Thai take out

Thai green chicken curry 

Yummy lunch

Making lunchtime sandwiches - chutney, rocket, goats' cheese

Stacked up and ready to munch on 

Mushroom risotto

River Cafe wild mushroom risotto recipe. Halved the amount of butter needed this time, which seemed to cause no harm to the recipe, and doubtless less harm for the eaters. 

Dinner with a friend

Olives and feta-in-chillis to start with. Chillis always make me hiccup loudly, so I can't eat them in public, but enjoy them at home.

Followed by River Cafe carbonara and rocket

With plum crumble to finish 

Carluccios on a Monday night

Prosecco and olives to start

Followed by a mixed starter

With Pollo a la Milanese for a main course 

Noodle tea

Cooking noodles and courgettes. I experimented with the courgettes, stir-frying them, and then adding a little soy sauce, sesame oil and chilli sauce and cooking down.

It worked really well - the courgettes ended up all gooey and spicey, with a little crunch still in the middle. 

Sunday lunch

Was that wrong? 

Saturday dinner

Lazy chinese while watching a film. Crispy duck to start

Beef with water chestnuts & cashew nuts, and sweet & sour king prawn balls to follow. 

Saturday lunch

Cheese on toast 

Pasta for tea

Making a pancetta, sage, parmesan and cream sauce

To go with some otherwise fairly bland filled pasta 

Veg Box

Vaguely disappointed by the return of a bag of an unidentifiable green thing. Whatever they claim, they all taste a bit like cabbage. Anyway, potatoes, onions, apples, oranges, kiwi, carrots and parsnips as well. 

Thursday dinner

Eating with colleagues while working. Various Finest* goodies - mushroom risotto, pizza, lasagne and salad shown. Many quality streets also munched. 

Salads

Slightly badly planned meal. Chestnut, spinach and pancetta salad in an amazing sherry vinegar and mustard dressing

Followed by a Vietnamese steak salad. Good, but a bit too much salad in one meal! 

Unoriginal dinner

Borough market again this morning, so two sirloins from The Ginger Pig

With lambs lettuce and goose-fat-fried potatoes.

Potatoes were Red Duke of York heritage potatoes, also from Borough market, and were ridiculously expensive, but ridiculously nice. Best potatoes I've had for a long time. 

Lamb

Roast lamb with a garlic sauce and roasted vegetables

Followed by caramel vodka 

Bellini and Blinis

Out for dinner at Baltic in Southwark. Cocktails to start.

With blinis, pickled herring, smoked salmon and sour cream 

Thai green chicken curry

Frying the chicken with veg

Adding stock, coconut milk, fish sauce and lime juice

Served with fragrant rice 

Welsh rarebit

Melting cheese with mustard powder, butter and ale

Grilled

Eaten with a herb salad
