Evening all

Pork chops which I’ve marinated with a blend of spices. I’ll oven bake with some red peppers and serve with chips and peas

Last of the mushroom risotto with some petit pois added and a portion of bolognaise. Bit of a random mix but cleared a portion of bog out of the freezer.

Really must rearrange it so the xmas food is all in one place.

OH has done a stew of venison hearts in red wine to which there will be mushrooms added and finally dumplings.  This was planned for last Saturday but we got delayed.  I know it will be lush.

Had to pop out to get some yoghurt for the morning and noticed in the BBF fridge that there were 2 packs of 2 duck legs.  £2 each.  That may be my birthday dinner next week.  They're currently in the deep freeze until I decide.  I was thinking of either duck breast or lamb rump steaks.  

Tentative menu....
pan fried scallops served on a bed of rocket.
duck breast with pak choy or lamb rump steaks served with peas and new potatoes
I might make chocolate mousse* for dessert.  Or maybe fudge pie.  Or do something wicked with those mahoosive meringues that they sell at the pasty shop (size of a football nearly!)

*mousse is simply chocolate melted, cooled and then added to whipping cream, then whipped.  I could inject that into the meringue along with some caramel sauce?  Or maybe I should just stop watching British Bake Off.

Smoosh

Spaghetti with meatballs for OH and just plain with tomato sauce for me. Will chuck on the leftover mozzarella and a bit of basil.

@Brie we love scallops, the season has started again so we’ll have fresh local scallops from next week, our local fisherman is fantastic, from sea floor to front door the same day 👍

tonight will be pie and chips from the freezer stash, chicken and pancetta or beef and ale, I ended up fasting yesterday so I’ll have the steak I didn’t have yesterday.

Hadn't considered seasons!  I know that's something with oysters (nom!) but it makes sense for other bivalves.  Hopefully there's been no impact like what's happened with lobsters and clams on the east coast.  Don't know where you are located so not sure if you are aware.

Harissa Chicken with cannellini beans and salad (fast 800 again) missing starchy carbs but it does seem to be helping the waistband.

It sounds great, wish I could persuade my OH that offal is good, I've managed to get him to try chicken heart teriyaki only because he couldn't work out what it was.
