What's for dinner today?

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

Oh but they should! 🥰

I wish they did 🍰🤪😢

We should test one (or two) 😀

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

Sausage supper - easy Mary Berry.

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

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

Chicken, sweet potato and pea curry.

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 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.

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

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.

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

Spag Bol with courgetti

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.

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

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.

Jacket spuds and chilli con carne tonight.

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