Cooking Tonight #5

[greenishfing]

Tonight will be pea, sweetcorn, and salmon risotto.

Mince pies with a splodge of brandy cream.

Glad you liked the brandy cream, Snoop. We first had it about 15 years ago and everybody decided that they preferred it to rum sauce. You can buy it ready made here, but why pay a lot more for something that takes less than 5 minutes to make and can be prepared in advance. I sometimes vary the spirit or liqueur.😋😋

That reminds me!…I should look out for that Calvados icecream !

Tonight we’ll be having roast chicken with chips- and our very last tin of mushy peas.
( I really must find a good recipe for this and then freeze it in batches)

[Snoop Puss]

Minestrone soup. (Need to get some veg down us - it's meatballs and rigatoni for lunch, with some fruit at least for afters.)

Tonight I'm thinking cottage pie with carrots, broccoli and gravy.

Mince pie with brandy cream.

Broccoli has now changed to cauliflower cheese.

Jacket potatoes with naked beans.

We bought fresh tuna at market so had it with beans and potatoes in a lemon sauce.

Baked Mackerel with potatoes, onions and broccoli.

Gf’s cottage pie has stuck in my mind since reading her post yesterday.
Fortunately I bought some mince yesterday so that’s what we’ll be having tonight!

[greenishfing]

Tonight I'm thinking either scampi, potato waffles and peas

Or

A trip to the fish and chip shop.

It’s Friday gf!….fish and chips for sure!!!
Don't know why but OH always says it’s Friday….curry night.
My thoughts return to childhood memories of fish on Friday ( hence fish n chips!)

[Snoop Puss]

Hake with green beans and carrots.

Nicos, we're having fish and chips. I remember Friday fish and chips from childhood. But... in my early twenties I often used to end up in one of the less salubrious, and cheap curry houses late on Friday night, (where the entertainment was usually provided by the local pimps and their "girls"), after having enjoyed a few drinks. So it was definitely curry night then.

Homemade soup tonight. Either tomato, or curried sweet potato with coconut milk. I actually think I fancy something a bit spicy. Bread and butter and a bowl of grated parmesan.

A treat for dessert: Strawberries and cream.

[Bren In Pots]

I’m making minestrone soup for lunch and the rest to freeze.

This evening our usual tagliatelle, Bol and garlic bread etc.
