90 degrees, where do you lie Linda? Its only 26 degrees here in Essex.
Today we had:
Pork Belly Strips, Roast Potatoes, Cabbage & Swede.
Tonight I am going to have: Scrambled Eggs on Toast.
Iâm in the U.S. Midwest, in Ohio.
Mmmmmmm, scrambled eggs on toast. That sounds so good right now.
Yes fresh eggs bought yesterday from Neighbours Hens, freshly laid.
Wow, now thatâs fresh! I just bought a dozen from our local farm market. They get their eggs from a chicken farmer not far from here. Having one tonight on a BLT 
Because THIS is a beautiful thingâŠ
Ive gone off chicken reallyâI never seem able to cook it properly nowâalthough I have an oven in my microwave-its still not like the oven in my cookerâwhich is still not working.
But had lovely meal tonightâsalmonâdone in microwave ovenâgrated carrot and appleâplus chopped pepper and celeryâplus a sauce for my salmon made with fromage frais and a little teri yaki sauceâso tasty !!
Okay, Iâm going to ask a strange, but sincere question⊠why would anyone cook chicken (or fish) in a microwave???
Not the same in a microwave.
Mariana, you can always cook your chicken breasts or fish in the frying pan, you only need to spray a tiny bit of oil in the pan.
That Linda looks really tasty.
The Eggs you buy in the supermarkets are not that fresh, yours probably is Linda, but iâm talking in general, and when you cook them the York is not deep yellow like it should be.
Today we are having homemade Vegetable Curry and some Pasta shells.
Iâd much rather do that than use a microwave to cook chicken & fish, although I have come across a few microwave recipes for both. I donât have the courage to try them.
It was fabulous. I may have another one tonight 
Very true. Basic supermarket eggs are rather boring and tasteless. But our supermarkets also carry organic eggs and eggs from cage-free hens that are free to roam and eat grass and other natural things, besides being given a diet of nothing but seed filled with antibiotics while being crammed into cages. The eggs I always buy are Happy Egg Co.
Theyâre much more expensive than basic eggs, but theyâre worth it. Large, brown eggs, very tasty and have a deep, rich orange yolk; not pale yellow. And this article says they originated in the UK. Do you have these there?
Sounds good. Well, except the curry part 
Iâm having fish and scallops for lunch. I need a veg, though.
Because I do not have a working ovenâjust the oven in my microwaveâa proper convection ovenâŠworks well mostly-but chicken never seems roghtâhowever i got some chicken fillets out the freezer and will try them again tonightâmaybe with teriyaki sauceâŠI am not sure aboit frying my chicken or fishâI have 2 ceramic hobsâbut i am not used to working with electric hobs, so its still trial and errorâbought the hobs when I was told my cooker was not working rightâso ive got no grill eitherâ
Electric isnât so bad. It took me a while to get used to electric stovetops years ago when I was used to cooking with gas, but I figured the only way for me to get used to them is to jump in and start cooking.
Have you ever considered a stovetop grill? Itâs a flat griddle that you lay over the hobs and just use the hobs to heat the griddle. You can also buy an electric skillet. Theyâre great, not only for frying, but for roasting as well. Like one of theseâŠ

Theyâre not that expensive and they do so much. With these you have temperature control. I love mine.
I have not seen these before Lindaâi will check them outâmaybe AmazonâŠ
I could not see one that was like your picture Lindaâlooked in Amazonâbut I do have a grilling machineâjust a flat oneâI used it to make toasties for my ex BFâso I guess I could use thatâŠ
Is this the sort of thing-in Amazon at a really good priceâinc free pp
well , whateverâit was such a good priceâgood reviewsâI just went and ordered itâŠ
Yes, I have one of those as well. Theyâre wonderful for grilling chicken and fish and making awesome panini sandwiches.
Good choice! 
that is what i am hoping forâgrilling my meatâfishâmaybe home made burgersâŠI do not have paninis or toasties now----but maybe in the winterâon the odd ocasion i could be temptedâŠ
I love panini sandwiches. Ham & cheese toasties are good, too. Toss some onion and tomato or sweet bell pepper on there to add some goodness.
But yes, those machines are great for grilling chicken, burgers and fish.
I knowâI always made a lovely cheese and pickle toastie for me ex BFânot paniniâordinary toasting breadâbut they were really goodâI think my machine will arrive at the beginning of next week, cant wait to try itâŠ
Theyâre fun little appliances to have. Besides sandwiches and grilling meats, you can also grill vegetables and fruit and make shrimp skewers, eggs, bacon and a bunch of other things.
Hereâs a cool page with other ideasâŠ
And Iâm not sure if the one you ordered does this, but mine opens completely up and lays down so both plates of the press can be used for standard grilling, like thisâŠ
