What are you making for dinner?

JIL

Oh crab legs, by coincidence I was watching blue bloods tonight and the family were eating crab claws, when they discussed that the fishermen who caught the stone crabs, just removed one claw and returned the crab to the sea, where it lived and grew a new one. Fascinating.

Anyway our dinner was a thai curry with prawns, hake and salmon, with green beans and rice.  (Used a paste and coconut milk)
I also made some beef burgers into larb and served it on iceberg lettuce. Husband was very impressed.

@JIL we love larb 🥰

What is larb?

Brie

the seafood last night included oysters.  I firmly told the OH that I would deal with them as I was sure otherwise there would be a trip to emergency!  Also samphire which also seems like such a good idea but doesn't always live up to expectations.  

tonight is guinea fowl and new potatoes.

@Frugalista
Larb is a minced meat mixed with thai spices and then mixed as a dry meat with more bits such as peppers, spring onions and maybe lime juice. It can be served as a salad or more often on a lettuce leaf.



I had a frozen turkey in the freezer since Christmas, so it was defrosted, I cut the legs off and cooked them in the slow cooker, I deboned the breast and rolled it with stuffing.  That was served with roast potatoes and veg for husband and inlaws.
Daughter and I had macaroni cheese.

Mrs Fiver is us making ham, eggs and chips, which is a pleasant change for us. The "ham" is a piece of home boiled gammon from our excellent butcher, the eggs are from a neighbour - who keeps a few chickens, and as we have run out of frozen chips, the deep fat fryer has come out of the very back of the cupboard for the first time in years!

A little Laoganma on my chips will make it truly food of the gods!

I had cheesy/chicken pasta on Friday night.
For lunch yesterday I made risotto for the first time. I added some peppers, grated carrot and mushroom to it and we shared a sirloin steak. At tea time we had ham, duck egg, and chips.
Tonight-  Dim Sum, Tofu, Chinese leaves, spring rolls and ribs. All either shop bought or donated from OH parents eg they grow the leaves in garden.

I made this soup yesterday in my slow cooker Spiced lentil & butternut squash soup recipe | BBC Good Food and had it with f/free greek style yoghurt, coriander and dukkah yesterday and f/free greek style yoghurt and flat leaf parsley today.
It's the first time I've tried dukkah and I'm not overly impressed with the flavour of the ready made jar I bought from Sainsby's a while ago so might try making my own next time I need it.

Sat I had a bit of mixed grain salad with squah and feta, some baby plum tomatoes and feta. With some luncheon meat (i know its rubbish meat but i got some RTC and crave it every now and again).

Last night I had beans on toast. Not my usual dinner but really didn't fancy anything else. Need to do a big shop but cba and waiting til pay day (ie putting it off)

Tonight is pork loins with apparently a 'rarebit' topping. Thanks to a certain Beeb food website. Either jackets or wedges depending on my fancy later. 
Tomorrow am breaking the new slow cooker out (bargain digital one reduced to 20 quid) and trying a mac and cheese. I normally just make mac and cheese with a hob top cheese sauce but thought this might open up a whole world of possibility
