I agree with Gert. Don't every leave this forum JulieO and keep on posting photos - love them.

That dinner looks really yummy.

I am trying to increase the amount of veges in our meals lately so tonight we had vegetable quinoa pilaf. I made the quinoa in the TMX and it was so much tastier using vege stock to steam. The meal was actually a lot tastier than I thought so will make again - yay for eating healthier and still tasting good  :D

Well we had hard boiled eggs and Thermy salad for lunch with yesterday's ISI,s everyday bread left over.
DH asked for less apple in salad.

For dinner we had roasted mini potatoes with garlic, home made chicken nuggets ( chicken breast, rolled in egg and breadcrumbs. Used thenthermy demo crumbs from freezer), red cabbage, carrots. Leftover rhubarb crumlble with my custard sauce from the desert forum.

Am nice and full now but was very hungry, been outside working in garden all afternoon. We are making a new garden, it is very slow as seems to just me doing it. It will be a cottage garden.

I put in a few perennials today and some annuals. Antirhinums and stocks, and some thing small and blue to fill the gaps but I don't know the name. It was not lobelia..

Should have taken a photo of my dinner plate. It was very full.

Between the breast & the skin  I spread caramelised garlic paste, wow ;D

Roast chicken, sage & onion stuffing, roast potatoes, roast pumpkin, roast carrots, steamed squashed, steamed brussel sprouts, cauliflower cheese & bread sauce & gravy :P

Wow, no wonder your plate was full Hally! And no wonder your tummy is now too :-)) Sounds very yummy though :D

I cooked up farfallina's turkey with mushrooms. Only did half the amount of turkey, added a good dose of garlic to scare away these colds, and also added some turmeric and cumin. Was DELICIOUS :D Served with little cabbages.

I made the beef vindaloo from the Indian book but cooked in the pressure cooker and a rice pilaf in the PC. One of thebest curries I've ever made.

We had squid and salad. DH and a friend caught 20 squid last night so we cleaned one of the large ones and cut it up and gave it a very quick cook in a hot frying pan. ever so sweet.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

OMG fresh caught squid. How delightful. Squid ink pasta with Maddys new pasta maker.
