You're welcome Lia!
While I don't know exactly where you are located over there, I can tell you that in Manchester, there is a place called Tiger Tiger, now I am thinking there was a shop next to that which carries hard to find American goodies too.

South West, where the climate is much kinder, lol. But thanks for the thought pg. :smile:
 
Oven bbq chicken with cuke, onion and pepper salad.

Hear that Murph? BAKED/ROASTED.. not fried ;)

I basted it with Sweet Baby Ray's toward the last 1/2 hour.
The salad is simply mandolin sliced cucumber, onion and red and green pepper marinated in oil,vinegar ( a pinch of sugar) and black pepper.

Awww much better PG. I baste mine the last 30 minutes with BBQ sauce and water mixed 50/50 cutting down on carbs. Still taste just as good. Well almost. Eating healthy sucks let me tell ya.
 
I am thinking the SBR would also taste just as good diluted, that's some thick and spicy sauce!
I know eating healthier sucks.. eating LESS sucks as well.
I am still at fruit only in the morning, and dinner, and I've lost 20 lbs since the surgery.
 
Chicken Dopiaza..

Bad pics, bad meal.

Note to self: scratch curries off the list for now.

Wasn't a good idea..although I would have loved having a giant naan to go with it..

Ugh!
Pass the Pepto!

Almost made beef bourguignon for my company today (didn't have any 'shrooms or bacon), but the beef stock and wine were there.:alc::biggrin:

now that looks like a meal! The secret to eating healthy is to take the pills they tell you to! That way the docs are happy and so am I. My last cholesterol etc. was marked perfect. Wife flunked hers bad! She needs to start eating sausage gravy and biscuit once in a while!:whistling:
 
Those whipped potatoes are made with nothing more than lite chicken broth, Bill.
I would image the beef tips and veggies aren't too high in calories either, as all it is, is the beef, some red wine, tomato sauce, beef stock and of course the vegs with some added herbs.
As for the buttermilk biscuits, well.. lol
 
Man, I miss my sprouts! They are high in vitaminK and mess up my INR levels so I seldom have them anymore. Got a few growing in the greenhouse but wife plans to give them away. I always liked them being the last thing to harvest in the fall.
 
Vidalia onions are in, so I made Freedom Onion Soup, and a big salad. The soup looks kind of pathetic because I don't have broiler bowls, and baguette is off the menu for me, but it tasted good...

Kiddo and I had some great grilled pork chops tonight. I am a grilling fool when I have to cook for us like this. I did not realize how much I actually like to cook since I have never had to.... I really need to get over to NCT for help and ideas...:biggrin:
 
Just tried this and love it...Fried Platain !!

Take ripe Platains and fry them in Palm oil with a little salt and pepper . Talk about good !!!!!!Fry them until crispy brown . Its like a hot dessert .I suppose a person might be able to use bananas too .
 
I made some hamburger patties-then covered them in a mixture of Knorr brown gravy, worcestershire sauce and a little chopped onion.

Chopped asparagus, steamed and drizzled with butter and a squeeze of lemon, and mac and cheese (made with cubed Velveeta stirred in while hot with a little milk).

Forgot to post this last night. Western ribs cooked slow on the grill. Calico beans and pan fried potatoes, and fresh sourdough baguettes to push it all around with.

Mother's Day Dinner.

We started with French Onion soup...

P1020680.jpg


and I made the two spatchcocked chickens in the smoker. It was a very cool and windy here today, and the chicken never got past 130F. So after 2-1/2 hrs, I just put them on a baking sheet and finished them in the oven in 45 minutes. Had a beautiful smoke line in the chicken, and a delicious hickory flavor enhanced by the Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce.

We had beans & taters left from yesterday, and our first corn-on-the-cob of the season.

Finished off the meal with fresh apple pie and vanilla bean ice cream.

Bob Evans brand savory sage sausage, cut into slices and pan fried--whipped taters and snap peas.
'twas a nice comfort meal on this cold and rainy evening in Ohio.

Pork steak semi-smothered in onions and Heinz 57, baked for an hour at 350, and mac and cheese made with a simple roux- whole milk and sharp cheddar.
