    Thanks so much @Islandmaid I did ask at the Spanish restaurant and he said his mum made it so he didnt know.
    I used evaporated milk in the weekend rice pudding but added sugar and it was far too sweet.
    I have used condensed milk in the past. Probably the best rice pudding I have ever made. 

    Tonight its posh fishfingers. With ciabatta rolls and tartare sauce potato salad.

    fish and chips with some coleslaw for me.  I have a feeling someone else will be making a chip butty.

    Apparently there's a ready to roast chicken with stuffing in the fridge.  There's also new potatoes available plus broccoli or peas and yorkshires in the freezer.  Not sure yet who's making this wonderous feast.

    Waving hello to everyone as I'm rejoining this thread after a prolonged absence due to feeling to feeble to do anything worthwhile mentioning in the kitchen.
    The good weather has really perked me up too, so I made the stuffed peppers at the bottom of this page yesterday evening and can report that they're very nice cold from the fridge with salad after a broiling hot day.

     Here's how mine looked when they came out of the oven. I found the recipe relatively easy for a very worthwhile result IYSWIM so I am popping this one in the "to be repeated" file.

    We sneaked off to nando's on a weekend away. I had a bean burger in a pitta with tenderstem broccoli and mashed potatoes, which was actually very nice.

    Hi all 👋 

    what a glorious weekend (finally) some decent weather for a weekend.  Bit overcast and cool today with heavy rain due later though. Anyone see th northern lights? we were tucked up in bed 🤣

    I'm going to have a fridge gravel surprise, some kind of Asian based meal as I have beansprouts and bok Choi that needs using, Mongolian beef and vegetable Stirfry maybe 🤔
