I made some more spicey chicken coujons and potatoe scallops..Lovely, I'm chuffed with myself as I've now got it spot on..

Had to take some round to the neighbours as we couldn't eat them all, its amazing how many you get from two fillets and a few small spuds...

Del, hope you're doing good tonight?

dreamdaisy

I have to say it, del and Tony - chef-tastic! DD

tjt6768

Thanks DD but I'm no chef, I can cook two dishes and that's mi lot! Lol
They are nice though I've gotta admit.. LOL

valval

chilli concarny made fresh with mince, beans, tomatoes, cellery, mushrooms,onions (used bought spices) with rice lovely

dreamdaisy

I use unsweetened cocoa powder - same dog etc etc etc. Never thought of celery tho - that could work well.

I love tarragon, it's one of the most aromatic of herbs, I think. I use it in my leek and potato soup (which also has onion and parsnip luzzed in). Scrummy. DD

dreamdaisy

Mash is so much more than white potato with a bit of milk and butter etc. Sweet pots are gorgeous and I love parsnip mash. I think there is a big difference between us del (apart from the obvious) - you actually LIKE cooking. DD

tkachev

Chippie for us too.

Tonight will be a curry - a very, very mild curry given the distressing events of the past week. Tomorrow, seared tuna with mange tout, red chilli, spring onion and noodles with a splash of soy and fish sauce (Mr DD cheffing). DD

Yes delboy I use shin beef for stews and the like needs to be slow cooked, but its lovely - melts in the mouth - My mum bless her dear departed soul wouldnt use anything else!

Jacket spud with something or other Val..?

I hate saying this but I do mine in the microwave (like some kind of kitchen heathen) :shock: for about 8 mins then finish it in the oven... Takes way too long in the oven alone..

Hi Foodies
Snap Tony, I do my jackets in microwave then blast in oven to get crispy skin. Stew & Dumplins for me tonight - Made with Shin beef of course!

Cath

tkachev

microwave jacket spuds are a regular in this house. I have no patience to finish them in the oven.

Chilli bangers, potato and parsnip mash, carrots and steamed broccoli, followed by two clementines each (they are not very big). Tomorrow night = no cooking as Mr DD has a meeting - result! DD

katie5

all this food talk is making me hungry!

My husband has high blood pressure so we have to 'eat healthily' which is just pants. however, he's working a late shift this week so me and the kiddies are having a big steak, jacket potato (again started in the microwave and finished in the oven) and salad.

My son had just told me there are only 3 biscuits left in the house so i'm off to get mine quick.

valval
