today i would have some spicy stir fried asian noodles and sausage fried rice

Yesterday we had what I term a school dinner.

It's the type of meal that schools in the 60's and 70's used to serve at lunch time here in the UK.

Corned beef - cold and sliced very thinly
Mushy processed peas
Fluffy mashed potatoes
Parsley sauce.

It may not be fine cuisine but my husband loves it.


Today we are having

Chicken curry (home made)
Plain boiled basmati rice
Peshwari Naan

Today we are having ......

Plaice in Breadcrumbs (shop bought)
Petti pois
Cherry tomatoes
Chunky chips. Cooked in the Blaster:D (my term for the small halogen oven, great for cooking for two).

We are having

Smothered Pork Chops
Roasted Potatoes
Veggies

Yesterday I made my Mom's pasta salad- it has some funky "white trash" components, but we were raised on this in the summer-time and I love it!
