Spending The Whole Day In The Kitchen.

[NoMercy]

I realised we had a tonne of mince in the freezer down in the cellar so I've got it all out and now I'm planning to make a mega hot chilli for tonight, a lasagne for tomorrow and a cottage pie for in the week.

What's cooking at yours this weekend?

[Zacs-Master]

We tend to eat out at weekends.

[ummmm]

We've had veggie burgers for breakfast.

Tuna steak with pineapple salsa for dinner.

My freezer is jam packed so I really need to start using it up.

[albaqwerty]

take-away tonight, then making a chicken chasseur for tomorrow night.

[NoMercy]

I haven't made chicken chasseur in ages!

Pineapple salsa sounds nice. I do like mango salsa.

[queenofmean]

Nothing...I'm coming round to yours NoM!

I'm at OH's so will be out for dinner tonight and I haven't a clue what's on menu at home tomorrow.

[EcclesCake]

As there is only me to cater for I think it will be a super speedy and simple chicken wrap with lettuce and salsa, a posh KFC! Followed by a couple of nectarines.

Tomorrow is likely to be the same just to use everything up.

[ummmm]

I've bought some mango as well :-) Just waiting for Tesco to arrive.

[Islay]

saag aloo with beef for me
Chicken madras for him
home made naan bread
slow cooked pork shoulder for tomorrow with a diet coke sauce

[NoMercy]

Hmmmm.... nectarines. I've had a bee in my bonnet recently about them.

QoM, plenty of room at the inn.

[albaqwerty]

ooh, Islay, am intrigued about the diet coke sauce.
Any chance of sharing the recipe?
pretty please? xx

[NoMercy]

Ummmm, You've just reminded me that I've got a Tesco gift card to use.

[EcclesCake]

I too have a bee in my bonnet about nectarines as I accidentally picked up a pack of peaches this week. I spent an age with a Bic razor de fuzzing the furry horrors!

[NoMercy]

Im not so mad on peaches, but they probably make a nice chutney.

[albaqwerty]

LOL, that's quite an image Eccles ! x
What was wrong with a potato peeler to get rid of the skin? :-)

[EcclesCake]

I had nothing better to do Alba :-)

[albaqwerty]

could have been worse, you could have sat there with tweezers de-fuzzing the offending fruit :-D

[Islay]

Can of diet coke, 5 tablespoons of passata, teaspoon of garlic salt, several shakes of Wshire sauce and a splash of soy sauce.
If doing something like slowed cooked pork, pour all ingredients in and then when pork is cooked pour off all juices etc into a pan and boil to reduce to desired thickness.

[albaqwerty]

oooh, thanks Islay. xx

Will give that a try and see if it doesn't convert the pork dislikers of the family :-D

[Islay]

I also do chicken in it, put it all in a pan, add the chicken breast, poach breasts till cooked and remove. reduce sauce to desired thickness ( I like mine really thick) then pour over the chicken, this is really nice with roasted veg.

I could fit a kitchen in a whole day ... what you messing about at?
