 H/M Cottage pie with fresh veg , Apple crumble for pud

I made a flan with the leftover ham, with peas and chunky chips 

It must now be summer, officially, because the ice-cream van has just been round, and I had a choc nut sundae, so had my 'afters' before my Dinner

Naughty, naughty, you don't get pud unless you've eaten your dinner. Chicken casserole with dumplings, not my choice but I've cleared up behind him and it is his birthday so I suppose he can have what he wants.

Chicken, salad and flat breads

Day #3 of slow cooked piggy dinner with trimmings. I managed to forget the apple sauce again yesterday. Tried the M&S sage and red onion stuffing - no bueno - won't buy that again back to paxo. Spuds are still turning to soup in the water so I'm slicing them and layering with leeks and nuking them.

 Mince and onion slice with a mixed salad , rest of Apple crumble and creme fresh

Chicken curry and we had crumble for pud as well, but it was figs I had bottled last year and plot berries from the freezer.  Unusual mix but very good

Tuna and coleslaw on a jkt spud, with chilli mayo

Piggy day #4, then off to the freezer with the leftovers.  Also considering using the rest of the apple sauce for a crumble

 Spicy bits of chicken with veg rice, fruit yoghurt 

 How much piggy did you have i can not believe your still eating it

How much piggy did you have i can not believe your still eating it   

The joint was just over 3lb. I cut slices about the thickness of a chop ( ~ 1/2 inch) 6 decent servings, you could probably get away with stretching it to 8 if needed, the websites says feeds 10 which is comical. 

Back before it became stupidly expensive to buy unprocessed meat I used to just work down the list of joints each week, pork, beef, gammon, leg of lamb and then a whole chicken.  Friday was fish and Saturday was the only filler day either curry, pizza, pasta etc. 

It's so much easier not having to think about what to cook each day.

Chicken stir-fry, the chicken breast was quite big and by the time I'd sliced it, and the veg, it was obviously a plateful without cooking any rice

We're trying the Rani Pasta that they keep advertising on the telly as the corner shop has a special offer on it. Basil sauce  and cheese with.   Garlic bread on the side.

Since these spuds wont mash my plans for a fish pie have been scuppered and I resorted to beans on toast.

Have you tried steaming the spuds?  Works for me when I have grown something like Sarpo Mira for jackets, then get a whim for mash.  They go from rock hard to dissolved in seconds, so unless you are watching them like a hawk boiling is a no-go.

Tonight was a late finish for us both, but I had prepped up tray bake spuds and veg with pork chops and pre-prepared onion gravy.  We were both knackered and starving so it was very welcome
