    I’ve made a large pan of a sort-of lamb pilaf for tonight (and to finish off tomorrow night, there’s heaps of it).  

    All the ingredients - minced lamb, basmati rice, red peppers, green chillies, garlic, ginger, ground cumin, turmeric, curry spices, shallots, spring onions, fresh coriander, baby spinach, flaked almonds and pomegranate seeds - were all free from the Community Fridge. The volunteers there do such a magnificent job of saving so much food from being thrown away.

    Steak on the bbq tonight.  I would like jacket potatoes but agree that it's not the day to turn on the oven.  OH has voted for tinned potatoes instead - possibly my least favourite way to have taters.  Think it might just be cool enough to get the cushions out of the garage so we can enjoy a summer evening.

    Melon and black forest ham to start?  Or tomatoes and mozz with basil?  Or just prosecco??

    Courgette fritters with halloumi and side salad.
    It was going to be stuffed courgettes, but I’m another one who’s  not turning the oven on.

    @elsien those fritter sound delicious 😋 

    The moules last night were delicious, so plump… it was £18ea for mussels, chips, garlic bread and a glass of white wine each.  Huge portions too.

    A little more frugal tonight with cheese and charcuterie, various pickled veg and making some seed crackers to go with it, ciabatta too.

    The fritters weren’t overly successful but tonight’s attempt was better.

    Roast sweet potatoes with spiced roast chickpeas, garlic yoghurt sauce and cherry tomato parsley salsa on top.

    With the rest of the halloumi on the side. Will be making this one again.
