    Still using up, made some bread today, avoiding shops till the last minute possible, do envy the bargains though :D

    Fresh bread with Spanish olive oil and Jerez vinegar dip, various charcuterie, olives, quick pickled veg, cheeses etc wine may be taken ;)

    The leftover roast pork was made into sweet and sour pork on Thursday, and there are still a couple of portions of that left in the fridge so we’ll finish that up tonight.

    I’ve made and frozen two large turkey/ham/leek/mushroom pies, and a pressure cooker full of turkey curry so we certainly won’t starve in January!

    Had Chinese takeaway with a friend last night, plenty left over for tonight...and prob tomorrow too.
    Still lots of Xmas stuff left over too, need to sort through it, portion up the turkey and get things in the freezer.

    House was still smelling of yesterdays fish, despite numerous candles and open windows.


    Today we had Mexican food buffet style, turkey fajitas, refried beans, sweetcorn fritters, stuffed peppers and dips. All made from bits we had in.

  • Another one out for lunch, off to our local steakhouse. I’ll have the calamari starter and then steak / chips / salad with beef dripping sauce.

    HM Mosakka for us with a side of glazed carrots. The Mosakka is an old weight watchers recipe that uses potatoes instead of aubergine.

    Mrs Motivated that steak and chips sounds gorgeous. My favourite meal. Loving seeing your early retirement goal in your sig. It's got me thinking about mine, it's further away than 2026. Ideally I'd like to retire in 2030 so might steal your idea and add that to my sig for motivation.
  • Roast beef with all the trimmings. Apple crumble and custard for pudding.
