Hi Kadeeae and thanks for starting us off

My Mum always maintains that suet pastry is the easiest thing in the world so you should be ok.
We're having:
Monday - Chilli & Rice
Tuesday - Cheese Beano's
Wednesday - Tomato & Bacon Pasta Bake & Salad
Thursday - Quiche, New Potatoes and Salad
Friday - Meatballs & Spaghetti
Saturday - Celery & Potato Soup and Soda Bread followed by Fruit Salad
Sunday Lunch: Beef in Ale Casserole, Mashed Potatoes, Yorkshire Puddings, Carrots, Spring Cabbage and Peas
Sunday Tea: Toasted Cheese Ciabatta followed by Fruit Salad
I'll try to have a baking session too to fill the tins up. DS3 has requested the Milk Chocolate Cake from Be-Ro it's very good
and amazingly easy to make. We usually ice the top with plain white glace icing and feather lines of chocolate glace icing across the top - very retro it is :rotfl: 0 -

Any chance of the recipe/method please? It sounds lovely

No problem at all.
It's this recipe, but CCP'd - I will be leaving out the aubergine (as I haven't got any), using all tinned tomatoes with no fresh cherry ones, and replacing the chickpeas with white beans (I think the ones in the cupboard are canelinni (sp?), so that's what I'll be having).
Apart from that, it's exactly the same recipe!
Edit to add - Oh, I've just remembered - I also add a little freshly chopped garlic to the topping for the bread. That really is all, though!
Back after a very long break!0 -

)

here's our plan - haven't sorted out the veggies/salad yet, but main courses will be:
mon - spiced plum chicken with couscous
tues - mushroom, chestnut and red pepper terrine
wed & thur - in Brussels for work
fri - fish saltimbocca (on cannellini beans)
sat - mediterranean roasted steaks

That is more than a week, but had forgotten about the biz trip. DH to dig in the freezer for leftover meals on those days.
Have a good week, everyone!"Remember that many of the things you have now you could once only dream of" - Epicurus0 -
