A day of sowing all kinds of beans so a break for lunch;
Liver with onion gravy, boiled potatoes, carrots and peas.

Then tea will be on the half/half breadmaker loaf just doing and toasted later to have all these on top;
Welsh Rarebit
Chestnut and portabello mushrooms cooked in butter.
Picked and cooked in that mushroomed butter, some Asparagus
Tinned Sardines.

Will finish off with some homemade raspberry ice cream from freezer.

Pork belly slices that were reduced in the Co-op today.  They are nice and lean, so I am thinking of cubing them up and making a curry. 

I did much the same - I had left over curry and rice and mixed it in with a half bag of stir-fried veg. 

I blame MoS for setting me off on curry munchies

Roast Chicken
Picked sage, thyme and parsley to make a stuffing.
Roosters form potato shed will be roasted

Just picked a huge spring cabbage
Bought swede/carrots and some frozen peas.

Lamb chops, with wedges and Greek salad 

This didn't happen as I was whisked out for a surprise meal (I had Bass fillets and spring vegetables) so I'll be cooking the lamb chops today

Lovely!  Special occasion?

I'm on risotto tonight with the turkey stock made yesterday and some mushrooms that are lurking in the fridge.

Heading to the US for inspiration today - glazed chicken breasts, cajun spiced wedges and a sweetcorn casserole (sweetcorn, peppers, butter, cream and seasoning stirred together, turned into a baking dish and put in the oven).

Last night I was out doing a course until expected 8.30pm (actually we finished a bit early) so I left a pork casserole in the slow cooker, with a loaf in the bread machine and strict instructions to take it out at 8pm.  Worked well.

Tonight is cottage pie and runners - I'll make two while I am at it (with lots of veg hidden in there) so there will be an easy dinner for before the Allotment Society Meeting (aka a pint and a whinge) tomorrow.

Using up the Sunday roast chicken.
Chicken Curry yesterday.

Just making a chicken and sweetcorn flan, made with cheesy pastry.
Served with some of our frozen broad beans and homemade potato croquettes.

I have chicken defrosting, not sure what to do with it yet, though

I have chicken defrosting today, but it is a pie filling with bacon and mushrooms.  Yup - pie tonight

Leftover chicken turned into Coronation chicken served over a jacket spud with salad bits

Bought 1/2lb of mince & a focaccia on our travels today & then some posh dried pasta & a basil & tomato sauce (last 2 were from the lovely farm shop at Tebay services), so its meatballs in tomato & Basil sauce with tagliatelle & focaccia 😊
Tomorrow it's the 2 chicken breasts in a garlic, onion & tomato sauce with wedges & maybe fried rice, that just about uses everything up before we head home on Friday

Its a neighbourhood meeting and we are hosting tonight.
Its a monthly thing and its usually pizza or a curry.
The pizzas have all been bought in from shops or takeaway. The last time it was papa johns and everybody agreed they were just disgusting. Dominoes the time before and they did not go down that well either.
So I'm making twelve of my own with our own frozen tomato paste.
Picked some fresh chives, sage and parsley from the garden. Had to buy some basil, ours is about an inch high at mo.

Went to lidl for toppings;
A load of different cheeses, cheddar, smoked cheddar, mozzarella, Brie, Gorgonzola, Emmental and Grana Padano
Salami packs, German sausage, Polish Krakowska, pepperoni.
Olives, will serve as a side dish as not everyone likes.
Be making some lamb koftas too, with some lamb mince.
Will make a big side salad using baby spinach and some of our lettuce thats growing in the greenhouse, but substituted with some bought lettuce too and just going to make a few jugs of different homemade mayonaise dressings.

Real shame its not summer as could add homegrown sliced toms and loads more different lettuce leaves.

Someone else is bringing round two chocolate cakes of some sort.

Like your neighbourhood!  Yum.

Here it was a freezer curry raid last night - Pork madras (I don't know how long that had been in there but it was nice), bombay potatoes, and I did some rice to go with.

Tonight it is grilled turkey steaks, mushrooms and tomatoes, with jackets and runners.  I'm working on making space in the freezer for the ice cream...  I just need some summer sunshine to go with it!
