What's for tea at your house tonight?

OK, how do you steam them?  Also do you put anything on them or eat as is?

You can steam, microwave or boil.  I just ate the baby cabbage on its own.  I did not think it needed anything else.

OK, with the steaming, how do you do that?  (I know I am pathetic) I just don't know how!!!!

You have to have a steam basket or a sauce pan that has a drainer sort of pan that fits on top of it and a lid.  Not the greatest explanation I know.  I bet someone else has a much better description.

Chicken Jalfrezi (bottle of Patak brand cooking sauce), curried zucchini & basmati rice (I planned it & hubby cooked it!)

Tomorrow night, we're taking a friend out as a birthday celebration for a curry in Leeds.

What did you have Stacey?  I love Cinco de Mayo back in AZ, such excellent food.

Tonight it's fillet with a good rubbing of emeril spices, some corn and salad with feta and light french dressing.

Sauteed Steak with a Green Peppercorn Sauce served with Red-skinned Mashed Potatoes and sauteed Asparagus ...got the recipe from foodnetwork.com...sounds yummy and bf loves steak so I think I'll try it.

Peedal, from reading some previous posts regarding your recommendation for baby cabbage, I bought some.  It was wonderful,thanks!

I want to try these, too, but I can't find them in the stores. Might they go by some name other than "baby cabbage"?

I get them in the fresh produce section in Sainsbury's.  They come wrapped in celophane in pairs.  I think they're just "small cabbage" or maybe "miniature cabbage"?

I steam them in my steamer - time it takes depends on how crunchy I want them.  They're also great for chopping up for stir frys.

I'm having Cinco de Mayo leftovers tonight, too, Stacey.  I ended up making a huge feast - pork fajitas, beef enchiladas, refried beans, guacamole, soured cream, salsa....   There's two enchiladas left and they have my name on them - as do the two bottles of Sol beer left over as well!

Hmmm ... I couldn't find them this morning at either Tesco or Asda. I'll try looking again next time. Thanks!

Salmon and salad again.  Oh and I made the south beach surprise mashed potatoes!  YUUUUUMMMYY

I looked at that recipe in the SBD book and thought it sounded great! But it calls for non-fat creamer. I couldn't find that over here. Did you or did you substitute something else for it? Could you maybe use nonfat yogurt or would it need to be creamier?

I've used either skim milk by itself or a combo of skim milk and fromage frais.  The latter is the better one!

I have found "baby cabbage" at Marks &Spencer's.  Saninsbury's also carries small cabbage, like Peedal posted

My favorite thing for a quick meal is potato onion Mrs. T's pierogies with chopped turkey bacon sprinkled on top with a bit of butter, salt, and pepper.  I'm thinking that's will I'll have tonight.  Mmmmmm!!!!!!!

Guessing I won't be getting any pierogies in England.
