Firstly, thank you so much for all your good wishes for Ruby. She had a good night and will be on rice, chicken and the chicken boiling water for a short while. She has to have one pill 2 hours before eating, she ain’t happy about that! Then a painkiller and probiotic paste with her food.
For lunch we had 'Egg in a Hole' Peppers with Avocado Salad, recipe
here:
I used a whole avocado between the two of us rather than 1/2 as it would go off. We had 3 small new potatoes that needed eating so they were chopped into the salad. A scant teaspoon of grated Parmesan was divided between each egg.
We gave it a 3 1/2 to 4 out of 5. We thought we would not use the pepper rings next time, instead chopping and adding them into the salad and just poach the eggs.
For our evening meal we had Chicken Piccata, the recipe for which is
here:
We enjoyed this but thought a nice dash of Worcestershire or Soy sauce would finish it off. The long green things are strips of a small courgette. We didn't use capers as neither of us likes them. Instead we chopped some gherkins into it. We gave it 4 1/2 out of 5.
Any recipes that we really like we will use again.
Both meals look absolutely delicious!

Thanks. Not as tasty as normal meals but then, they are low calorie.
DeleteJust read your last post on Ruby. I hope she's recovering. Do you take her on a beach? Only asking because, where I live there have been warnings about palm oil which is washed up. It solidifies into lumps that look like stones and dogs can become very ill and even die if they eat them. I'm sure the vets will have ruled that out, but if not, maybe worth mentioning to them. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info but she hasn’t been to a beach for weeks. How interesting though.
DeleteIt is good to eat a whole avocado but if you want to keep a half cut it ACROSS the fruit then put the leftover piece into a cup - it keeps the air out. I used to grow them and still use it instead of butter on my breakfast toast so just cut a slice off and put the rest back in the cup and it keeps for days. Hope that helps.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that, I shall try it.
DeleteI wondered about the egg escaping out of the pepper rings, so would it perhaps be better to simply cut the peppers in half and break the eggs into the 'cups'? Maybe, to soften the peppers, add them (containing the eggs) into a pan of boiling water and cook until the eggs are the required consistency, when the peppers should also be softened nicely.
ReplyDeleteI think really fresh eggs would be fine, these were slightly old. We like peppers in salad but not warm, unless properly fried.
