OK, What's For Lunch or Tea Today?

Lol - you are a daftee! Email it to me. Told ya to PM me, to get my addy:)

I still run a business from home, but apart from that I'd never get rid of our landline and rely on a mobile phone. You never know when it could break down, and you always have to remember to charge the battery. Feck that!:nono:

That's a classic, and gorgeous! Have you tried it?:)

Anyway, today's lunch.... To start, fresh salmon infused with ginger, chilli and lime, then baked in tinfoil with Chinese noodles fresh ginger, coriander, sliced peppers and fresh chilli (yes I like a bit of spice, lol):

Followed by veal steak, marinated in fresh rosemary and garlic/olive oil, then pan-fried in butter, with a sauce of white wine, reduced down with a touch of mascarpone + pan juices, and served with green beans à la Grecque, Dauphinoise potatoes and fresh mixed vegetables:

That looks top class!

Have tried the spaghetti with olive oil and garlic but not with the chilli. Sounds good though. I love simple pasta dishes like that best.

Have been taking it easy this weekend, not really having the usual cookfest.

I did make some lovely fresh pesto though, that was a bit of a treat. [emoji4]

Cheers, Tony. It was delicious. We always have something nice for Sunday lunch, along with a lovely bottle of vino (today it was a 2016 Crozes Hermitage). It's a tradition that goes way back with both of our families.

Home-made pesto? Sounds good. What did you have it with, gnocchi or spaghetti?:)

I’m quite fond of a Crozes Hermitage meself [emoji4]

Had planned on having the pesto with the Bucatini on Saturday when I made it but for various reasons that never happened.

Ended up having a veggie melanzane ripiene with various other bits, including the pesto. Was lovely though.

Still sounds good, mate. Anything home-made using proper fresh ingredients has a fighting chance of tasting great!:)
