Turkey (from a slow cookered drumstick), with calabrase (amazed it is still going) in cheese sauce and steamed potatoes.  The rest of the turkey meat will join the slow cookered veg for a casserole later in the weekend ....

Fish pie with fruit crumble.. now that's a combination worthy of Heston Blumenthal!  :D :D :D

Last night was chicken korma, rice, onion bahjis, poppadoms and pickles. Tonight is steak, chips, peas and garlic mushrooms. Finally, chips on the menu! :)

Steak and chips - with garlic mushrooms!!  And no leaves ... OH would think he had died and gone to heaven.  :lol:

I've been sorting through the tomatoes in store and having to cook a lot off them off.  :(  Heaven knows how I am going to get them in the freezer.  :unsure:  Anyway - pasta in tomato sauce with cheese tonight ....

No chips here - I'm a day behind and we have had curry night  :lol: 

Lamb and sweet potato curry, rice, yogurt and an onion, cucumber and tomato relish.

Bottle them?  It isn't quite the same flavour as freezing them, but still loads better than shop bought sauce :)

You know what I mean, you’re just being pedantic 😊

I was only teasing - it sounded lovely. Hope the posh restaurant was up to your home made standards? Nothing more annoying than paying for something and thinking it's not as good as you can do in your own kitchen.

It was a lovely evening out for a change, the food was beautifully presented( friend said the chef was a master chef 1/4 finalist, I dunno I don’t watch it 🙄😊) lacked a bit if flavour all round tbh.
I had Asian crab cakes ,they were pretty tasteless tbh, followed by venison, no flavour but nicely cooked & good texture with creamed mash, roast parsnip & beetroot, they were superb. Then I had creme brûlée with poached plums, that was lovely. They brought us 2 lovely canapés, a goats cheese creamed Cornett style thing that was different & a warm tiny duck spring role type thing that was lovely. We also got a little shortbread biscuit with a meringue type topping with a chocolate truffle on top  with our coffee, well it should have been but it came when we’d finished & we were a bit full. Service was ok but in a place like that I expect them to know who’s ordered what ,the table to be set properly & they missed out on a wine order as they never gave us a wine list only offered did we want more drinks as we were over halfway though the main course. Just as well as we might have needed to take out a mortgage lol. I think tbh we are out of touch with how much it all costs £23 + for 1pt peronni,1/2 coke & 2 fancy gin & tonics seemed an awful lot.
It was nice for a treat & the company was good. Noisy room as no soft furnishings to absorb the sound but so many places are like that these days

We're the same - out of touch with prices. Even the chippie seems expensive!

I know - a snack and a pint in the pub on a Sat lunchtime for us (usually a bribe to get OH to the shops for necessary trips ....) will be more than my weekly shopping bill.  :ohmy:

Tonight is the rest of the turkey leg, with the slow cooker chilli tomatoes with split peas and pearl barley etc  Will be very welcome when we get in thoroughly chilled!

Posh dinner here of bacon and egg sandwich followed by a dessert of peanuts, pork scratchings and wine gums, all washed down with a bonanza of cider. Guess who's wife is away tonight ;)
