Tonight will be (I think) pigs liver braised with bacon and onions. Served with mash and some green leaf vegetable (cabbage, sprouts, kale or?)

Belatucadrus Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Pulled lamb, cauliflower cheese, and starch, probably roasties. Not roasties, we cleared out the fridge of leftovers and topped up with potato croquettes, the vegies were nice the Pulled Lamb only acceptable. We like Pulled Pork & Pulled Beef, the sticky sauce on the lamb was too sweet, not going to be a repeat purchase I fear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice. I like the bitterness of chicory, provided it's not too strong. Blanching helps to remove excess bitterness (cover with boiling water for a couple of minutes then quench in cold water). Today we're having pizza. some dough was extracted from the bread machine before it began to cook. This (obviously) makes the base. The topping is tomato - my recipe simple tomato sauce cooked for a bit longer than normal to thicken it a bit then thin sliced Italian salami, thin sliced red and yellow sweet peppers, thin sliced fresh chilli, anchovies and finally Monterey Jack cheese. Using the Monterey Jack as were given it as part of a gift from friends who had visited the USA. It's pretty much inedible to eat as it is so the next best thing is to cook it on a pizza.

Belatucadrus Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 We also are going out, this time to The Plough a local carvery, best in the area by far and mum gets an OAP discount so excellent value. That was a very nice bit of beef and as usual they were so generous with it that mum took a poly bag with her and bought home enough for a couple of sandwiches. I on the other hand cleaned the plate. Mum just checked the receipt " 2 OAP discount carveries " How very dare they, I'm not an OAP, indeed I'm so angry I've decided not to tell them. That'll teach them, giving a tightwad like me a discount I never asked for ! I may let them keep doing it Oh well if they're giving me a discount, least I can do is drop a link to their establishment in the post.

-pops- Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 Beef curry tonight. Afraid I'm using curry sauce from a jar (Pataks) as we're a bit stuck for time with visiting friends later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Posted December 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 At the risk of seeming repetitive: Beautiful cod and haddock fish from our regular local fish merchant; Chunky Actifry chips and Mushy peas; all garnished with lemon and an option of various sauces.

Belatucadrus Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 M&S Tuscan sausage penne with side salad and some skinny fries. Slight amendment saw some ridge cut salt and pepper chips in Tesco, tried them instead quite nice. Yesterday was smoked haddock in a cheese and mustard sauce with chunky chips and green beans, OK but the smoke on the fish was a bit heavy handed, made it seem salty.

AlanHo Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 We had a cordon bleu dinner tonight. Free range halal pork and red onion freshly killed and bled sausages with gently and tastefully crushed king Edward's steamed spuds and a medley of winter organic steamed vegetables with Tesco's finest onion gravy containing lashings of flavour enhancers and preservatives. This was washed down with a bottle of Pilastro Primitivo full bodied 14.5% deep red wine served at room temperature in Stuart crystal wine glasses. We know how to live high on the hog in our house. It humbles me to think that not everyone can afford such posh food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Mixed grill today. More like an English breakfast really - bacon, eggs, sausage, tomatoes (tinned), rosti and black pudding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Jacket potato with tuna and walnuts. The tuna and walnut mix is merely a tin of tuna (bits, no need for steaks), about 100g chopped walnuts and a good dollop of mayonnaise all seasoned with salt, pepper and a bit of chilli.

Irene Posted December 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Monday night dinner menu: Chunky Actifry Chips; Meatloaf (made yesterday, using -pops- recipe); and Baked Beans. This is the first time of trying the meatloaf, so I intend to cut it into slices, then dip into egg-wash followed by plain flour. Next they will be pan-fried to reheat.

AlanHo Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 We had grilled herb sausage from our local butcher, accompanied by a (shared) tin of Napolina plum tomatoes accompanied by home made toasted garlic bread and a bottle of really pleasant Mud House New Zealand Malborough cabernet sauvignon. This was followed by a slice of Libby's rather delicious chocolate cake and a cup of Lavazza double espresso coffee with a splash of Baileys.
