A photo of a big white rectangular casserole dish with food in it, but you can't make out what's underneath the crunchy golden brown panko breadcrumb topping. It looks amazing though.

A photo of the tuna mornay in a bowl. Here you can see that underneath the topping it consists of spiral pasta with chunks of tuna and pieces of corn in a thick white sauce.

We made the tuna mornay recipe from Recipe Tin Eats (https://www.recipetineats.com/tuna-mornay-casserole-pasta-bake/) for dinner tonight, and OMG IT WAS EPIC. I'm not quite sure how she decided it was ten minutes of prep because it took us about fifty, with a whole lot of mess, but holy crap was it worth it! Just absolutely delicious.

A photo of beef massaman curry on top of rice in a white bowl.

A photo of a can of Brookvale Union's spiced ginger beer. The art on the front has an elephant sitting down, wearing a Thai-looking decorative robe, but it also has an eyepatch and a pirate hat and is wielding a large sceptre.

Today is our thirteenth wedding anniversary! We WERE going to go out to Meat & Wine Co. for delicious slow-cooked meats but unfortunately over the weekend Kristina finally picked the cold I had. 😞 So instead we got takeaway Thai and are having our meats next week. Finishing it all up with a ginger beer that has spiced rum in it and it is DELICIOUS.

A photo of a pizza sitting on a plate. Just visible in places under the cheese are pieces of ham and onion, and on the top it has sun-dried tomatoes and olives.

And then we went out for Italian! We WERE going to go for Thai and had made a booking, but Kristina got a very apologetic phone call this afternoon saying that they had to close the whole restaurant down because something had gone wrong in the kitchen and they were going to be closed for like a week because the whole floor needed to be taken up. We'd been to this Italian place before MANY years ago but had zero memory of how it was. Turns out, really good! They had a brownie tiramisu for dessert that I really wanted to try but by the time I finished the pizza I was STUFFED. And this was just the medium pizza, not even the large one.

A photo of two pieces of chicken schnitzel with tomato paste and cheese on top, sitting on a white plate with some green beans next to them.

How's that for a trashy dinner: Aldi chicken schnitzel with tomato paste and cheese on top to turn it into a chicken parma.

A photo of beef Pad See Ew on a plate. It looks (and was) delicious!

A photo of dessert which was billed as "banana with sticky rice and ice cream". The banana seemed like it'd been smushed and shaped around a core of bean paste. Not very appetising-looking but was really tasty.

Kristina had a sudden hankering for Thai tonight so we went to our local Thai restaurant and it was excellent as always.

A photo of a pork schnitzel on top of chips, with some sort of pickled cabbage (it didn't taste like sauerkraut) and pickled beetroot things with a pasta salad thing as well.

Well, the food was actually delicious, but I'm pretty sure they had exactly one person in the kitchen and one fryer to make the food with because it took over an hour for it to arrive. Definitely not bothering with that place again.

A photo of a little bowl of ice cream with hot fudge on top and multi-coloured sprinkles.

We also made ice cream this morning!

A photo of a bowl of spaghetti with bolognese sauce on top, all covered in grated Parmesan cheese.

I made myself a batch of Quorn-based spaghetti bolognese yesterday, had the first one for lunch today and it's excellent. I'm not sure I'd really have noticed it wasn't beef if I wasn't paying attention!

A photo of two pieces of damper (essentially very basic bread), with flour on top. They've split weirdly in the middle along the horizontal axis though, so it looks like the top half is slowly sliding off the bottom.

On the back of the giant sack of bread flour I've got there's a few recipes for various things, and one of them is damper. I decided to finally get around to making it and it looks pretty good, though I'm not entirely sure what happened with the splitting there.
