Friday - Katsu Curry, Rice and Salad

This is a quick fire blog as I have a friend arriving from home soon, and we are heading into Leeds for the footy and few beers....happy days! With Jo away until Sunday, I reverted to type and thought about interesting ways to fry chicken - one of my favourite treats that Jo (thankfully) won't allow me to have to often.

With inspiration taken from a recent trip to Yo Sushi, I decided on Katsu Curry with some boiled rice and a little salad - luckily we had most of the ingredients for the curry at home and the panko breadcrumbs from scotch eggs I made at Christmas.....all in a pretty decent effort, although definitely made enough for at least two people (obviously ate it all though).

Thursday - Indian Kebabs

Jo is in Edinburgh at the moment, where she is hanging out with her lovely folks and doing fun wedding stuff....so on Thursday I was fending for myself. I had chicken grilled in Indian spices with greenery on the side and a pita. What the picture doesn't show is the cous cous that I royally messed up...I bet you didn't think that was possible!

Wednesday - Stuff Mushrooms and Roasted Butternut Squash

Yesterday I was off work as I was ill!! A food blog isn't the place to go into the details, but suffice to say most of the day was spend in recovery in bed...to be honest, I can't remember the last time I was off work ill - it must have been a good 18 months or so when I was a really sick with a 48 hour bug....anyway back to dinner. Jo returned from work with plans to use the portobello mushrooms that we bought at the weekend that were stuffed with some bit including goats cheese (I am unsure what else were in them and she isn't her to ask!) and roasted butternut squash wedges on the side. It was lovely, although I didn't have much of an appetite!
