I think I had the hot plates on a tad high :oops: and as I'd also put the prawns in a chilli, garlic, ginger and sesame oil marinade, that didn't help.

We now have the front and back doors open, as well as the garage door, to let al lthe smoke out :oops: :oops:

Was very scrummy though :D

I also did a salad with onions, tomatoes and roasted peppers, couscous and boiled egg chopped up with chick peas (as Grumpy requested) pork steaks, spicy sausage, Portuguese black puddin', jalapeno chillis and a couple of cooling dips.

Now stuffed.................. :lol:

That sound delicious Ton.

Especially the salad. My lot are really boring when it comes to salad - lettuce, tomato, cucumber and onion and that's about it.

I love a nice salad with lots of ingredients.

I just chuck all sorts in now - I used to be the same old same old, but now - anything gets thrown in.

And even cold rice in the summer, with onions and garlic, lightly sauted, with peas, chillis and anything else I can think of :lol:

We're on ythe look out for some different chilli plants - have to see what the market in Castro Verde has on offer on Wednesday :D

Whoops, forgot to say that I normally only use olive oil and white wine vinegar as a dressing now- very pleasant on a hot summers day 8-)

Oh - I dream of nicely dressed salads. But that's a step too far for my clan.

I have to drizzle the dressing on my own salad - I'm not allowed to actually add it to the main dish.

Tell you what, you come over here for a few days, let them sort themselves out and we'll eat lots of salads :D

Oh, and maybe have a glass or two of wine :lol:

I love a bowl of salad with a bit of crunch :D 8-) We've just got back from the Harvester, H's choice for his birthday meal, and the bowls of salad are my favourite bit :lol:

It does Saundra, it really does.

Most of the stuff we buy is locally grown and mostly organic too, no extras in our food :lol:
