My mum is having her second Cyberknife session today so we are having a Chinese takeaway in case she doesn't feel like cooking - it can make her feel a bit ill (understandably!). Only one session left to go though.

Usually I have chicken chow mein at the Chinese; I feel like trying something different tonight but I'm not sure what.”

Best wishes to your mum, too, and I hope she (and all of you!) enjoy the Chinese.

Those look yummy kimindex. Did you make them earlier or is someone else cooking? I hope you enjoy your drinks out.

mirabelle, I have a recipe I could send you that is no fail. Hubby can't get enough of it. It's more on the sweet side if you like it like that.

Tonight I'm going simple with beef mince and mushroom gravy served over mashed potatoes, a salad of some sort, steamed broccoli and the obligatory peas for my Mr.

Having a tex-mex night.
Ribs, corn on the cob, slaw and possibly onion rings & wedges depending how i'm feeling.

Got the ribs marinating at the moment in a dry rub I knocked up last night.

I made them earlier (or, rather, I didn't because the pastry was freezer burnt (I don't make my own

) so I just have filling. Oh, well! The filling is nice, though and the potatoes are, too! Mushroom gravy sounds nice, over mash. Yum! I'm sure I could do that with soya mince.

I'm using a method I saw on Man V Food. Put the ribs in a dish with a little water and cover with foil and bake for 2 hours on a low heat.

Fingers crossed

I can always stick them in the deep fryer for a final blast if needed

Is that the one in Kensington Church Street? Those were the days (when I was a Londoner!).

I saved the filling from the empanadas from last night (we had Linda M mozzarella burgers instead) and I'm going to turn it into succotash and have it with roast potatoes.

How did the ribs turn out? I hope you enjoyed them. You did it similar to the way I do my pork belly slices. I give them a rub with my own homemade mix and let sit in the fridge for a bit. I then bake with foil like yours, only I baked them dry (because of all the fat) on 140C for 3 1/2 hours. I then slap them on the BBQ to coat them in a bit of BBQ sauce. They are fall off the bone delicious so I have to make sure they don’t fall down the grates in the grill.

Is yours the mini type? I love my mini processor. I’d be lost without it now.

It sounds like a great night out Rainbow. I’m sure you’ll have a good time, pretend you’re 21 again.

Very creative. Sounds delish. I wish I could get my Mr to eat more veg. It seems to be peas, peas and more peas!

I had a change of plan last night and make chicken in white wine sauce instead.

Having the ribs tonight instead

I was toying with the idea of buying belly slices but went for the ribs instead. I saw a show where they made Chicharrón Colombiano and it looked really nice.
