Well worth it Malcolm. They are crunchy and go with anything really.

Yes you get a bit tired of the usual chips and are ready for a change.
I'll pick some up on Sunday.

We had a chicken curry this evening. We cheated and used a jar of tikka Masala, some peppers, onions and a pack of chicken breasts from Aldi - which is about 500 yards away. We had to do without naan or popadoms - they did not sell them.

This was accompanied by a really nice Douro red wine which cost the enormous sum of 2.79 euros

Afterwards I had a couple of the lovely big juicy navel oranges that have just come into season here followed by a Danone Activa Yoghurt

Oh.......and a helping of indigestion.

Tonight we will have ostrich steaks with loads of fried onion and garlic, curly fries, peas and sweetcorn.

Dry griddled tuna with caper berries, olives and tiny bit of fresh chili with a touch of olive oil with pasta (haven't decide which, yet) and a simple salad.

I'm doing meatloaf today with potatoes and carrots
Never done it before, hope it's good

Instead of a simple salad why not have an intelligent one? 

Regarding andsome's comment about the simple salad, I didn't want the salad to outshine the brilliance of the tuna and its dressing. BTW we had tagliatelle as the pasta.

Today it's Lamb Stir Fry (English Style). This is one of those "sling it together" meals where you know instinctively how much of what to put in. If you're a bit unsure, I'll put some quesstimate amounts to two people.

Cut some very thin slices from an uncooked lamb leg joint (100 - 125g). Cut further in postage stamp sized pieces. Chop a medium/large onion into small pieces and fry in a small amount of fat until soft. Add the lamb pieces and continue to cook until the lamb begins to crisp up. Add cooked basmati rice (made from 1 cup of rice in a rice cooker or however much you wish) and a lamb Oxo which has been mixed with a small amout of water. Stir gently to thoroughly heat the rice and add a tin of garden peas, pepper and chopped mint. Mix well and serve.

I think the best peas for this are tinned garden peas. Next best, frozen ones. Don't use marrowfats as they tend to disintegrate

It's my Friday usual of sandwiches.  Canned mackerel in Olive oil, with thick slices of onion.

I'm making sweet and sour chicken and fried rice
Pieces of chicken breast battered and deep fried served separately with fried rice covered in S/S sauce.

Sounds fine to me.

Pork-Chops and chips to-night.

Roast lamb today using the leg of lamb that I stole the slices from for yesterday's meal. Served with roast spuds, roast parsnips and Brussels.

Saturday night is baps night.  Tiger baps with sliced ox tongue.  I will also include thick slices of onion on mine, and 'Er indoors will have tomato sliced up on hers.

Scouse for us today, chunks of steak and carrots, celery, onions and potatoes with a pinch of cumin oxo and S&P slow cooked for 3 hours.
