Catching up here too.
Saturday I cooked some veggie side dishes - Korean style with a post marinade of garlic, soy & sesame. I did a zucchini eggplant combo, broccoli & a bunch of mushrooms I foraged last season and froze.
Then I steamed some prawn dumplings & panfried pork buns.
Served with a chilli crisp dipping sauce & a roasted sesame paste dipping sauce.
There’s enough of the veggie sides for work lunches & for the fam to upgrade their noodle bowls through the week.
On Sunday I made a big batch of tabouli & a batch of salsa verde & a double batch of hummus.
I made a garlic & preserved lemon rub and did 2 x whole chooks. Served with flatbread.
That’s gives us more stuff for work lunches and chicken to add to sandwiches & noodles.
I was too tired for pics.

Those were the days when the choice in the chippies was cod and chips or special (haddock) and chips. Nowt else. Not even mushy peas.
Oh, you could have salt and/or vinegar if you wished and free of charge scraps!
Edit: and the building is still there and still a chippy. Although it was called "Slinger's" in the 50/60s.

Yesterday was husband’s belated birthday celebration, so we had my parents, bro, and SIL over for dinner. Husband chose cabbage rolls with mashed potatoes for his birthday dinner, and creme caramel for dessert.
The cabbage rolls were delicious. Husband has been extremely gassy ever since, so it seems they were a success!

I made pork tenderloin and veggies fried rice, so good! No pics. It never looks as good as it tastes lol.
Mate of mine at uni was from Northallerton. He taught me the phrase 'Chips and scraps, Luv.'. I haven't used it yet.

I just went down that rabbit hole. Interesting read.
My favorite for British fish and chips is haddock. I also love my Southern US catfish and chips. Catfish is also a white, flaky fish, but fried Southern style, one would use a cornmeal breading instead of a batter.

If I remember correctly (which I rarely do), cod was six pence and chips were thrupence. Haddock would have been a couple of pence more than cod, I guess, and had to be pre-ordered. There were 240 pence to the pound Sterling in those days so you could buy 26 portions of cod and chips for a pound!

I used to be an absolute stickler for the tabouli I grew up eating in my Lebanese neighbours homes which is parsley, mint, spring onions, tomato, cracked wheat, lemon juice, neutral oil, salt & white pepper.
I’d see “tabouli” in take away places that had red capsicum, red onion, diced carrot & cucumber in it and scoff at the inauthentic version but as I got older and knew people from other Arab cultures I found out it’s eaten all over and it’s different all over too.
Yesterday I made a batch that included dill. After I had chopped the herbs I divided them. In one bowl I added lots of cracked wheat & pomegranate arils. In the other I added diced tomato, cucumber & brown rice.
A friend makes a version with chickpeas instead of grain and it’s delicious.

This version has cauliflower rice in it instead. I was seriously considering the addition of pomegranate because it seemed to be jumping out at me as needed.
It's also cucumber, red onion, tomatoes, a red pepper that needed eating, tomatoes, 2 spring onions that were left over from last week, loads of mint and parsley, lemon juice, oil and salt & pepper. I basically went raw. It's been very hot here and way too hot to cook rice or wheat unless I got the outdoor stove up and running which I didn't fancy.
Photos coming up next.

Sort of avoiding cooking. Saturday was the hottest day of summer to date and today wasn't far behind it, so cold food it was and I did my best to avoid cooking at all with a raw Tabbouleh made using cauliflower rice instead of rice or wheat/freekah etc.
