Thought i'd share as im pretty sure people will be shocked.

Im eating leftovers from a Chinese i ordered with a friend on Saturday...its Tuesday.

It was fine and no rice was consumed.

I am now sick to death of chinese food and wont be ordering it again anytime soon!!!

Go on whats for dinner ?

--- reason i think people will be shocked, because ive seen the iconic "pearl clutchers" discuss chinese leftovers previously. Im not unreasonable it was good !!!

Marinated salmon, rice and green veg. We’ve eaten a lot of stodge the past few days so fancied something lighter and fresh.

Tacos! I have never made them before because I didn’t see the point but I was bored of our usual weekday stuff

They were great, although ended up being a bit more like loaded nachos in the end (as ds has lost his front teeth so I had to smash up the tacos as he can’t bite them, and then they went cold so I had to grill them and the cheese melted…)

My pork steaks or chops are always like shoe leather so stopped cooking them. How do you keep them tender and juicy
