I've woken up with a stonking headache
just as well I was planning a lazy day today
Not sure what we're eating so I thought I would look at my RC recipe list again:
Parsnip & thyme soda bread - tick
Split pea & ham soup - tick
Sausage & root veg stew
Oxtail with cinnamon & star anise - tick
Shin of beef with ginger & soy
Pot-roast pheasant with chorizo, butter beans & parsley
5-root soup with bacon - tick
Thyme and caramelised onion mash
Squash & fennel lasagne
3-root boulangere with big baked mushrooms - tick
Spelt salad with squash & fennel
Roasted parsnip, puy lentil & watercress salad
Warm salad of mushrooms & roasted squash
Porotos granados
Parsnip & ginger soup
Chestnut & sage soup
Pearl barley broth - tick
Cannellini bean & leek soup with chilli oil - tick, tick
Oven-roasted roots frittata - tick
Mushroom risoniotto
Leek risotto with chestnuts
Winter stir-fry with Chinese five spice - tick, tick, tick - we like this one :rotfl:
Roasted roots with apple & rosemary

I really don't fancy eating meat today so possibly the leek risotto, as we have all of the ingredients, or one of the salads.Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

Do you feel cheated?
Yes, I do!!! Especially as Mr MWC obviously drunk loads more than me (I know this because he bought a kebab on his way home) and he's absolutely fine this morning :rotfl:Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

After a wet and windy start, it has been a lovely day today. We went for a walk this afternoon and I pegged out some washing :T
Mr MWC has decided he likes mince pies after trying one of these - so now I have to share the box! :mad:Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

Oh no, how rubbish!
Well with any luck he'll become fixated on them and buy you several more boxes MWC
Though this is a lesson to us all... I'll have to be careful with Mr M over the next several days(!)
