  • It's rather a long time since I've done this, but I have reorganised the pantries and started getting food in for Christmas and the pre-Christmas birthdays. We're in Australia and it's hot right now, so my menu probably looks a bit different.

    Sunday (today): stir-fried lamb with ginger, garlic, spring onions and red pepper, rice
    Monday: boiled baby potatoes with raclette melted over them, spinach & bacon salad, gherkins
    Tuesday: black bean chilli, tacos, salad, soured cream
    Wednesday: marinated spatchcock chicken, potatoes, salad
    Thursday (DD's birthday): lasagne, garlic pizza bread, tiramisu
    Friday (her last day of primary school): vegetable frittata
    Saturday (OH's birthday): roast pork with crackling, roast vegetables, lime (& gin) posset (if I can locate the recipe)
