Did you not put honey in the tzatziki sauce?

That looks good V.

I am making Spinach Potato and Rosemary griddle cakes for dinner with pasta and sauce - if I can manage to salvage the horror that was a new sauce recipe

bbro · 09-07-2012, 06:21 PM

Another new recipe - Chicken Cordon Bleu pasta

Russian fish pie. Preceded by a couple of shots of good vodka, Russian style ...

Making mackerel pâte this afternoon.
Hardly taxing, but making it with low-fat crème fraîche rather than cream.

The 'rents are doing an hour or so catsitting at my bro's, but Mum will be packing some up and taking it with her for supper. I get to snack on it alone in front of the TV. Yay me.

catsitting?

Sundae · 09-08-2012, 02:14 PM

SIL in America with her Mum, bro left at 08.00 for the Paralympics, won't be back until very late.
They didn't want Hoshi to be on her own for such a long time. She will go out of the catflap but not come back in.

I've already been booked to help apply flea treatment (the one that goes on the back of the neck) next Sunday, because E will still be away. Then Stevo is coming over here and I'm cooking up a faux-American feast for us and Dad. Mum's dog-sitting for a friend (proper house-sitting, overnights and everything). So far I have ribs. Looking for some chicken palatable for our disparate tastes.

And mashipots. And another side I also haven't worked out yet.

Homemade burgers, homemade chips and Heinz baked beans.

bbro · 09-12-2012, 08:50 PM

Pizza bread! WOOT!

Dinners this past week down here in Oz have been pretty good considering our flat only had a small set of stainless steel pots and pans and not much more. We have a Coles supermarket about a block away so I drop in and check what is fresh or on special. Roasted a chicken the other night which then became a meat pie last night. Fresh monkfish tonight from a local fish monger and maybe some kangaroo mid week. And everything is washed down with plenty of wine... LOTS OF WINE! It's good and about the cheapest thing I've found to consume.

Aliantha · 09-16-2012, 10:51 PM

Don't over cook your roo if you get it. It's very gamey. Like venison, so if you've cooked that before, treat it very much the same.

Wine is good. Very good. I'm looking forward to a glass or two very soon. hehe

Last night had ribs, chicken, garlic bread, potato wedges, onion rings and peas.
I wanted corn on the cob, but Dad wasn't keen and Stevo doesn't eat either peas or corn.

Ribs were over-cooked, wedges were too large so we only ate the small crispy ones and there is a shedload of chocken left. But it was £4.00 for a whole one or £4.00 for a couple of thighs so the choice was obvious... Dad says he is happy to have leftovers. And the cats are too.

The 'larky bread was teh yum. Tiny little rolls stuffed with garlic butter.
Will recommend them to Mum for 2 October when the girls come round.

Ahhh, British chips.... I remember shopping at the Tesco in Pembroke Dock when we were in Wales and noticing that one entire aisle in the freezer section was devoted to frozen chips of every type. And in the fresh produce section there were 20 or so different ones.
