britgirl Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 As it's the 1st August, I thought I'd cook according to the weather, rather than the season. [8-)]. It's cold and very wet so I'm going more for comfort food. Asparagus followed by lamb shanks, mash and veg, and I can't decide on dessert, maybe treacle sponge pudding and custard.

Gardengirl Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Starter: MelonMain: Lamb curry, masala dahl and riceDessert: Fresh raspberriesI also thought I'd serve according to the weather. It's 1st August, and it's wet and chilly. OH is out helping till lunchtime at an international camp at Windsor, starting today for 5000+ Scouts. He's going to be very pleased with my food choice! I feel sorry for the poor scouts and their leaders!Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchie Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 I doubt she'd enjoy being called fish in hot sauce........Anyway, maybe it is most men's way to think about woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardian Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Salade Lyonnaise (diced new pots, lardons, spring onion, cherry toms), followed by a really tasty peach for lunch. Dinner - probably a warm red mullet salad, with lashings of rose. A slice of yesterday's leftover almond and nectarine tart with a blob of ice cream. Oh and lashings more rose.

paw862 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Lunch - courgette and sundried tomato frittata, follwed by melon with fresh raspberry pureeDinner - pan-fried pork chop with prune, apple and shallot confitI think my whole life revolves around food! At this time of year it's all about trying to use the multitude of fresh produce from the garden. Food glorious food! [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Breakfast: boiled eggs with the "no-kneading" brown bread I made last night.Lunch: tomato and courgette (both from the veg patch) tart with a large green salad. Twix with cup of tea.Dinner: will be fish curry followed by melon as dessert.Unfortunately, I am still on the wagon so no wine of any colour [:(] but maybe a less-than-1% beer at apéro time[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchie Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 I love your posts, give me ideas.Gardian, I like that salade lyonnaise, and Paw, that fritatta makes me think tomorrow I 'll cook a tarte à la tomate et au chèvre .Accompagné d' une salade verte, et d'un bon verre de rosé .......... C'est parfait !! [;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russethouse Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/1305793/ShowPost.aspxI'd be sparing with the mint... I used fresh, just a few leaves but a strong variety and it was a little too much, likewise no need for any added salt, the cheese seems to have it naturally. Good way to use courgettes [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suein56 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 [quote user="Dog"] corgette bread, [/quote]Can you share the recipe for that, please, as it sounds interesting and we have a lot of courgettes in the veg plot?Have to say I am not completely veggie, but, due to widespread arthritis since I was 25, I don't eat any red meat - due to acid content and personal choice - but I do struggle to find interesting recipes as I am of the not-a-very-good-cook-variety.Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess quite a few people on here would give it a go if they realised what delicious meals could be created this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
