Left over fusion chicken tandoori masala.
Tried to make it look a bit closer to original before posting the recipe.
Was OK, but I overdid it a bit

Butter chicken (murgh makani) with rice. Made it myself of course.
I thought about making that tonight but something came up.

I'm currently filling the freezer for the weeks ahead when I won't want to cook properly. Today a made a batch of leek and potato soup, this is in the freezer next to the several portions of beef stew, and pots of generic ragu/ beef mince/ unspiced chilli I made before. Add in two big bags of Ikea Meatballs, three bags of Aldi scampi (it's the best) and a load of sausages and pies from the butcher, I am almost done.

I've been craving salads lately, yours looks so good! My DH loves blue cheese, I am not a fan so I would do ranch instead. We had salads last night for dinner with chicken and bacon.
Tonight we are having beef and barley soup using filet mignon scrap from the last time I bought a whole tenderloin. I will put carrots, celery, onion, and potatoes in it and then add the barley near the end. I have the filet in the crockpot (AKA slow cooker) now.
Must try it. I know SandwichShortOfAPicnic is partial to scampi too but don't know if she lives anywhere near an Aldi.

So I think I remember that over in the UK large prawns are called scampi, is that correct? Here in the US it's a specific dish of large prawns/shrimp with a lemon, butter, and garlic sauce:

Well sort of. It's supposed to be langoustine but somehow I doubt what you can get from supermarkets is that. They are breaded and supposed to be deep fried I think. But the supermarket variety pops into the oven from frozen.
Example. Says they are langoustine: https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/313000026
One opened nearby last year
But sadly I have to buy the only gluten free version thatās available and itās not much cop. Still worth eating but compared with the best wheaty variety itās not a winner!

Ah. I forgot the gluten free thing. Sorry... I was thinking the other day (whilst watching some cooking programmes set in America) that it might be tricky for you with your planned trip to the USA. It's difficult here too when eating out, I imagine.
I want to like blue cheese so much, but it just blows out my palette and is too overwhelming for me.
No worries
Yes I think it will be tricky but Iāll have my trusty pannier kitchen to fall back on. Iāve already checked they sell the right type of kettle in America!
