Been productive in the kitchen....

I'm normally out the house all day on a Tuesday but thanks to the virus I'm at home so I've had time to cook today. I've given my resident chef the night off. :lol:

I've prepared Lorraine Pascal's Sticky Asian BBQ chicken with sweetcorn rice and red cabbage slaw. Nommy!

I've also batch cooked a lentil and red pepper soup, a carrot and coriander soup and a spicy tomato soup.

I picked dozens of lemons of our trees, juiced them and now have 3 litres of lemon juice. No chance of scurvy in this house. :lol:

I've also made a lemon drizzle cake.

And had 3 swims (not in the kitchen) :lol: :lol:

Lovely to spend a day just chopping, dicing and making some lovely food.

That's my plan for Thursday, as we're hoping to get some food in tomorrow.

Mine too, although anything lemon-y will do.

It looks as though many of us are becoming kitchen divas, me included. :D I am just doing some batch cooking for the freezer - stews, curries - you get the idea.

And when it comes to lemon, count me in. Lemonade was always my favourite pop, and that new kid on the block, Sicilian, is my absolute favourite.

Our trees have year round lemons. Do yours harvest all year too Jan?

We've got loads of pears and apples that need picking too....but that's a job for garden man Don. :lol:
