I'm on a roll with meal planning :T
Saturday 30th - rhubarb & lentil curry or rhubarb-lentil-sweet potato stew (using rhubarb from the garden)
Sunday 1st - shepherdess pie & kale (from the garden)
Monday 2nd to Thursday 5th - I'm away so Mr MWC can please himself (probably lots of shellfish)
Friday 6th - huevos rancheros
Plan for today:
- a little bit of housework/laundry
- a quick trip into the city - need to take a few things back for a refund and buy walking trousers
- pot up some more seedlings/sow a few more seedsMortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000
