Morning everyone - it's a wet one here in Oxfordshire

Just packed DH off to work with his sandwiches (HM bread) and HM flapjacks - had to iron his trousers and shirt as well :rolleyes: so an early start for me

Work this morning, then an exam at college this afternoon :eek: Breathe breathe breathe

DD has just eaten her breakfast and is now going to get dressed for school, I'm going to jump in the shower in a min and read my study books.

DD will be having tea at the in laws, DH will probably have some soup and by the time I get home at 9pm I probably won't be hungry

Penny Pincher and Christabell - good luck at the hospital

Have a lovely day everyone

Good Morning :wave:

Pouring with rain here, doesn't look like I'll get my walk in this morning.

Nice to see you Jamie. Chilli is nice with baked beans instead of kidney beans if you have any. Call it Cowboy Stew;)

We're having a sort of chilli today too. I have leftover brisket. It was delicious, long shreds of tender, flavourful meat. I don't have that much left so I thought I'd add some beans, finish up a carton of passata into the bargain. Just the thing for wet weather.

Breakfast is going to be porridge and the packed lunches have muffin pizzas, apricot and cinnamon muffins (the other kind) and apples in them. I've got a slice of leftover mushroom quiche.

French class today. I was a bit alarmed to find I only have 4 more lessons after today's.

Have a good one everyone.

PP - I brown meatballs in a frying pan then add the sauce for about 20 mins.

Thanks for that EG - I was wondering if you cooked them first.

Penny Pincher and Christabell - good luck at the hospital

SOMO1 - Good Luck for the exam.

.......Having lamb meatballs later that OH got reduced. How does he cook them? I was thinking SC in pasta sauce for a couple of hours.....

We had meatballs the other night - I made a tomato sauce with an onion & plum tomatoes, added garlic and thyme and a little sugar.....whizzed it in the blender so it was still a bit lumpy, then simmered the meatballs for about 15-20 mins.

It's hardly a recipe Stressedoutmum:) Simply halve an English muffin, spread with passata/tomato puree, add ham/salami/bacon/tomatoes/mushrooms and top with cheese. Grill.

They're best hot, but the kids like them in their lunch boxes.

Thriftlady - thanks for your suggestion:) I do have baked beans in the cupboard!

Redruby - Yes I think the rain is heading over your way this morning:( Im not sure how long it is supposed to stay wet for...just have my fingers crossed for May half term and our camping trip!!
