I cooked chicken thighs stuffed with low fat sausage meat and wrapped in bacon for me yesterday and low fat sausages wrapped in bacon for He Who Knows too so those will be lunch for a few days with either soup or salady bits and our supper today will be the other half of the veg chilli I made yesterday, surprisingly tasty. Berries and yoghurt after that and the usual coffee.0

Had a lovely girly shopping day out with my sister yesterday.
Had lunch at an all-you-can-eat place:

We love it.
My favourite is baked mango yogurt - and I'm so not a pudding person.
This is a traditional Indian dish called aam doi and I'm going to have a go when I get round to it.
Anyway, today we're having oink pie (shepherd's pie with pork mince and I add mushrooms, chopped tomatoes and chillies).
Home made mashed potato topping and I'll also add some mashed swede as I think it goes well with the sweetness of the pork mince.

Tonight, we were planning on Kedgeree but as the temperature has suddenly dropped from yesterday,I might try and find something else to do with the fish (which was lurking in the freezer). Possibly adding a can of tuna and doing fish pasta bake.
Not actually raining atm, but cold, grey and miserable. Well, at least the garden will appreciate it.2024 Fashion on the Ration - 10/66 coupons used

Made my first ever Delia Smith recipe, as such felt the need to put it here... devilled chicken drumsticks with the suggested pairing of onion rice from Delias Frugal Food. For the record itsmy only Delia Smith book and was gifted to me a very long time ago.
Have to say it was edible but a bit meh!
While Im here current favourite cookbooks are The Book of Greens by Jenn Louis try the Swiss chard polenta pg 81 and the absolutely cracking Salad Feasts by Jessica Elliot Dennison. Try the anchovy roast peppers with tomato beans pg 122 or roast tomato orzo with dukkah & thyme pg 940 -
Il cook something tonight but not sure what yet, I am aiming to use the meats from freezer plus I know there is at least two bags of corn on the cob that need used. Id like to make some room in the freezer for new produce! Il aim to defrost something at lunchtime. Lunch is a ham sandwich, maybes toast if I feel like mixing it up!0
