Meatballs in tomato sauce served with stir-fried green beans, broccoli & spinach. May have had a G&T also.

Got fresh squid earlier (hate taking their damn heads off, that schluuuuuck suck sound is bleugh)

Stir fry of onions and mushrooms with soy/sesame noodles. Then flash fried the squid with some garlic and chili and tossed it through, drizzle of sweet chili sauce. Served with some grilled courgettes as I am addicted to them.

I had a take away chicken shish kebab this evening and it was delicious. I feel dirty, but it was delicious.

It was homemade pizza for dinner last night with chorizo, streaky bacon & black olives. The crust was stuffed with mozzarella and brushed with garlic oil. however, it defeated me and I had to fridge a few slices!

Rice, cauliflower roasted with Indian spices, and crispy chicken thighs. I love crispy chicken skin like nothing else on earth

Tonight's dinner was pretty simple; cooked chicken, jacket potatoes (rubbed in oil and baked for about 1.5 hours), and green salad with lettuce, peppers, tomatoes and scallions.

I made the simplest salad dressing ever; three tablespoons EVO, one tablespoon Balsamic vinegar, a teaspoon of French mustard and a pinch of salt. Nom.

Long time lurker (and drooler!) - but I just had to say this looks amazing! I've tried to do the mozzerella in the crust before and it just didn't work - most leaked out and under the base and over the edge - the rest just didn't really melt. Have tried it with solid chunks, slices and grated - could you pretty please share how you got this to work!!

I'm curious to know why, if you're going to have the oven on for 1 and a half hours to bake the potatoes you chose to go with a cooked chicken rather than a raw one. Just curious.

Last night we had floured and pan fried whiting fillets, sautéed leeks, grilled plum tomatoes with garlic and potato/Jerusalem artichoke/garlic mash. Squeeze of lemon too, of course.

Ask my mother, she bought it :P

It was just an easy dinner that everyone will eat.

Lazy dinner today!

BLT made with beef tomatoes, gem lettuce, a bacon weave and sun dried tomato mayo (blitzed sun dried tomatoes into a paste and mixed it with mayo)

Then home made sweet potato fries with paprika, salt and ground black pepper.

Hungover today.
Couldn't eat breakfast or lunch but come 4pm I was ravenous.
Headed to Bombay Pantry for Chicken Karahi, naan bread and basmati rice.
I was so hungry I couldn't even be bothered to find my camera.

I enjoyed every mouthful. There's a batata vada leftover that I might eat now. I have a Bombay addiction.

Homemade pizza. Baked on the floor of my parent's aga.
3 goes, and all devoured before I could get a pic.
Yeast base. Tomato sauce with sundried tomatoes, passata, chilli, anchovies, onions, garlic, thyme and a pinch of sugar - liquidised to a mush as that's the way we roll here. Topped with olives, chorizo, cheddar and mozarella mix.

Washed down with a red wine that we loved, but weren't sure what grape a carignan was; but it was from winesdirect so it was good as always! http://winesdirect.ie/chateau-de-vaugelas-corbieres-french-red.html

Omg Miss F, I took one look at that, immediately assumed you'd killed some turtles and cooked them and was going to call the Turtle Helpline! :pac:

They look far too real!

Jamie Oliver's satay skewers & noodle salad. It was really very good, if entirely too hot for my co dinner eater. It's the first time I've made noodles where they weren't bland as bejaysus. Really enjoyed this and happy as can be to have extra satay sauce left over

Had Mexican evening last night so beef tacos filled with meat, grated cheese, salsa, jalapeños, tomatoes and slathered with my homemade guacamole.

A cheeky Chinese from the ever-dependable Sunshine Palace in Tralee - crispy chili chicken with boiled rice. God it was good, a real treat.

I'm not sure if this post should go in to the breakfast, lunch or dinner thread...

I had prepared the basics of a spicy pork & noodle soup for dinner last night. I then went out for an early evening beer, expecting to be home by 7:30 or so. I bumped into some Russian pals & my plans went to pot. It is now 2:20 on Sunday afternoon (ie, lunchtime) & I am having a reheated kebab purchased at some ungodly hour for breakfast.

Am fairly incapacitated, but at least dinner is already made for later.

the beer revolu

Rare striploin, red cargo rice, slow grilled tomatoes with garlic, wilted spinach with nutmeg and lemon.

hardCopy

Slow roasted jumbo chicken.

My first attempt at cooking a chicken.

Worked out great and I had vegetable soup today made with last nights chicken stock.

My first time making a Sunday roast - pot roast beef, mash, homemade yorkie puddings and garden peas. It turned out super tasty, well pleased!

the beer revolu

Simple roast today.
Free range pork belly, roast garlic, baked golden wonders, tenderstem broccoli, mustard gravy. I feel the need to confess that just Mrs Beer and myself scoffed all the crackling while the meat was resting. Considering our sweetbreads lunch - a lot of rich food today:eek:

StripedBoxers

Tonight we had roast pork belly, tenderstem broccoli wrapped in smoked streaky bacon, spinach, potatoes and creamy, mushroom sauce.

For the pork belly, I made a marinade of olive oil, salt, pepper, parsley, rosemary, thyme and several crushed garlic cloves. I then brushed some of the marinade on cling film and brush more over the meat and then place the meat on the brushed cling film and poured over the remaining marinade. I wrapped the meat tightly and left it in the fridge over night marinading. Nicest way I have ever done pork belly.

Was way too sunny for it but we had friends over from Switzerland with a fresh stash of raclette and continental style bacon (the really thin stuff) so we had raclette. And lots of white wine.

No photos because of the thing where people who don't see you that often think you're insane when you take photos of your plate.

Now I'm sitting on the couch eating a whole pack of Sbrinz (which is similar to parmesan) curls that I'm sure they meant to be shared out but I have annexed for myself
