    Due to unfortunate circumstances involving a breakdown recovery lorry last night ended up being instant noodles.

    Haven't actually even thought about tonight, wondered why I wasn't that hungry but realised I had a cooked breakfast earlier today.

  • Dinner today was HM Lentil soup and HM bread. Tomorrow we are having Pasta Arabiatta again to use up the mascarpone cheese we add to it. Lunch will be baked potato with cheese and bacon.

    Thanks IM I was on my own in the evening, slightly dramatic with the engine temp suddenly shooting up and smoke coming up through the dash vents. Needless to say I hastily pulled over and hoofed it out of the car....with my shopping:rotfl:
    The mechanic will have a bit of a surprise in the morning when he finds my car at the garage (didn't like to bother him over the weekend to say it was there) Fingers crossed for the diagnosis otherwise there will be a lot of beans on toast to be had. :eek:

  • Just the two of us today so threw a couple of lamb shanks in the slow cooker with carrots, runner beans and parsnip. Served it with some mash.

  • Sort of shepherds pie. Leftover lamb with fried onions and mushrooms, sauce made with leftover juices, bisto and yoghurt marinade. Then a layer of braised cabbage and leeks, then a layer of mash. It was surprisingly tasty.

    Chicken, mashed potato, roast potato, broadbeans, kale, carrots, brussel sprouts, stuffing and gravy. I had vege sausages.
    I made a sourdough loaf for toast this week, foccacia for packed lunches, soup for packed lunches, a fruit cake and some rice pudding.

    Kerri - scary stuff, hope the repair bill is less so, glad you are okay x

    I hit Monday with a bit of a bang this morning work hectic, brain frazzled, dinner?

    Something to do with chicken thighs....... ended up marinating them in hoisin and soy sauce, roasted with broccoli and served over steamed rice

    Kerri, are you ok? Hope the car repair isn’t too costly.

    JIL, how do you make sourdough sandwich bread? I’m making boule’s only and as all my fussy !!!!!!s don’t like crust they don’t eat it. I’m also trying to find tall tin for making bread, nothing as such anywhere.

    Oh well, looks like I nearly reached the end of my meat supplies in the freezer, some chicken drumsticks and quarters roasted today for the boys and hunter’s sauerkraut stew for me( bigos if anybody knows what’s that in Polish)
