What are you making for dinner?

I slow-cooked some cubed steak from the butcher with onion, mushroom, garlic, herbs, beef stock and a good glug of red wine, served with buttered carrots and a spoonful of creamy mash. It was bloomin’ lovely, and there’s plenty left for a return match tomorrow night.

Tonight we have shepherds pie. I did the mince bit a few weeks ago with some reduced lamb and bulked it out with veg and lentils so I got 2 meals worth and froze one lot. Mash made with sweet and white potatoes. A nice hearty meal

We were sensible about last night's dinner of a leg of lamb and have more than enough for tonight. Helped by the fact that it was undercooked by OH's standards (but not mine....) so it will happily be reheated for tonight. There's also left over new potatoes and more than enough frozen yorkies available as well. I'll be hoping for corn rather than peas but either will do.

Was taking a good look too at the little unloved cabbage we have and am contemplating shredding it for coleslaw. It's not a white cabbage, rather dark green and not really compact like the white ones but I think it will be nice with a bit of added onion/shallot and carrot and a yoghurt mayo dressing.

Last of the hm quiche to use today. Still have potatoes and salad in stock but need to buy milk.

I shall make mushroom soup and open a tin of ham for a sandwich. Not the greatest ham but we stocked up at £1 a tin from Asda. I have put it in the fridge so it will cut thinner. The bread and the butter are home made.

DH will get sandwiches and cake at the bowls match.

How does it compare to the fridge/fresh ham?

LO pork casserole with sweet potato mash, carrot and peas for the gang. I’m not overly hungry so will have some ham and cheese

We had chopped salad, mashed potatoes with spring onions (made yesterday) with leftover roast beef, ham, feta, stuffed vine leaves, bits that needed to be used up really.
