What are you cooking during lockdown?

[NottyImp]

Well there were onions in the stuffing if that counts, and I had Brussels and they must count double. I did have a tuna salad at lunchtime though. Strawberries to follow too

Sounds good. I've just had half a bottle of port. That's grape-based, right? I'm sure that must count.

Ha ha, same as my wife’s orange gin. It too can go on the list

If you feel really good right now, then it definitely counts. You can only feel like that when you're fed properly with your fruit and veg

Mrs CI usuallly does an big curry/chilli or similar for the working week, we mix it up with different veg each night for variety.

Having escaped to Lincoln at the weekend and me currently the non working member of the household, it fell to me to fill the big pot today, the resultant chicken curry turned out fine and unlike the wife's efforts I seem to have left the kitchen smelling like a curry house, we both think that's a bonus!

Coop super saver special tonight.....2 pizzas and 4 pack of 300ml bud for £5. Double pepperoni for me, margarita for Mrs E. added olives and prosciutto made it really tasty and really good value. Might need to get the bike out again though!

 

[NottyImp]

Baked sweet potato and feta for lunch.

An unforgivable tea: Fray Bentos pie with boiled potatoes, carrots and gravy. Yes, the pie comes in a tin!

Tonight it's been salmon for Mrs S, pasta with tomato and lentil sauce for me. We then had strawberry and custard tarts which Mrs S made this afternoon - yummy; another couple each for tomorrow's tea

Lunch started as poached eggs on sourdough toast but then used up some fried new potatoes and mushrooms on the side

 

[Rob the Imp]

"Interesting mac and cheese" on toast for lunch today. A tin of m & c jazzed up with onion, garlic and paprika, plus a little salad on top. Pretty decent!

Dinner tonight is a mix of Quorn pieces, onion, mushroom, and plum tomatoes cooked in garlic oil, with roasted butternut squash and beetroot.

Oh and the Mrs insisted on adding gravy to the roasted veg too ....which to be fair did make the whole thing a bit more interesting!

Olives like that...

Home made tomato soup tonight, surprisingly quite a lot of ingredients (veg) and effort from Mrs G. It is a regular on the menu in the summer. Winter soups are Bruine bonensoep (Brown Beans) and Erwtensoep (Pea) nice n thick and warming, again, quite a number of vegetables as well as the key ingredient.

Going exotic tonight.
Rice - because we've run out of potatoes; with basa fillets with lemon & garlic, garden peas and sugar snap peas.
Fruit for dessert. Really trying to ditch my one and only vice - chocolate.
