WHAT DID WE HAVE FOR TEA?

[Stanley]

Remainder of the pea soup not frozen bit the dust yesterday dinnertime so I made some of my tomato relish and had that on a butty for tea. I popped a small topside joint in the oven last night and cooked it slowly. Just taken it out and wrapped it in foil to have a good rest. I see hot beef butties on the horizon!

Kale & mushroom lasagna from the River Cottage Veg cookbook. It sounds odd, but it was delicious.

chicken & mushroom pasty and peas Eileen

We had roast brisket, yorkshires, roast & mash potatoes, brussels & carrots yesterday - today is cold beef with bubble & squeak.

[Stanley]

Beef butties yesterday and at least one today. Have got some beef stew out of the freezer and I fancy porridge at dinnertime, it's definitely cold enough for it!

[Stanley]

Porridge for dinner and beef stew for tea plus some mince pies a friend brought me....

[Moh]

Had a lovely run out yesterday to Grassington and on to Settle via Halton Gill and over the hills (lots of snow up there) so we had fish & chips in Settle therefore it was a beef butty for tea. Sliced beef & onions in gravy with roasties & cabbage - 3 main meals and two lots of butties out of an £8. piece of brisket!!

[Stanley]

Moh, a good piece of beef is cheap meat. I casseroled a nice piece of Dexter rump steak with onions and garlic. When it was done I transferred it to a pan and added the stock from the Topside I cooked the other day and a bagful of broth bits. I'm fishing the meat out for butties and when that is done (about three butties worth) I shall have at least one good helping of rich veggie soup. Am having porridge for dinner this cold weather. A small bowl keeps me full till teatime. Marvellous how far you can stretch one small piece of rump steak!

[EileenDavid]

Our next door neighbours sent round a pan of broth with dumplings in it for our tea. Really good and nourishing said it was care in the community. Eileen

[Moh]

That's nce Eileen. Chicken & Chips tonight.

[Stanley]

Nowt like broth and little l;ads on a cold day! I had porridge at dinnertime and a butty made with the end of a piece of roast beef that was laid on the slicer at the butcher's yesterday. Kath didn't charge me for it as I was cleaning up for her. Another hot beef butty at teatime fished out of the veggie broth. It's getting better by the day so I shall have porridge for dinner and broth and a meat pie for tea.

[Moh]

Beef chasseur tonight with mash & carrots.

[EileenDavid]

steak & kidney pie and peas. Eileen

[Stanley]

Porridge with a banana sliced into it at dinner and half a bowl of veggie soup and a meat pie for tea. I had to use my will power after tea, I kept fancying cheese on toast but managed to ignore it! Kept thinking of all those fat people waddling down the street!

[EileenDavid]

Well done Stanley on resisting the temptation. I have two fridge magnet's one of a mouse with Say no to a nibble and another of a pig which says 1 minute on the lips a lifetime on the hips. They seem to work for me Eileen

[Stanley]

I once bought daughter Margaret a light activated pig that sat in the fridge until you opened the door and the light came on, then it started to grunt! Mags said she was glad when the battery ran down!
I had the munchies again last night but resisted. Porridge for breakfast, burger and egg butty for dinner and the last half bowl of veggie soup and a meat pie for tea. Filled up with a banana, an apple and a pear. Love my fruit in the evenings..... I'm looking at tomato relish, black pudding and cured ribs in the fridge for today...... Something will occur to me!

[EileenDavid]

Going out for Sunday lunch so will only have a snack for tea. Eileen

[Moh]

We had chicken thighs and garlic in a chinese wine sauce. Toast shoulder of lamb today.

[Stanley]

Porridge for dinner and I marinaded the ribs before grilling them to put a crust on them and then popping them in a casserole with a few bits floating around in the fridge. Had a butty with the beans and gravy on for tea, very tasty. I'll have the rest today, perhaps with rice.

[EileenDavid]

Went out for lunch I had peppered chicken with the veg and chips. One of the veg was sprouts but couldn't get the fork in them to cut them they didn't seem to have been cooked. The rest was good. Then followed Stanley's example and had a butty for tea. Eileen

[Moh]

I roasted not toasted the lamb. Cold lamb tonight with mash, roast sweet potato, carrot & parsnip mash, cauliflower & gravy tonight,

[Stanley]

Good job you aren't feeding me Moh! Put some pasta shells with the spare ribs and stretched them. Enough for at least one meal today.

[Stanley]

Finished the rib and pasta at dinnertime and a cheese and tomato butty for tea.

[EileenDavid]

Pork steak and veg followed by strawberries. Eileen

[Moh]

Chilli & garlic bread last night, meat & potato pie tonight made with shin beef which is slowly cooking in the oven.
