Dinner 6.50PM

I remember this being a lovely meal, thats a chicken kebab
some red onion
some cucumber
some lettuce
and some tomato
theres also some peanut satay sauce there which had some curry powder in it - this is one of my favourite sauces ever, its really rich and sweet but it also has an earthy taste to it
theres some tiger bread there too - this was fantastic with the left over sauce

2010-01-26T17:32:00.000-08:00

Dinner 6.50PM

this is another meal with dumplings that I really enjoy - I think I really love anything so filling

sunday's post

2010-01-26T17:24:00.001-08:00

Dinner 7.00PM

i can't really tell you why I didn't have a roast dinner, it was so long ago - I think my mum might have been away and she is the one who always cooks the roast
instead thats spaghetti carbonara which is probably the only way that I can think of that i'll eat a lot of egg
its the normal kind with bacon which I think is delicious

I remember this meal being just perfect
its fish fingers that I had with loads and loads of tomato sauce

friday's post

2010-01-26T17:17:00.000-08:00

it was a night out, I can't tell you quite what I had but i've got this funny feeling it might have even been a big mac with a friend's voucher book (wasn't bad at all)

Dinner 6.45PM

thats beans on fried bread
sausage patties (always take ages on these, one of my favourites)

thats a boneless lamb chop
and a little salad type thing that was beansprouts, onions and mushrooms - I seem to remember it tasting quite smokey as well

Dinner 7.05PM

roast chicken there

some green beans maybe from the garden
and some swede and carrot mash, the swede was from the garden and I think its really growing on me

Dinner 7.00PM

the standard pork and beef mixed mince spaghetti bolognese which I always love to have
must have had about 2-3 teaspoons of pesto on it too
and that bread was lovely, from tescos I think, really greasy and lovely - it was kind of like pizza, all tomatoey and cheesey

thursday's post

2009-11-04T13:52:00.001-08:00

Dinner 6.50PM

chinese pancake wraps there - always love these because of all the

Dinner 6.55PM

one of my dad's favourites here, lamb shank, it was a jamie oliver recipe I think - kind of tomatoey sweet tangy sauce, i'm not 100% set on this but its just because I haven't had it much

tomatoes
lime
a bit of chicken skin on the side
some cucumber
and yoghurt with chives in which I seem to remember having a lot of

tuesday's post

2009-10-25T11:28:00.000-07:00

Dinner 6.50PM

you know what, I really didn't like this, its rare I have something I don't like but i'm really not into these faggots and peas
the meat just didn't taste very nice, I think its all pork and offal - its kind of a shame I didn't like it
and the peas are those marrow peas and oh god I didn't get along with those, one of the worst things i've tasted in ages
mint sauce there
the chips were nice though

eating a bit early because I went out to the pub quiz (not like us boiz won or anything)
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

monday's post

2009-09-25T08:16:00.001-07:00

2009-09-17T15:20:00.000-07:00

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

2009-09-17T15:17:00.001-07:00

thats a chicken stir fry
thats noodles
and rice

wednesday's post

2009-09-17T14:55:00.000-07:00

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

2009-09-14T16:13:00.000-07:00

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

2009-09-14T15:54:00.001-07:00

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

2009-09-14T15:50:00.000-07:00

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

2009-09-14T15:49:00.001-07:00

I will now anyway

sorry about the lack of updates

2009-09-10T14:11:00.000-07:00

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

2009-09-06T16:10:00.000-07:00

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

2009-09-06T16:06:00.000-07:00

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

2009-09-02T17:55:00.001-07:00

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

2009-09-02T17:51:00.000-07:00

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

2009-09-02T17:42:00.000-07:00

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

2009-09-02T17:38:00.000-07:00

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

2009-09-02T16:47:00.000-07:00

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

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

Dinner 6.45PM

thats a very nice chicken curry, made using the rogan josh base that was used for the last curry which I really liked last time
instead of lamb, the meat was chicken so my mum would eat it
and instead of saffron rice, theres some sticky spicey rice instead
and theres some naan bread, still on that better tasting indian brand stuff and not the tescos stuff but I think we've got more of the tescos stuff in now

Dinner 6.40PM

this was a very nice dinner, for my a-level results day (too tired to go out in the evening, badman nuh sleep before) we ended up having the proper celebratory meal on saturday
thats a nice big pork chop with green peppers and some very sweet lovely onions on top of it
some green beans
just a little bit of broccoli
and some of that saffron rice with some spring onion, i took way too long eating my chop though so the rice was just a little bit colder than I would like by the time I got to it

2009-08-24T16:38:00.001-07:00

Dinner 7.05PM

thats some lovely meatloaf which I had with gravy you can see there, no before and after though
and some green beans from the garden
and some potato gratin made with potatoes from the garden, i'm not sure how to compare this with potato gratin made with our usual potatoes but its certainly lighter, maybe the flavour gets a little lost in the cooking

2009-08-24T16:35:00.001-07:00

on tuesday I went out for a pub quiz so I went to urban pie for dinner and had a lamb and rosemary pie for half price (after 5.00PM) and it was lovely

would have put more lamb and rosemary in it my self but for £2.00 its lovely

monday's post

2009-08-24T16:32:00.000-07:00

Dinner 7.10PM

this is a meal I really liked and so I ate really really slowly, making sure I got bits of sausage with bits of the
baked potato
I tended to eat the snow peas on their own
and I ate the broccoli mainly on its own, but tried to get a bit in with the sausage too

sunday's post

2009-08-24T16:28:00.000-07:00

Dinner 7.15PM

thats some perfect roast chicken
with a bit of skin there
and before and after for the gravy
the potatoes there came from the garden and they were very nice
got some green beans which came from the garden, they taste more substantial from the garden which is a lot nicer but it takes getting used to I think compared to the supermarket thing
got some carrots too
and some yorkshire puddings

saturday's post

2009-08-23T18:33:00.001-07:00

Dinner 6.50PM

this was a really special meal because its trying some new things, the main curry is based on a rogan josh mix from pataks, it was neck of lamb and it was absolutely perfect with onion and ginger paste in it
and the rice was lovely too, it was made yellow with saffron, i'm not sure if that gave it a slightly fuller taste, but it did taste slightly more crony which I like, theres also some crunchy fried bits of onions in there too and some little bits of spring onions
got mint raita there too, which I put on top of the curry on my plate
and a different kind of naan bread from usual, its an actual indian brand one instead of the normal tescos one and it takes some getting used to because its not instantly bready but its got a much better and more natural texture
theres some potato salad there too, but thats mainly for my mum's meal (she doesn't like lamb)
and some tomato salad with red onions which was nice
and some lettuce from the garden

friday's post

2009-08-23T18:27:00.001-07:00

Dinner 6.40PM

got some lasagna there which I always can't get enough of
and some garlic bread made of cut up mini baguettes which was nice because all the butter soaked in differently than it normally would and tasted wonderful with the lasagna
and some of my mum's mixed lettuce from the garden with next to no grit on it
and some tomato salad, I think the main herb on it was mint from the garden, lemon thyme as well maybe

thursday's post

2009-08-23T18:23:00.000-07:00

Dinner 6.50PM

got some pizza without cheese there, I meant to ask for some cheese on it but I forgot
its got some little prawns on it
some bacon
mushrooms
and onions, its still lovely without the cheese because the tomato taste shines through but i'm starting to think i'm missing something
some carrot salad there which I always like
and some of my mum's mixed lettuce from the garden, a bit gritty but its nice having different kinds of salad

wednesday's post

2009-08-23T18:19:00.001-07:00

Dinner 6.50PM

I could eat this one right now, its about half 2 in the morning right now, thats a bit of chicken in a lovely sweet and kind of sticky sauce, I think it was made with sweet chili and soy sauce
and some potatoes from the garden, I tried to mix them in mouthfuls with the chicken to try and stop eating things one by one and I think I really enjoyed doing it with this kind of meal
also got some lovely green beans all cut up there, can't remember the name for them cut up like that, tried to save some of the sauce for them because I hate the majority of them at the end of the meal

tuesday's post

2009-08-23T18:17:00.001-07:00

Dinner 7.00PM

got a stir fry there which I always like
with prawn crackers because I can use the prawn crackers as a spoon
in the stir fry theres chicken
snow peas
noodles
and rice
the sauce on this is a black bean one, theres some red pepper stuff and onions in there too I think

monday's post

2009-08-23T18:13:00.000-07:00

Dinner 6.55PM

this was a lovely meal, theres some ribs
and a baked potato
with some coleslaw, I tried doing that thing where you have the coleslaw with the potato but I really can't see the attraction with it at all, it tasted like you'd got potato dirt in my coleslaw and cold sour cabbage in my potato
some lettuce in a the cup
and some salad which was tomato, onion and cucumber
there some butter there too but I never really tend to have it

sunday's post

2009-08-23T18:09:00.001-07:00

Dinner 8.05PM

got lovely roast beef there
theres a before and after for the gravy and I also put a lot of horseradish on the meat but you don't get to see that
some green beans as well, i'm not sure if these came from the garden but I don't think so
and some carrots which did come from the garden, these are such a treat to have so small, they're kind of sweet but also they taste a lot more like a turnip than a carrot with some bites
some roast potatoes, they're from the garden
and some yorkshire puddings

saturday's post

2009-08-23T18:04:00.001-07:00

Dinner 6.45PM

got two burgers without top buns there, beef and pork mixed mince and a lovely piece of bacon on top
can't really see it but there in the top left bit of the picture is sweet chili sauce and theres bic hamburger relish on the right - they both went on top of the burgers in very large quantities
got some beetroot salad there, I don't usually go for it but it was lovely and sweet, not that usual very strong flavour
got some carrot salad as well which is always nice
some radishes which my mum grew
some mixed lettuce, I think this is the first of her grown lettuce on the blog, its very nice but its hard to wash off all the grit but the taste is worth it
some chips as well

friday's post

2009-08-23T17:15:00.001-07:00

Dinner 6.50PM

thats chili con carne, I like this meal but i'm still not sure of it
because I don't really go for the kidney beans, I think i'd love it if you could have about half as many kidney beans
the mince is a mix of pork and beef
and theres rice there too
and the cucumber there has some white wine vinegar on it
got some garlic bread there as well, nice and thick - made with a gregg's bloomer loaf I think

Dinner 6.50PM

thats one of my favourite meas, chicken and dumplings
also there is some potatoes from the garden which went very well because they weren't crunchy like the dumplings
and theres some carrots from the garden

tuesday's post

2009-08-15T17:34:00.001-07:00

I think I got up around 10.45AM but i'm not too sure

Dinner 6.45PM

those are chicken kebabas with bits of red pepper with some sweet chili sauce - I ended up putting more sweet chili sauce on, then having too much and then defrosting some bread to mop it up with
and there some lettuce
and a salad which was cucumbers which I think my mum's friend grew, tomatoes, radishes that my mum grew and she also grew the herbs but i've completely forgotten exactly what they were, I think one of them was parsley
that cheese on the left isn't mine

monday's post

2009-08-15T17:31:00.001-07:00

and theres some crackling
green beans (these might have been from the garden, i'm not sure though)
some carrots from the garden
some lovely little potatoes from the garden
and some yorkshire puddings
also got a before and after on the gravy there
and theres some crab apple jelly but I put that on after the photos

Dinner 7.45PM

thats a lovely boneless lamb chop
some garlic bread
some green beans
and some onions and red peppers that I tried to eat all with the lamb instead of on its own

friday's post

2009-08-15T17:18:00.001-07:00

I probably got up at about 10.50AM but i've got no real idea

Dinner 6.50PM

thats a piece of lettuce
some hash browns
and on the main plate theres some lovely ribs
and some very nice pork satay bits on top of some lettuce with some onion on it too

2009-08-15T02:55:00.000-07:00

sick of broken windows install si i'm just giving back and swapping over hard drives to my old windows to get all the posts done tonight

may not post for a few days now but hopefully post up some stuff tomorrow

2009-08-10T16:49:00.000-07:00

I can't get my bloody camera to connect properly to the pc so i'll have to fiddle with it tomorrow, with any luck its a 5 minute job

thursday's post

2009-08-09T18:21:00.000-07:00

I think I got up at about 10.55AM

Dinner 7.20PM

this was a brilliant meal, first thats the standard pataks chicken curry jazzed up with some other spices, got some mango chutney that went on top of it too
garlic naan bread
bits of chicken
with big potato wedge/chip things
and red peppers
with a salad that was some nice tomatoes and cucumber
if you're wondering what that mess in the top left is, its my attempt at making brownies but not having the right chocolate, instead of dark chocolate and dark brown sugar, I had light brown sugar and milk chocolate, it all stuck and didn't cook properly it was lovely in its own way - like a gooey milk chocolately then sometimes crispy chocolate soil

wednesday's post

2009-08-09T18:17:00.001-07:00

I must have got up at about 10.30 or something

Dinner 7.30PM

got spaghetti bolognese there which the usual mix of beef and pork mince which I also like
I put a load of green pesto on this as well, layering it all the way through and mixing it

tuesday's post

2009-08-09T18:13:00.000-07:00

I'm not too sure when I got up but I think it was probably somewhere around 10.40AM

Dinner 6.50PM

thats a lovely bit of gammon with those nice little bits of crackling/fat
some peas which are very nice with the fat
and some chips

monday's post

2009-08-09T18:09:00.000-07:00

I probably got up at about 11.00AM but i'm not sure at all

Dinner 7.40PM

thats pasta bake that was lovely and crispy on top
the vegetables were all grown by my mum or a friend of hers, I think the cucumber is grown by her friend but the tomato might be from the green grocers, i'm not too sure
the tomatoes, radishes, lettuce and herbs are all home grown - the carrots are probably the most interesting thing to eat home grown, they're a real treat whereas you might just not like different kind of lettuce

sunday's post

2009-08-09T17:48:00.001-07:00

I think I got up at about 10.45AM

Dinner 10.40PM

thats lovely roast lamb, had it after coming back from the pub so it'd been keeping warm in the oven, so the fat tasted even nicer than usual for some reason
got some yorkshire puddings there
carrots
potatoes
and lettuce
I had some very thick and lovely heated up gravy and then some mint sauce, usually theres a before and after for the gravy but I made a decision completely unrelated to the alcohol I had consumed on this sunday, to not take that picture

saturday's post

2009-08-09T17:43:00.001-07:00

Dinner 8.50PM

thats dirty rice, with the egg in there this time
some ribs in a lovely sticky sauce that was kind of tangy and sweet
prawn crackers

Dinner 6.55PM

pork kebabs with
red pepper
and some sweet chili sauce on them, I like the sweet chili sauce throwing off the red peppers
also got a lemon wedge there

some chips there too
and a salad which was lettuce
tomato
onion
and cucumber

thursday's post

2009-08-09T17:34:00.001-07:00

Got up somewhere around 5.45AM to go to london

Dinner 0.00AM

thats some pasta bake which my mum left for us for when we got back
its amazing having it like this, it was the usual pork and beef mince mix but it had a strange way of keeping really hot and crispy but very gooey inside when its in one of these little dishes for a while - really was lovely

wednesday's post

2009-08-09T17:28:00.000-07:00

I got up at around 10.50AM

Dinner 7.10PM

got some dirty rice there, but no egg in it because of my mother's vegan friend eating with us, I put a fair bit of light soy on mine
some braised chicken which I always love
some stir fried vegetables which were broccoli, onion and snow peas
some prawn crackers too
