Cooking Tonight (continued)

[Mr Bones]

Daughter made us sweet potato and chickpea curry including fresh coriander from the lotty.

[Bren In Pots]

Lamb bhuna, rice, parathas with Indian apple chutney.

[Containergardener]

Bbq tonight, Indian marinated turkey steaks, chinese spiced kebabs, a tomato mozz and olives salad and a green salad , OH will probably request new potatoes or a rice side

Shall also be eating cake (mum made a madeira and a ginger cake so I got half of each the other day)

[Snoop Puss]

Catch-up time here:

Supper today cooked by D: spatzle with salmon and cream sauce with paprika and pink peppercorns.

Mr Snoop bought a bargain pack of short-dated chicken so:

Tomorrow to be cooked by me: misir and doro wat.

Day after to be cooked by me: pizza with gyros chicken and spinach with yogurt and harissa sauce.

The baguettes I made the other day looked terrible but tasted delicious (made with a poolish, so really well-developed flavour). So want to have another go, but anyone got any advice on slashing them? I've looked online, but all that seems to happen is the dough gets dragged by the blade, not cut.

Edited because still no special letters (a with umlaut in spatzle).

[Nicos]

Last night - Spicy mussels and egg tumble salad followed by fresh fruit salad
Tonight John Dory fish in some form or other....

[Containergardener]

Another bbq (making the most of no rain)

[Mr Bones]

Bulgar tonight with freshly picked broad beans and coriander, shop Tom's, peppers, sun dried Tom's, feta and our own wet garlic.

Snoops, you need razor blade sharp for cuts in dough (scary) I always struggle with it. Agree about poolish and flavour.

[Snoop Puss]

Thanks, Mr Bones, I had a razor blade. New lame but still horrendous. Have more of the same dough on the go so will be trying again.

Pizza night

[Mr Bones]

Jambalaya tonight with asparagus and lettuce on the side.

[Snoop Puss]

Sfincione style pizza last night, with gyros chicken strips on top and yogurt and harissa sauce on the side. Very inauthentic in every respect, but really delicious. Will definitely make again. D is Italian and polished it off, including with sauce.

Had a bit more luck with the baguette slashing. Just have to do it really quickly. Now to learn how to make deeper cuts quickly.

If D doesn't cook tonight, I'll make stuffed buckwheat pancakes (broccoli and mato cheese). And yet more bread for the freezer as oven will be on.

[Mr Bones]

Red lentil jalfrezi with sourdough flatbreads.

[Bren In Pots]

Last night we had veggie Chow mien and chips from the take away on the next street, tonight its tagliatelle, bol with garlic bread and a glass of red.

[Containergardener]

Curry tonight and veggie rice

[bramble]

Chilli beef with basmati rice and a glass of red.
