• pizza there, which I always like but I think i'll have cheese on it next time - thats mushrooms, onions and bacon
• and the salad has some stuff from the garden, the lettuce is from the garden, there are some tomatoes coming out the garden but not enough for a whole salad at this point
• also some beetroot there too, i'm pretty sure this is from the garden - I didn't have much of it but it was nice and sweet

saturday's post

• and some fairy toast to go with it
• theres also some tomato and onion salad there

friday's post

Dinner 7.10PM

• thats my mum's version of swedish meatballs, I think these were a mix of pork and beef mince - i've always said the swedish inspired meatballs were just pork but i'm starting to think they've all been a mix recently
• got some lovely green beans there too
• and some new potatoes from the garden

thursday's post

Dinner 7.00PM

• thats a chicken stir fry
• thats noodles
• and rice
• with green beans
• red onions
• the other white onions (I like these but can't think of the proper name)
• red peppers
• and I think the sauce was a black bean one which is nice and salty, there was soy sauce on the table but I didn't go for any of it

wednesday's post

Dinner 6.45PM

• got a lamb chop there, I really like these but they can be a bit bitter, I think I really like them for the fat on them
• got mashed potatoes too, with some of the juices from the chop, this is my favourite things from the meal
• and some peas, I mixed a lot of the peas in with the potato which is always fun

tuesday's post

Dinner 7.10PM

• thats beef stew which we haven't seem to have had in a while now,
• normal stuff like white rice on the bottom and some carrots and stuff
• its snow peas
• and there greek yoghurt with chives
• the big difference is instead of my dad doing the meal and my mum making the dumplings, my dad made them, he makes much stickier, heavier dumplings - I suppose the word is stodgier, they're done wrong, but I think I like them like that a lot of the time

monday's post

Dinner 6.50PM

• this was another very nice meal, I think what I liked about this one is I could spend a lot of time eating each element of the meal
• you've got pork schnitzel there which I always like
• with nearly every cut I took I had some of the sauce on it, the sauce was tartare sauce which is again one of my favourite things even though I think i've only ever had it with fish once
• and got a bit of spaghetti carbonara there as well which has the usual bacon in it and red pepper and stuff, I really like this but I shouldn't have mixed it with the sauce
• got some green beans as well
• and on the separate plate there a little salad which is cucumber, some lettuce and red onion, I think there was some dressing on it too and there little cherry tomatoes are from the garden - they have a really funny sweet taste to them

sunday's post

Dinner 6.45PM

• this isn't the normal sunday dinner because my mum wasn't home so it didn't seem right to have a full roast dinner
• so there we've got a piece of chicken
• some spring greens/cabbage (nice to have this again)
• some broccoli
• some green beans
• some lovely roast potatoes from the garden
• and you've got before and after on the gravy there, the gravy was a bit more strongly flavoured than usual, maybe sweeter, it wasn't as thick as how my mum does it as well, i'm really not sure which is better

boy better post

I will now anyway

sorry about the lack of updates

just started college, its sikk but i'm really tired now

will update and do all the comment stuff over the weekend hopefully

saturday's post

Dinner 9.25PM

• i've really been looking forward to doing this post because this was definitely one of my favourite meals of the whole month
• the thing that made the meal was that little bowl of satay sauce because it had curry powder in it, I always forget how much I love curry powder, its such an amazing flavour
• theres some onions rings, they were perfect to have with the sauce
• and theres some chicken kebabs there too, some are with red peppers and some are with red onions which makes a nice mix because the peppers can make the chicken taste corny, also used the sauce on these
• got some lettuce under the kebabs
• got some sticky sweet ribs on the side of the plate there too - they were very nice
• and some chips, I found my self using the sauce for them as well
• and some bread from the deli
• and some lovely tomato salad which was tomatoes and red onions

friday's post

Dinner 7.15PM

• got some lovely sausages there
• some very sweet peppery gravy on top of them - now i've stopped adding salt to my food I can really taste sweetness properly, its not even that much of a good thing though
• lovely baked potato again
• and some green beans from the garden, some all cut up and some left whole - I think this is one of my favourite ways to have them because I can leave some of the beans to the end of the meal - or eat them at the start - whilst I have the cut up beans to eat with the gravy and sausages

thursday's post

Dinner 6.50PM

• thats a lovely piece of chicken, hidden in bits of bacon, mushroom and red pepper
• the sauce was very nice, it was a kind of sweet soy sauce thing
• also got some of that nice yellow saffron rice there, with some yoghurt and chives on top of it which I ended up trying to mix onto the chicken but it didn't really work properly
• in the bowl on the left there are green beans from the garden, some are diced in that really fine manner and some are a lot thicker, I really like having the mix and having them on the separate plate, its takes a moment more thought to think about considering them when you're eating the rest of the meal though

wednesday's post

Dinner 6.50PM

• this is one of my mum's meals, thats swedish inspired meat balls which I always like, they're all pork instead of the beef and pork mix
• got some kind of potato gratin made with potatoes from thew garden there too, this always seems to stay hot for too long which is nice because I like to savour it
• also got some green beans from the garden which I ate quite quickly
• and some carrots, haven't had carrots cut like that in a while

tuesday's post

I went for a curry with my parents because it was their wedding anniversary, very nice of them to take me along
This was my first time going out for a curry and it was very different, I wish I could remember the name of what I had or what region it was from but I didn't even bother trying to pronounce it, I just said the number it was on the menu

Dinner 7.40PM (maybe)

• started with some poppadoms, they were very nice, and very different from the ones we have at home, they were darker and tasted maybe more corny in flavour - they were served with some kind of raita, some kind of onion sauce thing and a chili sauce which was my favourite, it really was nice
• for a starter I had some very nice lamb pieces with a tangy kind of loose curry sauce in a separate little egg cup sized dish, this was lovely and maybe the highlight of the meal for me, we also got more of the raita and chili sauce with that part of the meal
• I had a spicey chicken curry for my main, it was with peppers and onions and I really really enjoyed it but there was just too much of it, I didn't think i'd ever have to say it but I was given just too much food, felt kind of bad about leaving something as well
• with it we shared a portion of pilau spicey rice, I didn't see why we'd share rice but when I saw the size of the curry portion I got it, the rice was very nice too but I didn't need it at all
• also had some naan bread that had caramelised red onion in the middle which was another highlight of the night, it was also lovely and buttery
• I also had two cokes with the meal, which was lovely, I can see how people can get used to having coke with an evening meal

monday's post

Dinner 6.50PM

• thats lovely spaghetti bolognese with a mix of beef and pork mince
• I ended up putting a shed load of pesto on it, in about 3-4 helpings, a little bit on top, then mix that through, then two fair amounts, mix that all up, then a little that was left on the spoon, I think I should stop doing this but I love doing it

sunday's post

Dinner 7.40PM

• thats some roast lamb which was very nice
• with some mint sauce, which was mainly made with mint from the garden but with some mint sauce from the jar for the consistency
• some beans from the garden which I always like
• got gravy before and after there too
• and some carrots
• and some potatoes from the garden that my mum did with flour like she would for normal potatoes, i'm not sure which I like best with these tiny potatoes but I am a fan of these because they are so crispy
• some yorkshire puddings there too

saturday's post

Dinner 6.40PM

• this was a lovely meal, proper a-level celebration meal
• thats a very nice bit of steak with red peppers and mushrooms on top of it - I really like having mushrooms with steak I think, it took me some getting used to but its one of my favourite things now
• got some green beans from the garden which I mainly had first
• some onion rings
• some lovely chips
• some bread from the deli that I saved to the end to have after i'd had
• that salad which was spring onion, tomato and cucumber
• the salmon over there is my mum's dinner, she doesn't tend to eat a great deal of meat and I don't know really how much I like salmon
