Tonight I have prepared a Persian dish called 'Gaymeh'.
It's really nice.
Beef cooked with limes and tumeric in a tomato sauce. With Basmati rice and a fresh green salad.
The trouble is, it takes yonks to cook. And by the time it's ready, I'm not hungry any more.

Well, because he was dashing in and out tonight, I kept it simple. Sirloin steaks grilled with tomatoes and mushrooms, saute potato with onions, and a green salad.

Actually, I have just kinda blended the flavours you have been cooking up minx, and that sounds brilliant. I am a lover of Indonesian foods, so I know all about the nice spice tastes without the 'burnt' mouth effect from Indian curries!

I have pork belly slices cooking in a Jack Daniels BBQ sauce and onions. With it I am having mashed potato and peas.  |

We had duck (it was half-price at Tesco), roasted then served with stir-fried mixed veg, couscous. and a sauce made with red wine, orange juice, soy sauce and the juices from the duck.
It was nice, but the Gressingham duck was very gamey and my daughter didn't like it. She liked the couscous and sauce though.

I love couscous - especially when it's mixed with spices and fresh chillis, I could just stand and eat it all day long. Better in all ways than the normal carbs with a meal - pasta, rice, potato.

It's 2:00 pm on Friday and I'm eating cheese and tomato on toast.
(Home made brown bread, cheddar cheese, home grown tom's with lashings of black pepper).
Bloody yummy !

I'm starving myself as a few of us are hitting a new, amazing, stunningly good Indian tonight. Been once before and they do dishes I have never heard of before, but that really have a taste bud explosion factored in. Have to book up way ahead to get in - stylish, modern and comfortable with exquisite food and company!  |

Today I am cooking for lunch - Roast beef, yorkshire pudding, new jersey potatoes (the little tiny ones - cost a bomb but what the heck!), roast potatoes, runner beans with white sauce (cn't have them any other way), carrots and sprouts - with gravy of course. Not sure if will do a pudding yet?
If there is any beef left - then tomorrow it will be cooked in the oven with potatoes, onions and carrots around with gravy - bit like a cassarole but in a flatish dish.

Nowt wrong with mince and tatties.
Tonight, the better half made roast sea bass with a crab meat, cheese, double cream and breadcrumb topping, served with a potato rosti.
Ooh, she's getting good.

"The trouble is, it takes yonks to cook. And by the time it's ready, I'm not hungry any more."
I get that a lot too. Taste the food while it's cooking so often, I'm sated by the time it's done.

I concocted something tonight using chicken, chillis, lemon grass, coconut, ginger, onions, peppers - and plonked it on top of steamed jasmine rice. There was enough for the dog too - but he never got a look in, he's still whinging!  |

If you haven't tried Jamie Oliver's range of 'Posh bread spread' I highly recommend it,
I bought 2 yesterday & one jar is just about cleaned out - that was the sun dried tomato & olive - absolutely scrumptious. The other one is nice too, tomato & red onion...but the olive one is OMG

Really simple dinner tonight.
Jersery Royal new potatoes boiled in a saucepan, with a metal colander on top for steaming some geen beans.
While that was doing, I pan-fried fillets of plaice in butter (2 mins each side), and served the fish, tates and beans on warmed plates. Then melted some more butter in the pan, added parsley and the juice of a lemon, cooked for 1 min and poured it over the fish and tates.
Doesn't sound like much, but it was really lovely for a summer's evening.
