Ok, so I've been away the past week and am only just properly catching up!
Quick rundown of my recent meals:
Monday: my friend made us pasta with courgettes, bacon and cheese sauce- yum!
Tuesday: our other friend made us pasta with a spicy tomato sauce, rosemary and chorizo- yum!
Weds: we had a BBQ for my friend's birthday, I had a lamb steak and lamb kebabs and lots of coleslaw that I made for everyone
Thurs: we went out for an Indian meal for our last night. I had a starter of prawns fried with shredded mango, chilli and garlic with a mango sauce, and then prawn bhuna, peshwari naan and pilau rice. YUM!
Fri: I got back in the afternoon and felt absolutely rubbish so couldn't cook. I ordered a curry to be delivered lol- chicken dansak, dahl, pilau rice and popadoms. YUM!
Last night me and Steve had a mini-BBQ for 2- I had steak and lamb ribs, plus coleslaw, and Steve had a burger, sausages and salad. We sat shivering outside with the bunnies running around. It was also the end of our BBQ that fell apart
Tonight I was feeling rough yet again and didn't feel up to cooking and Steve wanted to treat me because he'd missed me while I was away so we went to Pizza Express. BIG mistake! We waited over half an hour for our starters, with no apology or asking if we wanted to order another drink or something while we waited. Steve's garlic bread was basically undercooked dough, but the waitress took our empty plates and ran so we didn't get chance to complain. Then we saw our pizzas come out of the oven (they have an open kitchen) and sit on the side for 10-15mins before the waitress bothered to go and collect them, so naturally they were stone-cold when they got to us. Even underneath the pizza wasn't even slightly warm! We sent them back with a complaint, and the manager came over to say that because our pizzas had thin bases, and mine had rocket on, they would naturally go cold quite quickly. I pointed our that Steve's had only cheese on, and also that we had seen them sat there for 15 minutes so that was why they were cold. She didn't even apologise! Although did give us another free drink on the house. We finally got our pizzas and they were burnt :grumpy:
Tomorrow I will begin my cooking again and make something really nice to make up for all this takeaway and restaurant food I've been eating! Yes I will!
