Saturday night's dinner was a lasagne made with the home-made pasta dough left over from Friday. I filled with onions, leeks, garlic, courgette, tinned tomatoes, and spinach, and put an egg and a dollop of mustard in the sauce with the cheese, so it was really tasty.
 
Made individual red-sauced pizzas on naan bread - no arguments about toppings that way. Hubby's was meats and onion and stuff; mine had a bit of prosciutto, fresh tomato, black olives, red bell pepper bits, fresh mushrooms. Divided the last of the fresh mozzarella before it spoiled. Another goat-cheese-stuffed, prosciutto-wrapped fig each.

"Dessert" much, much later was a bit of vanilla ice cream with a couple heaping teaspoons each of hot fudge topping and homemade fresh cherry sauce.

It's a couple of years since I used naan bread as a pizza base. If I remember correctly, it was very nice. The heart shape wasn't intentional.

Home-made Asian style spicy sausages (I'm off to google a sausage making machine - these took far too long to make by hand)! These are the raw sausages.

Sunday's supper was grilled chicken seasoned with an African Smoke Seasoning blend, crushed potatoes seasoned with The Spice Houses's Florida Lemon Pepper seasoning, and steamed fresh broccoli/carrots/cauliflower, plain. I also had hubby grill two additional huge chicken breasts, each with a different seasoning, for suppers the next two nights.

Butter prawns.

I originally thought I would call them hot butter prawns but I reduced the chili somewhat for no particular reason. They were creamy, rich and very tasty. I couldn't eat them every day.

Served with aromatic yellow Jasmine rice and a boiled egg.
