My boyfriend and I have been disgusting recently, not moving from the sofa and generally getting fat and unhealthy. I'm implementing a regime, starting tonight, which is my usual reaction to not being able to do my favourite jeans up: cutting out dairy, wheat, alcohol and most meat, just for a couple of weeks. Quick fix!
So, tonight we'll be having homemade veggie curry (courgettes, tomatoes, sweet potato, fennel seeds, cardamon, chillies etc.) with quinoa. It's surprisingly nice!

Last night was my night off
Hubby steamed a crab and shelled it for the salad
homemade salmon and surf clam nigiri sushi/sashimi
Mrs. Gibba, I don't know about the rest of the Canadians here but I love my bbq ( foods ) and use it all winter as well, no mess in the kitchen, no messy oil splatters, tastes better too! I even go out with a big umbrella if it's raining, and it usually is around here, lol! One of these years I will have a covered area just for bbqing.
Ashen, I am making crab cakes for Val Day, I was going to make a red pepper sauce but I think the chilpotle aoli would be much better, thanks!

Bcrain i am glad it inspired you.. i loved it .. I am a bit of a Chiliehead though.. It was a bit spicy for my wife. The aoli was actually very nice as a dressing on the mixed spring greens that came with the crab cakes..
Supper tonight... My wife made a fav of ours.. jamacian curry shrimp over some plain long grain rice. Well hers was plain.. i mixed some Grace scotch Bonnet scauce into my rice before putting the curry over top.
Like i said.. Bit of a Chilehead. ![]()

Ashen, that's how I was going to serve the crabcakes, on the bed of salad, kind of kill 2 birds with one stone, lol... I don't have the fresh chilpotles just a small can of them... I'll see how I can turn it into the aoli. Aren't scotch bonnets one of the hottest chilli peppers out there? Yikes!
I am going to try and attemp a bouillabaisse for Wed night.
Tonight it's a potroast. Maybe some yorkies for the kids.
