    pork tenderloin with chanterelles (frozen from the Polish deli).  Not sure what it's going with - I suspect it may be noodles so rather eastern european.

    We were out last night, wetherspoons.  Wont be doing that again in a hurry. Picture of my £8.49 dinner 


    Out again tonight so it's just jacket potatoes and fillings here, probably vege chilli.
    Wetherspoons has got so expensive now! I remember back in the day my husband and I could have a meal and drink for less than £20, my husband almost always had a mixed grill too. We went in recently and had a meal, adding on our daughters and it was still over £30, none of us had a mixed grill either these were just burger meals. Taking off our daughters meal it’s still a good 30% price increase in the last few years. 

    Dinner tonight 

    trying to use what we have in the freezer. My sister gave us a ready made cottage pie so I defrosted that and we had it with some peas, carrots and frozen yorkies

    Made a curry (well one of those jars with spices in the lid) using onion,  pepper and banana blossom. Whilst i don't think I'd ever mistake it as fish, and one of those things that's prob better the day after, it was perfectly nice.

    Had it with rice. 

    Can test me one day later theory as some left for another portion, or maybe two if i add naan bread.

    A bit worn out after helping out at eldest grandson’s sixth birthday party today, so many overexcited children and so much sugar (these two things possibly related).

    We had a simple dinner of bangers, mash and peas.
