Sounds tasty Kev. We had poached salmon, cauliflower and broccoli topped with cream & grated cheese, plus sprouts fried in butter...

Cream and grated cheese, a great topping for most green things

I did sprouts with bacon on boxing day, they were good

. I forgot to get the chestnuts to go with them though...

We have loads of sprouts to get through as Col would keep buying them before Xmas even though I kept telling him that I had plenty in the garden! Good job we like them.....though most things taste good when they are fried in butter.

"We have loads of sprouts to get through as Col would keep buying them before Xmas"

Did you notice the 'Veg wars' just before Christmas. Lidl have for a while used veg as a loss leader with several offerings each week, at 29p . Tesco copied this in the week before Christmas, and I was finally able to achieve my long held ambition of getting a cauliflower for less than Choudarys are selling them.

Not to be outdone - Lidl immediately dropped their veg price to 19p for the last few days.
I'm in a very similar position to Col at the moment. Luckily I like them too.

PS Do you fry them from raw, or parboil them first?

Fry from raw Tripps though I halve or quarter them first. Col kept bringing cauliflowers home too, saying they were so cheap he had to buy them. I am just about to make some cauli soup!

It's been a good year for caulis.....
I had the mutton and veggies again X 2 with a bag of crisps and some nuts after tea.

Same as yesterday but without the crisps!

Pulled some home-made leftover Lasagne from the freezer this morning. Might have it with air-fried chips.
Hopefully we will get the pantry restored tomorrow and normal kitchen service will resume. Tomorrow's lunch guests have cancelled, so that is one headache out of the way. ( we had been considering buying Fish and Chips for them and eating at the tables near the beach, because my table is full of all the pantry contents.)

I finished the mutton and veggies. Had to extend it with some sausages but that was OK! Butcher's Day today....

Mrs P. says that the hospital consultants used to go ballistic if any diabetic patients said they ate crisps. Sorry Stanley but you're on the naughty step for that.

I bet they would go ballistic if they knew about my husband's chocolate bullet intake too!

Crumbed Prawns tonight. Special occasion - Wedding Anniversary.
I'm not cooking them though. Tonight they will be bought. It is way too hot and windy to eat them on the beach though..

Ah, but it raises the interesting question as to whether I am diabetic or not P. According to the docs I am 'pre-diabetic' and from my blood tests I am in better nick that them! So what I eat is governed by how I feel. An occasional bag of good crisps isn't a death sentence!
I had steak pudding and peas for dinner and black pudding and fried egg for tea followed by apple pie and cream.

Post by **Stanley** » 07 Jan 2018, 06:15

I had a Scotch egg and coleslaw for dinner and the same for tea but with the addition of two small chicken legs. Apple Pie and cream for pudding! Ready for a big cook in this morning on free leccy!

Post by **Stanley** » 08 Jan 2018, 04:37

Two small pork pies for dinner and the mutton and veggies came on stream for tea. Lovely! Tons of veggies and very little fat.

The mutton and veggies for dinner and tea.... No afters needed, lovely warming grub!

Post by **Stanley** » 10 Jan 2018, 04:48

Mutton and veggies X two for dinner and tea with some really good mature cheddar that Susan gave me on biscuits for a treat!

Post by **Wendyf** » 10 Jan 2018, 08:04

Fish pie made with haddock in a cream sauce topped with cheesy cauliflower mash and served with sprouts.

Sally had made a mixed bean casserole so I had a portion of that along with a roasted chicken breast.

Post by **Stanley** » 11 Jan 2018, 04:46

Same as yesterday, one helping of the mutton left for today.

Marilyn · Post by **Marilyn** » 11 Jan 2018, 07:33

Baked Beans.
He loves them, I am not so keen. I ate enough to satisfy my hunger, but the rest went in the bin...

Post by **Travis** » 11 Jan 2018, 09:46

We ate the same as Big Kev, a Barlick Raj Wednesday buffet. Very nice too.

It was and we had a 'right good chat' as well

Post by **Stanley** » 12 Jan 2018, 05:10

I had sausage, sweet potato chips and two eggs for dinner and the last of the mutton and veg for tea.

Post by **Stanley** » 13 Jan 2018, 05:09

Steak pudding and mushy peas for dinner. Scotch egg and baked beans for tea followed by cream trifle and Stilton on small water biscuits. (very small ones Wendy!!) Today is veggie shopping and the last of the mutton is thawing in the fridge. I have ordered another sheep!

Marilyn · Post by **Marilyn** » 13 Jan 2018, 05:38

Ham, Cheese and Tomato toasties tonight. ( basically because I can't be bothered cooking! I am going through another one of my can't-be-bothered-cooking stages.)
