Just cheese and biscuits tonight.
But that's because I did a roast chicken meal for lunch. Had Mrs S's parents, my Mum, two of our lads, and one of Mrs S's uni friends.

Sausage, mash, greens and Yorkshire pudding tonight (with onions and gravy for me).
Avril just back, so we usually dine out/take-away, or similar. Local pub doesn't serve food Monday, so decided it would be a Chinese take-away, that turned out to now not open on a Monday, so forth in line - fish and chips.

Spag bol again made by our middle lad bless him. Tasty it was too.
We had chicken supreme, made from one of those Swarz? packet sauces, with boiled rice - the first we have tried. Tasted good, though really needed more moisture.
Mrs Mottie is out again with her mates seeing Lionel Ritchie at the O2. That’ll be a midnight collection from the station picking up a gaggle of singing drunk Essex birds! I digress. Same as last week when eating alone. Pizza. I do love a balsamic drizzle on my pizza's.
Grilled Cornish sardine fillets, crusty bread, chips and wiiiiine.
BBQ'ed chorizo chicken skewers, an Italian salad and fried, sliced, new potatoes, all cooked by yours truly, out on the BBQ. The BBQ lacks a ring, suitable for a frying pan, but earlier in the week, I found (during sorting the summerhouse out) a brand new, never even opened single ring gas stove - one of those flat ones, which runs on a cheap cartridge of gas, tested it and it worked well. That sat perfectly on one of the wings of the BBQ. The fried potatoes were not bad, either 
If the weather holds out another two days, that will be a BBQ seven days on the trot.

Baked salmon, new potatoes (jazzy) with mint, butter and cracked black pepper and some French beans. Potatoes, mint and beans from the plot of Mott.

We gave the cooked at home, ready beer battered, frozen haddock, from Lidl, another go today. Our third attempt, along with chips and mushy...
The first two attempts, oven cooked, it was fine on top, nice but the lower part came out quite soggy, cooked on a flat tray. Second attempt, cooked raised on the grill pan grid, resting on a tray. This time, I tried cooking, much higher from the tray, on one of those cake cooling stands. Much better, but still not quite there.
Next time, I'll try adapting one of those BBQ type grids, which clamps the food between it, allowing you to flip it over, without disturbing the food. One of those things with a handle. We already have one, but due to the length of the handle, it wouldn't fit in the oven. Cut the handle down, and it will be easy to just flip it part way through, and get it firm on both sides.
