What's for dinner?

Made some smoked/bbq pork chops last night with salad from the garden and some kind of carb (baked beans? can't remember). Hubs, son and father pretty much ate all the chops so I had a dinner of sides. I've been recovering from a nasty cold so I wasn't hungry anyway.

Tonight, I made a dinner that I bought from Fresh & Easy. I usually don't do the pre-made stuff and now I remember why. It was chicken breast with spinach, prociutto and alfredo sauce. Which sounds good, but tasted funky somehow. Not my thing. I wanted something quick and easy since I don't feel well but nope, won't do that again.

edited to add: Was watching a show on travel channel about fast food around the globe. I don't eat a lot of fast food but they showed that in China (?) they have curry and spicy dipping sauces for chicken Mcnuggets. Now, if American McDonald's offered those here, I might be convinced to give nuggets another try.

Aioli...it is good. I don't even really know what it's made of...a mustard sauce of some kind? But man, it is good.

Trisky, here's a video:

It doesn't traditionally have mustard, but mustard does add flavour. It's essentially garlic mayonnaise.

Yesterday, a variation on nasi goreng (an Indonesian style of fried rice), nice, tasty and easy. Especially with all the side-snacks/condiments, peanuts, sambal, emping, pickled gherkin, omelette, fried onion.

Macaroni cheese tonight, cos I forgot to defrost any meat and I have something of a milk surplus. Yet to decide how I'll flavour the sauce, but likely it will involve either some fresh basil that I have growing on a windowsill, or rosemary from out by the front door.

Was planning to have that with leftover roast turkey last night, but by the time I'd washed the dishes I couldn't be bothered so just had a turkey sandwich instead.
