What have you had for dinner

[Harry Bloomfield]

We've had either Lidl, or Tesco smoked haddock the past couple of Saturdays, but as we were popping down the road to Sainsburies, for their rather good, fan shaped ice cream wafers, we decided to try Sainsburies smoked haddock, as a test. It was nearly as flavoursome, as the other two, and despite the colour being good and dark before cooking, once on the plate it was much paler. It was smoked haddock, green beans, and baby potatoes.

Indian takeaway tonight....

Snap - almost!
We had a fakeaway Indian. I cooked the rice and made some gluten free naan breads, we had a lamb curry - from a batch cook that Mrs Mottie made a few weeks ago and froze and we had shop bought Bombay spuds and onion bhaji's. Washed down with a gottle of gear.

Veggie and tofu curry with a couple of poppadoms.

Me Ma bless her made me the curry. The tofu was Aldi. Firm tofu and, marinated. Tasty.

Last night had the left overs from my roast meal. Roasties, stuffings, veggie sausages, Yorkshire, bread sauce, gravy and veggies. Yum.

Did Mrs S a rib-eye steak with some roasties and veggies and roast baby plum toms.

Roast beef, roast rainbow carrots, roast potatoes, kale, sprouts and g/f Yorkshire pudding.

Kale and rainbow carrots from the plot of Mott.

We decided, a few minutes ago between us, what to have for dinner later today. We settled on Lidl ready to cook, BBQ pulled pork, which was already in the big freezer, in the box it came from Lidl in. Opened the box, and two lots of frozen pulled pork fell out, plus a sachet of BBQ sauce, rather than the usual one. Weight marked on box, 400gm, so we plonked one pack, plus sauce on the scales, 418gm, then added the second one 800gm. Bonus! They must only weight at the factory, to ensure they are at least the correct weight, ignoring any which are over weight. We've bought these regularly from Lidl, they have always been the best quality, never any lumps of horrible fat in them - whereas, those same items from Iceland, have always had the horrible lumps of fat in them.

The new microwave/airfryer/oven/combi from Lidl - we are still trying to get the hang of, but so far, I cannot fault it.

Thank you.

The Mrs made corn flower Yorkshire puddings on Sunday, and honestly they were really good.

I make breads when we have an Indian etc, but tried to just swap to gluten free flower. The results were diabolical!

Those g/f naans were just brilliant. I just used 10% fat Greek yoghurt though.

Chicken and Mushroom pot noodle for me today and a chicken cuppa soup as it is getting cold out there,.

a chicken cuppa soup as it is getting cold out there

In winter, my local motor factors would bring a buttered roll and a cuppa soup with every order. To get my students a freebie when we had a service one day, I ordered just a gallon of oil. Free roll and soup. Then an oil filter. Free roll and soup. A set of spark plugs, free roll and soup. When I phoned up to order an air filter, the owner said "How many bleedin' kids have you got there today"? I told him five plus me. He sent three more rolls and soup with the next order and said in future, don’t fùck him about, just tell me how many kids I had and he’d sort me out soup and rolls for all of 'em and save on his delivery costs.

Gluten free Punjabi takeaway from our current favourite local Indian restaurant. I knocked up some gluten free garlic and coriander naans to go with it.
