No, there's no sock sucking at the groomers...

Nope. Not gonna say it. Uh-uh.

I thought I was going to have to snatch a quick salad before my early evening language class, but the student postponed.
That meant I could stuff a huge potato in the oven to bake, and slather it with butter, cream, cheese, tomato & onion salad, and a side of sauerkraut (because there was some in the fridge!)

Looks very good SoCalZone10 --- I'm still deciding what I am doing ......

I grilled some sausages and started using some of the veges I bought
Bok choy with red and yellow pepper (and onions, garlic, chili, oyster sauce and a dash of vinegar).
Too lazy to cook rice, so grabbed some bread to go with it, gotta have starch

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Lunch was a slight variation on normal because I'd not been able to go shopping.

Evening meal was simple because frankly it was too hot and neither of us fancied anything.

Peanut butter other pistachio butter on bread.

Not a lot to show from yesterday as my son cooked us his Lemon Paprika Chicken which was delicious and eaten too fast for photos!

Some Oi-muchim (cucumber salad) I had forgotten about that had been busy pickling itself in the fridge.

Tasted very different from the fresh made version, the salty soy sauce had pulled a lot of liquid from the cucumber and the garlic n shallots had become very mild. It was like a different recipe but everyone loved it and the bowls were empty so now I’ve got two cucumber salads for the price of one!!

And some bargain ‘Chinese chicken’ I picked up at the butchers.
Their scales were down (yes butchers scales now require updates and can go down!) so they could only sell stuff they’d already packaged and weighed (shame because the counter was groaning under the weight of a fabulous selection).
I recognised the generic red Chinese powder marinade they used from the ingredients list on the packaging and know it tends to be quite bland so decided to smoke them. I feel the need to explain that so you know they aren’t burnt

My dog embarrassed the hell out of me by turning her nose up at a fine sliver of steak the butcher kindly sliced straight of the carcass for her. She took it eventually and they found it amusing but honestly Doodle is a weirdo!

Picked up some wings at the butchers. £2.99 for twelve.
BBQ flavour and the first listed ingredient was sugar so I wasn’t at all hopeful but I was wrong, they weren’t too sweet!

Next time I’ll trim off the wing tips and chuck them in a little later into the cook time, they defo didn’t need quite as long.
