Saturday - 15 / 07 / 2023:

1) A light summer vegetable soup ..

2) Prawns: Saganaki.

Steak and ale pie and chips. I need fattening up as I have had no appetite for two weeks.
.

Jacket spuds and chilli con carne tonight.

We are eating mid-day where possible at them moment - better for my digestive system.

So we’ve had penne with pesto made with two types of nuts, avocado olive oil parsley and garlic, then fried courgette slices and peas.

It was delicious.

I don’t know yet, I’ll rustle up something.

Following a different thread, we made Jamie Oliver's Baked Polenta Chips for GC - chilly afternoon, they need healthy snacks.

We left Parm out of the chips and the dip - unnecessary ingredient to the taste. Added herbs to the chips. Quite good and well received.

Spag Bol with courgetti

My sister is over from Spain and we’re going to the Giggling Squid for a Thai meal tonight. (Slow cooked Moroccan lamb tomorrow.)

As it’s turned cooler, I think calves liver alla Veneziana which sounds posher than it actually is.
And with crushed new potatoes -saves the fact of scraping or peeling bigger pots.

Bulgogi Tofu Burgers, roasted potato wedges, tomato cucumber salad, fruit. Rice pudding including dried fruit.

Chicken Tikka - home-made - chicken thighs marinated in yogurt and spices, baked in the oven, with Bombay potatoes and pilau rice. One of my favourite meals, also a favourite of late DH.

Ooh, I like Mary Berry’s sausage supper whitewavemark2. So easy to put together and hardly any washing up. Very tasty, too.
Tonight, though, we’re having pork steaks which have been marinating all day in a Chinese style marinade along with jasmine rice and some stir fry vegetables all washed down with a glass of red as it’s Friday 👍🏼😁.

Chicken, sweet potato and pea curry.

Lamb chops, new potatoes and very minty peas. Dh is out so I can indulge - he hates lamb chops.

Black bean burgers, buns, cabbage pepper slaw, baked carrot wedges, fruit. Leftover desserts if any remain at that moment.

Sausage supper - easy Mary Berry.

We should test one (or two) 😀

Some potatoes have been terrible lately, MiniMoon, even new potatoes.
We haven't planted any this year.

I wish they did 🍰🤪😢

To me the words “low calorie”, “Irish Coffee” , “meringue” and “Gateau” do not belong in the same sentence! 🤣🤣

Oh but they should! 🥰
