Really feeling like I've got my cooking mojo back now. I have half an aubergine and a courgette to use somehow - any suggestions? Thinking I guess I could roast then use in a veggie lasagne?

Or I have a jar of curry sauce somewhere (poss penang) - could use them in that I guess, perhaps with some prawns, and baby corn?

Feeling a lot better today, definitely more energy. Thanks again for your kind words. I hate being ill.

Tonight I was trying to use things up, I bought some padron peppers at the weekend from Lidl, £1.09. These got lightly fried and salted. A Spanish omlette, meatballs from the freezer in a Spanish sauce, some calamari and some bread. Husband had two platefuls. I was more reserved.

Afterwards remembering my car is going for its MOT and service tomorrow so I won't be able to do the weekly shop without working out some logistics to use husband's car I went to Aldi. For the first time in weeks they had halloumi fries. Limited to two packs per customer. Rationing halloumi fries! Whatever next.

I chucked a vege / vegan chilli together this afternoon while I had a few mins spare (so quick to cook) so there's a big pan of that for tomorrow. Used up half a packet of Ghost chilli marinade that was LO from when I used it to make some roasted veg - it was already past its BB date so another thing out of the cupboard.

OH is having HM bruschetta for dinner (first time I've made it at home and think I've made a rod for my own back now - it is very nice though even if I do say so myself)

I have a LO portion of Thai green curry and rice i've just pulled from the freezer so will have that.

I once had a baked aubergine topped with stilton cheese, it was really nice.
I like to cut courgette and carrot into really thin strips ( I have a thing that looks like a potato peeler that makes this easy) then I stir-fry them. Makes a nice change.

Or what about the Spanish dish of battered aubergine with honey.

Or layered together with tomato and mozzarella and baked.

Friday is date night :kisses2: - Hubby is in charge of food

Edit - Made some 'Jumbleberry' Jam from an assortment of soft fruit, picked enough to make a pound jar

Also made Blood Orange sorbet as a treat for DH - it's his favourite, so I will have some brownie points for the weekend :rotfl:

:jI can honestly say I’m proud of myself today - 2 YL pizzas, £6.20 worth bought for £1.80 - a fancy pulled pork one for OH and a cheese one for me with a bit of chopped chilli mackerel from the freezer and sliced black olives, 2 slices each of the YL olive bread I sliced and froze - feels expensive and Friday night treat-ish, cost about £2 :j :j

And super easy to make :j

Just had a mushroom risotto ready meal thing DM gave me. Errr, it looked a little like gruel although some grated cheese perked it up a bit.
