Cooking Tonight #5

[greenishfing]

Tonight more of last night's roast chicken. I think we'll have it with garlic bread and salad.

We still haven't had the mince pies .... too full again last night......maybe tonight.

Something to do with turkey and sweet potato….maybe a bake? With a side salad.
Fresh fruit for pud

Pea risotto with courgette batons on top to make it look a bit more appetising!

Edited: Not the above, which will have to wait. Instead, the last of the cauliflower and pear soup followed by stuffed pasta, which needs eating.

Tortellini minestrone soup with sourdough.

We ended up having jacket sweet potato instead garlic bread with the chicken and salads last night. I then stripped the meat off the carcass and stuck the remnants in the slow cooker and now have lots of chicken stock.

I think I'll use some as the basis for a soup today. Probably tomato and basil soup. We'll have it with bread, butter and a dish of parmesan. We might even have room for mince pies.

Home made chicken pie with chips, peas and gravy.

Just been making salmon fish cakes - enough to freeze some too
So those with a side salad

[bramble]

Pork chops, mashed potatoes, a selection of veg and gravy.

[Florence Fennel]

Sticky pork ribs for Himself, probably salad wraps for me.

[greenishfing]

I'm thinking scampi, potato scallops or potato waffles, peas and sweetcorn and homemade tartare sauce.

Rice pudding.

We had kippers and bread cobs for lunch, then this evening we’re having soup with toasted cheese sandwiches.

Kippers?…oooo…I’m sure we have a couple of packs in the freezer from our last visit to the uk! ( one thing we are allowed to import!)

Kippers are allowed?!!!

We were just talking about kippers with M up the valley yesterday and he was talking about seeing if he could smuggle some frozen ones in his bag for us on his next visit.

Are you really sure? One of my favourite annual holiday walks was Craster to Dunstanburgh Castle and back again to the tearooms for kippers and brown bread and butter. My dad took a photo of the smokehouse just under sixty years ago: a huge stone-floored warehouse with filthy walls and ceiling and running wet cobbled floor, a bunch of old boys (to me at the time) standing around a huge wheel hanging from the ceiling in one corner with fish dangling from it, the rest of the vast room empty. Doubtless very different now given more modern health and safety concerns.

So sidetracked by the idea of kippers I forgot to say: spag bol, pear for pud.
