Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Supper -- what are you cooking?

Had folk staying over last night and some were English so we had to put on the full Scottish :- Angus steak sausages Slooowly fried while i have my own wake up tea and cigarette breakfast. ps. everyone is still asleep and i'ts 9.45 am.
Two Sudokus later ( I'm up to Krazy dad's tough. Woo Hoo!)
I'm outside at the patio table shivering 'cos it's the middle of summer and the weather is typically Scottish ie. BALTIC! And we have a no smoking policy indoors. (my idea??)
Anyway it's time to put the oven on economy, put the sausages to bed and stick the smoked back bacon on to grill,( that'll get 'em out of bed) fry off the Dingwall black pudding and haggis slices, grill the tomatoes. square sausage is next, under the grill. It's the mankyest fatty, grissly sausage meat i know but for some reason we still eat it.
Potato scones and bread for toast are stacked by the toaster. The organic, free range eggs are sitting by the pan for cooking to order.ie. fried.
So an artery clogging breaakfast was enjoyed by all - no wonder we have such a phenomenal rate of heart disease.... Everything in small doses eh!

Last night my sister was visiting so I made Bouilliabase, but a bit off of tradition. First I only used Shrimp, scallops and littleneck clams in the shell.
I sweated a large half bulb of sliced fennel with a little garlic, carrot and onion.
To that I added salt, some thyme, rosemary and orange peel (fresh) After sufficient sweating I added a quart of V8 juice, Clam juice and a little water. Brought that to a boil and simmered for about 15 minutes. Then I pulled out 2 of the 3 pieces of orange zeste and pureed everything else with an immersion blender. The seafood was then cooked as I brought the soups temp. back up.

The addition of pureeing the orange zeste as opposed to just getting a hint of orange from the oils really made a refreshing difference.

Simple meal tonight, BLT's. Wellshire Farms Hickory smoked bacon, romaine lettuce and some locally grown Hanover County, VA tomatoes. Oh yeah can't forget the Hellmans. All on some nicely toasted honey wheatberry bread. Plus a side a tater chips. This weekend we're going to an "End of Summer" block party. Haven't decided if I'm gonna break out a couple slabs of Spareribs I did up last month and use up my last quart of AppleJack BBQ or homemade Italian sausage sandwhiches. Could always do both. Plus if I use the last of the BBQ it gives me an excuse to make more. How's that sound Ole DMT?

There's only 1 way to make a BLT better, and that's to double the size and make it a BLT Sub!

Another comfort food meal at our house: homemade chicken pot pie. The chicken was leftover from a roasted chicken I made earlier in the week. I sauteed leeks, a clove of garlic, celery, carrot; added some chopped parsley and thyme; sprinkled it with a couple of tablespoons of flour, let that mellow a bit, then added a cup of chicken broth and a cup of milk. After that thickened up a bit I added some par-cooked potato cubes, and some frozen green beans and broccoli.

I went to the fridge for the store-bought pie crust I thought was there, but wound up making the pastry myself. Poured the filling in an oval baker, topped with crust, brushed it with egg wash and 35 minutes later we had a nice dinner.
