Wishing you a speedy recovery Pollycat.

We have roast beef and salad sandwiches for lunch today, followed by a hm fruit flapjack.

Easy dinner tonight of fish fingers, chips and beans.

MaddieMay - can I have a recipe for your slow cooker rice pudding please?

MrsLurcherWalker - what is the wartime pie recipe please?

Lunch today was left overs of the Cumberland pie which was yummy.

Dinner will be 5 veg sauce and pasta - loosely following a recipe off netmums. I separate the sauce and pasta so half goes in a pan with chilli and bacon and other stays plain. Keeps the children happy.

Fruit cake or yogurt for pudding

PollyCat keep warm and get well soon

Wartime Sausage Pie

Short crust pastry made with 4oz margarine and 8oz plain flour

Filling

1 pack of sausage meat
1 small pack of sage and onion stuffing
1 small onion chopped
1 eating apple cored and chopped
1 teaspoon each of dried thyme and dried sage
4 - 5 rashers of cooking bacon cut in thin strips
2 tablespoons of brown sauce
salt and black pepper to taste

Use half the pastry to line a pie dish, mix all the filling ingredients together well (I use my hands and squish) put the filling into the pastry base and use the other pastry to make a lid. Crimp the edges well together, make a steam hole in the centre and cook in a moderate hot oven 180 deg Fan/ 200deg C for 30 minutes and then reduce temperature to 160 deg fan/ 180 deg C for another 15 - 20 minutes.

This is nice hot with mash/new potatoes and cooked veg and also really nice cold with Jackets and salad. It travels well for picnics and holds it's shape when travelled. Hope you like it if you decide to try it.

That sounds like a fancy big round sausage roll. I’ll have to give a go - thanks ever so much for writing it out!

It's good for using up the wrinkly apple left in the bowl and the last of a packet of bacon that needs using and it tastes like a fancy sausage roll too but it's cheap as chips and that makes 8 decent servings, glad to share recipes love xxx.

Burritos tonight.

Sausage and lentil stew to use up the Matteson's smoked sausage my husband insisted on buying at the beginning of December...
