Cooking Tonight #5

[Florence Fennel]

Ok, you've all convinced me that it's not boring! It was tasty

[Bren In Pots]

How about if you called it Italian cottage pie, GF?

Youngest grandson wouldn't eat cottage/shepherds pie when he was little but he loved burger meat and mash.

I guess that makes sense. I mean, if there's chicken in chicken pie, you wouldn't want to eat a cottage or shepherd in a pie?

Like you say Snoop we put it down to the name, our daughter would buy mince from the butcher making a cottage pie plus some burgers for the freezer at the same time.

We are no longer having salmon risotto as when we drove past our favourite fish and chip shop at lunchtime Mr GF suddenly decided that he wanted fish and chips this evening. I'll go fetch them in about half an hour. The salmon can go in the freezer.

Chicken curry tonight.

The fish and chip shop, which is tiny, was really busy when I went at about 5pm yesterday. Queueing around the shop, and a car park full of people sitting in their cars eating. We only live a 5 minutes drive away. They were really, really good. We couldn't quite finish one portion between us though. The last bit of fish got fed to one of the local stray/feral cats which sometimes camps outside my front door, but runs away if I appear.

Tonight I'm going to roast a chicken. I think we'll have it with roast parsnips, mashed potato, french beans, carrots and gravy.

For pudding, the mince pies we didn't have room for yesterday.

Spiced cauliflower soup, toasted cheese and chutney sandwiches.

Edited to add: That feral cat will be stopping to stay, GF. What a treat that must have been.

Not at all sure at the moment, but I do have some defrosted turkey breast…

wow gf…that chippy sounds amazing! ( *wonders if we will ever pass by that way when we’re in the uk!….almost worth the detour!
