What's for dinner?

..I do 90% of the cooking in our house... (I'm pretty good at it to be truthful)... I love it!... until about 6-7 years ago I couldn't cook anything at all... what changed that was my dear beloved wife had to go into Hospital for a couple of weeks and I faced either 2 weeks of takeaway meals or starvation... I grabbed a recipe book and cooked myself a Chinese stir-fry and it tasted fantastic!!!... from that moment onwards I was hooked lol!... I've been cooking ever since... the three things I that I love to do the best is Lobster Mornay/Pork Belly and American Spare Ribs among other things... there are lots of others but they are my favourites lol!... cheers.

Spriralised zucchini with mushroom and tomato sauce. So healthy!

Preceded by cheese and biscuits and followed by chocolate, because I don't want to shock my system too much.

Ha ha. Chocolate? Did someone say chocolate? Where are my car keys?

A choice of three blocks of Lindt, Bluefin. Sea Salt Caramel, Orange Intense, and Mint Intense.

Apparently, chocolate in moderation is very good for your health. Surely, chocolate in excess should be better?

Ooooo ..... Orange Intense, Jam. That has my fancy! Does very high moderation count? With Terry's Chocolate Orange in the ball you have to crack to separate into segments, I always think it's such a lot of fiddling to put it back together to wrap up again.

What did you choose?

OH WOW - I am going to try this tomorrow night - I love Balsamic and I have a local olive oil here, that is infused with rosemary - sounds awesome :)

Nice! I forgot to add a drizzle of olive oil on top of the sweet potato for extra flavour.

I am bored with the supermarket olive oil. Just tastes the same
 
We were talking about what we were going to feast on at work on Christmas Day, all two of us. I was mentioning my yummy potato salad and then I thought of chocolate mousse. We wondered if KFC will be open, lol.

Haha, how did you know? That description is not helping me either, although I had some fresh pineapple earlier in the year and it wasn't tooooo bad, not sure I'll try this concotion just yet though.

Now this appeals to my sensibilities a bit more.
 
Ok, so I need a recipe for biscuits and if possible to use marmalade that my dad made for me. I am imaging a buttery type biscuit with a dollop of jam in the middle but have no idea what to do. I do not personally want to use a recipe out there and fail it because what a waste of freshly made marmalade.

My mum used to do her jam drops with apricot jam, marmalade etc. - try taste.com.au for a Jam Drop recipe and replace the jam with marmalade. ADDIT: I just searched "marmalade" on taste.com.au and there are yummy sounded recipes for marmalade glazed cakes, pikelets and glazed ham and pork!

I'm on it!
 
Thanks @delcan. Made the jam drops but with marmalade instead. Was quick and easy and just going to wait for 15 minutes for them in the oven.

Not making dinner tonight. So much left over from last night. Just going to make chicken wraps with the left over chicken.
