In sorting out the freezer for the redcurrant I found a box marked beef pie filling.  So I am going to make a pie!  I'll put some veggies with it .... or maybe a salad.   :unsure:

Anyway how about a Naverin of Lamb for a change? 

Id call that a casserole  ::)  I minced it in the end using the worlds most useless hand grinder - seriously, it too me just over and hour to grind 400g of raw lamb.  :ohmy: :mad:

I have the CBA fairy for dinner tonight  - she just wants the left over mash with a bit of butter on  :nowink:  Too tired, too hot.

I'm thinking about nuking a spud, I'll probably still be thinking about it at bed time.   ::)

Keep on lookin' ...

I have 2 butchers left to try in the local area, I can see me becoming a vegetarian at this rate due to the tripe being sold as sirloin.

Have you thought of having a big cook up & portioning it up then freezing for days like this. Or cook double & freeze 1. Or homemade soups are better than nothing

I do get the problem - it is too warm to eat till late and then hard to be bothered.  OH is the way I get round this - no way will he go to bed until fed.  We are getting very spanish in our eating hours.

Tonight was a quiche made with bacon and onion and for the first time creme fraiche instead of cream in the custard (long story why it was lurking in the fridge).  Worked quite well but needs refinement ...  which is a good excuse to do it again.  ::)    There is another one for a picnic lunch on Weds.  Salad and fresh rolls to accompany.  Now I am warm (too warm) and round and full and heading for bed ...

Tonight is omelettes (I've been making ice cream and have a lot of egg whites to use), french peas and potato cakes.  Keeping it simple for once - except for the rolls I need to make for tomorrow.  ::)

It's finding the time, a normal day is 16 hours; by the end of it I could easily pass as an extra in "The Walking Dead".

Having said that I've just put some pasta on so I can use up the fresh pesto I made a few days ago.

Wish it was work Snow at least Id be getting paid for it  :D I'm still having to do 8 hours a day at ML's  :(

I've pinched an hour for some me time today, the plan was for wedges, egg and beans but the weather is suggesting a nuked spud and a salad.

Just a thought Larders, but could you get a slow cooker installed at Mother Lard's?  Then you could get some bulk meals cooked while you were there or between visits.

We are having tortilla bake - basically soft tortilla wraps layered with chilli from the freezer, a no- cook sauce of soft cheese thinned out with milk and with seasoning, herbs and garlic added and layers of grated cheese.

Its in the fridge having been assembled earlier and will be slung in the oven as and when we both get home  :)

I had big back tooth removed, this morning, so goodness knows if I'll be able to manage anything for tea - all I really fancy is a nice hot cup of Rosie Lee but that's verboten until tomorrow *sigh*
