WHAT DID WE HAVE FOR TEA?

[Stanley]

I'm impressed by your adventurous cooking.... I had well fried tomatoes and one sausage on two small butties for dinner and one sausage, one tomato and two eggs, all fried in rape oil, on three oven bottoms for tea. Lovely butties!

[Moh]

Chilli & jacket spuds tonight.

[Stanley]

Two Stilton and tomato butties for dinner. For tea I thawed and grilled two Mutton chops and had two good butties. The gravy in the pan was so good I couldn't throw it away so I mopped it up with another oven bottom and had a third butty!
By the way, I don't know if I mentioned the large block of mature cheddar I bought because it was a good price.... Too big for me and a mistake. Daughter Susan has taken it off my hands to I can buy cheese again!

[Wendyf]

Cheese freezes well Stanley, you could cut it into smaller pieces and freeze it. We buy cheap hard cheese and grate it before freezing.

[Stanley]

Just didn't fancy it Wendy, it went to a good home!
I'm having a push to eat the last of the Mutton in the freezer so I can defrost and order another old ewe. Dinner and tea yesterday were both Mutton butties made with slow cooked chops and steaks. I have some more defrosting in the fridge for today.....

[Wendyf]

An omelette (or frittata) with mushrooms, onions, green pepper & cheese served with steamed asparagus & mange tout....all cooked on one ring. The difficult bit was turning the eggy thing over to cook the other side, not having an oven or grill.

[Marilyn]

what have you done with your oven, grill and other burners then pet....?

[Wendyf]

All gone......

[Moh]

Rump steak & onions with new potatoes, green beans & cabbage tonight.

[PanBiker]

I have a chicken breast in the fridge, will probably turn it into a topping with onion and tomato for tagliatelle with pesto and a bit of cheese.

[Stanley]

Only a ham hock and four chops left so I defrosted the freezer yesterday. I slow cooked 4 chops yesterday. Had one on an oven bottom for dinner and three on three oven bottoms for tea.

[Marilyn]

Salmon Cakes, with a medley of veg.
Shopping in the morning, so have cleared the veg drawer in the fridge...

[Stanley]

Two small pressed beef butties for dinner. I got some carrots and parsnips, boiled them slowly, mashed them and added a bunch of peas. I had a Cornish Pasty for tea with some of the veg.

[Stanley]

Two small pressed beef butties for dinner. A meat pie and veggies for tea followed by Rhubarb and custard thanks to Wendy. I was going to make proper custard with the fresh eggs she gave me but in the end copped out and bought Ambrosia Cream custard.... Sorry....

[Wendyf]

Much too much effort involved in making custard!
Salmon steaks with stir fried veggies last night, Col is making a moussaka for tonight.

[Stanley]

Is there no end to this man's talents?
Steak pudding and the last of the veggies for dinner. A fresh boiling of carrots, swede and added peas made and mashed. Meat pie and veggies for tea. Both meals accompanied by Rhubarb and custard for pudding. Filled a corner later with an oven bottom with crunchy peanut butter and tomato.

[Julie in Norfolk]

Had roast pork for dinner last night, accompanied (amongst other things) by some freshly shot carrots. Those are the sort that have been freshly liberated from a local(ish) field by one of the farming community, and laid upon our doorstep.

[Marilyn]

Lovely...you don't get anything left on your doorstep round 'ere ( though we do have one lady living on the corner who is being driven out of her mind with folk not picking up their dog's poo)
Spinach and Ricotta Cheese filled Pasta with Red Salmon and Cauliflower tonight, in a white/Cheese Sauce. ( ate too much but it was yum)

[Marilyn]

I've made a Chicken and Veg Stew...which I shall turn into a thing of wonder later by popping a Suet Crust Pastry on it and throwing it in the oven.

[Stanley]

Proper beef suet I hope Maz.....
I had the last of the veggies with a steak pudding for dinner and three butties on oven bottoms for tea. High class butties, Garlic paste, peanut butter, Lea and Perrins, Stilton cheese and tomatoes. Don't knock it, be adventurous!

[Marilyn]

But of course!

[Stanley]

Good. Pleased to hear it, I hate the vegetarian variety, always seems greasy to me.
I had an egg day thanks to Wendy. A three egg omelette for dinner with tomato and Lancashire cheese. For tea I had a small cauliflower (They have been poor quality and as much as £1.29 lately but yesterday they had good heads at 89p), no dressing apart from a small amount of butter and topped up with two oven bottoms with cheese and tomato. The cauliflower was a nice change....

[Stanley]

Four sausages and the last four mutton chops cooked slowly in the oven. Fat and gravy drained off and separated. Dinner was two sausage, two eggs, baked beans and sweet potato chips. Tea was two mutton chop butties on oven bottom.

[Stanley]

I reversed the order, butties for dinner and the proper meal for tea.... That's cleared the fridge and the veggies, ready for the butcher's this morning!

[Stanley]

Did some veggie shopping and had Cauliflower and parsnip for dinner. I lit the stove and cooked a ham hock and pease pudding so tea was cauliflower, parsnips, pease pudding and a steak pudding. I have an embarrassment of food in the fridge!
