    Okay, I know a lot of people get stuck in a routine of eating the same dinners every week so hopefully this thread will give us all some useful ideas or something to laugh at.

    If you see something you'd like to try ask the poster to post a recipe in another thread :)

    Last night I had:

    Stir-fried honeyed chicken breast with stir-fry vegetables, mango and boiled rice

    Really tasty!

    *The night before, I had curried omlette with peppers, garden peas spring onion, tumeric, ginger and a dash of soy sauce. Tasted great, I swear!

    PLEASE READ MOD NOTE IN THIS POST.

    It is where you place the leg/shoulder of lamb on a rack (as opposed to a roasting dish) above your roast veg & spuds.
    Hey presto! As the lamb roasts the fat then "weeps" down on to the veg for extra "lamby" flavour.

    Chicken breast stuffed with mozeralla, covered with chicken-y pasta sauce and all roasted. On the side was some roast vegetables, and also some mash with kerrygold & cheese melted into it. Yum.

    Salmon with a garlicky herby (homemade) cream cheese and white wine all wrapped in pastry served with Garlic redskin mash and musy peas. YUM! Even the two year old ate it... but I think just cause it was pink! :-)

    Last night was a very simple spaghetti and tuna bolognese.

    Home made sauce of olive oil, crushed fresh garlic cloves, chopped tomatoes, mixed herbs and a dash of tomato ketchup.

    Other ingredients, tuna, spring onion, mushroom, red and green pepper and some frozen mixed veg to top up.

    Tasty!

    EDIT: yeah, kids are strange, my 4-year old nephew only likes yellow food! :)

    Sounds excellent...hungry now :)

    Last night I had home-made chicken curry with boiled rice. I added a bit too much tumeric to the mix so everything looked very yellow.

    I also discovered that the natural yoghurt I had was out of date and couldn't use it, so there was no chopped tomato, yoghurt and cornflour mix :(

    Still tasted great :) <-- What's that about self-praise...?

    I'm normally health-conscious but I was at a wine tasting yesterday evening which discombobulated me, so I went to a Turkish fast food gaff near Charlemont and I had:

    Shish Kebab.
    Quarter Pounder.
    Chicken Dippers.

    My girlfriend picked me up then and we stopped in Donnybrook Fair on the way home and bought sausages, bread and eggs. I had some of those, with Soy Milk (see, I told you I'm healthy).

    I became remorseful then and it was difficult to fall into an easy sleep last night, and I like a python who'd just swallowed a goat.

    Living on the other side of the röstigraben (as I do) I must confess that the term means littleto me. If you mean with mushrooms ...then no.

    Local (Zweisimmen) cheese-mix, white wine, garlic, shallots, kirsch, cornflour, dash of nutmeg, salt, pepper & lemon juice. Cooked atop a wood-fired stove and consumed with plenty of Mont Sur Rolle (most likely).

    I thought you guys would be more into rösti. Fondue is for fruzes.

    My favourite was Gruyere, Vacherin and Appenzell in equal quantities. Always had the ol' Cardinal with my fondues.

    Enjoy you evening.

    Yesterday I made Beef Fajitas.. Quite nice, I put to use a tip given to me by a friend of putting cheese into the mince while its frying, it melts in and gives it a lovely tangy taste and constancy.. I also used Old El Paso spicy taco sauce in the meat with, guacamole, salsa, re-fried beans, grated cheddar and salad on the side with spicy wedges :p
