    Yesterday's reduced bargain was 2 lamb hearts for 50p. Casseroled one today with some more of the yellow sticker leeks, spuds and parsnips. Approximate cost 35p and still have half a bag of leeks to use up. Think I might fry them with some more of the potato and maybe an egg. Will have to see what yellow sticker bargains I can find this afternoon, hope it's mushrooms or chicken livers, they usually go well with fried leeks.

  • I've upgraded my old huge (6.5l) slow cooker for a digital 4.7l crockpot, the old one is now stored ready for when all the family descends on us for dinner.

    I just managed to get a large chicken in the new one, so giving it a trial run, we are having it with veg, stuffing and roasties, there is only 3 of us for dinner today, so OH is taking leftovers for lunch and DD and I will take some chicken and stuffing sandwiches in tomorrow's pack up.

  • Mushroom, chickpea and spinach curry. It's been in the slow cooker all afternoon and is making the kitchen smell amazing! Teen will have hers with rice, I'll have mine with some broccoli.

    Chicken chow mein this evening. It’s improved dramatically since I actually googled how to make it and bought 2 types of soy and oyster sauce.

    Then pumpkin pie.

    I usually have a Sunday cookathon to get ready for the week, but we did some tidying up instead.
    We had pork, stuffing,mini toads in the hole, roast potatoes, parsnips, mushy peas, cauliflower cheese, red cabbage, carrots and gravy. Sounds like a lot but a lot of the stuff was previously frozen. It was quick to do.
  • Sandwich for lunch and stew for supper.
  • Didn't do any cooking at all yesterday - unless you count setting up the SC for overnight soup-making ;).

    Taking a Cup-a-Soup and a Cheese Salad to the Charity Shop for my lunch today - with a couple of plums for afters :D.

    Tonight's evening meal is going to be some of the HM Soup with Crusty Bread Roll for OH and a slice of GF Bread for me :drool:.
