What's for tea at your house tonight?

Oh the potatoes! They want to send them every week and I'm just not that into potatoes. I'm forever taking them off the list. 

North African Squash and Chickpea Stew

I just googled this. Did you do the Hugh one?

I did 

I have the cookbook and I've been a bit obsessed with it lately 

Tonight was ribeye steaks (adli have a lovely one) on the BBQ, burger for the chicklet who wont do steaks, sauteed mushrooms and onions, and twice baked potatoes. It was very yummy!!!

Macaroni and Cheese

...since I have received celery for 3 weeks straight in my veg box. I can't seem to use it fast enough.

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but I wash & scrape (if necessary) & chop up celery, throw it in a freezer bag & freeze it.  Then if I need some chopped for a soup, stew, making stock or whatever (something that is going to be cooked & needs celery as a base note) - I have it at the ready. It's mostly water anyway so it freezes well for this purpose, for cooking - of course you wouldn't eat it raw after having frozen it.  I do the same when we get lots of leeks occasionally that we can't keep up with.

Chicken fajitas with homemade guacamole and Spanish rice. Probably pretty simple for most people, but a big (and tasty) accomplishment; that stuff used to comes out of a package for me!

Actually, that's quite a good feat for anyone, especially since I know you were posting on here about tips for cooking better, etc.   Well done you!!!!   

Had a restaurant booked for tonight through a living social voucher. Given the events of the day, I wasn't sure if we would be going, but it turned out to be a celebration dinner...

Went to the Docklands Bar and Grill, which was walking distance for us. Had macaroni and cheese as a starter, and fish and chips for the main. DH had lobster and crayfish linguine to start, and a burger and chips for the main. Plus white wine! Really simple food, but great quality.

Thank you! I was really pleased with myself.

Last month, I bought one of those windowsill garden kits, and the coriander (I was so excited to learn that was cilantro!) was mature enough to cut some off, so I put it into the meal last night. It was the freshest, nicest I've ever had. It made everything taste as good as any Mexican restaurant's meal.

Tonight, I'm not sure. Thinking of grilling some pork chops. Maybe some roasted potatoes and carrots, and some creamed spinach. Or something....

grilled sweetcorn soup from the wahaca mexican food at home cookbook!

Mrs Robinson I am so doing what you suggested with the celery in my fridge right now!

Thanks for the celery tip Mrs R! I may just do that with the 3rd bunch.

I'm making veggie curry laksa.

BLTs and I think I'll make some macaroni salad to go with it. My husband is never excited about sandwiches for dinner, so I need to make something else to go with them to kick them up!

Made sweet and sour prawns, rice, and sautéed cabbage with ginger 

So, tonight I made a really gorgeous creamed spinach with mushrooms. Then my husband and I learned at the same time he doesn't like cooked spinach. Pity, 'cause I definitely want to make that again. Oh, well, live and learn.  :-)
