What's for dinner today?

One of our prized culinary treasures which is not as easy as it sounds to obtain at the Madrid Capital tapas bars ..

A scrumptuous home made spinach and Swiss Gruyère cheese, versatile with or without ham of choice, is our Quiche tonight.

Tonight's will be chicken Rogan Josh and naan bread

Cottage pie, some of yours sound scrummy but I'v never been an adventurous cook ( the Coronation Quiche took me well out of my comfort zone)

A chicken and potato tray bake ripped out of the waitrose free newspaper thingy. I'll let you know.

It was a recipe ripped out of the Waitrose thingy.

Quiche and salad .
Strawberries and cream .

Garlic & chilli baked beans (a new recipe to us, I cooked cannellini v tinned). Sourdough, salad, fruit sauce. All good and cheap as chips.

Cold chicken, leftover from Sunday, broccoli, carrots and jacket potato.

New member wishes to say, I see so many superbly splendid recipes ..

Not brilliant really. I do a better tray bake with chicken,new potatoes, petters, onions, garlic and cheery tomatoes.

We have both been under the weather so I made a special Chinese meal hot and sour soup duck with pineapple and fried rice. I finished with home made banana fritters and my clotted cream ice cream.

I think I’ll have that juicy steak which is sitting in the fridge, with onions and mushrooms and now a fried egg on top will just finish it off with a glass of the bubbly while sitting in the garden like I did the other day slurp slurp

Roast chicken - stuffed with garlics, lemon skins, herbs. Baked on chopped veg - leeks, onions, potatoes, carrots. Bread, salad, fruit gallette.

My lovely brother's favourite - family celebration time!

Due to our professional timetables on the 1st of June, we both had Menú del Días ( 3 course Lunches) at a favourite Madrid Capital neighbourhood Spanish Restaurant.

Starter: I had a Caesar Salad (no protein).
Main: I loved the line caught fresh perch.
Wine: I had the Chilled House Rosé .. and a bottle of Sparkling water with lemon.
Dessert: We shared the tri chocolate cheesecake and an Espresso.

13 €uros .. Also the meal came with a basket of warmed bread.

Was delightful.

That sounds a delicious bargain Margaux

As it's warm and sunny I'll be having a salad of smoked salmon, avocado and leaves

Yes it is quite reasonable if you compare what it would cost to prepare the meal at home.

The Smoked Salmon with avocado sounds wonderful. We enjoy Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon & avocado verses the traditional !!

Friday is our Corner Bar´s Terrace for Tapas & Wine with friends.

To hold us over until we have dinner, is an Iberian Ham & Breadstick Duo.

Dinner shall be 2 or 3 home made Tapas and wine ..

Nice weekend wishes.

Decided to have Tapas at home verses going out.

The weather is quite variable and not so pleasant.

I hurt my back earlier in the week and it’s still sore so I’m having a lazy cook’s dinner tonight.

Gf breaded cod, frozen chips and frozen cauliflower cheese, All shoved in the halogen oven.

Mackerel, I very rarely eat it but DH is cooking.

Tomorrow I'm planning a Jamie Oliver veggie curry that someone posted on another thread.
Who thought it would be so difficult to find Thai curry paste!

Hope your back feels better soon, merlotgran.

Merlotgran,

Speedy recovery.

Thank you, Calli and margaux.
Entirely self inflicted In afraid. I was relocating some large pots in the garden without using the sack barrow so it serves me right.

Annoying when it stops you in your tracks though.

See how you feel tomorrow and if necessary go over to the Hospital Emergency for some medication to ease the pain and let them make sure that you do not require anything serious (an xray).

Best wishes.
