    I've been told to sort dinner.....we have salmon in the freezer as well as schnitzel.  Or I can go out and get some chicken (cue OH rolling his eyes) or pizza (cue again....). 

    Why is it that whatever I think to cook he rolls his eyes?  And then usually about 2/3 the way through eating mumbles something about things being really nice, he didn't realise this is what I meant when I said....!!!  But the next time I suggest it again I know I'll get the eye roll!!

    @Brie if my hubby ever has the audacity to roll his eyes in my direction, I ask him if he’s looking for his brain 🤣🤣 
    Perfect!!  Must remember that one!!!

    Decided - salmon is thawing so it will go on the bbq, there's some potatoes to go with - either croquette or diced and hollandaise.  Fresh from the garden parsley and chives to be scattered on top.  Small salad on the side.  His will have cucumber (ewww!)

    We had new potatoes, boiled and sliced and done in the actifry. With eggs, mushrooms and tomatoes. It was very tasty for a use up meal.
  • I've been carefully using thr sliced bread crusts to make a supply of breadcrumbs which i freeze. Tonight I made chicken goujons with some reduced chicken breasts. I dipped in egg and breadcrumbs then baked along with homemade wedges, accompanied by minty pea purée made with frozen garden peas, some homemade veg stock, garlic and a bunch of mint. 
    ''Twas delicious 
  • And to make thr most of the oven I baked a thick onion quiche topped with crispy fried breadcrumbs - my new favourite thing
