Bottle of Alsace Riesling.

Last night was chorizo & chickpea stew served on toasted, garlic-rubbed ciabatta, which I ate very little of because I've been feeling rather Moby Dick since Thursday.

Tonight, I'm going for pure stodge in the form of chipper chips, in an attempt to settle my dodgy tum. I find carbs are always great if I'm feeling a bit nauseous.

Yesterday we met friends in town for Yum Char and I ate a ludicrous amount of food - including 4 spring rolls and 3 coconut buns.

For dinner (which we had very late after the yum char) I made a beef and guinness stew with mashed potato and vegetables. Lovely, wintery, comforting food.

Jerk chicken with jollof rice and a green salad.

I had homemade fresh cod and chips and really enjoyed it.

Last night started with
a homemade Margharita pizza, shared over Sparkilng wine with elderflower cordial followed by

slow cooked duck legs, crisped up in hot oven with rhubarb and ginger jam, soy, dry sherry, garlic and star anise, sprinkled with spring onion and coriander, served with choi sam greens and Japanese rice.

Gooseberry (and yet again rhubarb and ginger jam) crumble

Aussie Pinot.

I almost never do three courses!! (the Mrs did the crumble) Stuffed!!

Bloody chipper was closed when Mr. Honeyec went down! At 9pm!!! One was not amused. Ended up just throwing wedges and chicken nuggets in the oven.

Tonight we're having chicken breasts stuffed with feta & basil, baked in a tomato, pepper & onion sauce, into which I'll stir a big dollop of ricotta towards the end.

Aldi have FAB par-baked Tuscan sourdough loaves at the mo, so we'll have one of these with the chicken & sauce. Yum!

Had 10 people round for lunch yester . Made a roast So...roast beef, stuffing (my own sage, thyme and rosemary - have a bumper crop this year if anyone wants to help themselves - based in D9), parsnip and carrot crush, cauliflower cheese, mash, roasties and homemade gravy.

HAd 2 vegetarians so made a tomato tatin - it looked amazing. Its my pull out of the hat dish for visiting veggies.

Dessert was steamed apple and blackberry puddin with custard and vanilla i/c.

Nobody moved for about an hour. I wont be eating till Wednesday.

Was in Navan yesterday so stopped at a little italian at the top of Flower Hill called Piccolla Roma . Myself and the OH had Bruchetta & Croisni topped with mushrooms for starters, carbonara and Rigatoni alla Romano for mains and 2 glasses - absolutely lovely!!
Tonight - Beef Stirfry with noodles

Freelancebeauty

last night was makky d's and coffee (was driving). But ate out for lunch and that was lovely - ceaser salad to start, turkey, ham and stuffing with all the trimmings followed by banoffie. Was perfect for a Sunday.

Tonight is undecided so am going to read all of your posts

Last night was roast beef (seasoned the daylights out of it) due to the rain! New season spuds were boiled and I fried up some mushrooms in lemon and butter. All in all quite nice and washed down with a fair whack of Oz Shirz/Cab Sav

didnt get having my stir fry as planned last night due to an unexpected trip to the pub.... eateries consisted of chips and chicken gougons when we got home.

Hopefully have the stir fry tonight!!

Indian takeaway last night (chicken jalfrezi and lamb byriani with raita and naan between two of us).

Tonight for starters I'm doing goats cheese and beetroot salad as I got some lovely fresh beetroot at a market, will serve with toasted walnuts. Mains is roast rib of beef with roast potatoes, carrots, mushy peas and beetroot leaves sweated with some butter and nutmeg (apparently they taste like spinach leaves - will soon find out).

For dessert I made orange catalonian creme brulee.

Buritto? Pie?

I just google imaged...wow! That looks delicious! A nice change from lasagne.

Last night was coffee and biscotti in the city center (Dublin), then an Innocent smoothie - apple & kiwi & something else I cant rem. Was delicious. Gonna take it easy on the dinners for a while. Salad city for a few days.

I've just had Erin Mushroom Risotto from Supervalue at €1.75.
It was really quite delicious, with Parmesan on top.
I don't feel like cooking in warm weather!:D

Super Qs roasted chilli and lime chicken breasts with the mans rissotto! Tasty good....

I made burgers today; mince, chopped red onion, red chili, chili powder, soy sauce, pepper, a little wheat germ and an egg. They turned out awesome! I only ended up with six though which isn't much for a kilo of mince....

Can I have your recipe please?

Minder

Haven't got a recipe as such - I add a collection of ingredients to the wok depending on whats in the fridge. Last nights effort was...

1 Packet of glass noodles
Four boneless chicken thighs cut into thin strips
Two carrots cut into batons
Four spring onions shredded
A thumb sized piece of ginger cut into batons
A couple of cloves of garlic
A packet of bean shoots
About 100g shiitake mushrooms sliced
About 200g of prawns
Two tablespoons of curry powder - I use a carribbean curry powder as it's high in tumeric and gives a bright yellow colour.

I use glass noodles - made from mung bean starch. They come dried and are soaked in boiling water for a couple of minutes. Once soft enough to eat, I refresh in cold water. I found that just draining the noodles before adding to the wok leaves them too wet - as the water turns to steam, they stick together. So I dry them on a clean tea towel. Last night for the first time, I also nuked them for 3 minutes before adding them to the wok.

Fry the chicken in a wok, add the garlic and ginger for a minute or two before adding the other veg (except the bean shoots). Cook for a few minutes then add the curry powder and the prawns. I add a splash of light soy here to wet it a little.

Once the meat & veg is cooked I scald the beanshoots and add them with the glass noodles. Mix the whole lot through to coat the noodles with the curry flavours. That's it. A squeeze of lime and a handful of fresh coriander and serve.

Last night was roast chicken, stuffed, with mashed potato and roasted carrot, parsnip and squash, with a side of corn and marrowfat peas. Chicken worked out well, which is nice considering it's taking me a while to get the hang of my oven with roasts.

Roast fillet of beef, braised cabbage, pan fried mushrooms, horseradish mash, all with a beef stock and red wine jus. John Campbells recipe from Saturday Kitchen - a winner every time.

The Sweeper

I bought a double rib of beef on the bone the other day. Going to roast it this week. Will be hit or miss with my oven. Next house, going for 1000mm cook top and dual ovens instead of range cooker.
