Chris you have me swooning.
Blimey.
Monday night I cooked for Mum and me.
Baked salmon marinated in garlic, ginger and soy sauce, served with salad leaves on a bed of
lemon, mint and parsley couscous. Mum wasn't that keen on the couscous ("the grainy stuff"), but didn't leave anything. I overcooked the salmon by my standards, but I know Mum is paranoid about anything undercooked. So I found it a little dry around the edges, but she declared the fish perfect.
Last night I had
spelt with roasted red pepper and onion. I had intended to eat it for two meals, but it was so good I polished it all off in one sitting. Greedy guts. Checking the nutritional values it wasn't too bad - not like having two roast dinners or two Big Mac meals for example. And still within nutritional guidelines for losing weight.
I will buy it again. Perhaps when I am cooking for Mum again. So that way I
can't trough the lot without scratching and biting.
NB, there was a supermarket discount on Ainsley Harriott (UK TV chef) dishes. They're good stuff. 'Cepting that they are generally packaged for two, which makes it hard to resist an eat-a-thon.
