What's Cooking Today??

Yesterday we BBQ'd loads of sausages and chicken portions , most of which were later frozen.
We had some of the chicken with a salad, no sweet.



Today we added a couple of the sausages( sliced) to some onion and chilli sauce along with herby cous cous and salad.

As we had picked some plums this morning, we decided to have a sweet today. Ice cream with both ( you have to live dangerously occasionally ) pomegranate and toffee sauce...oh forgot the healthy bit...the plums of course!!

 

Just had a nice BBQ, stuffed, think I will nod off anytime soon.

Tinned tomatoes on toast with a fried egg and brown sauce.
Hubby had a sausage sandwich and a fried egg sandwich with brown sauce.

 

Due to an unforeseen and very pleasant surprise (swordfish on promo in the local supermarket) OH barbecued two whopping, delicious steaks with garlic and rosemary wedges and home-grown peas. No doubt this is the 'abundance' that HRH Macron is warning us that we'll have to give up. I will when he does...

 

Dinner from the Fish Shop.

 

I've got a very busy week coming up so did up easily microwave foods. Hamburgers and tube steaks on the barbecue. Macaroni casserole. Baked rolls and breads.

But everybody else's looks a lot more delicious!

 

Tagliatelle (still cooking) with kale, garlic, onion, bacon, cheese and lunchtime tomato harvest. Our plants now give a large handful for both lunch and dinner, exactly the amount we eat. It's so wet that the fruit burst the moment you touch them so are ideal for eating within five minutes.

 

Toad in the Hole, Mash & Cabbage.

 

Lasagne and veg.

 

Toad in the hole with potatoes, cabbage, peas, sprouts, carrots and gravy.
Pudding was summer pudding with ice cream.

 

Quiche+ salad

 

Home made spicy meatballs in a tomato and garlic sauce with veggie rice. It was ...yummy.

 

Garlic. Or more accurately, GARLIC

We visited foreign food supermarkets last Friday and got a haul of most interesting things plus a kilogram of Chinese garlic for a £ or so.

Today it all got peeled and pickled and our kitchen is totally sterilised against winter mildew with the rather heavy vapours of the vinegar with the cloves.

The Wunderkid decided to wear a mask (luckily we have one or two handy) to manage the jarring up but still we will probably need a visit to an eyelash specialist to replace the ones lost in the process.

Pickled garlic is lovely but the "making of" is rather hard core stuff



Tomorrow it's the chilli pickling day, I'll give a report if I am still in a condition to type.

 

Looks good @Selleri
Last year I did pickled chillies and they're just as bad, it really gets into my throat and i cough a lot even with a mask on.
