    I'm just making a raspberry trifle. I can't remember the last time I made jelly, must be over 40 years ago (am I really that old?). I had some leftover sponge fingers from a dessert I made a couple of weeks ago when we had visitors, plus a jar of Boozy Berries which we were given for Christmas. My goodness do they live up to their name, they're soaked in gin. I'm just waiting for the jelly to set. Of course I just have to keep checking the Extra Thick Double Cream is OK....... hope the jelly hurries up and sets soon or there may be none left......

    We had Basque fish stew with rice tonight. Was a new recipe which I will certainly make again.

    We went to friends last night for a couple of drinks and some munchies, was very nice, although gone are the days where we'd roll home in the wee small hours...11pm and we were home in our pjs. T'was lovely to catch up though.

    Not sure what today will be, I sense poss something picky as we're just planning a chilled out day.

    Dug out a chicken breast wrapped in bacon this will be for dinner with salad and new potatoes, mango sorbet and a few diced grapes for pudding.I am also going to make a few apple and cinnamon muffins later to have over the weekend as I have some apples that are getting a bit wrinkly,use them up rather than bin them I think

    :rotfl::rotfl: must be. I grabbed some POTW cherry tomatoes in lidl today. They've refitted our local store which totally threw me, they have taller style freezers and chillers now, which I don't really like as they make the place feel claustrophobic, and moved the fruit and veg to the front of the store like a traditional supermarket. Problem is that's the section that's always a bottleneck so putting it at the front of the store doesn't really seem wise. I guess time will tell.

    Anyway, finally stocked up in lidl, Iceland and sainsbobs today, spent about £90 in all :T but the cupboards and fridge / freezer really were bare so we're well stocked now for the foreseeable.

    Tonight's dinner was cold chicken and mushroom pie from the other night (sounds grim but is actually really nice cold) with peas. OH had pasta.
