Hi everyone
The cold seems to have stuck, so it’s time to adjust wardrobe and mealplan both 
Challenging myself with some new ingredients to keep things interesting: pork sirloin, chrysanthemum leaves, and fresh bamboo shoots.
Making a soup or two for the week – curried carrot is in the pressure cooker now, and I have a craving for barley, so perhaps scotch broth. Though I realized that I am lacking beans in general in my planning of late, so maybe a simple Turkish lentil soup or dal to weave in through the week.
I baked a tiger cake for a dinner yesterday, and another small square pullman loaf, for toast and sandwiches. Have some baking for next weekend, maybe another tiger cake or the chocolate whiskey cake @LulusMom1 had posted about ages ago or another hot milk sponge cake sandwiched with jam or lemon curd.
Some ideas for the week:
– Thai grilled (roasted) pork sirloin + yu choy + quinoa / rice
– Lamb Rendang (using ready paste) + sauteed chrysanthemum leaves + quinoa / rice
– Fish pie (salmon, scallops, shrimp) + green beans or salad
– Roasted salmon with mustard and green chilli sauce + Turkish stewed green beans / fasulye + rice
– Roast chicken + (mini) Hasselback potato gratin + chrysanthemum Caesar salad
Wish you all a good week ahead!
