Leek and bacon gratin with cheese sauce and more cheese for luck.  As we all know, cheese makes everything better :lol: 

We’ve got some boulangere plot spuds to go with it.

I've got a Cottage pie topped with swede rather than potatoes, with the last of the runner beans from the garden.

There was some of the honey and mustard chicken casserole left from Tuesday so I've shredded the rest of the meat and turned it into a pie for tonight.  Waste not want not. Some more new  potatoes and carrots to go with.

I couldn't agree more.  There's no such thing as too much cheese, nor too much butter, come to that!

Curry tonight  :D

Instead of rice I am going to roast some small potatoes in spices.  I was sorting out the spuds yesterday for storage in the shed and have a pile of titchy ones to use up.

There's braising steak, swede, carrots, a few small potatoes and onions bubbling away in the oven - suet dumplings will go in later. It is keeping me warm while it's cooking, as well  :)

Cottage pie here too & it was delicious, made from a batch of mince & onion ftf, well worth cooking up larger batches I find of what I call basic mince & onion in the slow cooker, then I can doctor as we see fit when I take it out of the freezer  :)

Picked up another of the Co-ops 'Meal for Two' boxes in the reduced section.  Thai tonight.  Red and green curry with jasmine rice, spring rolls and rice crackers.  It was okay, not my favourite of the three we have tried so far.

Instead of rice I am going to roast some small potatoes in spices.  I was sorting out the spuds yesterday for storage in the shed and have a pile of titchy ones to use up.

I would recommend these if you have small potatoes to use up after lifting your crop.  Parboil in the skins until just done, cut up so all the same size, then put in a bowl with a bit of oil, garlic, chilli and ground spices.  I used turmeric, coriander and cumin, but you could just use curry powder.  If you leave the garlic and chilli in little pieces, they go crispy in the oven like on salt and pepper dishes from the Chinese takeaway, so add lots.  I added sliced onion in as well.

I could get posh and say leave to infuse, but truth is I had stuff to do, so I prepared them earlier in the day, covered the bowl and left them out on the side.  The spices soak into any cut surfaces, so you get an extra whammy of flavour.  I did give any whole ones a bit of a squish with a fork, so they split their skins, but were not broken up.

Lightly oil a baking tray when ready to cook and chuck the veg on.  Roast until golden and crispy.

The recipe calls it "Tuscan Chicken, Beans and Basil"   But you know me, never the Purist    ::) Chicken, yes, butter beans, yes, tinned cherry tomatoes, almost, whole plum !.   Basil - no, just threw plant out .
  Origano yes.    But also added, some carrot and celery and couple of tiny potatoes, which weren't used yesterday .  Hope it is ok, as I have to eat the rest tomorrow.     :unsure:  Mrs B
