Cooking Tonight #5

[greenishfing]

I've just taken a couple of salmon steaks out of the freezer. If I give Mr GF a choice on what to have with them, his answer will be put them in a risotto.

Therefore pea, PSB, sweetcorn and salmon risotto.

Eve's pudding I think ... maybe with a few blueberries (out of the freezer) thrown in.

gf…. not sure how similar your roly poly recipe is to this….but they say it’s great for freezing, once sliced…

Thanks. I'd never thought of freezing individual portions. It might not actually live up to my nostalgic memories.... ,but I think I'll give it a go one day this Winter.

Roast leg of lamb, mashed potatoes, roast potatoes and carrots, sprouts and Yorkshire pudding.

I could not decide this morning. In the end I gave Mr GF the decision: Either: lamb shanks, or a pie (probably chicken), or an omelette, or ribs, or corned beef hash, or sausage and mash or homemade soup.

He narrowed it down to sausage and mash or soup and then settled on tomato and basil soup. We'll have it with bread and butter and a bowl of parmesan.

For pudding I'm deciding between rice pudding and bread and butter pudding. I did see James Martin making jam roly poly on Saturday morning and that idea is also fermenting in my brain but I wouldn't know how to make a two person one.

Baked potatoes and salad. Mandarines for pud.

I’m starting dry January today too Snoop/ Mark

Today will be left over stew with gnocchi followed by stewed fruit and yogurt.

[Bren In Pots]

Veggie lasagne this evening.

^No need to worry, Mark. I'm starting dry January tomorrow, Kings Day (Epiphany), which is yet another big festive day here (more important than Christmas Day). Just keep it going an extra few days into February.

[Mark Rand]

Yesterday was a spag bol, which somewhat ruined Dry January. Chianti doesn't keep, does it? Today was supposed to be a jam jar chicken Korma.

I got a delayed message that the kids weren't coming because they were worried about the weather when I'd just finished browning the chicken. So I put half of that in the fridge and swapped the korma jam jar for a Madras one.

I agree with Snoop Puss. Definitely a bridge too far! Chocolate mixed with fresh fruit salad. 🤮 No way! Aaarrgghh!

[Florence Fennel]

We had a bacon and egg sandwich late morning, so it might be another grazing on rubbish evening! I have had a yoghurt

[Snoop Puss]

^Noooooo. That is one food experiment too far for me.
