peeeeeeetI made more food meals.
Crispy Chilli Beef and Coriander Noodles
This wasn't really crispy, but it was nice. I have decided I'm not a big fan of coriander, though.
Tuna Mac n' Cheese
Tuna pasta bake was always something I liked growing up and this is a decent version of it. Using mozzarella gives it an interesting texture but leads to the whole thing being a little bland. Perhaps next time I will borrow an idea from an earlier recipeh and add in some dijon mustard to the bechamel sauce. Again portions were large. This would feed three easily, four at a squeeze.
Tamarind Chicken Pad Thai-style Noodles
I went for two slightly too similar meals this time, but this is also very nice. There was a new way (to me) to cook diced chicken boobs - dunking them in a mixture of whisked egg and cornflour and then frying them briefly.
Chicken Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing
I was worried this might suffer in comparison to Waldorf Salad, but the blue-cheese sauce gave it a unique kick. The use of baby plum tomatoes made it overall more Mediterranean in feel. I ate a bowl of it for lunch under the blazing sun on my patio and fancied that I was in Tuscany. Then it became cloudy and I noticed all the ants and weeds.
