The 'Here's what I had for dinner last night' thread - Part II - Don't quote pics!

Folks: We've cooked up a whopping 10,000 posts in The 'Here's what I had for dinner last night' thread - Part I! Unfortunately, the hamsters have issues when a thread gets that big. So, let's get cooking in Part II... (The usual T&Cs apply - no blog pimping or pic quoting.)

We had a feast of a margarita pizza, a greek pizza, sweet potato wedges, courgette tomato bake, corn on the cob and sweet chilli mayo. Followed by banana and peanut icecream.

I now have a chocolate mousse calling me from the fridge.

Pork chops, boiled potatoes, spinach and a big dollop of dijon. And a dog nearly nose to nose with me, crying, because he's working on a new up close and annoying approach for making human food his food. He's so deprived.

Lazy evening here. Waygu beef burger, sweet potatoe fries and braised gem lettuce. I would probably do some kind of flavoured butter next time as it was a slightly dry dinner.

where did you get Waygu?! That's quite posh for a Tuesday night?

Chicken breast, chopped potatoes and mixed peppers slung in an Aldi "Mediterranean Chicken" shake & bake bag and cooked in the oven for 40 minutes. Bootiful!

Ham & cheese fritatta, spinach with feta and walnuts, toast. Spinach was disastrous, gritty even though rinced and I think my feta was gone cos it tasted fermented so that went into the bin.

The neighbours upstairs cooked haggis, neeps and tatties for us, with cherry pie and cream for dessert. Amazing comfort food.

Homemade pizza, pepperoni, mushroom, goats cheese, yum. I used the bag of shredded mozarella instead of the ball, won't make that mistake again!

The husband made aubergine parmagiana with spaghetti, and garlic bread. It looks ugly on the plate, but it tasted amaaaaazing.

Last night we had a Japanese themed dinner.
Miso soup with wakame and leeks to start (no pic)
Fried flat iron steaks with teriyaki sauce (my interpretation), miso glazed aubergine, wilted spinach and Japanese rice.

The steaks were medium rare when I sliced them but a few minutes on the heated plate cooked them through :mad:

I made ghee earlier today (he he he) and used it to make a lemon, garlic and rosemary coating for a roast chicken.

To accompany it I made baked sweet potatoes with almond essence (the recipe called for Frangelico liqueur and I hadn't a clue where to get it), hazelnuts, shallots and mascarpone topping.

Went to Rolys for a long lunch today and it was epic. Had wild mushroom bruschetta with Parma ham, rocket, hazelnuts and a hazelnut mayonnaise. Then a sublime smoked haddock gratin with an artery clogging amount of Gruyere and then a delish old favourite, creme brûlée. All with a zesty little Spanish white wine. It was all yum, it never fails to disappoint.

We had Donal Skehan's Swedish meatballs with green beans, mashed potato and cranberry jam (didn't have any lingonberries to hand, strangely enough).

For dessert I made a very old fashioned steamed sponge pudding which we ate piping hot from the oven with a lump of vanilla ice cream on top. I've been meaning to make a steamed pudding for ages, they are seriously delicious.

We had a mini Christmas dinner yesterday To whoever recommended the Lidl gratins - love youuuuuu. They are so tasty. Had seen the box with 'emmenthal' written on it and assumed they'd taste of bland nothing but, awesome.

Odd looking blackened bits because I decided to 'crisp things up' using my new cook's blowtorch.

I was invited for lunch yesterday, the host made pan-fried duck breast with a pain d'epice sauce (pain d'epice is sort of like gingerbread but not exactly) and dauphin potatoes. OMG is was gorgeous!
Starter was green salad, and desert was fresh pineapple, which contrasted nicely with the heaviness of the main course.

A kind of a Laksa-inspired thing. I only had a bit of coconut milk so I threw that in with some garlic, ginger, chicken stock, veggies, prawns, a little curry powder, and udon noodles.

Verdict: not bad at all.

Bought a small (1kg) roast beef joint from Aldi on Saturday for Sunday dinner, took the top wrapper off and let it air in the fridge.
Sunday dinner didn't happen so had it tonight. Tender and delicious, don't know why but I was really surprised. It may have been the airing for 48 hours though...

I made Dial Hard's spicy bean&cheese dip, but used it with a bit of rice to stuff into burritos. Along with guacamole and fresh salsa - delish, but not very photogenic at all.
