… Caesar Salad    For some reason I forgot to write about this one.  I cooked it, created a draft blog post, sorted the photos out but didn’t write anything.  It’s now two and a half months since I cooked it.  But I do actually remember a fair bit about it.  I cooked this for … Continue reading »

… White    So there’s not much to say.  This is a white smoothie.  It is white. It has milk and banana and almonds and a bit of honey.  It’s nice.  It’s very nice. I don’t even mind the banana.  The almonds make it taste lovely. And it takes no time at all.  I have … Continue reading »

… Wicked Mole Sauce, Rice and Veg So I’m moving to Bath in about five weeks.  I did a deal with my mum – I could store some of my stuff in her loft, if I board out her loft.  That’s what this weekend is about.  The loft has been boarded out, the first carload … Continue reading »

… Grilled Prawns and Noodle Broth  Ok so it’s been a little while since I cooked this.  Things I remember: 1)    It did taste really good.  The taste, the smell, the texture.  All very good.  2)    We eat all the squid balls and prawns and about half the noodley broth between the two of us. … Continue reading »

… Orange   I’m making porridge for breakfast this morning.  Having guests to stay makes me think about breakfast.  It’s a meal I never make for myself, brunch on a weekend is the best I can do, but when I am made to or make it for friends, I do really enjoy it.  However today … Continue reading »

… Grilled Peppers, Salsa, Rice & Beans    Tonight I’m cooking for my friends Pieter and Gavin.  This one seemed quite an easy meal to cook and I barley had to do any shopping for it. I get to use my new liquidizer again today, which means I’m just about beginning to feel justified in … Continue reading »

… Chicken Salad  It’s Saturday and I have my friend Tom and his daughter Maisie round for lunch.  This is a meal with bulgur wheat, which is something only introduced to me from cooking these 15 Minute Meals.  I do like it.  This meal required radishes.  A simple ingredient to buy.  Today I went to … Continue reading »

… Purple I have now become a fruit buyer.  Not that I wasn’t one before. But now I have specifically become a buyer of fruit from the reduced section.  I get home, bag it up, freeze it.  It seems it took one smoothie making experience to turn me in to this type of person.  This … Continue reading »

… Chopped Garden Salad    This is one of the meals I’ve looked forward to cooking from the start.  I don’t think I’ve ever cooked orecchiette before.  It was one of the store cupboard ingredients I bought before I started the project but has since sat in the cupboard (or actually wicker basket in my … Continue reading »

… Green   So I predicted that as part of doing this project I would buy a few bits of equipment.  And several pots, frying pans, a (too small) bamboo steamer later that has turned out to be true.  I very specifically predicted that this project would be an excuse to buy the liquidizer I … Continue reading »
