    Crab and chips

    Hubby has bought back a HUGE brown Channel crab, he’s having a warm bath as we speak.

    No need for anything fancy to go with it, proper HM chips and some HM lemon mayo - can’t wait....

    Well I have been on holiday for a week so I have quite enjoyed having a catch up on all your meals, I did a charity sports challenge yesterday which was pretty tiring, enjoyed a hot hot shower and a bacon roll afterwards! :j:j
    Quick spot of shopping yesterday resulted in a chicken in a bag being purchased (extra tasty) :T which was served with spring greens, marrowfat peas, baked potatoes and lashings of HM chicken gravy. Same again tonight. any leftovers will be thrown, and the veg in a sweet and sour jar and served with boiled rice. Later in the week it will be a mince based recipe. Possibly good old mince and tatties or shepherds pie. Enjoyed some fruit loaf for breakfast, nice for a change. :money::money:

    Just me and daughter tonight. I made tuna and pasta, added courgette, tomato, mushrooms, onion, pepper and sweet corn. It was actually very tasty. I had salad with mine.
  • Last night I had my venison ragu - with roast potatoes and soya beans which dd thought very strange - tonight I will have the biryani which neighbour gave me, rice included. Also found new recipe yesterday for sausage balls, saved to PC so will search as I got some sausage meat out of freezer and will make to have as a sort of tea time dish rather than a dinner.
