Bought a large joint of rib roast for yesterday. There was loads and loads left so have made a cottage pie for this evening. Not sure what to do with the rest. Not quite the weather for a cold plate.

Rissoles?

It freezes really well - and then you can have an easy roast dinner another time. Just pop it in a dish, sprinkle with water and cover with foil. Heat at about 160-170C for 30 minutes

Tried to come up with a vegetarian version of saltimbocca - I got the sauce spot on, but the flat mushrooms with sage and sundried tomatoes needs more seasoning next time.

House is filled with the cold virus. Lots of sniffling, sneezing and generally feeling sorry with yourself. I'm soldiering on though because I'm battling the cold since last week and my only complaint now is lack of sleep. That said, I sorted out the ladies in my life, but now it's time for ME!

Sirloin steak, pan fried to medium rare, with an onion/mushroom sauce and by jaysus, some Chips!

Happy out! Oiche Mhaith!

Last night was chicken Madras with rice and chips (Indian restaurant- free! Perks of working there) really good, just spicy enough!

Tonight my boyfriend took me for a belated valentines dinner since I was working last night. The dinner was at a french restaurant I'd never been to... 3 course. Cauliflower soup for starters, so tasty, for mains had a haddock special with pea and mint puree, beans, chorizo all carefully decorated around the plate with the haddock as a little flower! and dessert a huge brownie with cinnamon and salted caramel ice cream...so good!

Feasted on home made sweet potato chips with baked beans...

I've exhausted my spice collection this evening, so need to stock up again.

Simple one tonight that I enjoy making. Goes down real easy. Chicken Tikka Masala with Basmati Rice and Naan. And for the first time I'm actually attaching a photo!:D

Looks amazing. Have you the naan recipe? I have been making the flatbread recipe from the cooking club for ages now. Would love to try a naan for a change.

I'm so sorry, but the only part of that meal that I made from scratch was the Masala. The Naan was pre bought in Supervalu.

I've repeatedly failed with naan. With and without yoghurt/yeast/baking powder. In/out of the breadmaker.

Just saw this, though: not at all naan, but might work in its place?

We had fajitas, filled with stir-fried veg (leek, onions, peppers, mushrooms, sweetcorn) and kidney beans in a spicy sauce. Happy food.

Variation on the day before; mixed ordinary potato and sweet potato chips ( home made ) and a fried egg. Followed much later by freshly made mixed berry steamed sponge pudding with custard.

I made general tso (fu). Was delicious! I used to get this dish delivered in dublin but the people who did it moved to Barcelona. Not to leave their fans in the dust they started making videos of how to make their food.

I'm at the pies this evening again. (Steak, veg and gravy) made with homemade - skin still on chunky chips.

Fish fingers for the little person who "I don't like pies I keep telling you".

I got home early yesterday, so I made us Jamie Oliver's lentil chili, with rice, sour cream, grated cheese and nachos.
I had already halved all the ingredients given, we both stuffed ourselves to the max, and there's still enough left over for one lunch and filling 2 baked potatoes. It's a bloody generous recipe.

Did this myself well more or less - I used shallots (which were eye watering as I cut them up!) and sliced in some potatoes that needed using. Rather hot stuff.

New Indian opened near me, so had takeaway this evening (dining alone)

Mixed vegetable platter for start, consisted of veg samosa, alloo chop and onion bhajis, the samosas were unusual as in they were not the traditional triangle shaped, more square, almost like a Chinese dumpling, and they were filled with spinach, goats cheese, nuts and raisins (they were delicious actually)

Main course was lamb Madras, pilau rice and a naan bread. After subly informing them that I "eat Indian once a week" (I don't) on the phone when ordering, the guy took the bait and told me he'd throw in a naan FOC (he also threw in 2 x kingfisher beers) the naan was the sweet variety, with coconut and almonds stuffed into it.

The Madras was spot on, big cubes of lamb, cooked to perfection that melted in the mouth, and its sauce had a very decent kick to it.

They also threw in poppadoms, and a variety of pickles and dipping sauces and salad.

I try and eat healthy for the most part, tonight was a nice change. Really enjoyed it

The Hill Billy

Lemon & chilli ramen noodles on Friday.
Whole roast duck, shredded with sticky rice & warm salad of pok choi, cucumber & sugarsnaps with chilli & pickled ginger ponzu on Saturday.
Tonight was slow roast beef, roast spuds, peas & cauliflower cheese.

I made hotpot Saturday night - lot of lovely vegetables and some seitan strips in a lovely warm, rich red wine gravy, covered with potato slices :



And yesterday, we had butternut squash and red pepper soup. With a little chili for kick and a teaspoon of curry powder for a nice hum.
