    I got gifted one when my mother got a foodie . Jesus it’s the absolute business


    rice is always perfect now , curries, stews, joints of ham, soup . I went from wondering if I ever would use it to being up there with a thermometer for items I wouldn’t be without in the kitchen ! Essential bit of kit for cooks!

    We took a trip to Ikea recently, so naturally I stocked up on meatballs and gravy 🤭 Had some of that tonight with mash and veg.

    We had a nice home made lasagna tonight. I made a few adjustments to lower the sat fat for the sake of my liver (half fat "butter", skim milk, reduced fat cheese etc) so was worried it would be sh1te, but it was still rich and gooey and got the thumbs up from the husband, too. :-)

    Nam ya curry. With chicken, but I must try the more traditional pounded fish the next time.

    I used a ready made curry sachet for this, but added garlic, ginger, dried chilli, salt, MSG and sugar.

    It's not Thai Red Curry, it's Nam Ya. Different flavour, less thick. It usually goes with fish. Very tasty. Just need to add coconut milk.

    I got that in Jia Jia, and the same Lobo brand sells a delicious satay mix too.

    We had an impromptu pub dinner. Burger for the other half, chicken curry for me, and chips and ice cream for the young fella. Very nice and a drink or two. :-)

    We had "white chilli" last night made in the slow cooker. Chicken breasts, chicken stock, chopped jalapenos, onions, green pepper, cannellini beans, sweetcorn, lime juice and herbs and spices. Once the chicken is cooked, shred and return to the pot. Stir in a little milk, cream cheese and grated cheddar. Served over rice with scallions, avocado, jalapenos and tortilla chips. Yum.

    We had chicken goujon "burgers" tonight in buns, and home made chips. I made a nice burger sauce with chopped onion, gherkins, mustard, mayo and ketchup. It was good, but I cooked the goujons too long and they were chewy. Rookie mistake.

    Cooking for one at the moment so mostly keeping things quick and simple.

    Last night was a lovely piece of sirloin done on the gas grill, charred tomatoes and fried up leftover mashed potatoes. Couldn't be bothered doing greens so I just ate a bit of cucumber, afterwards 🤣

    Bought the steak in Tesco. I've been saying it for a while now, but the quality of the premium beef in Tesco lately is really good. This was both beautifully tender and really flavoursome.

    God I'd love a good juicy piece of steak. We normally get steak in Tesco and find it good quality.

    I'm pregnant so apparently I'm not supposed to eat steak medium rare the way I like it 😒 I've had one piece well done, but it was so sad 🙈 It's top of my list of "things to eat" after the baby comes... some people are dying for a drink, I'm dying for a medium rare steak 😂

    We had spinach and ricotta cannelloni last night. A good hit of iron, but it's no steak 🙈

    Can anyone imagine pregnant French women eating well done steak?

    I've never heard of anyone getting sick from rare steak. I just don't understand that recommendation!

    I'm sure the advice is overkill. I actually had steak that was practically still mooing before I realised I was pregnant 🤤 I'm just playing it safe though based on the current medical advice.

    I totally understand following the advice, I just think it's ridiculous advice 🤔

    Lol I agree! The more general advice is not to eat undercooked meat. So obviously it would be dangerous (for anyone!) to eat say undercooked chicken. I think they're just lumping beef in there too to cover themselves. It's just much more risky if you get food poisoning when you're pregnant, so I'll be a good girl and play by their rules, even the ridiculously overcautious ones 🙈

    We ordered Indian food tonight. I usually go for something spicy with lamb, but for the first time in my life tried chicken tikka masala. It was delicious. There were poppadoms, there was naan, there were onion bhajis. It was good. :)
