The worlds most expensive sawhedges (89p EACH!) and mash. and no they're not wild boar and caviar, just beer and mustard.

Mmmmm.... lovely!

Got to go freezer fishing.  We are having spicy wings, stir fried veg (pepper, carrot, onion) and soy braised cabbage with rice tonight.

[madcat]

And tonight we are going to eat the last of last year's potatoes ... Charlottes, going a bit rubbery now.  So a treat of chips to send them out in style, with ham, eggs and coleslaw.  Better work hard today to earn those calories!

[New shoot]

I have potatoes, onions and the bits of chicken from a weekend roast to use up.  I could be googling chicken hash recipes today 

[madcat]

I've faffed enough this morning making a) the first ice cream of the season (honey and apricot) and b) some custard to add to some puree for more ice cream tomorrow and c) freezing the slow cooker beans cooked overnight and d) lunch (sort of frittera of leftovers).  It is now too hot to have anything more to do with the kitchen bar the barest minimum .... so have pulled some pasta sauce and some meatballs out the freezer.  Cook pasta and heat through.  Grate cheese.  Done!

Sweet & sour chicken with rice & prawn crackers. ''Twas a jar of sauce admittedly with additions of onion,carrot,celery,bamboo shoots, water chestnuts & pineapple. Enough for lunch tomorrow for me & little granddaughter 😊

Pizza - the machine does the dough and I only have to finish it off.  So mozzarella and tomato sauce are out of the freezer, pepperoni is in the fridge and I'll make it up from there.   

PS  Honey and apricot icecream delicious!

I was leaving dinner until it cooled down a bit.. not exactly beef stew weather is it.    At this rate I'll end up with couscous around 11pm.

A HM mash-topped fish pie from the freezer with some tinned marrowfat peas. From freezer to microwave to table in 10 minutes

Last night was the first bbq of the season in this house - required building the bbq first!  Heyho - it worked fine when done and I kept the eating simple just in case.  Veggie spikes (courgette, mushroom, pepper, banana), large cumberland sausages (from the local butcher and not 89p ea, Lardman!) and turkey steaks marinated in rice wine and hoisin sauce.  Pittas (wimped out and bought them) and green salad to serve.

Today is a big planting day so I have put a chicken to poach in the slow cooker ready for our return - red onions, garlic in tomato juice and red wine with bayleaves as the liquid and the cavity stuffed full of marjoram and thyme.  Couscous with veg mixed through to go with.

Tonight it's chicken thighs in a jammy marinade,new potatoes with mint,salad, bean salad
Homegrown strawberries & icecream/yogurt- might only be 1 each as granddaughter is coming for tea & a sleepover 😊

Add n a lemon meringue cake with the strawberries 😊

I've been cooking on and off all day - egg and bacon pie for tomorrow, buns for OH's packed lunches and batches of stuff for the freezer like spag bol and dhal.  I'd rather do a load of stuff in advance and then have some free passes to play on the plot for the next few weeks   

Cooked out now, so chilli from one of the batches and some rice for tea.
