Out: last bit of frozen peas for lamb&mash bake.
In: 2 portions lamb and potato mash bake. Lamb stock. Not as flavourful as would have imagined. Think had too much water to start off with. Still tasty though.

Carinjo - maybe you have a point. I've always said she should be an artist not a scientist. She's always analysing everything from what you say to how you do things.

Out:- cooked venison casserole, 1 x wrap, puff pastry.
Because the on-line order delivered Tuesday is still in the boot of the car and will be unpacked tomorrow I had nothing sweet for after lunch so I ended up making eccles cakes when I got up this morning at 6am, hence the puff pastry. All I have to do is make mash potatoes tonight for tea as pudding will be leftovers from yesterday. A nice easy day, i'm going to get on with seed sowing.2 -

Out - frozen fruit for pudding today, chorizo for lunch tomorrow
