    Saturday - still in Leeds, at an all-day gig event, god only knows when/where eating will be fitted in.

    Sunday - L: still in Leeds, if last year is anything to go by a pub lunch is likely. D: pasta and tagli sauce when I get home.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    Thanks for starting us off! :)

    This week I've got:

    Friday - suet-crust mince and veg pie with cabbage
    Saturday - chicken and squash casserole
    Sunday - Cheshire cheese and roast veg tart
    Monday - roast squash stuffed with veg chilli, with garlic bread

    Tuesday - beef and spinach stroganoff and chips (not a usual combination, I know, but I have a strange fondness for creamy sauces with chips)
    Wednesday - cheese and tomato pasta bake
    Thursday - smoked mackerel and potato bake

    I'm storecupboard challenging at the moment, so everything except the cream for the stroganoff is from my stores. I'll also be making a banana cake at some point, to make inroads into the mountain of frozen bananas taking up space in my freezer. :o
    Back after a very long break!

    Thanks for starting!

    A bit up in the air this week as my little sister (very picky eater!) is here to visit until Monday. I should also mention that I had one of the best eating weeks of my life visitng Addis Ababa for work the other week, so everything seems like a bit of a letdown!!

    Friday - mushroom risotto, maybe with new potts or broccoli (which she wont eat, no cooked veg, arg!)
    Saturday - out likely for something cheap in china town as we are going to a Rocky Horror Sing Along (of all the things to do when you come to london...)
    Sunday - Sister has promised to make us a full japanese meal as a host gift (all forgiven!)
    Monday - pasta pesto with veg left in fridge
    Tuesday - veggie chili from freezer with brown rice
    Wednesday - veg bolg pasta bake
    Thursday - me out with friend, OH in with leftovers

    Should make it through buying very little, which is good as I need to scrape together every penny for hols starting on the 12th.
