    out: 2 x trout 1 x individual steamed pudding which will go in the microwave once defrosted, quick and easy.

    I've been cleaning the kitchen today, moving things around and putting things away. It's taken me most of the afternoon but looks better. Next time we move I'm going to have a smaller kitchen, the problem with too many work surfaces is that it becomes a dumping ground for paperwork/recipe books/dog leads/leaving the casserole dishes out which are heavy and much much more. The pantry now looks full, not with food, but with all my cooking things - most of which are not really required but my DH is a gadget freak so I have to use them when he's around. I find that the simpler things are, the easier they are to use and usually require less cleaning afterwards. Who needs an electric mandolin which also cuts potatoes into chips when a knife will do!!!!  - moan over
