Hope you get something edible sorted, Lardman

By the time Id added peppers, chillies, onions and extra cheese to the pizza it was passable as food.    although I would rather have joined New Shoots.

The pork was finally shreddable just after 9pm , it's still chewy even after 11 hours - I'll not be buying that again! I wanted a meat and 2 veg meal so that's what I'll have. Waiting for the roasties at the moment to complete the roast piggy dinner, with the works.  Finally a meal without a tomato in sight

More roast piggy dinner  - mash, no roastie tonight though and the mixed veg have had to be supplemented with sprouts (frozen shop bought) as ocado had run out 

Do they still make Jamaican Ginger cake ? a noggin covered in thick custard would finish things off nicely, must be the weather.

A couple of soddages, onions cooked in the sausage fat, peas & corn with some baby potatoes

Yes they do

Late night yesterday, so chicken salad and flatbreads when I got it. 

Tonight is a lasagne with homemade tomato sauce and whatever I can forage from the greenhouse and pick off the left over roast chicken from Monday.  There are some aubergines and possibly a pepper or two, plus more tomatoes, so I could make some roasted veg to pad it out.

As long as it is covered with golden melty cheese, OH will be all smiles

Back from 10 days at a festival (5 days to build, 4 days of music etc and 1 day to tear it all down again!) so you can imagine what we found at the allotment!  Let's start with a veg korma for tonight (ie overgrown courgette plus), lemon cuc in yogurt and rice for OH.  Then tomato pasta sauce for the freezer .... Plum puree ditto ....

Steak & kidney pie,steamed Charlottes,carrots green bean & cabbage (all hg 😊) lovely gravy. More fruit crumble in a mo, just what we needed after all our hard graft turning our old fish pond into a smaller wildlife pond with bog gardens.

Steak & kidney pie

Puff, rough puff, shortcrust or suet?    mmmm pie. 

I finished off the piggy and all the veggies in the freezer  which feels a good excuse to defrost it before shopping day,  I'll have to get creative with some pasta tomorrow.

Rough puff is fine but for a cold winter's day it has to be suet

Tonight: super sausages, colcannon and French beans.

Puff pastry(bought ready rolled)  being a skinflint yorkshire lass, I’ve taken to buying ready rolled & dividing it up in to the size of my pie dish(rectangular) I get 4 I think from I sheet, I use 1 to top my pie for that night, then place the others in greaseproof paper & freeze flat before bagging them up. I cook a 3/4 lb batch of the filling in the slow cooker, then when cold divide it up in to portions for the 2 of us, freeze & then I get 5 or 6 pies for little effort, weeks for me 😊, plus I use the pastry for other pies I.e chicken or chicken & ham, turkey . Great for busy days.

Last night was a HM minted lamburger (from the freezer) with baked beans - CBA fairy was here again 

Today I've a lt of milk to use up so cheese sauce over pasta and broccoli - excess sauce for the freezer

There is some bacon that needs using, so I think I'll make a couple of quiches this afternoon.  One for tonight with green salad, the other can go later in the week.  (The man I have bought my eggs from for the last errr ... 15 ? years has given up his hens after having a lot of eggs stolen.    Now what am I going to do??  )

That's so sad - 2 legged vermin 
Have you thought about getting hens yourself? They're easier than cats!

[Lardman]

Now what am I going to do??  )

Get some hens - You really won't like going back to 3 week old shop bought ones, they're nasty.

Im not feeling much like pasta tonight; so it's rice pudding, slightly sweetened and with a goodly sprinkle of nutmeg. Tomorrow I shall be spending many hours scrubbing the slow cooker pot  - worth it

Erm... no thanks.  They wont take kindly to being left for long periods, which is why we are cat-free at the moment after our last old lady died.  The allotment is a bit more forgiving!

My slow cooker is out, with a joint of pork sitting on lots of lovely veg and bathed in cider.  Sliced tonight with calabrase and courgette in cheese sauce, steamed cabbage and a few charlottes for OH.  Then cold tomorrow and the last bits chucked back in with the veg as a pork casserole.  3 meals in one slow cooker - what's not to love!
