I only made lemon curd for the first time last year. I was blown away by how much better it is than the pre-made stuff.

Another vote for the sunshine in a jar!

Then there's this kind of chicken salad. The last time I had it, before my mother passed a while back, when I was visiting her, it was served on a bed of finely sliced iceberg lettuce.

I've never put melted butter and mayonnaise together, what's it like?
Do you get more of a butter or mayo flavour coming through?

Yeah it's very different from the jarred stuff, vastly superior indeed. That's why I make it a few times a year, it's absolutely delicious

It's no even the same ball park is it?
I don't buy or like the jarred stuff. The home made version though is amazing

Aaargh the peas are hurting my eyes

Thanks for that. I’m curious and think I’ll give it whirl
But I seem to have accumulated quite a lot of things I have to try so I’m gonna have to stop looking at food and recipes for a while until my newly cleared utility shelves look reasonable again

So far I have the Homany, Jujubes, Canneloni, buttercream recipe and now this on the list. I’m trying to resist the urge to stick the tetrazzini on there too!

We love chicken Cesar salad, with homemade dressing and croutons.

One of my specialities! /drool

In the USA, chicken salad is chopped chicken usually with mayo, celery, onion, and such that really is designed for sandwiches and crackers. I get you might not know that. Some people might put it on lettuce or with other veggies.

Tuna salad and chicken salad are basically the same thing, just one with chicken and the other with tuna. I'll devour both!

Curry more than anything. Remember though that the butter is cooled so it's starting to solidify again.

I bought a jar of lemon curd once. Then returned it. YUCK! Decided to try making it at home. I make mine in the Instant Pot. I love it!

Dinner last night was mini naan pizzas topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella, parmigiano reggiano & pecorino romano cheeses, sweet Italian sausage, baby bella mushrooms, red & green bell peppers.

One more reason I should get an instapot...

Every time I post my pot roast, it's done with an InstaPot. I only use it for about 10% of its abilities, but they're still nice.
