White Hake, new potatoes, garden peas & parsley sauce tonight.

Keeping your long chain Omega3 up Moh. Good dietary planning....
I had Steak pudding chips and peas for dinner and pie and peas for tea....

Ham and Cheese Croissants tonight...

Chicken curry with pilau rice and chapattis tonight.

Half a two shear leg cooked slowly on the stove on a bed of onions. Meat fished out and de-boned at lunchtime and pan topped up with sprouts and celery. So lamb butties for dinner and tea. The veggies stew left overnight on the hob in the kitchen and this morning I've filled the pan with the rest of the celery and a bunch of carrots and put it back on the stove for a slow warm up and cook. This latest batch of two shear is lovely meat, plenty of fat marbled into the flesh which means that when cold it carves like butter....

Slow cooked brisket on a bed of onions & garlic, new potatoes, cauliflower, carrots, yorkies & gravy tonight.

A bowl of veggie stew with bread for dinner. I had a steak pudding that needed eating so I popped it on top of the stew for its teatime warm up, made some chips and had steak pudding chips and a top up of the stew. Good warming grub!

Cold beef, roast potatoes & parsnips, swede & carrot, yorkies & gravy.

I had the two shear stew with chips X two for dinner and tea and there is one helping left..... Like all stews, it just gets better and better!

Chilli con carne tonight with cheese and sun dried tomato bread - ideal for cold weather.

Last of the stew with chips for dinner. There was some bread left from last week so I toasted two slices and had a grilled bacon and baked beans butty for tea. Waste not want not....

Pulled pork, roasties & corn tonight.

Roast belly pork tonight. Different thing done with potatoes, I sliced them not too thin and put them under the rack the pork was roasting on for about an hour. Interesting articles about statins etc tonight on the news! I must jog around the kitchen whilst cooking with animal fats.

Dream on Jules! Take heart, saturated fats keep the cold out!
I had one old crust left over and best part of a tin of beans in the fridge so Toasted the crust, cut it into pobs and had them with a bowl full of hot beans for dinner. Tea was an old favourite, three small current teacakes with grated cheddar and sliced onions soaked all day in vinegar.

Cheese and onions on 3 small teacakes for dinner and two small fried egg butties on teacake for tea. Object of exercise achieved, no old bread in the house this morning. I like a straight edge once a week and as Kath usually gives me a loaf Friday is a good day to get there.

You get spoilt Stanley.
Chicken & garlic stir fry tonight.

You're right Moh, Kath seems to have a soft spot for me. Perhaps because she was in Berlin at about the same time I was and we knew a lot of the same places.... Funnily enough, she had no bread yesterday but gave me some broken Xmas biscuits instead.
Had Steak pudding chips and peas for dinner while a nice piece of braising steak (£4) cooked slowly on a bed of onions in a foil covered tray on the stove in the front room. I had half the steak on a butty for tea, lovely....

Casserole steak, new potatoes, & parsnip and carrot mash tonight.

I had the remainder of the braised steak on a butty for dinner and used the onions and gravy as sauce on a meat pie with some peas for tea.

Roast shoulder of lamb, new potatoes, cauliflower cheese, garden peas & gravy tonight.

Braising Steak is probably one of the best meat products there is. We are having that today plus crisp roast potatoes, new potatoes, cauliflower florets, chopped carrot and swede, and of course Yorkshire puds. Two pieces of steak today and the other two tomorrow with chips, peas and the remaining puds. All with magnificent gravy.

I boiled some spuds and carrots yesterday and mashed them. Used it with a steak pudding for dinner and a meat pie for tea. Very small helping at teatime so I could have a small Blue Gloucester cheese and coleslaw butty for afters.... The Co-op had an offer on of almost out of date cheese at knock down prices. Of course this meant that it was at its peak!
Later, sausage and onions. Looks good enough to eat!

No cooking for us tonight, it will be some kind of Indian fare, not decided what yet. The lads at Usmaniyah will be sorting us out. Meals for two won in a raffle the other week so gratefully received tonight as we are quite busy with the wedding preparations. Byriani or a straight curry, decisions, decisions.

The sausage and onions together with the mashed carrots and spuds with a few peas made a good dinner. Another small helping for tea and enough left over for dinner today. Amazing what can be done with six sausage, two onions and a bit of ingenuity.... Very tasty as well!

The last of the mash and sausage for dinner. I had a bag of broth bits so popped them in a pan with an Oxo cube, two onions and four well grilled fat bacon rashers, cut up and tipped in with the fat as well.



About four hours on a warm stove, it never came to the boil, and we had some very tasty cheap veggie stew. Had it for tea and there's a helping left over for today.
