Afternoon all.

Brekkie was a fairy cake. DH is currently cooking turkey, stuff, honey parsnips - and he won't tell me the rest. I did get off my butt to make some jelly this morning (hard work, I know ) and hopefully we've got some icecream to go with it.

fedupandskint

Leftover HM pizza and 2 HM scones and 1 piece of cake so far

Dough in BM for breadrolls

Tea is chickpea and chorizo stew with cous cous with leftovers for another night

Just fighting the urge for a kitkat

Marru

Bangers and mash for lunch some nice cheeses and ham with toast and salad for tea.

I rebelled my frugal challenge in the shop today and got some cheeses that I love but never buy as think I can't afford them. But I can really it just means that my DFD is a bit further away.

maman

Which cheeses do you really enjoy marru? Cheese has been very limited since I've been on y weightloss kick so I'd like to drool over some virtual ones;)

Marru

There were so many I wanted but limited myself to emmental and brie.

Pudding front is a bit slow at the moment as we have chicks hatching all over the place - quail last night, chickens tomorrow, some chickens last week, 50 table bird, 50 layers and 50 guinea fowl due on Thursday .... it's a madhouse :eek::eek:
Neither of us have had time to wash up let alone make any pudding :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Now must crack that whip (...waits for MP to comment ) and ......... OK I will go and wash up ....

Heres to the return of the pudding days soon, hopefully. Ds who is 10 sounds a treasure Bless him. Hugs (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Puddings have returned :D:D Well, more cake really - Just made a Jamacan Gingerbread type thinghy topped with icing ..... I'm sure it will go with custard

We have a Moroccan goaty thing here (See how technical I get when I cook with no recipe ) Though have to admit I am doing roast potatoes and Yorkshire's

The goats got some spices and some rose and lavender powder stuff (See - very technical :rotfl:) with some herbs and salt and pepper ..... Smells good, tasted it, but had to add a bit more salt - Should be good

Smoke alarms going off now - my indication that the oil is ready for the Yorkshires :rotfl::rotfl:

budget_babe

Bhb you sound very busy over there

And of course, custard goes with anything

In readiness for my organic lamb mince arrival, I have just ordered the take away secret. There's a whole thread on Mse about it. Btw Dear Lurky how are you getting on with yours?

Off to watch dancing on ice now, simple things.........................

Back later for me hot choccie, well if the staff turn up that is :rotfl:

Mmmm! I love the nutty taste of Emmental (called mouse cheese in our family) and I do like Brie as long as its quite ripe. If it's not then I'd rather have a camembert. I also love a cheese called Epoisses, that's soft and strong. The trouble is I can wrap it and put it in a box in the fridge and it still stinks the house out! Stilton is good too, I love it with melon or Parma ham.

Had more dauphinoise potatoes tonight (freezer portion from last week) and it was delicious. Tasted even more cheesy but I think mst things mariate well in the freezer. Curries and chillies always improve.

Sounds manic at yor house BHB, but glad to hear about the return of the pud!!!
