Gorgeous Italian dinner at our favorite place. We were invited at the VIP table so I could be shielded from the other diners as the owner knows I am at high risk for Covid 19. It was great to be out for a while .

We had bruschetta with basil, tomato and parmesan cheese.

For dessert a simple but lovely dame bianca. We had a great time.

All looks delicious, I’m glad you enjoyed a great time outside for a while.
I always smile looking at our antipasti plates, because they are supposed to be only mouthfuls/bites of something just to calm down a bit the hunger waiting for the main course, but we have a tiny slightly different concept about quantities , so they often become as main courses.

Unfortunately my plans to cook "toad in the hole" went titsup so I resorted to the air fryer and frozen chips to save the day.

Pork and tomato sausage and chips.

Homemade tikka massala curry in my new curry dish. Recipe by Jamie Oliver from his food revolution book. I added a lot of veggies, he only uses tomatoes and onions.

It does make a lovely meal on it's own

Pan-fried sole with butter, thyme and juniper berries

Tonight's dinner will be roast butternut soup. I have just put some veal bones and a chicken back into the slow cooker with the usual suspects for stock. View attachment 48089

Made similar last week, but with added chopped sage. The two worked really well together.

 

[TastyReuben]

I do too. However, that smell can get less appealing over time. But, it is great while it is cooking.

That's the issue, really. Like the in-laws on a visit, the smell just doesn't want to leave. It still stinks in here!

Trying to work out what fish that is. Lemon sole?

30 minute indian butter chicken. I didn't feel like cooking so I wanted an easy recipe that didn't require marinating the chicken before. It tastes good but the cooking was a disaster with chicken flying on the stovetop, cream flying on the walls and losing my handkerchief during cooking, which mysteriously appeared after on the same place where I had looked for it. This was also my first time cooking butter chicken with heavy cream and I honestly prefer it with greek yogurt.

losing my handkerchief during cooking, which mysteriously appeared

Must have been a relief.

Decent cream is very difficult to obtain here so I always substitute yoghurt. However, my method takes far longer than 30 minutes. Excluding marinating (which I prefer overnight), I guess around 1½ hours.
