TONIGHT`S DINNER

Marmight If you google "Slow Cooker lemon Chicken Recipes" you will find a massive amount of different ways of doing lemon chicken,all very easy to do. Enjoy.

Thanks Glamma but it was Seaside wanting lemon chicken recipes!

Thanks Marmight sorry I got your name wrong. I will try the Activia ones.

Woops read the name wrong again,mind I have been up since 4am so the eyes a wee bit tired at the moment. still we might all find recipes we haven't seen before and put together something outstanding.

I just can`t believe there others in the universe who like figs as well as me usually everyone I know runs a mile from them. My grandmother used to make the most wonderful fig pudding but sadly the receipt has been lost in the mists of time.

Thanks BeeWitch for reminding me of poached eggs we will have them tonight as its just too hot to cook at the moment

My sister who lives in Italy always brings me a jar of her homemade fig jam and I put a dollop in rice pudding - just fab.

I wonder why Activia don't do the fig or rhubarb yoghurts in their fat free range, they are both delicious. I love figs, but have to be careful how many I eat!

Yummy, yummy, yummy

I love figs too and this year's crop is promising.
We rub chicken pieces with lemon juice and a bit of salt, refrigerate all day then barbecue. In fact that is what we are having tonight with a salad of pearled spelt, red onion, avocado and feta.

I have a lifelong and completely irrational resistance to figs because my mother had an obsession about my bowels and force-fed me Syrup of Figs. Even though everyone tells me there's no comparison, I still can't face them.
PS My bowels were fine as soon as I left home!

Another fig-resister here anno. My Mum used to soak dried figs then stew them into a sort of mush and try to make us eat them for pudding. I always heartily disliked them - and still do!

Annodomini you have made me laugh with the reminder that my mother also had an obsession with bowels and we were also given Syrup of Figs "to keep us regular" ah those were the days.

Also Gagagran my mother did the same with dried figs we had them with lovely yellow Bird`s custard

Mushroom Stroganoff last night (home made) Out again tonight so whatever the veggie option is!

DD is making inside out bean burgers for tomorrow (they have the cheese in the middle) so chips will, I think, be needed. Do hope so!

Nothing for next month at least. I've eaten too much and too well and you can see it!

I've just planted a fig tree. Has one fig at present.

Galen I hope you have restricted the roots of your fig tree. We did, but not enough and it has gone mad. It hangs over some steps the post lady uses and threatens to poke her in the eye so we keep having to cut it back. This year it actually has a few figs on it, for the first time in years.

Don't feel like cooking tonight so not sure what we will be having

I felt like that yesterday, so I walked down the road to the Toby Carvery. £5.99 for roast chicken, gammon, roast potatoes, carrots, green beans, peas, cauliflower in white sauce, cabbage, redcurrant jelly, apple sauce, horseradish sauce and gravy. I passed on the Yorkshire puddings and mashed potatoes. All beautifully cooked, and no hot kitchen and no dishes to wash.

Oh that sounds such a good idea the problem I have is that that would clash with the wretched football!! Perhaps if we have nothing DH won't notice!

Paprika chicken, rice and peas - another dinner from the freezer. Hope no-one notices that we had chicken curry and rice last night

Venison sausages, mash and peas.
Oh NO! Somebody killed Bambi!!
Perhaps it was Jeanette Winterson

I don't know what this chicken dish is called but it's sooooo very easy to make. It's chicken breast, cut a pocket in the top of the breast fill with Cream cheese, wrap in bacon cook for 20 minutes at 180 for 20 minutes. It can served with anything. Potatoes with veg or just salad. It's so versatile. Lovely

I wanted to go to Toby Carvery today Elegran but DH wanted to go out flying his model aeroplanes and I let him. Why did n't I think of going on my own?!

We're having "homemade" meat pies which I bought from a little deli last week in Wales. With broccoli (and potato for DH only)

Disaster has struck like some others didn`t feel like cooking tonight so thought poached eggs on toast would be light and nourishing (do you like that) anyway the eggs just decided to cast off the white and I was left with 4 yolks and bits of white. Can eggs be too fresh to be poached? Mine were bought just yesterday from local source. I`ve poached for many years successfully but tonight not to be repeated - I hope

I can only poach eggs using these
