Potato and egg salad

Hello , today I was eating alone and had some potatoes to use from the garden. I decided to make potato salad as the weather has been kind I am in the mood for something a bit lighter than usual.
This potato salad isn't like the mayonnaise based ones in the supermarket, the dressing is lighter and I have also added some herbs from the garden for good measure:
This is enough for one; if you're feeding more simply multiply the ingredients.
Ingredients:
Handful of new potatoes- scrubbed but not peeled
1 large egg
Chives and mustard cress- couple of teaspoons of each
Mustard -English or Dijon
olive oil
Quarter onion-sliced
Vinegar
Salt


Method:
Drop the potatoes in to a pan of boiling water, cook until tender. Meanwhile cook the egg in boiling water until hard boiled (about 8-10 mins).
To make the dressing mix the mustard and vinegar, then whisk in about 100ml of olive oil. set the dressing aside.
When they are cooked roughly chop the potatoes and egg and add to a large bowl. add the onion, herbs and pour over the dressing whist everything is still warm. This will allow all the flavours to penetrate the salad. Serve warm.
I served this with fish-cod, but I think it would also go nicely with salmon, tuna or even grilled chicken.
Bon appetit!!!

what a day!!

well today was a disastrous day. I won't bore you with the details but needless to say, I probably won't forget it in a long while. Anyway I went on a course during the day, I wasn't doing the course, just observing. Wasn't too bad. Anyway as to what I cooked today I really fancied fish and chips so I went to Sainsbury's on my way back and got some veg oil. the after a bit of Pilate's and some gardening, i set about making our dinner. (the bf is back from his work trip, I probably wouldn't have bothered making it for one). As a mark of healthy eating I decided to oven cook the chips- I find it easier this way and obviously less oily. Then I set about frying my battered fish. the fish had its skin on and although I don't eat the skin (I know that there is nothing wrong with it, I'm just funny like that) I left it on because i couldn't be bothered to remove it. I had forgotten how dangerous deep frying can be, I had to grab something to cover my arms because they kept on getting spat with oil. anyway the end result wasn't brilliant, edible yes but it wasn't going to win any Michelin stars, the batter was a little too soggy and the chips were a bit raw. i hate it when that happens- you're looking forward to something then when you have it it's disappointing. xx
