What are you making for dinner?

Lovely pizzas @kerri_gt

I cooked the big gammon joint yesterday and today that was husbands breakfast and dinner meat. Plated up dinners for inlaws as well, with more meat for sandwiches.

Dinner was Yorkshire puddings, gammon, roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese, cabbage (I have started throwing the greens from cauliflower in with cabbage) carrots, green beans and gravy. Dessert was a couple of individual cheesecakes I had bought cheaply. I thought they had an odd taste and noticed when I was sorting the recycling that they were dairy free.

I have some spicy sausages cooked in the fridge + mushrooms/tomatoes and an egg to use - also an oven bottom muffin. Need quick meals after hospital visiting.

Lamb Risini for the family, katsu stirfry for myself and the vegan one.

Ended up going out out yesterday evening, which culminated with an Indian at the end of it in a very nice restaurant. Not cheap but miles away from the mediocre takeaway we had the other week. The only thing is OH struggles to find what he likes as he's veggie, but very picky and they don't really seem to ever do what he really wants.

nice big pork chops for dinner last night with roasties and cauliflower and yorkshire.  The cauli look absolutely massive but half of it was leaves.  Still there was enough for last night and still some to have later this week, unless I freeze it.  Don't want to freeze too much as the freezer needs a good defrosting so best if I can fun some of it down.

Spent the day sorting out the airing cupboard and drove to the local animal rescue centre to drop off towels and sheets.  
Just about to make a quiche as I have loads of eggs, alongside leftover gammon that tea and tomorrows lunch sorted. With salad.

This week's meals have been planned but not assigned to a day so tonight will be chicken hoisin stirfry with fresh egg noodles from Mr Al or chicken fajitas (which we all love in our house)

Roast chicken here, with jacket potatoes and a Caesar salad. 

We’re out for a birthday dinner tomorrow night, there should be enough chicken left for sandwiches and a chicken noodle stir fry on Wednesday 🤞

I’ve never understood pizza, especially takeaway pizza, loads of cash for cheese on toast 🤣

we’ve been given a load of eggs, including half a dozen goose eggs, so will make frittata using up fridge gravel, served with salad and new potatoes for those that want 

Pizza is like anything - a good one, done properly is absolutely grand.  A bad one is like poorly made cheese on toast.  Usually with too much toast and not enough cheese.  An excellent pizza has minimal carbs as the crust will be very thin.  Top version of that is the german version - flamme kuchen that has a crust so thin you can practically see through it.  (regularly available frozen at Lidl if you wanted to try it, and the crust is more a flaky pastry than bready)

As for the goose eggs - best thing in the world for baking as they are so much bigger, richer.  That said I did one fried for the OH once.  No room on a dinner plate for anything else!!

I invested in some proper 00 grade flour for my pizza dough from the local Italian store - can tell the difference and makes a lovely crust.

Tonight's dinner was chilli liberated from the freezer with the other half of the mexican rice from the other night. Only several more packets of the sodding stuff to use up still....
