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.

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.

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

As the GLW is away for a week or so seeing her mum, I'm fending for myself and tending our cats.
Looking in the 'fridge, on Thursday I shall spend some time creating something from mackerel, avocados, onions, carrots, fresh spinach with cheese, coleslaw & humous available to liven things up - !
