    I'm up for veggie burgers next week. I'm not sure which day I'll do them yet as I don't know what our plans are - will aim for Monday but nothing guaranteed.

    tested a quiche for cfr last night. On the cfr spreadsheet it comes out to 38p per person including 250g wedges, and is about 720 calories. I used the next size up flan dish, but you could use the usual 20cm sized one and have a deeper filling


    pastry - a little more than you would need for the 20cm tin
    150g sr flour
    70ml oil
    70ml water

    filling
    4 eggs
    100g grated cheddar
    80g finely chopped onion
    80g grated carrot
    80g peas

    this is the mixture

    this is the filled quiche, ready for the oven

    this is last nights dinner, with 250g wedges and some flash fried cherry toms from the garden

    and this is the other half left for tonight. I know it doesn't look like half, but it is, it must have been the angle of the camera or something.

    and here are some of my ugly brandywine tomatoes, huge and lumpy, but with a fantastic flavour

    I just love those tomatoes ;) They've certainly got character !
  • Bacon & Onion Pudding for us tonight.

    I made the pudding up this morning before I left for work, I let the onions get a bit of colour on them before taking them off the heat.

    I think the dish I used was a bit big as I had to whip up a little bit more pasty to make the lid.

    I left the cooking of it up to DH, so he did the main steaming this morning then it was just a mini steam when I got home to warm it through.

    Big thumbs up! DH was even suggesting different meats to put in it, e.g. a bit of steak for a treat, or mince - this from a guy who normally picks the onions out of a dish

    Pictures:

    Ready for the pan - slow cooker too small.

    Hi ISOM, glad to hear you're alright. The meet was super lovely, it's a shame you couldn't come. I'm hoping for another too, esp one that is just full of chat
