Happy Monday campers! Did you have a lovely weekend? We were pretty quiet here, but last night saw the inaugural barbecue of the year which was quite exciting - D cooked whole red snapper and clams in foil parcels and we served it up with potato salad, tomato bruschetta and a generous handful of peppery green leaves. Fabulous stuff.
This week we seem to have developed a bit of social life, with the result that we are potentially out for three of the seven evenings. What madness is this! Next Sunday also remains unplanned; another barbecue might be nice but, equally, we might not be up for anything other than lying around and dunking biscuits in tea. So, only three meals to disseminate:
Dover sole with shrimp butter, cucumber and a lemon and caper crumb
Spaghetti bolognese (50/50 spaghetti and courgetti - yes, I still love my spiraliser!)
Fresh soup (type TBC)
Not desperately exciting stuff, is it? Still, it makes a change for us to actually be out and about.
Have a great week everyone, happy cooking (and eating!)
Which spiraliser do you have? Is it any good? I keep looking at reviews online but they are all really conflicting!
ReplyDeleteWe have a fairly basic one from Lakeland: http://www.lakeland.co.uk/19736/Vegetable-Spiralizer
DeleteWe've used it on several different vegetables, including swede and parsnips and it has worked really well, despite looking like it might be a bit flimsy.
What are your thoughts on potato salad? Mayonnaisey or no?
ReplyDeletePx
My current favourite is not mayonnaisey but uses just oil and mustard and lemon BUT as long as the mayonnaise is good I would never say no. I hate supermarket potato salad though where you end up with that horrible, vinegary muck ruining good potatoes. It has to be decent mayonnaise, preferably homemade, if you're going to have it.
DeleteOh agreed! Shop bought potato salad is ghastly.
