Tonight I cooked...

[HLaB]

A fairly simple meal for me tonight: Oven Vegan Kiev, Oven Chips (the type with skin) and frozen mushrooms, peppers, and diced onions in the microwave.

Like your kitchen .

Does MiL have a phone number for veg orders? ❓☺️

Ha, sadly all spare produce is already accounted for.

I didn't do much cooking - heated up two pies for myself and the wife, and a pasta meal for the daughter.
I did make my own mashed potato as mine is much better, much cheaper and much lower in salt than the pre-made stuff.

I do the same with new potatoes - can't bear those dismal microwave packets. Just chuck the new potatoes in a pan - chop in half if a bit big, boil em up, drain - chuck in some mixed herbs, chopped fresh basil and oregano if i have it, otherwise the dried stuff, a good knob of butter and one turn of table salt from the grinder. Lid on the pan. Agitate the spuds for 30 seconds. Pour onto plates. Lovely - potatoes are nicely coated in herbs and butter.

Going to do something easy tonight. It will probably involve tomatoes.

Delightful lamb cutlets

Ended up being avocado, roasted baby plum tomatoes and fried egg on toast. Simple, but soooooooo good

Mushroom & parsley risotto.

Carbonara, from scratch.
Cheated with pre made spaghetti.
Panic to find the garlic was all gone.
Rush to local "open all hours" saved the day

Ummm, I don't think you're supposed to put garlic in a carbonara... Just egg (yolk), pancetta / guanciale, pepper and pecorino / parmesan. Plus your pasta and some pasta water.

Well I generally don't do what I'm supposed to do.
My uncle Aldo taught me.

Salmon-in-a-parcel with lemon & dill, new potatoes and steamed, buttered savoy cabbage. Simple, but ever so lovely.

Tonight's tea is steak and chips, fruef onion and tomato.
The steaks were Aberdeen Angus grass fed from Asdas yellow sticker fridge...basically £8 odd for two reasonable sized steaks, really quite good considering the price of meat ATM
