Cooking tonight (Mk4)

[Mr Bones]

Lunchtime lotty snack of oak smoked bacon, mushrooms and lettuce on ciabatta rolls (with brown sauce) - tonight fillet steak, boiled spuds, mushrooms peas and beetroot.

[Bren In Pots]

Spam, egg and chips.

[Snoop Puss]

For us tonight, fish plus salad.

Also, it's a big weekend coming up: our favourite village festivities involving outdoor picnics, greasy pole, tug of war and skipping. The skipping is especially popular and can go on for hours, with everybody apart from the very elderly and very young joining in. Seeing five strapping farming lads in their twenties all skipping together with the rope being turned by two of their mates isn't something I've seen before coming here.

So, that means bun and bread doughs to be made for baking tomorrow.

Tonight an attempt at a keema curry with rice, Maddhur Jaffrey recipe

[greenishfing]

I can't say that either of us were really taken with the keema curry yesterday. It was okay is the best I can say and is not getting added to our "favourites".

Tonight, I think prawn and asparagus risotto.

[Bren In Pots]

Our usual Saturday tagliatelle and bol.

[Snoop Puss]

Late lunch picnic: chicken pieces cooked in a sweet and spicy sauce, Middle Eastern style, sheep's milk cheese, salads (mixed, butterbean with red pepper and onions, grated carrot), courgette fritters plus bread, cherries and mini rondos for pud.
