Wednesday 24th March - Pasta




Tonight was a quick supper, I took a wee craving for pasta this afternoon and Richard was happy enough with that! So pasta went into boil, I got a stir in sauce from the fridge that had been lurking there for a couple of weeks, and in ten minutes it was ready to eat!

I have a thing for rocket at the moment, so I piled my bowl with that, threw in the pasta and topped with a wee bit of grated cheese and plenty black pepper, that I am still using up from the steaks on sunday!!

Sunday 21st March 2010 - Steak



Being down in the town centre on Saturday afternoon we stumbled on what we thought was a new butchers, when we asked how long he’d been there he replied “2 years!” oh well not that new, but new to us!

We bought 2 lovely sirloin steaks which we had planned to have on Saturday night but you have already read what delights I had instead, Richard wasn’t much better he had a bag of nuts!




So having to use them up it turned into Sunday nights dinner! I simply cooked them on the griddle pan, and accompanied them with some onions and mushrooms fried with some low fat cheese and peppercorns, which I bashed up myself in the pestle and mortar. I think I over did it on the peppercorns my nose was running by the end of eating it, but at least it cleaned out the old sinuses!
