Tonight's Dinner

[Malcolm Loades]

Had a terrific Sweet Potato Dauphinoise (of a sort) tonight from Hugh
F-W's Veg Everyday book. Sliced sweet potato was first mixed with
crushed garlic, dried chilli flakes and double cream and then half was
layered into an oven proof dish. Crunchy peanut butter was then mixed
with a little oil, lime zest and a squeeze of juice before 'dolloping'
on top of the layer of sweet potato. This was then topped with the
remaining sweet potato and the cream from the mixing bowl tipped in as
well. Oven at 190C covered with foil for 20 minutes then uncovered for
another 30 minutes until nicely crisp on top. I'll be doing this again
:-)

Hmm I have never liked sweet potato much. I do like regular potato
Dauphinoise and it is a fairly regular dish in my kitchen:) Tonight was
rather less fancy. I made oven 'fried' chicken with baked potato and salad.
Very nice it was too;))

Last night's dinner was from a take-away van in Dartington and we'll
definitely use them again.

Got off the coach in the evening after a National Trust trip down the
Exeter canal/Exe by Stuart Line, discussing what we wanted to eat and there
was the van saying freshly cooked Italian Pizza or words to that effect.
Cooked to order - they ask for phone orders and/or about half/one hour
notice but fitted us in. Prepared and cooked on board in an oven with a
wood fire to one side.

Tomato, anchovy, cheese and spinach.

We'll be back.

Cheers

I made something I haven't made in many many months! I made a beef and veg
pie with a suet crust and lots of lovely gravy! It is a favourite of
Himself and he was very pleased:)) I had garlic poached chicken with salad!
