[New shoot]

I postponed the Easter roast until tomorrow, when it is forecast to be pouring down all day and I won't mind being in the kitchen for ages.

Tonight I am raiding the freezer for pie I know is in there, plus the shed for spuds and the fridge for whatever veg I put my hand on first

 Well our lunch/dinner went ahead as per the Easter meals thread, all enjoyed it except little granddaughter who fell asleep(not well) about 1/2 hour before it was served up. She had some later but was just not fussed over anyth8ng today or yesterday, hav8ng almost fallen asleep on my lap during yesterday’s steak & kidney pie, the puked it up at 9p.m on her sleepover 😥😥, so Grannie is a tad weary this evening.

We uninvited ourselves from PIL as we felt it wasn't very good to take this bug with us and we really weren't interested in a big meal.  Jacket potatoes with cheese had and that was an effort.

Roast lamb, roast potatoes, proper gravy and veg.  Plot fruit fool with fruit from the freezer for pud - pink currant and loganberry, which was fab even though I say so myself

Yummee.  Its been ages since we had roast lamb .... 

We are on potato and squash gratin, which is hot and tasty and comforting for a 'orrible day.  A Bank Holiday Monday that really lived up to its reputation.

Tonight's planned stir fried beef (which OH was going to cook) has had to have a rethink - when the defrosted meat turned out not to be 1/2lb of beef strips, but 1lb of diced turkey thigh.     Seems that the original bag split and was over wrapped with a bag that had previously done duty with the beef ... and been washed I hasten to add!   

So in the slow cooker with have turkey in sweet and sour sauce, with pineapple, pepper and carrot.  Half for tonight with rice and the other half for the freezer.  Prawn crackers on the side.

Last night was lemon chicken (slow cooker again!), with roast veggies.

I'll strip the chicken today and tonight will be chicken, mushroom and leek pie with the bits, steamed pots and runners probably.  Carcass back into the slow cooker to make stock.

I'll be at an allotment meeting later, so going to put a chicken drumstick and lots of veg in the slow cooker, ready for when I get back. Bread making today to go with it 

[snowdrops]

Baked plaice for us today with potatoes of some sort & the usual veg.

Well we had 'pot luck'.  I found several chinese takeaway type containers, all un marked (!)  at the back o f the freezer and decided three of them would do with a jacket potato.  Turned out to be left over fish curry, chillied chicken and succotash.  Didn't taste too bad as a a combination plus cleared a bit of 'junk' out of the freezer ready for this years 'bumper' crops.
