A little heftier dinner than usual tonight. Centerpiece is thawed leftover chicken marsala from our party over a week ago, with chickpea pasta shells (another pasta trial purchase we likely won't repeat - it's OK, just not great), marinara with embedded fresh zucchini, chopped tomato-veg salad with mozzerella pearls in a balsamic dressing. MFP estimates this plate at about 1182 cals, 79g protein, 46g fat, 112g carb (of which 22g is fiber, 27g sugar). Even though I had a lite lunch, I still bumped over my macro goals for the day. I'll declare this a "cheat day" and move on ...

Dinner party at my place. Starters of dim sum where the turnip cake looked a mess because the texture was too soft to slice into neat squares. Main of gai yang and sides of Thai cabbage with garlic and fish sauce plus a vaguely SE Asian salad made with cucumber, aubergine, cherry tomato and granny smith apple. Dessert was a lot food. I made a low fat cheesecake topped with cherry sauce. Guests brought an eclair bomb and a custard tart.

Quick mid week meal using batch cooked chilli con carne pulled out of the freezer. The rice was also from a batch cooked on the weekend warmed up in the microwave. Aji verde has been in the fridge for two weeks. Air fryer roast courgette was made fresh tonight.

An easy weeknight meal that didn't involve stuff in the freezer, but some sauces we had in the fridge. Air fried wings tossed in some tomato/tamarind sauce, air fryer roast potatoes, crudites dipped in ranch or blue cheese sauce.

Friday night we usually eat out as hubby thinks it makes the weekend feel longer. We went to a Sri Lankan soft launch.

It is interesting to see the shares here... what seems exotic/gourmet in imagination seems in reality to be regular eatings for people... if not learned in the home, discussions like this help introduce other options worth exploring. Ty for the shares (and time.)
Quick & easy on busy day - frozen meatballs, beans, jar sauce, grated parm... open, heat & eat. Except the nodles, those took a moment of futzing.7 -

We went to our favourite Nikkei restaurant offering 50% off food. Nikkei is the food of the Japanese diaspora in South America, predominantly Peru and Brazil. Think Japanese food that incorporates new world ingredients such as chillis, coriander and passion fruit. It can be worth subscribing to the newsletter of favourite restaurants. In London some offer discounts to regulars during slow months, typically January and mid summer.

Cooking at home on the weekend after eating out on Friday and Saturday. I did make use of a pork tenderloin roast that was cooked sous vide last month in an asian marinade and tossed into the freezer. I normally air fry the defrosted joint for 10 minutes to brown before carving and serving. Usually a strategy reserved for weeknights but I took the joint out of the freezer for Thursday but didn't get around to eating it because we were full from our starter. Sides of cucumber salad with store bought Japanese sesame dressing, a quick Chinese cabbage stir fry with garlic and fish sauce, and brown rice. There was a little of my misshapen Lo Bak Gao (Chinese turnip cake) which was too soft to slice into neat squares before pan frying. Looking forward to buying the right type of rice flour for making this which will hopefully lead to firmer, neater slices.
