Another curry night tonight.  The one in the week went down a storm with OH, so he asked for same again please.  As the mince and dhal are straight out of the freezer, that suits me. 

I'm going to wilt some plot spinach and stir it through some spiced yogurt, plus I have shop bought naan in the cupboard.  Should take all of 10 minutes to prepare

Pizza here - because I've got the pizza munchies ......

Roast Leg of pork and extra crackling.
Some roosters picked form potato shed for roast.
Some of the international kidney picked yesterday steamed.
Picked some turnips.
Picked sage and chives for homemade bacon wrapped stuffing balls.
Shop bought carrots, parsnips, swede and broccoli.

Our frozen apple pies for afters with custard.

Got to go gentle on a new crown for OH - so no pork crackling here today, or for some days to come.   

So tonight is stir fried veg, cabbage braised in soy sauce, chicken cooked in oyster sauce and rice.  Lots of flavour, not too much bite.

Ouch - poor Mr MC 

We are having pork chops, new potatoes, peas, mangetout peas and spinach.  That will be the first new season veg selection I can completely supply so smug mode engaged 

I may even go wild and rustle up a strawberry pud just to really show off

Long day yesterday and just rushed snacks.  I'm going to make up for it with spag bol later

Still on the be nice to the sore mouth, so it was a leek and mustard pasta bake yesterday.

He seems to be better today (demolished fresh bread at lunchtime with no being careful with the crust) but there is a casserole of turkey in the slow cooker, to go with couscous or dumplings, not to push his luck.

Oh you've reminded me! *shudder* I'm booked in for a root canal jobbie next Wednesday, ready for a crown - soo not looking forward to that 

Anyhow, tea tonight is a leftover lamb made into a chilli, don't fancy rice so over boiled new potatoes, or I could go mad and cook wedges

Ouch ! Poor you    Get a few easy to eat options in for tea I reckon.

[madcat]

Not kidding.   And ice cream, you need ice cream  ... one good thing about root canals is they get rid of the super sensitivity that makes eating ice cream a problem.   

Yesterday I worked as a poll clerk so sandwiches for me and I left him a ham salad, which he had with bread I think.

today .....  I need something quick when we get in late.  I am trying to resist the thought of the chippy we are going to have to drive past ....
