@London_1 Glad to hear you are making the most of our lovely produce Jackie 😊

 

Indeed DD went over for a week with my son-in-law Simon and their dogs, the week following Easter Monday and had really good weather she brought me back some super fresh farm eggs and on the vine tomatoes and a jar of my favourite garlic mayo. Only 7 weeks this Friday before we all go for our annual fortnights break in Bembridge at the holiday house.

We shall also be looking around as well, as we are both hoping to move there towards the end of this year perhaps early next now the majority of her children have grown and flown the nest. 

The eggs were gorgeous with deep orange yolks, nothing like the insipid pale lemon ones from the supermarket. 
My dinner/lunch was great and I'm still pretty full so will only have a snack tonight perhaps.

Cheers JackieO xxx

Ohh you can have joint BBQs and dinner parties and make the rest of us most envious 😁

Tonight was spinach and ricotta tortellini with tomato and basil sauce. Added some mozarella to both, and parma ham, oilive oil and balsamic to mine...and more cheese.

Pud was a rather stale doughnut revived in the air fryer.

We had new potatoes, broccoli, asparagus and seabass. 

Raspberries and yoghurt afterwards. (With a shortbread biscuit)

@London_1 Sounds like a plan 🙌 Bembridge is lovely, we’re the other side in Cowes 

Got the whole tribe round for dinner tonight, DD is on nights and her OH that does most of the cooking as gone off for a stag weekend today, so she needs feeding 🤣🤣 

Tuscan chicken and rice bake with garlic bread and salad, I’ve still got some prawns left, so Tuscan prawn salad for me.  Might make a lemon posset for pudding as we have a ton of creams and some sad looking lemons.

I have some cooked chicken in the fridge - will have with lo mushrooms/tomatoes and a fried egg - quick meal for after hospital visiting.

Cheap dinner this evening. Breaded chicken I got reduced, noodles that cost 35p a packet (we use 2) and then I add in peas, peppers and onions. All in all less than £2 for 3

Bembridge is indeed lovely - we are renting a big house there for the first two weeks in August, staying with our daughters, their husbands, three grandchildren and three dogs. Cannot wait to get back onto the diamond isle, I'm bursting with excitement

I've made a pasta bake for tonight with enough to finish up tomorrow as I am not sure how I will be feeling. I'm booked in at 8.30 tomorrow morning to get a cataract removed by large spade, carving knife or electric drill or however they do it. Wish me luck!

My late husband was a born and bred  'caukhead' from Northwood, all of his family were from the Northwood/Gurnard area of the Island going back for about 10 generations My two DDs spent half their life at their Grans in Wyatts Lane

Hoisin prawn stir fry with noodles.

I’m also trying to use up my cupboard and freezer supplies instead of shopping so for lunch today instead of going out & buying a sandwich, I used the leftover end of the focaccia I bought at the weekend with some leftover ham and cheese with mayo and made a quick pan of lentil soup with some cupboard red lentils and a ham stock cube. 

Have also frozen a portion of soup for next time & have enough for lunch tomorrow too.

Last night I made the Hairy Bikers delicious sausage casserole using up the last of a bag of frozen Mediterranean veg, we ate it with mash and green beans. 

Shopping day tomorrow, so made fridge gravel veg peanut noodles with a few spring rolls I found in the bottom of the freezer!

I do like that Hairy Bikers recipe. It’s a regular in this house.
