One son is coming to dinner later. A chicken quarter each with sweet potato fries, and salad for me. (he hates salad).
Very simple today as I am without an oven at the moment.

Beetroot risotto as have a surplus of beetroot from the allotment. Most things haven’t fared well but for the first time I’m having great success with beets. A BBC recipe, haven’t tried it before so hope it’s good. Rasps to follow, they are suffering from the heat but still picking some every day.

Sweet potato jacket with Coronation chicken on top. Had salted caramel ice cream earlier.

Tonight. Steak and beans from the garden. I might do DH a few small potatoes. Pudding,? I haven’t decided yet .

Fish fingers small potatoes and broccoli didn’t enjoy it at all, it was a strange combination for us ?The best bit was the mini magnum for afters.

Just couldn’t BA to cook - so hot here. So 2 x vegetable chow mein from M&S, followed by luscious fat black British cherries, also M&S.
Hardly ever have ready meals but that’s 2 days in a row now! ?

Will look it up, thanks. I love Jamie.

bacon, poached eggs, baked beans

My OH introduced me to bacon and beans on toast with scrambled egg - delish. This is really unhealthy but after the bacon is fried, I love the beans tossed into the pan and bubbled up. Not to be indulged too often but when you do, enjoy !!

3 mandarins and a lemon yogurt , too warm to cook or eat

Mixed green salad with avocado, olives and hard boiled eggs. A dollop of couscous on the side. None left!

Ours was fish cakes with carrots, and potatoes freshly dug this morning from the community garden where I volunteer. Individual tiramisu (Aldi’s) with my home grown blueberries. All ?. I do like weekends when we have desserts.

Salad of lettuce, avocado, cucumber,prawns, tarragon and mango. In mayo. Just right.

crazyH Sat 13-Aug-22 20:03:04

Sorry, I went off track.
For tea, I had a packet of crisps. I had lamb chops in the fridge, but I didn’t feel like it. I might have a midnight feast later ?

Shinamae Sat 13-Aug-22 19:54:34

Chicken sausages, mash and beans, MrJ is in the kitchen.

Grandmabatty Sat 13-Aug-22 19:37:38

Aberdeen Angus Sirloin steak with chips, onions, tomatoes and peas. Strawberry ice cream with mixed berries. It's a treat as I almost never have meat.

GrannyGravy13 Sat 13-Aug-22 19:35:18

Minted Lamb kebabs, vegetable rice (homemade) mixed salad and crusty bread.

We will eat in the garden about 8ish it’s still very warm here.
