Ooh I could go for some of that! Buuutt...I'm dogsitting tonight so pizza has been ordered in!Originally Posted by Scheherazade
I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
Waiting for a winter to be done.
Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
In all that I could never overcome?
Venison stew, biscuits, and warm chunky applesauce
we only order pizza once a month, on payday and that is today... so I'll be having a pizza with garlic, paprika, olives, spinach and a whole lot of cheese... yummy yum

Piedmont pepper halves cooked in the oven & filled with tomatoes, garlic & anchovie.

For tonight for the main course: Fragrant duck breasts with wild rice pilaf.
Score criss-crossed lines into two duck breasts, skin on.
Rub in garam masala and fresh root ginger.
Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Heat oven 200C
Heat a heavy non-stick pan then gently fry the duck skin-side down for 10 minutes until the fat begins to run out.
Pour off the excess fat, halfway through.
Transfer to a baking dish and roast, skinside up for 10 minutes & leave to rest.
While the duck is cooking, melt butter in a pan.
Add cumin seeds & fry for 3 minutes.
Then stir in mixed basmati & wild rice for 3 minutes.
Pour over a half pint of veg stock, partly cover with a lid & simmer for 10 minutes.
When the rice is cooked and all the liquid has been absorbed, fork in sliced spring onions.
Slice the duck.
Serve with the rice.
A spoonful of chutney gives it that extra dimension as well.
Done once, its easy.
Bit like getting the hang of scrambled eggs, but another step up.
BBQ bio-tofu burgers stuffed with mushrooms, and stuffed mushrooms, I love mushrooms

okay a choice of one of these two things for dinner.
Chicken and Mushroom Arancini's (baked instead of fried)
or
Cheese and herb breaded Salmon escalopes on a bed of rice with Sweet Chilli sauce...

Had breakfast for dinner. Scrambled eggs, bacon and grits. I love grits!!

I should have made that, Lynne. I like grits too, but I like them sweetened a little with butter. Instead, I had leftover chicken made into a measely sandwich. Two nights ago I cooked chicken and stuffing; the stuffing was not a good idea; ever since then, I have felt sick. I put a minced clove garlic in the stuffing with fresh chives and parsley. Next time I will abandon the idea of the garlic. I could taste garlic for two days after; no lie!

Oh, go on then... What are "grits"?
Had smoked salmon, soft cheese and cucumbers with bread.

Eggs and pasta and cheese. I saw this dish on some cooking show and can't stop thinking about it.

Last night had rice and chicken in some kind of sauce followed by mellon balls, strawberries and red grapes.
Tonight, hoping to have tacos with salad and cantaloupe slices.
Why do we ball melon only?
