@Brie - you threw chippie chips away?! Sacrilege. I would eat them reheated as my dying meal with lots of salt and vinegar between two slices of buttered white doorstop bread 😋 Probably tmi 😁

As to what we’re having - a selection of ready meals which have been accrued from TGTG bags. Not something I would ever buy so I always put them straight in the freezer for a CBA meal. Tonight we have fish pie, chilli with rice, chicken roast dinner and a lasagne. I would cook some veg, but quite frankly I can’t be bothered. First come, first served.

Last night was another dinner where absolutely all of the ingredients were free, courtesy of the Community Fridge : salmon and dill flan with a huge side salad of frisée lettuce, baby spinach leaves, cucumber, tomato, beetroot, avocado, spring onion, and coleslaw. 

Tonight will be roast beef, Yorkshire puds, roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese, carrots and cabbage.  All the veg were Fridge freebies too.  They also had a gazillion lemons so I’m going to make a few jars of lemon curd today.

Roast free range chicken with cranberry and apricot stuffing (which needs using) Jersey Royal potatoes, roast parsnips, mange touts and leeks and yorkshire pudding.
I dont think we will manage a dessert!! And best of all....leftover chicken for tomorrows tea and enough for the cat to have a treat. Then i will make chicken stock from the carcass.

Yes I agree but we are both supposed to be losing weight so better to throw the temptation away.  I personally would be tempted to reheat and cover in cheese as I've never been a chippy sarnie type.

And before anyone asks OH's "diet sheet" does say an occasional treat is allowed and actually mentions F&Cs at that point....

I will make some shortcrust pastry and use it to make egg & bacon pies.

Some of the leftover roast beef from yesterday, thinly sliced and chucked in the wok with spring onions, mushrooms, red peppers, shredded cabbage, water chestnuts, noodles and a black bean sauce.  Lemon mousse for pud.
