Tomato Salad is .....you guessed right tomatoes and spring onion and other greens
Melon Madness is three melons freshly cut up with juice of orange for moisture retention

Kedgeree is a hashed caserole of tinned fish, rice and hard-boiled eggs

 

[donnA]

the melon sounds really good. What kinds of melon do you use? Is that all there is to it, 3 kinds of melons and orange juice? Might need to make that this summer.

Tonight is stand up roasted chicekn, chicken and garlic rice, and honey glazed carrots.

Stand up chicken= ever heard of beer can chicken? I've done that on the grill several times, no beer, sometimes an empty can, sometimes some liquids in the can (don't recall what though). I have a wire stand for the can to keep the chciken from falling over also, so really no can even needed. But I saw on foodnetwork once they used a bunt pan, put the chciken on it and grilled it. So I bought one at a yard sale for 25 cents, and it works great, the grease collects in the pan and doesn't make your grill falre up. So I am going to try this in the oven, cover the center hole with foil. You rub spices all over, and it browns and gets crispy all over the skin, not just parts, yet moist and tender inside. Worth an attemp in the oven.

 

[Friend of God]

That sounds really good Donna, I'll have to give it a try sometime.

Tonight is Steak on the grill, Baked Potatoes, Tossed Salad, and Hot Fudge Sundaes for dessert.

the melon sounds really good. What kinds of melon do you use? Is that all there is to it, 3 kinds of melons and orange juice? Might need to make that this summer.

I cut up watermelon, rockmelon(canteloupe) and honeydew into cubes or use a melonballer. and add a little orange juice to stop it drying out. I prefer to use seedless watermelon or otherwise you flick out the seeds as you go. It is colourful and healthy as desserts go.....:wavey:

 

[Melanie]

I had a simple scrambled egg dish tonight with spring onion added and a dish of jelly tip icecream......simple but good ingredients make it fit for a human being:smilewinkgrin:
