Pork stir fry with mango, mangetout, red pepper, sweet corn and some sort of Chinese greens - depends on what is in the vegetable Trugs.

Mushroom Veggie Lasagna (without cheese), breads, salad, melon. Modified Summer Pudding.

A cold collation!!! Just been to Waitrose and bought all sorts of stuff.

Asparagus risotto.

Oh, and NZ Sauvignon Blanc 🙂

Fish pie (home-made)

A bone-in pork chop, with carrots, spinach and pan fried mash potato, and a nice glass of Shiraz Cabernet. Or two.

Friday Evening: 09 / 06 / 2023 .. Tapas on a Terrace.
We had drizzling and stormy rain most of the week. So today was the 1st sunny day with blue skies.

Pulpo a la feira = Fresh Grilled Octopus with Smoked Paprika & drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and sea salt.

To drink: A glass of Galician Albariño.

Spring soup, breads and hummous, salad, fruit. Galette.

Salmon wrapped in pancetta, new potatoes and minted peas.

Just had a pasta dish (leftover😳), with salad and avocado, as we’re off to see Rumours, a Fleetwood Mac tribute band this evening. 🎸🥁🎤🎶

A substantial minestrone, with garlic bread if there’s still any in the freezer. Meant to buy baguettes and make some more today, but forgot when in Asda earlier.

Tomorrow a dd will be here, so it’s going to be cubed, marinated pork fillet barbecued on skewers, in pitta ‘pockets’ with salad containing lots of parsley and lemon juice, Cyprus style. Exceptionally yum.

Lemon chicken, jersey potatoes, watercress and green beans. Fruit.

Red lentil curry, bread, salad. Cake.

Risotto ..

Steak pie with some new potatoes and garden peas. It’s been a lovely sunny day but there’s a very chill wind.

As winter has returned to North Leicestershire, we are having potatoes, sausage and cheese oven bake thingy. It has shallots, tomatoes and pine nuts too and is very comforting when the weather is upside down.

We're having sausage and mash with roast vegetables; peppers, onions, garlic, courgette, tomatoes and mushrooms.
It's gone very warm again today. Should have planned a salad!

Our mainmeal of the day is at 14.00 - 14.30 called Menú del Día as we work professionally and live in the Madrid Capital. (Husband is Madrileño). Obviously, I am French.

Starter: A simple salad with Ventresca albacore tuna (jar) with a variety of green & red oak leaf lettuces and hard boiled egg sliced and tomato. Vinaigrette.

Main Course. Freshly baked Norwegian Haddock, called Gallineta in Spanish and Rascasse de Fond in French - with garlic, fresh finely sliced tomato, fresh parsley, sliced sweet onion and a grind of assorted Mediterranean spices.

Was perfectly prepared.

Dessert: We shared a bowl of season fruit - Green melon called Sapo in now in season and it was amazingly sweet.

Cauliflower farro casserole. Stirato, tomato and rocket salad. Fruit.

Chicken korma with a lot of vegetables .

Banana Split - having bought the right kind of dish yesterday !
