Last night I had deboned chicken thighs on the bbq with E&C chicken wing sauce as a marinade and basting sauce. (Thanks to :http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055944043)
Had it with baked potatoes and home grown salad.

I made stuffed Portobello mushrooms.. Stuffed them with cherry tomatoes, red onion, garlic, chopped ham, creamed cheese and topped them with grated red cheddar.. They were gorgeous, really big and filling.. Bit of garlic bread on the side.. Yum

Saw it on Come Dine with Me

Today it was Fish Pie, salmon, cod, smoked haddock and peas, got the fish in Tesco for €2, nice one!

Dessert is a new cupcake recipe I'm trying out, with strawberries and cream on top.

The Lovely Muffin

I just had a rather delicious crab and avocado salad. It was a lot more filling that I'd expected!

tomaschonnie

beef stir fry with lemongrass and walnuts. had rice vermicelli with it.

Wednesday - roast whole grouper with shallot, garlic, ginger and lime juice. Served with jasmine rice and asparagus. Excited about the fish, I was disappointed (slightly) with the end result. It cooked nicely, presented nicely, tasted pretty good - just something lacking....

Tonight was a bad traffic and no kitchen time. So Sourdough, cheeses, a few cherry tomatoes and some red wine.

fried eggs and homemade chips

The Lovely Muffin

Lasagne and Chips. Mmmm!

Edgedinblue

had beef chilli yesterday, sushi today

Minder

Made a batch of marinade for satay - shallots, ginger, galangal, fennel & coriander seeds, tumeric, lemongrass, garlic, palm sugar, salt. Added chicken to half of it and prawns to the rest. After an hour in the marinade, I grilled the skewers on the BBQ.

Elbow

Made a thai curry, turned out ok something lacking dough

Desert was a huge success though - Chocolate and olive oil mousse

The Lovely Muffin

Pizza for us tonight.

Penne chicken arrabiata

I had a dinner party yesterday made crispy bacon and mushroom sauce vol-au-vents for starters, Breaded chicken breasts stuffed with feta cheese, Spinach and sundried tomatoes served with a mixture of roasted herb vegetables and baby potatoes. also made a red wine jus! for the main course and has triple layered chocolate mousse with fresh cream for dessert! it was all a big hit!!

Snackie

Nettle Cream Soup for tonight

The Sweeper

Roasted a whole snapper in a sauce similar to the fish stew recipe from Minder on post #3521 (aside: that's a lot of dinners we had last night).

I bought the fish at the Victoria Market in Melbourne. I've had mixed experiences at the vic market previously - felt ripped off a couple of times, bought less than marvellous produce a couple of times. However on Saturday morning I was in the market at 8.15am and discovered there is a marked difference between the stallholders' attitude to 'proper' market shoppers (morning) compared to 'fairweather' market shoppers (post-1pm).

I walked out with a gorgeously fresh red snapper, an inch-thick sashimi grade tuna steak, and 18" of beautiful, thick pork belly that I had cut into two pieces, along with 2kgs of dried beans, all for about the equivalent of 35 euros - a price I'm happy with compared to what the equivalent would cost me in the supermarkets here.

I lived there for 3 years, and went there every Sat morning.... I love it.

Had chicken and chorizo rice bake last night, courtesy of the cooking club.... it was yummm. Am on a diet so had no dessert, but had made peanut butter chocolate biscuits for OH so he was happy.

Had a glass of sparkling wine to go with it.

The Lovely Muffin

Potatoes, Carrots, Bacon and gravy for us.

Surprisingly the Bacon was lovely and I normally can't stand home-cooked bacon.

Chocolate Muffin for dessert.:D

The Sweeper

Slow roast belly pork with christianos y moros (cuban dish of beans and rice, but made more like a vegetable stew). Used dried black beans - lots of flavour.

bills

Lemon sole with baby potatoes & garlic & herbs

The Hill Billy

Wednesday - Tea & diverse sandwiches on The Pavillion while watching HB Jr I at cricket practice.
Thursday - Lamb chops & homemade chips.
Friday - Burgers & Mrs Billy's salad.
Saturday - BBQ at a neighbour’s house. Steaks, burgers, chicken kebabs & a wonderful selection of salads. Cakes to die for from another neighbour. The host's homemade JD BBQ sauce was super too. (Must ask for the recipe.)
Sunday - Gazpacho & a selection of tapas (mushrooms in port, green beans in garlic, tuna fillet in filo, chorizo & spicy (but overcooked) chicken drumsticks).
