Fancied something simple but tasty for my evening meal. Came up with this …
Tempura King Prawns, Green Salad (diced Cucumber, Capsicum, Celery, Scallions) in a lemon and black pepper dressing, Katsu dipping sauce, and a few grapes. Delicious and refreshing.

Oooh, that looks nice, sophisticated too.
Did you batter the prawns yourself?
Indeed I did - I love them!

Certainly looks a delish meal Tabby, I’ve never actually cooked a prawn would you believe? 
Here’s my today’s effort, a wholemeal loaf by hand, can’t wait to try a slice when it’s cooled…

@Barry - that looks really good, Barry, I can almost smell it from here. You cannot beat homemade bread.
Never cooked a prawn? You must give it a try - so quick, easy and tasty! Can you tell I like prawns?
How do you straighten them out?
I’ve only just mastered tempura batter using the very cold bottle of fizzy water method

Thank you!
No @Maree , but I must admit to the Kenwood doing most of the initial kneading…
Many thanks @Mags , I was quite amazed as to how good it turned out. I tried to make rolls a couple of weeks ago but I overcooked them I think, but the birds seemed to enjoy them regardless… 
Thanks @SilverTabby , it was better than I could have imagined, I may have to do it more often in fact… Regarding the prawns, I like them too, but where do you get them from, are they fresh or frozen? 
As my local fishmonger doesn’t often have Tiger/King prawns - I bought those in Morrison’s. You can buy frozen ones as well - but I prefer fresh.

Just on impulse I decided to make scones for tea. Unfortunately we haven’t got any clotted cream in the fridge so we’ll just have to manage with thick butter and jam…

I swap you a carton of double cream for a couple of those , Barry - they look delicious!
By the way - how is Alfie now?

They were really very nice thanks Tabby but we could only manage two each and the rest went in the freezer. … Really could have used some cream though, so the next time you are passing you bring the cream and we’ll supply the scones and a pot of tea…
Oh and Alfie is doing great thanks, as good as new for awhile…

Today we had Mississippi pot roast. It’s beef done in the slow cooker with some spices.
