Here's What I Had For Dinner - Part III - Don't quote pics!

Not quite dinner time, but I'm having hommous and salad:

Sam Quentin · 24-05-2018 04:27PM

Beer battered fresh Cod and pasta bake.

Edit: I just realised how greasy they look, but that grease mainly dripped of the utensil I used for lifting them from the deep fat fryer, when you deep fat fry batter, the immense heat and steam cooks the fish from the batter inwards,. yes the batter gets greasy so kitchen towel or baking paper is a must and enjoy...

Still not fully functional around the kitchen with the sprained left thumb and right shoulder, but at this point I'm just too fed up with pizza from the freezer, baked bean and the husband's culinary limits - baked potato.

So tonight, we got the BBQ out and had halloumi, quorn sausages and corn on the cob. I made a potato salad and a pasta salad to go with it.
And I made peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies, which I can't keep my hands off now.

Let's see what I'll be able to do tomorrow

I'd been debating if an airfryer is a justifiable expense for us at the moment, but looking at those I think it is.

I would go for a bigger one, even if just cooking for one person the regular one is a bit small.

In the US these power air fryers are popular, and cheap

I would probably go for this 5L one

this salter one is bigger again and has good reviews

Youtube videos are good for gauging size.

Out with a friend so we went to Eddie Rockets: cheeseburger, cheesy fries, and a strawberry malt. Mmmm.

kylith · 28-05-2018 09:03PM

Lentil bolognese. Made loads of sauce, but apparently not enough pasta. Tasty.

Michellenman · 28-05-2018 09:13PM

BBQd m&s ‘best burgers ever’ burgers, brioche bun, red cheddar melted on, bbqd a smoked rasher. The only vegetable was in the ballymaloe & coleslaw. Incredible. Diet starts back tomorrow.

Looks delish!

Is that the burger with bone marrow?

Dizzyblonde · 29-05-2018 07:08PM

A barbecued chicken fillet with spicy rice. We've already used the barbecue more times this year than we did during the whole summer last year.

I can’t remember, i don’t remember there being anything about bone marrow on the sleeve. Think they were actually called ‘best ever burgers’ or ‘ultimate burgers’ maybe. Will check next time in the shop!

Frittata of green veg (spuds, brocolli, asapagus, sugar snaps, green beans) and tapas/antipasti (sun dried tomato, grilled artichokes, olives, grilled peppers). I made the frittata, but everything else was out of a jar. Very tasty and good with the heat.

Turkey wraps with Franks hot wing sauce, mushroom and onion

BaZmO* · 30-05-2018 11:47PM

Aldi ribeye with homemade chips and veg. Delicious

That’s not a wrap. That’s a plate.

Those chips, my god they look good!

kylith · 31-05-2018 09:55AM

Home made pizza: half mozzarella, half fake cheese, mushrooms, pineapple, and spinach on top.

It might not be as quick as delivery, but boy is it tasty.

They were a real spur of the moment thing. I was actually peeling potatoes to make roasted potato cubes when Mrs.B was talking to our 5yo about potatoes or veg, and for some reason they got talking about chips being made out of potatoes. I don’t why, but he didn’t believe her, which I was surprised at. So I thought I’d show him the process. Although, thinking back at it, I might have been played by a 5yo!

Anyway, they were twice fried, and rather nice.

beertons · 31-05-2018 10:46AM

Kids said they like pasta, only the red peppers, broccoli, and all olives. What else, but combine everything. Served with bbq sausages, burgers and chicken skewers. Honestly, I've never seen them eat so much. Must be the weather.

Ah. Ok. Makes sense now.

Only now I'm wondering if there are people out there craving pizza with gherkins

I did actually consider putting gherkins on it too

I only put the spinach on because the sweet corn was gone off.

BBQ tonight. Chicken Kebabs.

03-06-2018 09:36PM

Steak fajitas. Good summery food.

cefh17 · 03-06-2018 10:30PM

Busy day meal prepping today, not the most summery of foods though! Did a big lasagna (part following Matty Matheson's recipe, delish), leek and potato soup, overnight oats with forest fruits, spicy quinoa/ taco mince (from Thug kitchen) burrito bowls and a steak hash. The cleaning can wait until tomorrow :P

Shenshen · 05-06-2018 12:48PM

Hot weather, so I made puff pastry parcels filled with chickpeas, sundried tomatoes, fresh herbs and feta cheese. With a pasta salad, a potato salad, and some corn on the cob on the side.

Dizzyblonde · 05-06-2018 09:00PM

The barbecue isn't getting a rest with the weather being so good. Last night we had barbecued spatchcocked chicken with spicy rice, and tonight himself had a rib eye and I had tandoori chicken skewers with barbecued peppers, mushrooms and onions all cooked on the barbecue.

Shenshen · 06-06-2018 08:37AM

We went vegan for last night's dinner - I made the Beer Chili Mac from Thug Kitchen.
Sooo yummy, but the quantities in the recipe made for at least 6 portions. So now we'll eat it again... and again
