I couldn't think of anything for a Tuesday, apart from Chicken.

^ Channeling Ray....??
There ya go, 'Channelling Tuesday'.
Toe-jam Tuesday
^ In Norway it's always 'Taco Friday' but that makes no sense at all.
It was 'Larb moo Wednesday' in Korat today.
I asked for a 'Stumpy special' with liver and cucumber.
^ What an offal thing to do!
Mrs Mendip de-bagged it and brought it upstairs, but I think that was her only 'cooking' involvement. She picked it up while at the Amphur offices this morning sorting out this permission formso I can take the daughter away to Blighty in a few days. It seems she was successful and I now have this one page form... but it's all in squiggles and could well be a parking ticket for all I know.
Tuscan Thursday? Well, could be, or at least a Spaghetti Bolognese. Eat pasta quite often, but rarely spaghetti. Anyway, gather the makings for the ragu.
First, fry off some finely chopped bacon in olive oil until turned crispy.
Then add some onion, carrot, celery, garlic, and fresh rosemary, all of which have been finely chopped in a processor.
Once the veg has softened, add the beef mince, mix together and cook until the mince is browned.
Then add a couple of tins of plum tomatoes, a glass of red wine, some dried oregano, chopped fresh basil, and halved cherry tomatoes, a crumbled beef stock cube, and a good squeeze of tomato puree.
Bring to the boil and simmer for an hour or so.
A handful of parmesan cheese stirred into the sauce.
There you have it, even TC's Nonna would have loved it.
Meanwhile, M'Sahib is going for a Clam fest. A friend of hers collects the clams from one of the beaches, and she dropped off a large bag last night.
Started off by frying off the obligatory garlic and chilli.
Adding the clams and some fresh basil.
No idea what else she puts in, but it smells good.
Ready to go.
These would actually go well with pasta, though she's having a side of rice.
