I'm planning steamed salmon parcels, steamed potatoes in parsley sauce, runners and ano veg.  Maybe carrots but I'm not thrilled.  Somehow parsnip or beetroot dont work either.  And hunter beans are too similar to the runners.   :unsure:

Last night was toad in the hole with lots of roasted veg, runner beans and onion gravy.

For tonight - I got a big beef joint marked down in the co-op - so half to the freezer (Nooooo!  I am supposed to be emptying the freezer!   ::)) and the other half into the slow cooker for coffee pot roast.  We will have some sliced tonight with jackets and veg tbd, and some more in the gravy when we get in late tomorrow.  Howzat for organised!   :D

Last night was a salad with our first mixed lettuce picking of the season.

Just put a slow cooker on of diced pork, baked beans and our frozen sweetcorn and our frozen tomato paste.
Will serve with our desiree roasties from freezer and some fresh picked spinach.

Last night was the gravy from cooking the beef, supplemented with some carrots and little potatoes, some of the beef chunked into it, and cauliflower on the side.  Easy to heat through in the m/w when we got in late.  Note : good people avoided the chippy on the way home!   :)

Tonight is Mrs Singh's winter veg pilau, which I do in the slow cooker. 

I've acquired some balti dishes so I need to do some research ....

As we had a fish and chips lunch out yesterday, it was a six egg Spanish omelette for tea with herbs from the garden and mushrooms, cheese and tomato all whisked in.

Mince casserole and spinach for lunch and a spaghetti bolognaise for tea.

Hot cross buns have all been eaten that I made, so just baking some more.

I got treated to an indian takeaway tonight, so chicken dhansak, pilau rice and a spinach side dish for me.  Oh ordered jalfrezi and managed to eat half of a raw chilli pepper.  Now he's moaning about heartburn.  Can't think why  ::)

 :lol: :lol:

I had leftover from Friday's lamb dinner, yesterday.
There's still more lamb, so after a crusty roll for lunch, think I'll turn the rest into a Biryani.  :) Lots of salad stuff to eat up with it, as well.

Roast Lamb today.
Just picked some rooster from the potato shed and dug up a spring cabbage, parsnips and leeks.
Bought swede and some of our carrots from freezer.
Picked loads of mint for mint sauce.

Picked some rhubarb to go with some homemade yogurt

Lots of easter eggs and hot cross buns to much on through the day too.
