We had fun last night with a massive birthday Chinese takeaway for 8, eaten under the stars with wine flowing and good company - love this weather x

A little more sedate tonight, just the 2 of us with BBQ steak, watercress salad and new potatoes

Also made a Catalan style rice pudding flavoured with orange zest and cinnamon, will serve it cold with a caramelised top

Oh ho, He Who Knows brought me back the first picking of rhubarb from the allotment this afternoon, half of it is simmering on low in the slow cooker to have as compote, I find the pieces stay whole and all I add is a little boiling water at the start, cooks to perfection in a couple of hours and the other half is in the oven under a ginger crumble topping for the next few days puddings.....I think it's finally spring!!!

Indian potato, poppadoms, paneer curry and fish curry.

Ice cream for afterwards.

We had ground elder, nettle and cheese omelette for lunch yesterday - I do like eating weeds, it feels very frugal indeed! I'm not sure about the flavour of nettles though - it tasted a bit pungent. I'm going to persevere, it took me ages to like spinach and kale too! So possibly nettle soup for lunch today

Dinner last night was jacket potato, beans and cheese - easy and filling. We've got a chicken to roast for tonight. Have a good day all! (Especially if you're in the marathon!!)

We are out for lunch today, BIL's 65th Birthday

Still going to make chicken and Sweetcorn soup for work lunches, and using up some of our wild garlic to make garlic butter 'log' for the freezer before it goes over.

Wow FRUGALISH fantastic foraging!

We have DD2 and the Grandpickles coming this afternoon for a few days so meals will be different to normal. We are meeting them for a pic-nic at lunchtime and coming home I have popped a chicken into the slow cooker for the boys for a couple of days which they will have tonight with some rice, carrots and sweetcorn (absolute favourite meal) and we shall have some lamb and apricot burgers later on with onion rice and salad and I have made a rhubarb and ginger crumble to have for puddings for a few days too. Coffee if we all feel like it afterwards.
