I'm totally addicted to their Quarter Pounder with cheese.

Me too! I hate myself for eating proccessed food like that, but I just can't resist one every once in a while... The fries ARE the best too! We have supersize here, but it's not as big as you guys have over there I don't think...

Subway would have to be my favourite 'fast-food' place ever. I couldn't open my mouth properly for weeks after my wisdom teeth were out in May, and I still can't but as soon as I could open it a little bit wider, I had to have a subway! Wouldn't have been able to fit one in otherwise lol


Last night in the end I sliced the chicken breast open and folded it out like a book, then spread it with garlic and rosemary butter that I made, rolled it up, tied it with string and then coated it with breadcrumbs. and ovened it for about 20 mins. It's like a chicken kiev but I can't make them myself without the garlic butter falling out and that's the best part! This way the garlic butter stays inside

I had that with coleslaw that I made with the soya yoghurt- still tastes amazing! I'm getting quite famou for my coleslaw and I'm in high demand to make it for any friend's BBQ lol... My friends have named it 'Jen's Amazing Coleslaw'


Tonight I baked a gammon joint that we had in the freezer, and 15 minutes before the end I mixed honey with dijon mustard and brown sugar, and poured it over the top. Had that sliced semi-warm with some garlic bread and made some vinigarette and tossed some little gem lettuce in it. A sort of summery tea for the ridiculous heat we've had over here recently!

Come now, I'm not that malicious!

Oooh, Jen, a bottle of Merlot and a wedge of Stilton... BAD!

Now, that IS mean! Red wine is going to be soooo tough, and having not had cheese for quite a while before my appt, I'm now at a stage of cheese craving.... Stilton= YUM!

I also used to have the odd glass of red wine a couple of times a week- wine is the only thing that doesn't make me feel terrible the next day even with a tiny amount since my glandular fever. It's particularly bad that I'd not had any for a good while before my appointment.... I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye!:cry1:

Tonight i'm making Kung Pao chicken. Its more of a kung pao chicken stir fry as I add a bunch of veggies(bok choy, baby corn, celery and red peppers) to it. I serve it over white rice.

One of my favorite meals, nice and spicy and easy to make

That sounds yummy! I've never made it myself, although I've had it in restaurants... do you have a recipe to share? :biggrin2:

Spicy sausage, scone, egg today at my friends, I haven't been at home for dinner in ages!

Its really easy.

-Cube up some chicken(I usually use 4 breasts)
-Then add whatever veggies you want. I usually do a can of baby corn, a couple sticks of celery, some mushrooms, and a red pepper. Cut into 1"chunks

For the sauce
-4 TBSP rice wine vinegar(I've also used cider vinegar and it was good)
-4 TBSP soy
-4 tsp sugar
-1/2 tsp chili flakes(or sambal chili paste) more if you want it hotter
-1/2tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp corn starch
-1/2 tsp sesame oil

Brown chicken in pan, then add veggies and cook until just starting to get tender. Add sauce and cook together for a few minutes. You want the veggies to still be crisp. Serve with some rice, or stir fry noodles.

Mmm I have to write down that kung pao chicken recipe! I'll probably try it with tofu and lots of veggies. I always make stir fry with tofu.

What is gammon? The sauce sounds good!

Recipe Please!

I have been looking for a good coleslaw recipe.

We had lasagna and salad for dinner. The lasagna was amazing and I made up the recipe myself! It was chicken lasagna. I layered lasagna noodles, spinach, ricotta cheese, chicken, pesto, mozzarella and a white sauce I made with butter, flour, milk, spices and romano cheese. It turned out incredibly well, if I may say so! Totally worth the ridiculous amount of time I spent preparing it (and then baking it, seriously took 2 1/2 hours- I think there's something wrong with the oven). Salad was our old but delicious standby of tomatoes with salt, a little sugar, olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

my fourth of july feast is going to be good!

we are having ahi tuna steaks, grilled lettuce, cheesy potatos, and strawberry shortcake for dessert!

yum!

 

[JimD]

BBQ ribs, coleslaw, & corn on the cob.

:biggrin2:

 

[BethM]

Jason grilled hot dogs (Nathan's, yum!), and I made coleslaw, potato salad (French style), and steamed green beans.

 

[SnowyShiloh]

I had to work until 11:30 tonight, so we didn't have a barbecue, but we did microwave turkey hot dogs and eat them with barbecue Kettle Chips and baked potato-potato salad (store bought). Kind of a lot of potatoes, but whatev.

Oh my gosh i forgot to post my recipe for my marinade!

Ok it does come down to taste which is a bit hard to describe,so i'll give it my best shot

3 Tablespoons oyster sauce

2 Tablespoons soy sauce

2 Tablespoons fish sauce....don't use to much of this cause it's very salty

About half teaspoon sugar

About teaspoon water

And a squeeze of lemon

When the marinade is done and everything is starting tocook then you put in about a quarter of coconut juice...NOT coconut milk...NOT coconut cream....use coconut JUICE

This marinade is good for chicken and pork chops....and you can also add more sauces to make more of a quantity.

now i just hope everything is right!

 

[cheryl]

I mean't to say what i had for tea tonight and i forgot

Well i had a yummy marinade chicken breast and on the side i made chopped up cabbage with choppedonion and bacon cooked in butter...i fried it on the hot plate.
