Brown rice and vegetable Korma.

Made waaaay too much brown rice. Need to figure out a way to use it up.

A typical summer lunch here; fried new potatoes, hard boiled eggs with a cup- a - soup then a handful of strawberries and green peas ( raw!) straight from the garden.. Grazing has begun... LOVE it..

No such thing! Refrigerate some for fried rice tomorrow and freeze the rest. Make sure it's nice and dry before freezing.

Speaking of which, some vege chilli and rice for lunch.

kylith · 16-07-2018 12:54pm

Salad. Mixed leaves, sugar snaps, tomato, feta, baby corn, balsamic dressing.

Graces7 · 16-07-2018 3:07pm

Sweet and simple poached eggs and chips. Rich Tea with chocolate spread to follow..

Lentil & chickpea stew - I'm sick of salads. It tasted nicer than it looks.

Antipasti salad. Olives, salami, prosciutto, sundried tomato, artichoke, lettuce, little gem lettuce. I honestly don’t know which but I liked best.

Late working lunch.
Tuna sandwich and borscht.
(Too hungry to take a pic).

kylith · 20-07-2018 10:34pm

Now, that's a salad.

igCorcaigh · 26-07-2018 1:49pm

Green beans cooked in tomatoes, Tesco micro grains, mackerel in chilli sauce.

Lentil & chickpea salad with cheddar and ham.

Graces7 · 03-08-2018 1:21pm

The very first eggs from my rescued hens..Poached ,with baby new potatoes. They were the ones ready to microwave in their own vented bag and very good.. added salt and butter..

Artisan sourdough bread and butter washed down with home made mushroom and garlic soup.

Badger & Dodo "Fairy Floss" coffee is currently bubbling in the percolator and smells fantastic. A blueberry muffin is awaiting consumption.

Currently having an omelette with cheese and scallion

Mac and cheese (Felicity Cloake's recipe) with sweetcorn and peas

Had a lovely weekend in Castle Leslie and finished it with a lunch in the bar

Chicken in a white wine sauce with wilted spinach and boxty potato. Followed by apple and blackberry crumble with vanilla ice cream and creme anglaise. Delicious!

ETA- can't upload the picture of dessert..file's too big

It was delicious though

I had an amazing steak sandwich on sourdough bread with sun dried tomato salsa today in Asador.

For the last few days I've been having a variant on vegetable gyoza with salad, drowned in salad cream.

That looks amazing Kylith! I'm drooling!
Love salad cream too, more zingy than mayo.

Can you buy the dumpling wrappers, or did you make them?

You can buy them.

I admit that, while I have made gyoza in the past, these are pre-packed frozen ones. They're not as good, but handy to have in the freezer.

I hugely recommend the recipe for gyoza on the Cooking With Dog Youtube channel. It's a fantastic recipe, tastes exactly like what you'd get in Japan, and knocks the socks off of what you'd get in a restaurant over here. They also freeze really well and cook from frozen in less than 10 minutes, which is handy cos the recipe makes loads.

Keto coronation chicken salad. Since I currently have to watch my sugar and carb intake there's no mango chutney or raisins, so it wasn't awesome. It could be the rotten cold that I have but it was just really bland, I don't think I'll use that particular recipe again anyway.

kylith · 26-09-2018 2:34pm

Tuna Brogies. Tuna, marie-rose sauce, tomato, gherkins, lettuce, cheese. Can't melt the cheese cos I have learned that Brogies do not do well under the grill, but we soldier on.

kylith · 28-09-2018 3:02pm

I went with creamy chicken soup. Shredded roast chicken thighs, baby corn, mange tout, carrot, spinach, cream, stock, garlic, thyme, turmeric, and rice.

Tar.Aldarion · 07-10-2018 4:10pm

Shameful lunch today, got some vegan pastries from a local place to bring to my friend recovering from surgery.

A cheesy pizza roll (kinda tasted like baba ghanoush), coffee cinnamon swirl and two citron crack buns (soft brioch with a crisp shell and citron creme patisserie filling). Amazing.

kylith · 15-10-2018 4:19pm

Homemade cream of tomato soup with Lidl truffle sachettini. Very tasty, despite the weird smell from the sachettini, but I think that's the truffle.

Shenshen · 20-10-2018 3:46pm

Feeling a bit under the weather, so I just made myself a bowl of (German style) noodle soup. I have short vermicelli noodles from the Polish shop always in the cupboard, so I just made a strong vegetable broth with lots of salt, boiled the noodles in it and added a handful of chopped chives.

I don't know why, but this always balances me out when I'm feeling out of sorts.

Dizzyblonde · 20-10-2018 8:11pm

Feel better soon Shenshen.

24-11-2018 2:15pm

My wife made mushroom soup and I (and my daughter) made brown bread.
