying the supermarket ones, so I’d planned sea bass with boiled and roast and cauliflower cheese. I’ll give it half an hour, then it’ll be macaroni cheese with bacon and onion.
We have just finished eating my home-made beef, mushroom and carrot pie. I make my pastry with butter and egg and serve plenty of beef gravy, mashed potatoes and peas.
I will choose between fillet steak, Parmesan coated chicken breast and salmon and crab risotto, all favourites at one of my favourite restaurants. This is the second meal out in probably 4 months. I will do my best to enjoy it.
Your tea is my kind of tea Whitewave. We love Christmas chutney too and I bought quite a large sized Kilner jar of it. We’ve broken it open already ? annsixty Mmmm how to choose between those 3? Enjoy whichever you settle on.
Dustbin soup - my mother’s term for a whatever-you-have. Onion, celery, some ends of swede, celeriac and turnip that needed using up, red lentils, some leftover mashed potato to thicken, parsley, a chicken stock cube - so far. A few chopped green beans and some white cabbage ditto, plus a little leftover gammon, cubed, will go in for the last few minutes. Dustbin soups are often on the winter menu in this house - dh loves them.
Tonight, seabass with fine green beans and spinach, don't usuall eat potatoes in the week, followed by mince pies and cream accompanied by a glass of Picpoul.
We had chunky fish finger butties. On white bread that’s the rule - soft thick Warbie’s. Thickly spread with butter and topped with tartare sauce. Food of the gods! Followed by a slice of cherry Genoa cake (not home made who d’ya think I am - Mary Berry?) with a cuppa. #lazygran
