Weekending 5th June 2009. It has got to week 4 of WWALW and I have already forgotton one night’s supper! I think that the only sensible way to keep this up is to start writing the post on a Saturday, save it as a draft and update it everyday.
Saturday
Ed was away, I had been hard at work sorting out the flat all day so I ordered a pizza in.
Sunday
I can’t remember what we ate and did not take a photo!
Monday
Warm garlically puy lentil salad with roasted beetroot, feta, and Dijon mustard dressing. Delicious. I cheated and used ready cooked beetroot which only took 10 minutes to roast.
Tuesday
A very quick supper of smoked mackerel, poached egg and cous cous – delicious and very simple. I usually hate poaching eggs, so was very pleased at how this one turned out.
Wednesday
We were away again, but had a lovely fish pie and peas.
Thursday
We had the June Daring Cooks Challenge (to be revealed on the 14th) with a dish of griddled asparagus with charred capers and balsamic vinegar.
Friday
BBQ – sausages, chops, burgers and butternut squash (which BBQs well) followed by the June Daring Bakers Challenge to be revealed on the 25th!
Your mid-week cooking certainly seems more adventurous than mine! I’m suffering dinner envy!
Monday, Tuesday and Thursday look and sound utterly heavenly to me! *sigh* I didn’t realise you could roast cooked beets! Do mean the kind that come wrapped in plastic and seem to have a bit of liquid around them? I’ve wanted to roast beets for so long but haven’t had the courage (fear of staining everything purple-red and not knowing how) and there not seeming to be many beets around (apart from the previously mentionned cooked variety). Could you send me a recipe? Pretty please? Thanks, Ix
