What’s for dinner tonight?

[TrueDat]

We’re lucky enough to be enjoying a lovely sunny Saturday, so will be having home-made burgers with all the trimmings and a few ice cold beers.

What’s everyone else going to be enjoying this evening?

Pimms & nibbles, then hot smoked salmon salad with beetroot and carrot in a honey and mustard dressing, with strawberries and clotted cream for pudding. 🍓 🍓 🍓

Spinach and cheese gnocchi with chicken, garlic bread and cheese sauce.

Amuse-Bouche:
Compressed watermelon with whipped feta, micro basil, and a balsamic reduction pearls.

Starter:
Foraged wild garlic velouté with a quail egg and truffle foam.
(The garlic was picked locally on a morning walk with my forager friend from Pilates.)

Main:
Sous-vide venison loin with a celeriac purée, port reduction, and a shard of burnt hay-infused tuile.
(Serve with heritage carrots in three textures.)

Palette Cleanser:
Champagne granita with elderflower mist.
(Mist table-side from an atomiser I bought at an artisanal perfumery in Copenhagen.)

Pudding:
Deconstructed Black Forest gateau with cherry gel, chocolate soil, and kirsch espuma.
(Each element plated exactly 1.5 inches apart.)

Petit Fours & Coffee:
Handmade matcha truffles and single-origin espresso in mismatched vintage demitasse cups.
(I just think it’s more charming when it’s not too perfect, don’t you?)

Pork chops, veg and apple sauce.

Fried egg and hash brown sandwich with a bowl of angel delight for after

Husband came home with a duck, so that’s what we’re having. With cherry sauce and roast potatoes, apparently.

Where are you in the country (rough location)? I'm just outside NE London and it's been a lovely sunny but breezy 25⁰ !

I had a lovely roast veg lasagne that I made using various stuff I had in the fridge. Roasted some peppers/red onion/courgette and mushrooms in the air fryer and added some Arabiatta sauce I’d got in the freezer. Layered it up and topped with some cottage cheese topped with cheddar as cba to make cheese sauce, it was delish with salad.

Hope it’s Awaze Tibs! Stunning 🤤

Yum, I am very jealous of some of these!

We're having pasta bake with veg and garlic ciabatta, when the baby eventually goes to sleep!

@ninjahamster hope you're ok.

We had a pub lunch. And I had a pint of cider. Very full after. So dinner was oatcakes, cream cheese and a lovely spicy tomato chutney. And white wine. Feel like I need a snack now.

We've had Agra Ginger Chicken (Me) and House Lamb Curry (DH) from the Mowgli cook book. I'm not keen on lamb in curry but DH loves it hence me making two dishes. Should get top wife points for that! Sides of rice and Tesco Nan Bread. Mowgli Angry Chicken thighs in the oven for DH for work.

I found something in the freezer that I thought was some sort of tomato based pasta sauce, it turned out to be Thai red curry.

Been out all day. Cricket training with younger foster son this morning. Spoons breakfast. Straight on to elder foster sons cricket match. Had a nice picnic. Takeaway stuffed crust pizza on the way home for dinner. Foster sons shower then younger one just going to bed now. Tomorrow we have elder foster son playing in a county game miles away so yet another cricket packet weekend. At least it has been sunny and I didn't have to cook tonight.

Chinese takeaway here, with lots left over for lunch tomorrow 😋

Cheesy chips with spicy chicken. Super late as we’ve been out all day, I’m so hungry, 16 mins to go!

We had a spontaneous BBQ- sausages, burgers, souvlaki style skewers, home made sweet potato fries, salads and lots of bread!

We had the same but with the crispy chicken. Really enjoyed it.

🤣🤣🤣 is this a pisstake

Toasted tiger bread sandwich with two eggs fried in butter and some ketchup. And a green smoothie. It was lovely.

Northern Ireland! A high of 14 degrees and relentless rain.. even for us this is a particularly bad June 🙈

Linda McCartney mozarella veggie burgers, McCain french fries and home made coleslaw, tomatoes and gherkins.

Them linda McCartney mozzarella burgers are amazing. I'm not even vegetarian and love them

Hot dog and curly fries

Minestra di riso (rice in broth)

Then a hot chocolate pudding pot while watching TV.
