    Ok the 7.30am ferry has broken down :mad: and we are getting picked up in an hr. So got a bit of time up my sleeve.

    Breakfast Thatch

    1 cup grated potato 1 cup chopped bacon or ham
    2/3 cup SR flour 1/3 cup corn niblets drained
    2 eggs, beaten 1 small chopped or grated onion
    salt & pepper

    Mix all to a batter. Heat frying pan and grease bottom with oil. Pour in mixture and spread it evenly, cook until brown underneath and set on top. Turn and cook the top until brown. Cut into wedges and serve.

    I usually make HM chips or wedges and salad. I also use any limp ;) veggies and grate them in that I want to get rid of.

    If you make it Thriftlady you can rename it Aussie Thatch. :D
    Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia. ;)


  • It's that time again!
    Mon - HM chorizo and bean casserole (made a huge pot a few weeks ago so this is from the freezer)

    Tues - HM beef stir fry with rice (beef chunks, carrot, ginger, garlic, onion, pepper)

    Weds - HM bean chilli (made this last week too and this was left over)

    Thurs - HM pasta and tomato sauce

    Fri - HM toad in the hole with onion gravy

    I am out at the weekend so no menu needed!

    THUR - Fish in batter and potatoes

    Have 5 portions of chicken curry in freezer and also will have bean & chorizo stew to freeze as of tomorrow - and this is in a 1 shelf freezer, really WISH I had a freezer as could do so much more, rather than a dryer which I don't even use... may have to sell it!
