tonight we are also having chicken. Aldi had some crispy southern fried wings on offer of the week €2.99 so we are having those with homemade chips (sweet potato for my daughter or “orange potatoes” according to her) plus salad and sauces:money::rotfl::T5 -
I have made Jamie Oliver's recipe for Pasta Alla puttanesca as we had tomatoes that needed to be used up. It is really tasty. We had that at lunchtime as I am often not well enough to cook later in the day. I have made some soup for dinner using up leftover veg and I have a Victoria sponge in the oven for OH who is complaining that there is no cake.4

I have a chicken in the Remoska for just over an hour, with carrots, halved baby potatoes and an onion - I spatchcocked the chicken (first time ever!) and brined it in 4 cups buttermilk (well, milk soured with lemon juice), two tbs salt and 1 tbs pepper - the recipe called for garlic granules/powder but I find that stuff always goes rock-hard in the jar, so I used 'VeryLazy Garlic'. The recipe is by The Stay at Home Chef - her You Tube channel shows how to do the spatchcocking if you haven't done it before.
Will let you know how it turns out.
For pudding, we have a slice each of Rhubarb and Lemon Tart, made last May so I thought it best to get it out of the freezer and into our tums!2 -
Had our honking big pork chops done on the Weber last night. Mash and peas on the side. My chop was so big I couldn't finish it! (well I did a couple of hours later.....)
Pizza tonight - OH is going to go to the shops to get a couple that we can decorate. I'm hoping to have a large slice left to take for my lunch at the office tomorrow.
The work restaurant has become completely hit and miss and badly prepared as it's closing in a couple of weeks and the one proper chef they had has left to work elsewhere. It's a shame as he was very good at his job and very creative - I think he liked the job though he was much too good for it as it never included evenings or weekends unlike so many chef jobs. But the company that runs/ran the restaurants on all our company's sites had become overly prescriptive too and insisted that all "contact centre/business sites" had to serve the same things at the same prices. It was probably just a matter of time before they closed ours as no one wants to pay London prices when you can cross the road and get something sometimes at half the price.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.
