I'm tracking back on this as I don't remember this picture….
meanwhile - tonight it's munchen weisswurst and I'm making some potato salad to have with. leftover new potatoes from Sunday dinner with a bit of chopped shallot and schnittloch/chives (keeping my finger well out of the way this time) and some yoghurt mayo dressing.

pasta with meatballs in tomato sauce tonight.
OH got a haunch of venison from the market yesterday which he proposes smoking and serving with roasties. Likely tomorrow evening. There's also sliced ham in the fridge which may be sandwiches with either soup or salad on Sunday.

goodness me! you'd think no one had eaten in the last 10+ days!!!
Sunday OH finally cooked the leg of lamb bought for Easter. He used his new smoker and it turned out perfectly. Also meant that the kitchen didn't get heated up (much). Cornish new potatoes and green beans with it. The lamb was studded with garlic cloves and about 20 kilos (ok maybe not quite) of fresh rosemary on top. Our rosemary bush is so out of control I can't even see where he cut everything off!!
Lots of leftovers so I sliced up the remaining lamb and put in a foil packet and added it to the old Weber propane bbq (cool kitchen!!). Made some tzatziki with yoghurt, cuke, black olives, lemon juice and salt and pepper. Lettuce and tomatoes and pitas on the side. Both nights sitting out looking at the garden and watching the swallows.
It's true that the bbq is well past it's sell by date - likely had it for about 12 years so also out of warranty but it looks like the burners are shot. I'll offer it on freegle in case anyone can fix it and will look to get a new one later in the summer when the discounts on bbqs kick in.
Tonight we've got tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, avocado, basil, lettuce and a sourdough loaf (our Tesco has stopped doing ciabatta). We'll dine al fresco again as it's in the shade and there's a good breeze here. There may be some wine for me and pernod for him.

I made the crazy decision to cook today, in this great heat, but the method in my madness is that I will not have to cook in tomorrows even-hotter furnace. Plus I made some cherry ice cream, so all is good. For tonights meal - made a veggie tray bake last night, added garlic and had some sweet chilli sauce to drizzle. Made a double batch of (veggie) toad in the hole, one for tomorow (throw it in air fryer, all is good), and one in freezer. Made some veggie/cheesy frittata, some for breakfast, some for freezer.
