What did you have tonight

[yalimart]

Slow cooked chicken and chickpea casserole with a dash of tabasco served with a baked potato, perfect for a football night, got an Aldi Click and Collect on Friday, tempted to add a couple of bags of the Argentinian Shrimp on.

I tried some off the ready shelled Argentinian shrimp, no where near as good as the ones in the shells. Not as big & didn't have such a good flavour.

Today my husband asked if we had any chicken that we could have for tea, I checked the freezer & couldn't find any, so it was lots of stir fried veg with a katsu sauce topped with a piece of cod ( we are trying to diet, as we put on weight over Christmas)

We're off to Aldi this morning, hoping that there are plenty of those pink in shell prawns left ! Streaky bacon, eggs and oven chips.

Bought two packets of frozen pink shelled prawns for Aldi. Made a pork sweet n sour dish from scratch with all the right ingredients, including fresh pineapple. Very disappointing - can't win 'em all !!

 

[yalimart]

Lanarkshire Hot Pot with baby beets, tried a couple of fizzypisspop beers the Singha was just ok, the staropramen or whatever it was called might well have been carling, fosters or cheapo tinny stuff, no body or depth to it.

I made Jamie Oliver's Veggie Bolognese Pasta Bake from one of the Tesco magazines. It was very bland & boring and took nearly 2 hours to make.

Spaghetti Bolognaise with Parmesan shavings. Good.

Waitrose Pizza Express Carbonara , topping was very sparse , very sparing , not a good advert for Pizza Express , i would not go to one if that is the poor standard they attain .

Had a busy day with our 70 mile round trip to Costco for toilet rolls and Branston baked beans plus a few other things. Then back to finish building the vegetable crates for the garden. Anyway as the day came to an end linsey said "I can't be arsed cooking tonight" which is Stockport speak for I can't be arsed cooking tonight, so we put some duck straws, prawns on toast and some oven chips in, perfect end to a decent day served with a bottle of Squealing Pig Sauvingion Blanc

I also managed to knock a bucket over that had 6 eggs in from the farm next door, 2 survived !

Cassoulet. Belly Pork, leeks, garlic, mushrooms, cider, sage and a dollop of apricot jam. Served with carrots and small boiled potatoes, Excellent. Good old slow cooker.

 

[VILLASUNDAY]

We went for a long walk & were starving when we got in, so I cooked the quickest thing that I had in fridge. Fresh Pumpkin & pinenut ravioli, which was ready to eat in less than 10 minutes followed by a tin of gooseberries with a dollop of ice cream.

I must buy tinned gooseberries more often

Bill and I made some Piccalilli. He does the weighing and measuring. I do the chopping etc. Pork sausages made into meat balls with plenty of added sage. Cooked in the left over gravy from the cassoulet plus some mushrooms, white kidney beans and a tin of cherry tomatoes. Very good.
