What are you eating?

Oh dear ... fruit only diet and gruelling sessions in the gym. It's all making me feel rather guilty. My gym membership card reproaches me every time I open my purse. But but but the weather is very sticky. Maybe I'll wait till next winter.

PS I'm doing mushroom and garlic pasta. I'm at home tomorrow so I don't have to breathe over anyone.

 

Did anyone see Alys Fowler doing damson vodka on the edible garden program. It was 1Lb of damsons washed and pricked all over with a cocktail stick put into a pre
serving jar, added 1Lb of sugar and 1Pt of Vodka fasten and leave for approx 3 months (just ready for Christmas me thinks) can`t wait for the Damsons to ripen.
I am on cherries and strawberries at the moment.

 

Had a ham and salad baguette and ice cold watermellon and cold cherries on the beach in the hot sun today......my idea of heaven....:D

 

^^^ That sounds lush!

I was racing most of the weekend- and so mostly ate pasta and sandwiches. I didnt cook at all.

My selected race - the Quad- two 2nd places (one via repecharge).

Double sculls - placed first- which is a bit of a miracle as I had to step in last minute for someone who turned an ankle.

Today Ive mainly been eating ginger biscuits!

 

Accepting any guests for dinner?! :D No mushrooms or celery in mine thanks!

I actually got closer to the screen as I was reading your recipes. Nom nom nom!

 

For two days Ive only eaten ginger biscuits.

This evening however I will be stuffing my courgette flowers with minced pork, mashed potato, apple, sage and rosemary. Then dipping them in a Japanese tempura and deep frying for a minute.

 

Good appetite Shiney!

I come here to show off that Ive made an incredibly tasty meal- and you've turned into a Indian super cook. I surrender! Your dinner sounds soooo good, you're very lucky Ive eaten.

My dinner of stuffed courgette flowers - I used minced chicken instead of pork, parsley, coriander, chilli onion and mashed potato.
Served with massive salad and two dipping sauces- lemon parley and garlic and sweet chilli.




PS what are methi and Kalonji leaves?

 

Husband away all week, he's back tomorrow. Fridge is bare. Telling myself to go out to dinner. I think tonight is the night.

 

Im rowing in an hour and so made plantain and banana fritters for breakfast.

one plantain
one banana
Spring onions
Chilli
coriander, parsley
Egg
Wholemeal flour
Added bran
Milk, S+P to mix

Whizzed up in a blender- fried in rapeseed oil.

 

Thanks Shiney, certainly would enjoy the visit. Did go out to local restaurant. Had a nice salmon platter with interesting sauce.
Friday night, grilled up two thick steaks, roasted eggplant, and fresh corn on cob from market. Today, Saturday, waiting for two loafs of bread to rise then off to baking it.
Have some chicken and mushrooms in fridge now, will put that together later and zucchini.
Have been hankering for some ice cream, might go out and get a pint.

Your fritters look good Melinda. Have you tried sweet potato banana fritters with chopped pecans in them. Google for recipe. Really yummy. And a great way to use up a roasted sweet potato. Always roast a few extra.
