Cooking tonight (Mk3)

[greenishfing]

Earlier I gave my husband a choice of salmon or cottage pie. He picked cottage pie so just got a base out of the freezer to be topped with mashed potato later. Probably served with carrots and french beans.

Lunch: broccoli and blue cheese soup, fusilli with spag bol sauce.
Supper: more of the soup.

Doro Wat for tomorrow and the freezer.

Lunch: doro and misir wat.
Supper: cauliflower, pear and blue cheese soup.

Bread and some buns.

Salmon baked with lemon and capers, potato dauphinoise, carrots and peas. Maybe a blackberry and apple crumble.

Lunch: salad and asparagus risotto
Supper: cauliflower, pear and blue cheese soup (not made yesterday, as we had sandwiches instead while the bread was fresh).

Curry tonight. Chicken and squash I think for a change. Also naan bread.

Lunch: fake roast shoulder of pork (done in a pressure cooker), fake roast potatoes (done in a pressure cooker then finished in a pan), assorted veg (done in a pressure cooker). Not sure about a pud. Diet starts again tomorrow and having sweet stuff in the house will not be helpful.
Supper: minestrone soup (guess what... done in a pressure cooker).

For dinner: Mushroom and lentil ragout, with polenta.

I've just baked a few portions of pasta bake. One for the freezer, a couple for elderly relatives and one to eat tonight with some garlic bread.

Raclette and pierrade ( basically a diy at the table of fry and grill!)

Pierrade is a new word for me, though it turns out I have seen appliances like this in pictures, never in the flesh. Do these stones work well?

I'm going to bake a ham joint this afternoon. I think we'll have jacket potato, tomato and pesto bake and homemade coleslaw.

More of yesterdays ham joint, homemade chips, peas and Waldorf salad.

Dieting this week, so I'll just read your meals and sigh...

I got to the Fishman's today so tonight will be baked rainbow trout with capers, potato scallops and avocado, tomato, onion and feta salad. Homemade tartare sauce.

^Do you ever use sugar substitutes? I never have but there seem to be so many these days. No idea where to start even if I wanted to.

So, diet going reasonably well but friend up the valley coming for a distanced lunch today (small portions, honest, of doro and misir wat) and he's dropping in to see friend who's celebrating his 50th. So if I can get around to it, due to make a loaf of walnut bread and some kind of cake. Plus a big lump of pork to cook for the freezer. Not going to be easy to resist eating more than I ought to.
