I'm dining out with friends at our local Italian Restaurant. I don't know what's on the menu yet but I hope there will be Gnocchi as I love that.

I thought the food forum might be the best place for this informative video link on fake blueberries in cereals.

Still got some stew left for tonight

Home made chicken kievs.

Got faggots tonight - decided to casserole them.

Chicken Jalfrehzi. Yum- made from scratch other than the red thai curry paste. I haven't got all the gubbins for that , nor the know how.

Sausage and chips tonight (Mrs Rebbonk is 'cooking').

I'll do a shepherd's pie tomorrow.

Did you have gnocchi Gladys?

Yes, Lex. It was scrumptious. I just can't get past it. I had it as a starter and this time it was with chicken breast pieces in a lovely creamy, herb and garlic sauce.

Wow, that sounds amazing!

That's why I can't get past it. They do it in various sauces. I don't eat tentacled species and am not good with fish but for those who do they say the squid or baby octopus version is to die for. I've done Moussaka tonight but worried it will be a bit of piste as I haven't made it before and haven't cooked aubergines for a very very long time. It tasted alright or the sauce did so I'll let you know.

Well, after a disaster with jacket potatoes last night, I'm doing a steak and onion pie tonight.

Mrs Rebbonk's mum is in hospital. Mrs Rebbonk was offered a lift up to the hospital. When she returned home she was a touch upset about things and wanted to go out. As ever, I obliged. Had to turn the potatoes off though and re-heat them when we came in. They just weren't right somehow. Dog was delighted though!

I'm sorry to hear about Mrs Rebbonk's Mum. I hope things improve for her and she is at the least very comfortable and they are caring for her well. I'm doing a quick fix tonight by way of tomato pasta . There's some Moussaka left but I'm afraid I didn't go much on the aubergine part of it so I'll pass on that.

Thanks Gladys. Mum's OK and reasonably comfortable. I believe she still has a dislocated shoulder to be sorted. Sadly, the relationship between her and Mrs Rebbonk is unlikely to improve.

Well, for tonight I intend redeeming myself with jacket potatoes, sausages and cheese sauce. (Picked up some pork and apple sausages in town yesterday and they look scrummy).

Ouch, nasty one that is.(Dislocated shoulder) Anyway, I hope the sausages etc do their magic. I am pondering on what we'll have. i have a distinct lack of enthusiasm for cooking at the moment. I think it'll be another quick fix so fajita's will probably be the one tonight.
Second thoughts, I feel the need for comfort food tonight as the storm builds outside. Its going to be home made chicken kievs, chips and peas.

Has anyone tried Bernard Matthews Turkey steaks? They're really quite tasty. Nice and quick if you don't want much fuss cooking. I serve them with lots of vegetables, spuds, leeks, carrots , swede and peas and oh yes, gravy .
