I pulled the last of the Christmas beef out of the freezer and it's now in the slow-cooker with assorted veg, herbs and stock. It smells lovely.

I'm still debating whether to make some dumplings to go in it

Chicken & chorizo Spanish bake ala Hairy Bikers & a bit of warmed up focaccia I found lurking in the freezer.
I’m also cooking up last years forced champagne rhubarb with dates,grated fresh ginger, orange zest & juice(in the hopes it doesn’t need any sugar. Still trying to use up the fruit in readiness for this years bounty. Really need to tackle the soup mountain lol. At least I got the half lamb from the freezer in there today.

[Plot 1 Problems]

Homemade beef chilli wraps. Getting perilously low on plot beans in the freezer now.

I've been late in the last couple of nights, so Thursday was kimchi fried fried with a fried egg on top and yesterday was cheese on toast and tomato soup.

Working today, but finishing fairy early, so I'll grab something from work to bring home with me

Thai red curry with sticky rice, and extra veg.  Mrs Bouquet

Nipper is under the weather and wife is away. Fridge is empty. I sense that takeaway is a probability tonight.

Last night we ate out ,mine was prawn cocktail followed by mushroom stroganoff with rice & salad which was not very inspiring,hubby had liver onions & mash followed by jam sponge. BIL had fish & chips & that looked lovely & hubby enjoyed his so i think I just chose poorly.

Tonight it’s sirloin steak & chips with salad & lemon drizzle cake for pud.

Tonight was bacon, eggs, chips and tomatoes - jubbly

Apple and stilton soup, with bargain crusty cob from Morrissons (collected on my way home).  I ate too much of it, but it was nice for a change.

Will be roast pork & all the trimmings but the pork is 2 slices of belly pork, I poach it in hot water & onions to tenderise it then crozzle  it up. We only have it once in a blue moon as hubby isn’t keen on pork, but it’s my favourite

I made a huge Lasagne 

[Missey]

Cheese & crusty bread for lunch.   Then venison sausages, red cabbage & mash later

[madcat]

I bought some very nice undyed oak smoked haddock over the weekend - shared the fillet with my mother.  I'm going to put ours into a nice cullen skink to warm us through, and serve with some more of the crusty bread.  I think Ma will eat hers poached with a poached egg on top .....

I made a huge Lasagne 

Hmm now there’s an idea, I bought a kilo of mince at the farm & hubby doesn’t ‘do’ lasagne so I never get it, but I don’t mind making a big one & freezing in portions 😏

Yesterday ended up as American style breaded chicken portions, spicy wedges, coleslaw and salad following pleading text received from OH when I told him I was on my way home from work and what did he want me to buy for tea.  I think his new year diet which excludes KFC is getting to him 

Salt and pepper squid, stir-fried veg and rice tonight, plus an extra of some spring rolls.  They fell in my basket yesterday when I was buying the stir fry veg
