Wednesday Green Pancakes!

Tuesday this week was Shrove Tuesday, traditional day to eat pancakes of all sorts and generally clear out the cupboards before the frugal Lent period.  I've never given anything up for Lent before, and this year is no different.  I don't have too many vices and I failed miserably giving up the booze in January so I'm not punishing myself!

Joe had dinner out with his other wife on Tuesday so we postponed pancakes for a day.  I'm sure Joe spent the day convinced he was going to dine on naughty pancakes stuffed with nutella (my personal fave) but oh no, not when I'm in the kitchen!  Today we had green pancakes (i.e. made with parsley, rocket and oregano) with chorizo, roasted shallots, tomatoes and goats cheese.  It was a pretty tasty dinner although the herbs might have been a little overpowered by the chorizo!  Ah well!

Tuesday - Thai Aroy Dee 9.5/10

Recently on twitter, a couple of people had started talking about Thai Aroy Dee, which is new thai place on Vicar Lane in Leeds. Hunter Pig and I decided to try it out and we both loved it....for me it is the best thai restaurant in Leeds. To be honest, it has more the feel of a cafe than a restaurant, with lovely staff and a BYOB policy.....

I am not going to go into war and peace about each dish, but everything was cooked perfectly and the high-light for me was pad broccoli which was cooked in an oyster sauce - delicious simplicity.

Monday - Hot & Sour Soup

We are in catch up mode. Mondays dinner was a hot and sour soup that Jo made from scratch in a flash after a long day at work - we both didn't get home until 7.30pm!....not to bad an effort hey!
