    Ohh wow, I'd love to have the skill to prepare a whole bird like that. 
    I don't eat a great deal of meat as OH is veggie but do believe if you do a) accept where it came from b) don't waste any.

    Tonight turned out to be a jacket spud as I found some baking potatoes I'd got RTC and forgotten about, was roasting a chicken for the mog so chucked in a spud whilst the oven was on. Had it with LO tuna and sweetcorn sandwich filler.

    IM - I am SO glad I no longer get given game! We pretty much lived in it when I was a child as we got given lots and my dad also shot as a hobby. There were always pheasants/partridges hanging In the game larder, pigeon, venison and wild goose in the freezer and occasionally hare. Rabbit was for the cats (it stinks). Since my dad died I’ve hardly had any. And if I never have to prepare and cook another hare again it will be too soon. 

    I hope you enjoyed your pheasant 😂

    Busy few days here. 6th and 8th both bank holidays. We kept our daughter off nursery on 7th so we could take her into Palma for the Christmas lights. 

    Big shop due tomorrow 

    tonight chicken wings, homemade chips and peas 
    Love wings....but being from "over there" I have to have mine with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing a la Buffalo style.

    Sounds like the lights would be good fun.  We don't go out to things like that generally (misanthropists avoiding the crowds...) but love to see the way people decorate their houses - there's some great displays all over.
    The lights were amazing. They really do dress Palma up so well. 

    Meat balls, homemade hidden veg sauce, pasta and cheese tonight

    soup, meat & cheese.  there's also some savoury pastries that need to be tidied away.  I might do them all and have whatever is left over for my breakfast tomorrow.  I've some frozen chilli for lunch so that will clear an inch or two of space for festive vittles.

    I stripped all the meat off Sunday's roast chicken - there was a lot if it! - and have made a chicken and vegetable puff pastry pie for tonight (and tomorrow), and there will be a Chinese chicken, veg and noodle stir fry on Wednesday. The chicken carcass is in the pressure cooker with the veg peelings making some stock for this week's lunchtime soups.

    We had jacket potatoes, with bits that needed using up, ham, eggs, salad, cheese. It was very nice.
