Happy anniversary @Brie
Jolly well done on the bargains @C_J - your aubergine curry sounds scrumptious. May I ask for the recipe for the marscarpone, mushroom, shallot, garlic and truffle oil pate please? It sounds right up my street and I have a glut of shallots to use up.
@kerri_gt - your "murdered a smurf" comment is making me giggle, brilliant.
I made these onion bhajis for dinner and managed to use up two onions and quite a lot of mint doing so Onion bhajis recipe | BBC Good Food and everyone in the comments is right about doubling the spices and adding cumin, coriander and garam masala. I didn't bother to photograph them because they looked just like every other onion bhaji I've ever seen and I'm sure you all know what they look like as well.
I had a rather overripe mango to follow with coffee.

@goldfinches :
3 shallots and 2 fat cloves of garlic, diced and gently sautéed in some truffled oil (but olive oil would be just as good). Add chopped mushrooms (at a guess, I think I used around 300g of chestnut ones). Cook gently
I then soaked a tablespoon of dried porcini mushrooms for 10 minutes in boiling water, drained them (I added the liquid to a pan of veg stock I was making) and added those to the pan. Leave to cool to room temperature, then blitz to a smooth paste along with a glug of white wine vinegar, a tub of mascarpone, a grind of black pepper and a handful of grated Parmesan cheese.

And besides maple is better with pork, chicken or salmon.
(to bbq a side of salmon first marinade over night in a mix of maple syrup, rye whiskey, soy sauce and garlic) (frankly the same marinade would do nicely on the chicken or port too)I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.

Hello. I have to eat out of the freezer and cupboards so much more, due to a huge change in circumstances, this is a lot harder. My OH has had a huge dietary change and now cannot eat much of what I consider staple foods for us. I need some motivation as I love to cook and miss cooking in the way I did. I am hoping to pick a few ideas up from here (and some motivation!).2
