Minnie, what's Fitchet (Fidget) Pie?

Got me all a fidgetting (sp) when I should be in bed

Love your posts

Lamb steaks marinaded in olive oil, garlic, rosemary and lemon, griddled and served with garlicky creamed spinach and red wine sauce     Rhubarb, raspberry and coconut "trifle" for pudding.

I made the family fish and chips this evening.  This is a huge treat for them, as I don't eat fish at all, and they're all coeliac, so normally if we're out they can't eat things in batter.  I made the batter with half chickpea flour to half a plain gluten free mix, and used soda water to make it nice and light.  It turned out a treat, and was so crispy I could hear the crunch as they ate it.  The look of joy on the kids face was worth the smell, although I do have the ventilation running at full blast now, to get reid of it!

Sounds delicious, you are one clever mum cook




This eve is cous-cous royale, i prefer the vegs, the meats i'll leave to the others....meat balls, lamb, chicken...
Tomorrow i'll make Kafta (Lebanese mini meat balls) to accompany what ever is left.

BBQ'd chicken wings  with an apricot sticky glaze, homemade rosemary foccacia ,  raw veggies and dip.

Predictably, my daughter was "miffed" when chicken in coconut milk was not on the menu last night (Hint: Darling, give Mum a heads up when you're coming up, please).
Hacving said that, she had seconds of the pea and ham soup with h/m rolls.

So, as she has to be back at work in Sydney tomorrow morning, we had "lundinner"/dinlunch (a mix of lunch and dinner at 4pm (!) ).

I quadrupled the quantities so she had food for her and her flatmate to eat for a night or so.

She's just left. Can feel a *major* "hunger attack" coming on around 9-10pm.
