WHAT DID WE HAVE FOR TEA?

[Stanley]

Nothing as adventurous here Moh! I had six small scotch baps that were on offer. I had three for dinner and the same for tea using the last of the corned beef and haslet with beetroot. In case you're wondering, I generally favour bought bread like this because it is nowhere near as fattening as mine.... I'm beginning to think I should go back to using my own but cut thinner slices!

[Stanley]

I have a loaf in the machine this morning.... For dinner yesterday I had steak pudding, peas and chips made with sweet potato. Lovely! For tea two small currant teacakes with cheddar cheese and beetroot.

[Moh]

Rib eye steak, oven chips & salad tonight.

[Stanley]

I had two straight cheddar cheese butties on very small dying teacakes for dinner and for tea two very small sausages, some peas and the last sweet potato chipped and fried.

[Stanley]

I shopped for fruit yesterday and got a lovely big fresh cauliflower for 49p and some carrots. I steamed the cauli over a pan of carrots, a lovely way to cook it. I had half of the result with two small sausages for protein for dinner and the rest is in the fridge for dinner today. For tea I had a treat, two butties on home made bread, one bacon and tomato, the other fried eggs. A bit reckless but I'd had a heavy day and deserved it!

[Marilyn]

I often cook carrots/cauliflower like that too Stanley. It's yum.
Gourmet Beef Sausages tonight (I bought 4 small ones), with Mash, Baby Peas and Cauliflower. Febby requests Onion Gravy too.
Nice when the weather is a little cooler...though we haven't needed the heater on yet today. Still warm from our afternoon walk I think.

[Stanley]

Onion gravy is good stuff! One word about the cauli and carrots. I put some of the carrot water in the bowl to give a gravy and I suspect that was what had an alarming effect on my transit time! No problem but what you might call a good blow through!
Had the other half of the cauli, carrots and sausage for Dinner and a straight tomato and salad cream butty on home made bread for tea. Got the munchies but resisted them! Butcher's day today so treats are in the offing....

[Stanley]

Pressed beef and salad butty for dinner and for tea I toasted the crust left of the home made loaf, cut it into pobs, popped a cut up meat pie in with it and topped the lot with half a tin of beans.... Fruit for pudding and a corner of white Stilton with mangoes and ginger.... Good stuff but ridiculously expensive. Still, a little of what you fancy......

[Stanley]

Two small roast ham salad butties for dinner and two more on teacakes for tea....

[Stanley]

I had one very small corned beef and salad butty for dinner because I wanted to do Justice to tea at Jess's new house. Good job I did because she made a full roast beef dinner with all the trimmings and vegetables. I had a very good tea and stewed plums and cream for pudding. So nice to see a young woman cooking a 'proper' meal.... Her mother trained her well!

[Stanley]

One small corned beef and salad butty for dinner and Steak pudding, peas and chips for tea. (Sorry David.....)

[Moh]

Had bacon, egg & new potatoes last night - tonight is chinese flavoured chicken thighs, oven chops & corn.

[Stanley]

Last of the corned beef on a very small butty for dinner. Steak pudding and peas for tea with two small baps. For pudding I stewed plums and had them with out of sell-by date Jersey Cream Kath gave me on Friday.

[Moh]

Chicken curry tonight with rice & poppodoms.

[Stanley]

Two small butties on baps for dinner. Straight salad of lettuce and tomato. For tea I had three Lithuanian Kipper fillets (They're only small and a good cheap source of fish oil!) on two slices of my own bread with lettuce. Stewed plums and Jersey Cream for afters... Then an apple and a pear.... Healthy grub!

[Stanley]

I've popped in to post this pic. I had the last of the stewed plums to finish off and knowing the effect it has on my transit time I wanted to have it as early as possible.... I don't want to be uncomfortable tomorrow afternoon so instead of having two bacon baps I pulled the baps into small pieces, popped them in with the plums and cream and mixed them up. Just like sponge in trifle or a bread and butter pudding. It was lovely and just the right thing to do... A healthy, non fattening dinner!

[Stanley]

For tea I had a mackerel and salad butty. More healthy eating! I am well up on fish oil intake this week.

[Stanley]

Boiled ham butty with coleslaw and tomato for dinner and for tea, we stopped at the fish and chip shop, I got a fried fish and peas and had that on a butty for tea. Bit big but I deserved a treat!

[Stanley]

Two small ham salad butties for dinner and the same for tea but with corned beef. Cheap, simple and healthy.... Plenty of fruit for pudding!

[Stanley]

Two corned beef butties with salad for dinner. Did some fruit and veg shopping and got a large cauliflower (49p Maz) and some carrots. Usual drill, boiled the carrots and steamed the cauli on top. Had half of the result with a steak pudding for tea. Cauliflowers have been wonderful this year and these are wonderfully fresh, one of life's little pleasures and very healthy eating.

[Marilyn]

I bought a Cauli too, Stanley. (Two Pound Fifty!) A reasonable size and extremely fresh, but expensive.

Fish tonight for us...

[Stanley]

Maz... This one was so big that I still have a third of it left and some carrots. Had two very small pressed beef butties for dinner and half of the cauli and carrots left from yesterday plus some peas and a steak pudding for tea.

[Stanley]

Two small butties for dinner with salad, one with the last of the pressed beef and the other with Haslet. For tea I had the last of the cauli and carrots extended with peas. I topped up later with a very small cheese butty.
I committed one sin though, I bought 100gm of Blackcurrant and Liquorice sweets and ate nearly all of them.... I know! Give me a break, everyone needs a bit of a rebellion every now and again!

[Stanley]

I had two small straight salad butties for dinner and for tea I had half a cauli (49P), carrots and kipper fillets. Two bowls of cauli and cooked carrots left sat in the fridge....

[Stanley]

I had some bacon, sausages, sweet potatoes and spuds that needed using up so I had a cooking session. The sausages and bacon were grilled. The sweet and ordinary potatoes were boiled and mashed. Dinner and tea were cauli, carrots, mash and sausage and bacon. To tell the truth I enjoyed it so much I ate too much, or at least, more than usual. I have a bowl of mash and 3 sausages left in the fridge. It is butcher's day as well.
