Here's the Champys household plan:
Thursday - Indonesian chicken with coconut vegetables
Appologies for not being on much but my laptop is severely sick and only works for about 5 mins before crashing. Its going away on Tues to be repaired so will be without it for a while :rolleyes: Will be getting withdrawal symptoms. Was wondering if you could PM me the recipe for this purease?? That way once I get me comp back (or get on someone elses) I dont need to go hunting for it?? Thanks in advance xEmma :dance:

I was away Friday and Saturday, and missed the delivery. OH has thrown out the receipt, and I can't remember what or why I ordered. I appear to have got some fresh ragu and a bought poultry gravy. Why???? Who knows. And a leg of lamb, when I'm not really supposed to be eating red meat. I got some long life milk, which puzzled OH, and he nearly sent it back, and then realised it was my emergency stock. So, based on vague memory of what we have in the freezer, here's a plan.
Saturday: OH cooked lasagne, I got some when I got home (Bedford to Bingley, 5 trains and 5 hours)
Sunday: roast lamb with rosemary and anchovy, greek-style lemony potatoes (low fat), green beans. HM nut roast for DD.
Monday: recycled roast dinner and nut roast, freeze any lamb still left
Tuesday: hm pizza with various toppings (incl some of the christmas gammon from the freezer)
Wednesday: spicy vegetable and lentil stew with crusty bread
Thursday: cottage pie using the other half of the mince OH dry fried last night, topping to be a potato & carrot mix, some sort of greens
Friday: curry, using either leftover lamb or the end of the christmas turkey from the freezer, rice, naan from a mix I've got, mild dhal for the children
This may well change as I get a better idea of what I've got/not got.Mortgage started on 22.5.09 : £129,600Overpayments to date: £3000June grocery challenge: 400/6000
