    Today I aim to make 2 salmon and asparagus flans with the leftover s salmon and a small handful of asparagus from my plot. Also 2 lemon cheesecakes as I need to use up some cream before it turns. One for the freezer and one for tomorrow
    Oh, now there's an idea for lunch with the extra salmon from last night! Got some chard from allotment will use instead.

    In:- lemon cheese cake, salmon and asparagus flan.
    Out:- turkey wing, I know it sounds a small useless item but the original bird weighed in at 42lb (19.9kg) so there's enough meat on it for a couple of days - needs slow cooking. Some frozen fruit to put with a jelly. cake batter to turn into muffins

    I've decided to go on a well overdue diet, starting today, so DH will be eating pastry, cakes, pies out of the freezer, not me  o:)

    I got up feeling both peckish and lazy this morning and after a bit of looking around various recipe sites decided on this loaf Quick Carrot And Walnut Bread Recipe - olivemagazine  as I had all the ingredients and I'm trying very hard to run my stocks down a bit. It came out very nicely so that's Out:-flour, bicarb, carrots, yoghurt, walnuts, milk and salt.

    Out:  goat curry for dinner tomorrow night

    Tomorrow I will be using some of the ham stock from cooking dinner tonight to make some lentil soup which will end up. in the freezer.  I've no doubt there will also be some of the ham left to be frozen after taking account of some to have cold on Tuesday evening.

    Saw a very old program of R1ck St31n last night where he was excited to have goat since it almost impossible to find in uk, how things have changed!

    Out: the salmon bits, not to be used for stock. I have however learned about using the ham liquid @joedenise and made a lentil soup for the freezer. The last week or so the recipes were even more inspiring than usual. 
    In: lentil soup
