    I have some minced beef to use up so will be making a cottage pie tonight. The weather’s a bit warm for cottage pie, but never mind!

    Also making an apple pie for this week’s puds.

    Lazy Sunday, basic bbq with sausages salad etc

    EDIT:  got peckish at lunchtime so roasted padron peppers, wrapped sliced halloumi in bacon, roasted some mixed nuts in salt, rosemary and chicory root syrup (like sugar free honey) and made some salami crisp - as it turned into a tapa’s style lunch, felt obliged to make sangria - well that’s our after sorted 🤣😜

    Chicken dinner here today and we are going away for a few days so I'm using bacon that's getting close to its use by to make pigs in blankets.  Will plate up two for the inlaws for tomorrow.

    I will be having an aldi vegan battered sausage with mine, my newly found, go to.

    Herdez kit to make tacos last night were most excellent. (currently being sold at Aldi)  Dead easy and delicious.

    Tonight it's burgers and I'm hoping that OH will have the new hose on the propane Weber so it can be all done outside (so minimal washing up!!).

    Leftover curry for lunch here, and bbq later. Nipped out to M&S this morning and got their 3 for £12 offer - obviously bought the biggest packs of things - pack of ‘posh dogs’ which went straight in the freezer, 4 Aberdeen Angus burgers (2 of which will be frozen as I’ll have a veggie one and we’re a child down) and some Korean pork belly strips. Will also cook some asparagus, make a big salad and do a few wedges in the air fryer.

    Daughter and I opted out of the roast dinner, instead we are having airfry jerseys and ceaser salad, hers with chicken and bacon, mine with a tuna steak.
