I'll start with sous vide pork chops (bone in) with a rub of garlic, rosemary, freshly ground salt and pepper, French wholegrain and English mustard, with a dash of cider vinegar. Pan fried after the sous vide. Planning to serve with wilted samphire and oven roasted wee tomatoes, and boiled potatoes sauteed in salted butter. Would you add a sauce ? If so, what and how ?

No sauce for me - lots of nice flavours with the pork chops which I think would be lost if you added a sauce.

I had a bowl of beans with grated melted cheese through it with a cheesy top with a side of garlic bread followed by a slice of McVities Jamaica Ginger washed down with a bottle of sprite

Dinner of champions. How did you make the garlic bread ? Ciabatta or baton ? Garlic mixed with the butter or rubbed onto the bread ?

I agree with Jen, no sauce required there, although if you had to do anything, then aye something with the mustard. Perhaps mixed with butter and slowly melted down to drizzle over before serving?

BTW for garlic butter yer better roasting the garlic first. Fire the bulbs into the oven whole. When you cut it open its like a paste and isn't as sharp as just mixing it raw with the butter and parsley. Last few times I've just bought garlic butter from tesco tbh. Lot less fancying around, and just as good. Perfect shape for making Keiv's too. 

I made spicy sausage and bean casserole today at work. Very very simple but is a big favourite. Served with warm ciabatta.

We tried a couple of culinary experiments at the weekend.  Both came out great.

Sat night. - Chilli Nachos.  Made my champions league chilli.  Involves cooking down the mince for some considerable time and adding carefully selected herbs and spices, lots of garlic and then the usual chilli ingredients.  Dark Chocolate is also involved.  Also, as a wee twist, put chicken thighs in the oven, once well cooked and crisped up, shred them and add to the chilli.  Pour the chilli over the nachos and add cheese, and put back in oven to melt cheese. Marvelous. Served with a Margaux and followed by quite a lot of Angostura 1919 Rum.

Sun Late afternoon - Chicken Broth.  Chicken  thighs and legs in a large casserole dish with heaps of baby vine tomatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, celery, one potato, butter beans, samphire, seasoning and herb.  Shove in oven for at least a few hours - serve with hot buttered bread (which dips into the broth nicely).  Again marvelous.  Served with a chilled Picpoul.

Now on soup for the rest of the week!
