    we had a lidl lasagne but I put extra cheese on my end.  Strangely not  completely hot even after a good 35 minutes in the oven.  And it had been out of the fridge for 3 hours!

    It's salmon tonight.  Half price side of salmon with a clubcard is £11.99.  Too much for us for 1 meal so I'll cut a couple of portions off for tonight and portion up the rest and squeeze it into the freezer somewhere.  I love my salmon!!

    Likely pan fry in butter with a bit of zataar.  Very likely white and wild basmati and maybe some cherry tomatoes on top.  We've got some stollen for afters or a month out of date yule log.  (courtesy of the food bank - having been burgled there's been a load of donations but some can't be given out like stuff that's past their BBDs so we share them amongst ourselves.)

    I also went to Tesco's and bought the bargain beef, chopped it up and casseroled it with onions, red wine and stock. 
    Made 6 pies for the inlaws freezer and husband had a single pie. Not bad for £8.22. 
    I also got lots of the Christmas veg and used some bargain broccoli to bake with parmesan.
    The bargain potatoes made dauphinose with some cream that was leftover from Sunday.
    I had my broccoli and dauphinose with some smoked haddock from the freezer.

    I had a mince pie for afters.

    off to get some pizzas along with every thing else we havn't yet bought for Wednesday.  Except dessert.  That's up to the OH to get as he's fussy.  And we'll want something fresh I think.  (no space in freezer!!!)

    The brisket was put in the freezer but has now been thawing.  It was out for a couple of hours yesterday and then put in the fridge but is still feeling quite solid.  I'm happy to cook it while still a bit frozen as it will be cooking for a lonnnnng time.  Tafelspitz - so browned then adding broth and carrots, onions and anything else I can find and left for a couple of hours minimum.  Will be served, sliced and the broth and veg ladelled on top with some added potatoes (might put those to cook in the broth as well - I mean, why have another pot to clean??)  I've got a bag full of squash in the freezer which I will add late on as well as I think it will go to mush quite quickly not being a really hard squash.  Depending on how much meat is left we'll have the same again tomorrow night or just some on sandwiches with soup from the broth.
