Dinner Time!

We try to cook the majority of the time, but at least once a week we succumb to one of the restaurants near us for take-out. If I were in Ireland, I'd never be getting take away frequently because of the cost and fatty content of takeaway food, but there is so much variety here that we can eat healthily, and its all very reasonably priced. We have a ton of restaurants near to us - Greek, Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Mexican, Ukranian, Italian and good ol' Canadian food.

 Take-away sushi - BC rolls, Dynamite rolls and California rolls

Mexican prawns (and chilis I mistook for green peppers, scarfed down and nearly died from), tortilla chips and a giant margerita!



I really enjoy cooking though, and recently, I've tried to experiment and cook new things. I LOVE potatoes but decided to try sweet potato chips for a change with our dinner of soy sauce-marinaded pork and peas. 

 

We bought two huge sweet potatoes but quickly realised we'd need only one between the two of us - you get a lot of chips from them! I just tossed them in olive oil and stuck them in the oven.

I've also started making home-made pizza (from my Mums recipe) and garlic pizza bread

One of my favourites to make is egg fried rice. This one has prawns, green beans, peas, onions, garlic, beansprouts and soy sauce.

Unfortunately, it doesn't photograph very well, but trust me it's yummy!
