What's for Dinner Tonight?

[Amy :-)]

tasty b... s... food though Uni - I can understand older people not enjoying them for a meal but the young ones love them.

Except me

[Cornish Cream]

Cooked Tenina's Swiss Cheese and Ham Pastries from frozen tonight for 30 minutes in a fan oven 180c.Perfect

Brons steamed rice which FAILED.... And after 20 extra minutes in  had to be boiled for 2 mins in a pan on the hob as the rest of the meal was spoiling.

Pork fillet, thinly sliced and fried in butter with shallots and Thai seasoning mix from Waitrose http://www.waitrose.com/shop/ProductView-10317-10001-61666-Waitrose+Cook's+Ingredients+spicy+thai+mix

In another pan large red onion, leek, orange pepper and thinly shredded cabbage sweated in butter.

Sauce made from meat juices and cornflour, water with 1d muscovado sugar and 1d balsamic vinegar.

It was very good in the end but rather stressful when rice failed and everything else was ready. Has wanted to impress DD. it worked last time I made it.  I still don't know why? Used short grain rice, weighed everything on my proper scales. Dunno.

  really DJ are you sure you pressed the varoma  button again, i have done that with this rice (2times)

[droverjess]

Yes. I did and kept adding 3 mins and 3 mins etc.

Will be double sure next time.

It is right to do 7 mins without rice then add rice 13 mins?

[fundj&e]

yes thats what i do

i am sure you did  do the 3 mins with the oil and garlic

sometimes when  i see the temp lights on i think i have reset the heat but i havent 

[droverjess]

Yes to all that. Thanks.
See what happens next time!

[astarra]

Good luck next time DJ. 

Dinner tonight we are going to the in-laws! I'm taking the roast potatoes, not sure what else we will be having with them! 

[obbie]

we are having pork chops, with veges, apple sauce

[dede]

Had Shepards pie tonight to use up left over roast pork, was really yummy thanks to Halex. I followed your recipe and we all enjoyed it
Will definitely be making again when we have left over roast meat (which isn't that often)

[deedub]

We had tuna mornay tonight, or as the 7yo calls it "na-na-na-na TUNA!" Recipe not from here, just converted my usual recipe on the fly & it worked. Must be getting the hang of this, finally!

DJ, did you stir it every 3 minutes as per the recipe?

I whipped us some of Amy's little quiches for a snack tea as I'm having visitors tomorrow afternoon and I can put them out for afternoon tea as well.

[Amy :-)]

Steamed blue groper, smashed potato and steamed broccoli and cauliflower

[Halex]

Roast Lamb, wraps from freezer, had to use them up, much prefer home  made, salad & potatoes in their jackes with sour cream.
