What's Cooking Today??

No, we cheat and buy them - Mrs C makes a garlic butter and applies to plain shop bought naan - although not as good as the Indian around the corner, they are still lovely.

 

Yesterday we had home made cream of asparagus soup followed by - for Mrs Shiney, roasted peppers, aubergine, celeriac and red onions with a pesto sauce and for me, home brined and spiced salt beef with chips followed by gluten free apple crumble.

Today we are having home made cream of mushroom soup followed by stir fried veggies (carrots, courgettes, white cabbage, French beans, mushrooms in a ginger, onion and garlic base and accompanied by very quickly stir fried lightly spiced thin strips of beef fillet. I'll have the rest of the apple crumble.

 

Turkey casserole with Yorkshire pudding (I think)...

Bit of a story to this - we were gifted a frozen meat hamper for Christmas, but hadn't many clues to the various meats contained within, other than we had ham/gammon, leg of lamb and beef.

Back end of last week, Mrs C suggested we take the leg of lamb out of the freezer for Sunday. Things kinda passed us by on Sunday, so we left it in the fridge and I said I would slow cook it on Monday whilst she was at work. Monday morning, I took it out of the fridge and looked in the packaging - - not lamb, but pork! So, no point in slow cooking that, I will just normally roast it later in the day. Later on, I popped the netted pork joint into the oven, but thought it looked like the longest, oddest joint of pork I had seen...... by the time it was cooked, it turned out to be turkey breast!

So, today marks the last day of the surprise turkey...

 

I've roasted chicken wings with garlic salt and herbs to have as snacks. Mrs Shiney quite often has them with a salad for her supper. Mrs S also has cheese and almond snacks - ground almonds, grated strong cheddar, butter, eggs, chia seeds and cinnamon made into small patties and cooked in the oven.

Also having chicken noodle soup and stir fried veg.

 

It isn't going to be the last day of turkey... Little C doesn't want any, and there is way too much for two (too much for three as well to be honest) so guess who is having turkey curry tomorrow?

 

The thought of turkey curry hasn't had the same effect on me....
