Dinner party at my place. I think we managed to introduce two single people to each other that actually seemed mutually interested in each other.
Starter of salad with feta, grapes, and candied walnuts and pecans, as well as homemade melba toast with homemade duck liver pate. Main of Txuleton steak, air fryer oven fries, sauteed spinach. The steak sauces were stilton butter pulled out of the freezer because it's our typical rescue for blue cheese near it's use by date , chimmichurri and a scotch bonnet salsa one of the guests brought as a hostess gift. Dessert was creme brulee made with 2% milk, sugar and eggs. The other hostess gift was a great kit for making my favourite Indian dish of bhel puri chaat.

I can't upload a picture, but I really enjoyed what my husband made me today. He took a tortilla, added 1 tbs of nacho sauce, fried onions, boiled potato chunks, crumbled bacon, and a slice of tomato. I hope you try it.

Grilled lamb chop, mashed new potatoes (skin on), salad of arugula, fennel, olives & tomato spritzed with olive oil. Dessert of So Delicious unsweetened vanilla coconut yogurt w/white dragon fruit and a bit of maple syrup as it needed a little bit of sweetening. I don't have dessert very often because I find most things too sweet but this turned out to be quite satisfying in the hot weather where I am.

Bhel puri chaat as a starter made from the "kit" assembled by one of my dinner guests last night with all the harder to find ingredients such as tamarind and mint chutney's, a pomegranate, and a ready mix of the mamra (=spiced puffed rice) and sev (=spiced fried chickpea noodles). I just needed to add finely diced red onion, tomato, coriander, ginger and a squeeze of lime.
Main of pan fried hake on a bed of warmed up tinned beans with last night's leftover spinach and topped with leftover chimichurri accidulated with extra lime to go with fish. We didn't have any shellfish bisque in the freezer for the beans so the broth was watered down instant lobster bisque with a dash of instant dashi powder, and a few drops of Chinese oyster sauce and Vietnamese fish sauce.

Curry w/grass fed beef, snow peas and onion over brown rice/millet ramen.
After making chicken curry a few days ago I came to the conclusion that I don't like curry that much. My partner loves curry so this dish was his attempt to show me that it's not curry I dislike but rather chicken. I think he's right as I liked this version fine.

Your lazy meals look so good to me! Just the way I love to eat. Simple ingredients. Simple preparation.5 -
@corinasue1143 Thanks. I buy quality ingredients and make simple things most of the time. I often take advantage of pre-washed/pre-cut vegetables. Saves a lot of time. Most more elaborate dishes would be too caloric for us on a regular basis.3

We did a Costco run this evening so picked up their already cooked St Louis ribs and I made a quick slaw as a side. Last time we got the ribs they were too salty but thankfully they weren't tonight. Otherwise they were tender and juicy like they should be.

I’ve made a number of different veg based flatbreads from her site and they’ve all been great.
The calorie count worked out at 82 cals per flatbread for me since I got 10 out of the batter. 😊

Those sound good and easy. I don’t have any chickpea flour, but I assume it’s easy to find?
May try these soon.1 -

It's also known as besan flour. If your regular supermarket doesn't have it, an Indian grocer or health food store will have it. Naturally it will be cheaper at the Indian grocer.0 -
It's been crazy busy at work so have only been doing quick and easy meal on weeknights. Copycat air fryer KFC thighs, copycat mac and cheese, over roasted frozen asparagus.

Takeaway seafood boil. I ate half. Tomorrow I will have a delicious if very messy lunch.

You may also see it as ‘Gram Flour’. It’s all the same stuff - I’ve been using it for a long time and I don’t know what I’d do without it!0
