This month’s food saw me being a little more British. I baked a lot more chicken (living at my aunt’s place made me realize baked chicken is almost always a one-way road to a quick and tasty dinner), attempted lasagna again, made bread pudding and custard to pour over it, tried some sort of beef and potato hash and even tried Chinese takeaway (unfortunately the first one was not something I could recommend).

I’ll also admit it though, the food this month looked more mysterious than before. We can only assume Jack is still alive out of his sheer determination to live.

Baked chicken glazed with honey, congee and green onion biscuits.

Fried chicken (takeaway), smoked salmon salad (Virgin Rail) and green onion biscuits.

Our basic go-to pasta dish: creamy, cheesy and full of freshly chopped tomatoes.

Probably my third attempt at lasagna here. And no, Mum, that’s not wine, that’s Ribena.

Our first attempt at ordering Chinese takeaway. Unfortunately this isn’t a place I’d recommend.

Fried chicken rice that wasn’t fried enough.

Another basic pasta dish: ground beef, hot sauce, tomatoes and ketchup. And broccoli for good measure.

Not a dinner but a dessert. Apologies for the lumpy custard – obviously I didn’t whisk the flour enough.

Beef and potato hash with onions. Sorta successful.
