What’s everyone having for dinner, continued

Beef rendang and lots of veg

Lemon chicken and special fried rice.

Stuffed aubergine, baked, garlic new potatoes, kale.

I have been eating so carefully lately to avoid annoying my hiatal hernia and acid reflux (and get rid of my lockdown belly ?) .

This afternoon the weather has turned cold and grey, we’ve bagged up a load of garden rubbish ready for the tip and we’re tired. So Mr. B has just tempted me with sausage, beans and chips, the devil!

Beans on toast

Poached eggs and toast

Home-made chicken tikka with pasta spirals---yummy.Gone !

Left over salad. Left over roast chicken. Some old yoghurt that needs using up. Probably some over ripe blue cheese and an apple.

Too lazy to go shopping this afternoon. I'll regret it tomorrow when I don't have time to get out to shop and am reduced to eating school food or pasta.

Neither of us particularly hungry so a salmon and cucumber sandwich with a salad garnish. Sometimes it’s just enough.

Well, it was going to be chicken and veg stir fry, but then Mr J said he fancied fish and chips and he’d go and get it.....

Fish finger bhurta.

Lunch tongue and roast peppers. Delicious.

Home made oxtail slow cooked in red wine and veg Greek yoghurt with stewed rhubarb from my garden.

The rest of yesterday’s potato and onion pie, there will still be enough for lunch tomorrow - think the recipe needs adjusting.

Home made kebab, pitta, salad. First time I tried to make it, left the processor blade cover on, with plastic bits blended into the meat, into the bin it went, ?

A vegan sort-of shepherd’s pie, bit of an experiment and made in a rush to take to dd’s later. Onions, celery, red lentils, veggie stock, mushrooms, tomato purée, a little pearl barley, a tin of kidney beans, a tin of baked beans. Plenty of mash and a bit of vegan ‘cheese’ on top.

Such a headache knowing what to take nowadays - pre vegan (well, veggan since they will eat FR eggs inc. from their hens) they were utterly unfussy, except for the invariably picky Gdcs, the 2 elder anyway.
I’m taking a load of potato wedges and a tin of beans for Gdcs, and at least they will eat broccoli.

Pork chops, barley and - yes- nettles! Par boiled and tossed in butter, salt and pepper. Full of goodness, vitamins, mineral salts, organic and free.

Stew and dumplings, haven’t had them for ages, but it’s quite cold today, and I feel like something comforting .

Because I had a craving the other day, Cyprus style pork kebabs in pitta bread, with salad inc. lots of parsley.
Would be nice if it’s not raining later, so could barbecue, but if not I’ll do them under the grill. Will marinate in oil and lemon juice first.

Frikadella made with turkey meatballs and a mustard sauce, served with mashed spud and green beans. Comfort food for a chilly evening.

Mushroom omelette, large mixed salad, lemon and coriander couscous. Strawberries and Greek yoghurt, drizzle of honey.

Chicken and mango salad with French fries.

Tonight we had the half duck that comes in a pack with rice pancakes and hoisin sauce. Roasted to crispy, served with batons of cucumber and spring onions, delish.
Must buy it more often.

Spicy marinated chicken with rice and peppers.

Gammon, in the slow cooker with apple juice, dauphinois potatoes, carrots, cauli and carrots..three c’s!
