What are you making for dinner?

Reheated jacket potatoes with grated cheese, reheated cooked veg, cold chicken for me and cold sausages for HW for our lunch today as we'd been out all morning and came back ravenous. We're only going to need something light for supper so I'll decide what when we get there.

Not wanting to blow my own trumpet, but last nights dinner was so delish, Im doing the same tonight

Shared a portion of the veggie lasagne I made yesterday and garlic bread with OH. Have a feeling that i'll be eating the other two portions myself as the vegetable lasagne had too many vegetables apparently.

That sausage casserole exceeded all expectations, it was lovely, loads left too. It was just what I needed to as I started to go downhill last night headache, tonsils brewing – feel a lot better now – samosas for lunch and sausage casserole again for dinner.

Do you need or like a lodger? One where all meals are provided?

Nope! despite rattling around this place I’m still scarred from my days as a student in house shares fx:Shudder.

It’s strange that people think I eat differently. I’m fortunate that I live in London so have a huge range and diversity of foods at my fingertips in a way that somebody in a village or small town might not. Also having a ‘fairly large’ cookbook collection coupled with indexed recipes I can pull up all sorts of weird and wonderful meals by tapping in a single ingredient that either I need to use up or looks good at the market. Life is far too short to eat boring meal. Bought a great looking book on Sunday about German cooking (yup, who knew!) called ‘Strudel, Noodles & Dumplings’ by Anja Dunk. Have my eye on a few recipes to do by the end of the week.

Saw Jamie’s Italy and liked the look of his fish in crazy water but don’t have his book (and never will!) so did the version by Russell Norman in his latest book ‘Venice’ pg.130. Swapped out the sea bass for sea bream. Ate the fish separately then poured the ‘crazy water’ over some linguine..... delish! Had a largish lunch so no desert.

Glad

a veggie bolognese tonight, I had pasta last night and feel I've been eating too many carbs so I thinly sliced a red cabbage, steamed it and had it with the bolognese

But thats why I am so jealous, I cant get any ingredients here

My cooking has changed completely since I lived here, I have to buy what I can source

Even Lamb and Pork is hard to source , well you can get pork but nothing like outdoor reared unless is a supermarkets ( and god knows where they source it from ) and the same with Lamb. We have one butcher that still does slaughter and butcher his own animals but heres the joke, all the cheaper cuts are sold back to be shipped over to the mainland

Its so bad here that out of the three towns and 3 big supermarkets we have I still cant buy anything as simple as taramasalata , fresh lemon grass, fresh sage, chilli bean paste, anchovy paste - the list is huge, they are just things Ive looked for this week

I made salmon nicoise. (Sp)
New potatoes, green beans, rocket, tomatoes, olives, cucumber and poached egg with a salmon steak. I had had a variation of it last week whilst working away but it was frozen veg which were a little watery.
Enjoyed my version tonight.

I had an Aldi solero for afters, much nicer than the posh version.
