What's for dinner today?

Today I made mince and dumplings with buttered cabbage and mash. We had an ice lolly each for dessert. It's been a drizzly sort of day so I made comfort food.

Yes! Salcombe it is beautiful, parking, just impossible, Park and Ride only operates in high season

You do realise Callistemon we're derailing this thread, in spite of numerous mentions of South Hams, it would be disingenuous to suggest that "the hams" are part of anyone's dinner

Ham, egg and chips, Terribull 😁
(Actually, that's not true, it was chilli!)

But I'll never forget that one trip to Salcombe with two small children!.

I used to live in the South Hams.

Tonight

Seabass in white wine with left over roasted ratatouille and airfried potatoes.

Rice pilaf with baby peas, marinated scrambled baked tofu with shallots and grated carrots, salad, bread, fruit. Baking a chocolate cake.

Steak pie, which I shall make later, B-road beans and carrots. No potatoes as the pie has pastry.

Out to lunch to a garden centre today. Looking forward to a jacket potato with coronation chicken.

Chicken curry, followed by strawberries and ice cream.

A friend invited us round for dinner. I'm only taking Lentil Shepherd's Pie. They are doing all the nibbles, salads, breads and pudding.

I do think my husband is pondering taking Prosecco.

Saturday - 1st of July ..

Have been travelling for professional purposes ..

However, returned Friday the 30th of June.

Here is our lunch of Saturday.

Chicken curry done in the slow cooker, along with some Nan bread.

Gluten free fish and chips, ordered online and delivered by the son of the owner.

Grilled lamb chops, sautéed new potatoes and just one veg, not decided which yet.
Strawberries and grapes au natural for after.
A glass or two of red may be taken.

Chicken sausages, mash and beans, MrJ will cook and serve!

Avocado & Prawns (very retro but one of my favourite starters)

Pork Saltimboca with new potatoes and last of the English asparagus.

Moussaka followed by fresh raspberries (and Cornish icecream)

Possibly a glass of vino.

Venison, broccoli, carrots, swede and Marchesini Piemonte Rosso.

We couldnt manage the raspberries and icecream tonight.

Mañana

Savoury steak mince with carrots, turnip (swede) and Jersey Royals. Yoghurt for afters.

Rice curried with artichokes, olives, green olives and chick peas- cold. Corn basel tomato salad. Green salad. Breads. No idea to dessert.

I made a large lasagne for 5 today. We had loads of salad with it followed by shop bought lemon meringue pie and ice cream.

Roast beef, roast potatoes (jacket for me) cauliflower, carrots and cabbage.

Rather than cook two meals, I've made a vegetarian lasagne to accommodate the vegetarian member of the family, which we will all eat with accompanying Jersey Royals and green beans. For pudding, I've made an almond flavoured sponge sandwiched together with raspberries and cream, washed down with a glass or two of Sauvignon Blanc Hope to eat outside, don't think it will rain, fingers crossed.

We don’t eat till between 7-8pm most nights, but on Sunday it’s normally 6.30ish.

Today it’s roast beef, roast potatoes & celeriac, yorkshire pudding, sweetheart cabbage along with tender stem broccoli.

As much as I like food from around the world, you can’t beat a Sunday roast.

Marinated salmon with salsa.
