Out: portion of cooked venison mince to make a cottage pie, going to add in loads of veg from the plot.
Had yet more apples given to me yesterday, large crispy golden delicious and more Bramleys, it's been such a good year for apples and pears, swapped them for trays of eggs, tomatoes and a couple of butternut squashes, so pudding will be something to do with apples.2 -

Out: katsu curry seasoning for naked chicken burgers.
In: blanched runnerbeans from allotment (hopefully, feeling a bit lazy)
Sending out an SOS: Have about 2kg of tomatoes from allotment and I really want to have a go at making sweet tomato jam. Not tomato and chilli jam, not chutney and not relish. Anyone got an easy enough recipe, please send it my way. And no, I don't have a sugar thermometer. (I really hate google at the moment!)It's good for the soul to walk with your soles on the soil.1 -
in : nil 😇
out : last of the cow stock cubes and frozen buns

Yay, NSD today. Using up some the fresh stuff first in the fridge so had lovely pork chops with mustard and sour cream sauce with leftover mash and some veg. Delicious 😀 used up some dying pears to make a compote, put a couple of frozen wine cubes in. I will be having that in a minute.
