Susie and Orbit's daily dribble

[ladyfelsham]

Evening lovelies - didn't get around to as much cooking as I thought - but just made courgette lasagne with homemade roasted tomato pasta sauce mmm (thanks to Hugh F-W for the pasta sauce recipe). The only pre-made item was the lasagne sheets, so am feeling quite smug. Not bad for a woman who two years ago lived off ready meals - and the kitchen smells divine

Going to make more pasta sauce tomorrow for aubergine parmigiana, and maybe make up courgette and mushroom bread. The vegetarian cooking adventures continue

Evening Susie... Yum food... You're becoming a really great cook - well done! Hope it's all delicious!! Xx

 

[ladyfelsham]

Thanks hun - I am really loving the cooking (as usual, the only complaint is not enough space), there are so many brilliant recipes out there that I'm dying to try - and hopefully the tasting will be as good as the making I spent more on my shopping this week buying all organic fruit and veg, but it's worth it to know there are no sprays or chemicals in my fodder

Not very hungry at the moment, will bake the courgette later. Am just chilling out with a white wine and Classic FM, the heating is on, Orbit is snoozing on her penthouse bed, and all is well. All together now - ahhhhhhh

 

[hondapeeps]

Gee! That all sounds amazing, when do you want me over? xx

 

[ladyfelsham]

LOL any time love!

Don't know why I bought aubergines, actually, I'm not sure if I like them - but maybe a bit of experimenting with a couple of recipes will sort that out.

I keep getting up every 5 minutes and looking in the fridge and giggling - it's so full of stuff! I can even make stupendous salads now, with asaparagus, peas, beans, you name it, it's here And I look at the ingredient lists for recipes and think "Yep, got that, got that, got that too..." hehe. Just call me Julia Child - bon appetit!

Eggplant Dip (Mutabal) - Healthy Recipe Finder | Men's Health here ya go, though I would say this isn't how I remember mum making it....but worth a try

 

[ladyfelsham]

Thanks Honda, will give it a try - and good morning everyone. I'm up early (for me), waiting for my lovely foot doctor to arrive.

The birds are singing, the sun is shining, laundry is on and all is good

Have a good day all.

Evening all - I ended up making aubergine parmigiana (didn't have any tahini for the hummus) and OMG it was lovely - not at all as fiddly as I thought and the aubergine was like meat in a way.

My baking dish makes four big slices, and I had no room in the fridge for leftovers - so of course Ms Piggy had two pieces The rest is squeezed into the freezer - and I'm not going to think about all the oil in it - that aubergine doesn't half soak up the stuff!

Just doing food for tomorrow - pineapple, raspberries and greek yoghurt for brekkie; a big salad for lunch - asparagus, peas, red pepper, spinach and lettuce, with lemon and ginger dressing (and a sneaky slice of organic wholemeal bread).

Can't believe the weather forecast, enjoy the sunshine while you can!

 

[Alpaca]
