The plan is for pizza here - dough made in the machine and fast blast in the oven.  Toppings...  I think hm tomato sauce (note to self : get out of freezer!) and then one with mushrooms, garlic and spicy sausage and the other with anchovies and mozzarella. Big bowl salad, icy cold italian white wine and watch the sun fade on the longest day.

Quiche, potato salad and coleslaw - all home made.

OH wants his early as he is going out, hence cold tea that can be served as people want it.  I'll see how I feel.  Right now I am remembering I have a box of Magnums stashed in the freezer

A summery turkey casserole has just gone in the slow cooker. Substantial and doesn't require anything of me in the heat of the afternoon.  I'll make some rolls/scones/couscous/something later to go with depending on how hot it gets.

Just picked a bucket load of peas, will have those over the next few days, freeze some and a serving with a chicken, mushroom and tomato slow casserole, served with fresh picked Charlotte potatoes.

Also will be using the pods in a pea pod soup to have as a starter.

Salmon here for us tonight with new potatoes, cheese sauce,carrots,broccoli

I've got some big mushrooms, so I think I will stuff them with whatever I can find(!) and bake them with rice and a crunchy cheese topping.

Got a serious case of the CBA's  the fridge is empty and I lack the enthusiasm to try and produce anything from from the 'nothing' in the cupboards.  I really should keep some cereal in for times like this.

Norty Lardman!

I had thinly sliced chicken breast coated in egg and spiced breadcrumbs, with Pentland Javelins with butter and mint, Greenshaft peas and Yellow Peardrops tomatoes 
Icecream and Loganberries for pud.

I have to admit to resorting to cornflakes    Its actually very nice on a hot evening when you can't get excited about turning the stove on 

Last night was a cheese sandwich after a late shift.  It did have salad in it, but not a great nutritional triumph really.

Today I have oddments of veg in the fridge, so pork steaks defrosting, which I will braise with miso, soy and mirin, some stir-fry veg and either rice or noodles

Last night we had our usual fish night, it was Smoked haddock last night.
But steamed a load of our peas and mint, just scrummy.
Served with our frozen Sarpo chips.
Made a gooseberry crumble too.

Lunch is faggots, with our international Kidney new potatoes, broad beans, spinach, mangetout and turnip.
Making some onion gravy to mix with the faggot juices.

Tonight its welsh rarebit and also mushrooms on toast and tinned sardines on toast.
Just picked some Rhubarb that will roast slowly and make some custard for it.

I've been thwarted again today with my attempt to make some kebabs - it appears I use the only butcher who doesn't want to sell lamb in any form other than whole legs. I had the distinct impression this morning he had a serious case of the CBA for customers. 

I'm at a bit of a loss again, if the chickens haven't had a CBA to lay day it will probably a mushroom omelette.

I think the hot week and reduced sleep is catching up with a lot of peeps today.  CBA fairy, general grumpiness and a feeling that the holidays are toooooo far away.  Have it myself too. 

Tonight we are going to pretend it is still baking and have another bbq.  So there!  Chicken in hoisin marinade, pork chops in spicy mustard, veggie spikes and tomato rolls.  Salad.  Just thinking about what to drink .....

Breaded chicken left over from yesterday with coleslaw and peas.
