Today - Monday - Ham hock and red lentil soup, using cheeses left over from our Austro-Hungarian extravaganza last night.
Tuesday - quiz night as well as the big Scotland debate on TV. I'm thinking lamb curry in the slow cooker -- it's like coming home to a good woman! We'll buy some naan bread and pilau rice at Tiffin on Pitfield Street, our favourite local Indian takeaway, then we can eat as soon as we're in.
Wednesday - A salad night in this weather, with a potted mackerel and toast
Thursday - Picnic! Regent's Park is the favoured venue. Far enough away to be a bit unusual, not so far as to require an entire military transportation exercise. Some ideas so far: homemade port pies, tabbouleh, a nice terrine (probably from James Eliot, but we had a fantastic duck and pistachio terrine from the Ginger Pig in Borough Market on Sunday), more of Sunday's leftover cheeses, a potato salad (for Leo, not my idea of savoury picnic fare). Something sweet, though not sure what just yet.
Friday - I'll try Dotori again, if not, improvisation!
Saturday - Trout is out of season :-(( but baked mackerel is an excellent alternative.
Sunday - We have friends coming round so we need to make an effort. Either sea bass or sea bream, whichever looks best at Steve Hatt, with rose petals. Chicken with artichokes, a side of kofte, tabbouleh, rice and crispy onions. A cake for dessert and perhaps some baklava with Turkish coffee to finish.
