Tonight I cooked...

Lamb koftas on the bbq .... rude not to in this weather

Last night I mostly cooked sea bass with lemon butter jus herbed with parsely, served on a bed of Jersey Royal new potatoes garnished with hand picked broccoli.

Before you get murdered by an Italian.

Tell me about cycling in Ghana. Been there a couple of times and enjoyed it. But not biking.

Back from an evening ride and the fridge is a bit bare. Famished.
Eggs, bacon, cheese, fresh bread, bits of pizza from lunch.
Freezer raid coming on. But did that last night. That cleared up the Chinese beef and 3 beans.
Might have to be macaroni cheese from the freezer.
Decisions, decisions.

A reprise of last night's cottage pie, but with steamed buttered leeks & savoy cabbage on the side.

Microwave poached eggs on toast.

Anyone got a good technique for doing microwave poached eggs?

Biking in Ghana? It's hot. It's okay and reasonably safe in Accra but outside might be a different matter.
If you want to come don't bring a bike, there are loads here and quite reasonable too.

The irony here (Especially if you ‘cook’ like me); is that by changing one topic-title letter - or even if you have slightly dodgy sight or perhaps tired eyes: the title now reads:

“Tonight I choked”……

Thank you.

Literally just finished....a toasted bacon sandwich, unusually with streaky bacon.
Always brough back bacon for years but its full of water and tbh, you miss the crispness of the fat, thats what really makes a bacon sarnie.

Homemade chicken Madras. Yum.

Yes, take them out of the microwave and put them in deep water just off the boil with a smidge of white vinegar

 

[Reynard]

Curry powder or paste?

Paste here, for a Madras: onion, ginger, chilli, coriander seed, turmeric and black pepper.

Tonight was another "use up what's left in the fridge" job before making a start on the fresh stuff I bought over the weekend. Picked up some really nice bits on yellow sticker, so watch this space...

Anyways, had spaghetti in a tomato and walnut & basil pesto sauce (both the sauce and pesto home made), plus steamed & buttered savoy cabbage and lashings of Grana Padano on top.
