Late as usual - and probably wont stick religiously to it (I tend to change at the last minute according to who is coming for dinner, what surprise ingredients my father brings round, last minute engagements or my mood) but it's still good to plan a it means I have something to work with and no last minute dash to the shops.

Saturday - HM pizza && salad
Sunday - Mixed antipasto, Roast lamb and all the trimmings, Easter panetone (Shaped like a dove)
Monday - [STRIKE]Something with left over lamb,[/STRIKE] BBQ at friend's Lemon meringue pie
Tuesday - [STRIKE]Big soup and cheese toasties[/STRIKE] Cold roast lamb and rice salad
Weds - [STRIKE]Mexican "lasagna"[/STRIKE] Chilli
Thursday -[STRIKE] Pasta fagioli[/STRIKE] Nicoise Salad as too warm for soup
Friday - Paella using up oddments of frozen fish in freezer (squid, scallops, prawns). If boys dont want it they can defrost something else! I'm no short order cook!

Thank you thriftlady! If you have any crystallised ginger in your pantry/fridge the syrup is delicious drizzled over the rhubarb... I use the chunks for some cake recipe or other, or rhubarb & ginger jam if I'm feeling lazy - but I always keep back the syrup for that purpose. Its also nice in a retro kind of way on a melon fruit salad....
How could you have bred a family that does not appreciate your damson jelly?
Your compliment is appreciated more than you could know - thank you again!

Great minds think alike I have some crystallised ginger in my cupboard and was going to add it to my rhubarb crumble

just to let anyone know who might be interested: the rabbit & butternut squash mush makes a fabulous pie filling - and it is even great cold! It is a definite 'do again'.
