I ate food. This food:

All-In-One Beef Stifado Orzo Stew

I don't trust Orzo. It looks like rice, tastes like pasta (because it is), and looks like maggots when it swells up in a puddle in the sink next morning. This said, a tomato, beef and onion stew is probably the best thing to do with it since your mouth will think it is Bolognese. You have to start it on the hob and then transfer to the oven, and I wasn't sure if I had a suitable receptacle for that, so I did it in a pan first then changed to an oven-proof dish. This worked fine, but it could do with something like a panko crust on top just to finish it off.

Smoked Mackerel and Pickled Red Cabbage Salad

This is quick and easy since the mackerel and the butter beans merely need warming up. It's a bit of a weird combo, though, with apple slices in the mix. If I made it again I might leave out the apple.

Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato and Cavolo Nero Gnocchi

This was delish, even more so because the Cavolo Nero - which turns out to be KALE IN DISGUISE - was replaced with spinach due to shortages. I like pan-fried gnocchi and the mix of Soya and Chinese rice wine didn't sound promising but was very nice.

Warn Halloumi Salad With Green Tomato Dressing

How far can you get from salad until you are not salad? This involves grilled pepper and courgette with pan-fried tomato, red onion and halloumi, and a dressing made from chutney, lemon juice and much olive oil. It was VERY AMAZING. Finally, the human race has solved salad!
