Leftovers 
One of last night's left over baked potatoes, sliced up and lightly fried with huge chunks of mushrooms, mini plum tomatoes and assorted good things to make a rich gravy. Fresh ground grains of paradise over it in a bowl with a good scoopful of richly matured red Scottish cheddar
Himself is still doing the 5:2 diet thing to control HBP, and by all accounts and tests it's working. He just had porridge for his tonight.
cheers,
Toddy

Leftovers for me too, I was given some fresh Salmon yesterday which came from the river a mile or so away and there was a small amount left; so it and some diced veggies from the allotments went into a six-egg omellette from eggs laid truly free range up the road from me...................most for me, some for Molly...................food of the gods!
Tonight was home made meatballs in a tomato sauce with peppers, onions, mushrooms, garlic, basil and smoked sausage.
I also made 20+ burgers for the weekend

* Correction. It wasn't herring, I have a Pavlovian response to typing herring when it comes to fish in oatmeal! (but it's so good). It was mackerel in oatmeal tonight. Equally nice and a bit rare off the Scottish coast this year, not many of them about. Used to pull them oot of the sea so often you got scunnered with them sometimes. But these were fresh and caught by my fair maidens own fair hand and so all the sweeter- though I had to prepare them.
Stewed steak, fried potatoes and cabbage. Nice prefer fried spuds to boiled, less size and more calories with a fat injection
Went fishing with Barbara on the pier today and was hoping for fresh Spanish Mackerel or Pompano. It didn't happen (although we did have a good day and saw a couple of hammerheads, a couple of Thresher Sharks, and quite a few Sea Turtles)
For supper we wound up stopping at a fusion restaurant owned by a friend of Barbara's and my supper was a very good Thai curried beef.

Some fantastic sounding dishes you lot are having!
Last night was lamb chops with spinach and onions fried in butter; tonight will be chicken and aubergine parmigiano and most importantly a bottle of chianti.

the chooks were my friends, not mine... But he's not happy about the loss or the fact that the snakes eat all the eggs lately- I actually caught one snake in flagrant I and relocated it.... . Another dozen chooks were lost to an airborne attack by a falcon..... .
A few nights ago it was:
-Plantains fried in butter and brown sugar than mashed and whipped (much like candied Sweet Potatoes)
-Collard Greens, and
-Salisbury Steak
A couple of days later I used the left over Plantain as a substitute for mashed potatoes to make Bubble and Squeak; a successful experiment! Fortunately------as I still have about 4 or 5 more pounds of Plantains to cook.

Stop it you evil, evil man, that looks too good to be true!
Have a look at this one from the Pensacola Crawfish Festival during the Festival of Five Flags:

In the spirit of competition I'd like to bet them I could eat that whole tray of sweet yielding goodness - or burst trying. Man that looks sooo good! My mouth is drooling looking at that. Belzeebob23 & I used to trawl through the langoustine population of Mallaig when we went up there every year for his birthday. Greedily eating them sitting on white coral beaches with the bluest clear water and a fire going... doesn't really get better!
They do have a crawfish eating contest scheduled for the next festival. I'm tempted to enter myself. Not thatI think I could win; just that the entry fee is cheaper than buying a plate
