  • Hi All

    Couple of things got changed last week and we sucummed to a takeaway on Monday as I was absolutely shattered (and I'd forgot to get the turkey steaks out of the freezer).

    This week we are having:

    Thurs: Smoked Haddock & Broccolli fishcakes (were going to be HM, but Aldi won for convenience!)
    Fri: 2nd attempt at having Sausage Meatballs with HM Tomato sauce & pasta (after getting chicken fillets instead of sausages out of the freezer last sat - not really much difference!)
    Sat: Gammon, pineapple, veg and jacket potato
    Sun: Eat at OH's parents
    Mon: HM Chilli, wraps and salad
    Tues: Fish Pie
    Wed: Roast Chicken with all the trimmings.

    Have a good week all.

    Mon-Sausage, Mash, Cabbage (box) & Swede/Carrots (box)
    Tues-Quiche, Salad & New Pots
    Wed-Chicken, Roasts (box), Kale (box), Parsnips (box), Carrots (box) & Yorkies
    Thurs-Shepherds Pie, Kale (box) & Carrots (box)
    Fri-Egg, Chips & Beans (+B&B)
    Sat-At Friends

    Have a good week everyone.

    I was doing fish pie tonight but went to test drive a car and it ran out of petrol!!!! so we were late back and didn't have time to make it before OH had to go to work so we grabbed a takeaway pizza. I'll make the fish pie tomorrow and freeze it in portions. For the rest of the week:

    Sun - Roast chicken etc (leftovers will become rubber chicken)
    Mon - rubber chicken curry with 9p Mr S sauce
    Tues - HM Salmon en croute (or may have the fish pie instead!)
    Wed - HM Squash strudel
    Thurs - Tea out
    Fri - tea at OH's parents
    Sat - HM pizza & salad
    Sun - HM pasta bolognese bake.

    I'll be making soup with the chicken carcass for lunches with sandwiches and salads.
