Tuesday's Black Pepper Fest

On Tuesday Joe let me back in the kitchen and I felt we had some making up to do after the poor show on Monday night - I didn't know you could make beans on toast look even more basic!  Anyway, armed with some pretty simple ingredients of chicken, broccoli, peppers and some spices, we ended up with pretty tasty chicken and broccoli in a black pepper sauce with rice.  Admittedly, by the end of the meal both Joe and I were suffering from the spice but it was worth it!  Yum.

Monday's Dinner - Tasted Better Than It Looked

We came home late from work and I was in charge of cooking. Dinner tasted better than it looked - just.

Beans - Jo

Curry egg and potato thing - Joe

Sunday - Disappointing Steak!

Sunday was my turn to cook - I made streak and it was disappointing! On Saturday we took a trip to Kirkgate Market and amongst other things we picked up a couple of ribeye steaks from Malcolm Michaels on Butchers Row who are usually of a high standard. These ones weren't so good - chewy and bland!! But the salad and potatoes were good! Even better was Jo's pudding that she whipped up in a flash - chocolate mouse!!
