Crumbed chicken with mixed vegetables for the men.  A small pureed apricot chicken from the freezer vegetable and a carrot & zucchini sauce for me.

Last night we had dinner in an Asian Restaurant in Kyneton. Although we indulged at the 80 th party, we still managed to sample Asian soup,( very good), Quail, Squid, steamed whole Snapper, Asian Greens. The soup was a base of coconut milk with fish sauce and other Asian condiments.

It sounds interesting Chookie. We’re having Haloumi burgers tonight. I have the buns rising. Parmesan and Rosemary ones tonight.

Greek day for me - Greek pasta salad, full of good fresh veges and a "Giant" beans recipe.  Also experimented with a new vegan macaroni and cheese recipe, but still can't get to the texture or anywhere near the taste of real cheese sauce.  I have been close a few times, but still not there yet.  The search goes on.

 Keep trying Marina. Have you used Silken Tofu ?
I’ve nailed the Asian soup we had while away. DD thought it had Vegemite in it. I think she could taste the fish sauce ,as it was Asian. First thing I did after unpacking was made the soup for dinner. All made inTMX of course.
Base, light veggie soup, carrot, celery and garlic. Sauté in evoo. 2 1/2 cups water or chicken stock. I added 2 soup cubes. Cook and liquidise. Add tin of coconut milk and fish sauce. Add lemongrass paste or lemon zest. Reheat. Garnish with chives.
Could add noodles, prawns, mushrooms, chicken, asparagus etc.

We had a recipe from the September issue of the Woolworths magazine. Kofta and Beetroot salad. It was very nice.

Thanks for the silken tofu suggestion, Chookie.  Funnily enough the version I made at the weekend used silken tofu for the first time.

Love what you’ve been cooking ladies, only boring meals for me but I’m enjoying doing some cooking for my friend from time to time.

Roast beef and vegetables for the men.  In the supermarket today I saw some small soft meals for young children in the freezer so bought a pasta dish and will try pureeing that.

Good idea Margaret. It’s difficult coming up with new ideas isn’t it?

We had a Stroganoff Meat Pie with crunched up filo for the top.

Cookie the pie sounds delicious.
This week we have had some lovely fish and steak and salads. Also I got a beautiful bunch of thick first of the season asparagus, they were amazing crunchy moist .

Katie, I wait all year for the Asparagus season. I’ve experimented and now use a vegetable peeler and shave the snapped off ends and then slice diagonally.
I’ve grown a crunchy Chinese vegetable in my small garden. This added to Chicken stock makes a lovely soup. Also added sliced cooked chicken breast.
