What's for dinner today?

Friday 16 / 06.

We shall be going out for Chinese for lunch at China Crown on Calle Don Ramón de La Cruz # 6 - The Madrid Capital.

This is the oldest Chinese restaurant in Madrid. Exemplary.

To post a couple of photographs after lunch.

Nice day wishes.

I am out tonight with my friend to a favourite restaurant of ours.
The menu changes fairly frequently and if it is back on tonight I shall be having duck breast with a lovely sauce of port, cherries and vanilla.
Sometimes it is orange with Grand Marnier , also good but if tonight’s offering is with their plum sauce I shall be choosing a fish dish.
A vegetable selection, followed by Affogato,.

Always fish on a Friday.

My brother wanted salmon, convinced him aubergine pizza is better - we'll see

I can’t imagine not eating fish, in some form, on Friday. Although Anglican my mother always cooked fish on Friday. My husband’s Catholic so fish on Friday is what he’s always been used to as well. Many different types of fish and ways to cook, never boring.

Mum usually cooked salmon on Fridays. My most missed "meat" as a vegan is salmon, makes Friday difficult. However, part of the point of giving things up is to face difficulties, right?

Or so I tell myself.

Chicken sandwich. Too hot to cook.

Too hot to cook so a mozzarella burger (frozen), cooked in the air fryer, plonked on a bap with some salad.

Definitely Norah. I just find it difficult to give things up in the first place … no will power!

Saturday: 17 / 06 / 2023 ..

Terrace at home - Fritatta ..

18th June - Sunday: International Sushi Day ..

Roast pork, apple sauce, roast potatoes and parsnips, broccoli. Not exactly seasonal but what we both fancied.

So hot today I made my own Coronation chicken and it was delicious. Did rice and big salad with it and hubby picked up some lovely onion bhajis and popadoms from Aldi. 5 of us for lunch and all clean plates. We had fresh local strawberries and cream for dessert and lemon cheesecake.

Roast beef, yorkshires, DH’s first cauliflower of the season, carrots, gravy.

Strawberries from the garden and yogurt.

An attempt to teach the cooking methods of one of our herbivore favorites, Turmerics, black pepper, asparagus, tofu. Rice, bread, salad, fruit mess. We'll see, if teaching works well - next Friday Menu.

Lobster with a "piquillo" pointy red Basque pepper salsa ..

Cold beef with salad and salad potatoes.

I'm tutoring veg soup with tiny dumplings. Then bread, cabbage salad, green salad, fruit. Mystery pudding.
