  • Steak pies from the freezer, mashed potatoes, cabbage, carrots and gravy shall be enjoyed in the only warm room in the house this evening because the boiler has broken and the central heating is kaput!

    Hope the boiler is soon fixed mrs LW.

    Yesterday I cooked a small beef joint I had a nut roast with roast potatoes, parsnip, carrot and swede mash ( I have started buying the aldi soup mix for this very purpose and it's like I get free onions) broccoli , red cabbage, Yorkshire puddings and gravy.
    I also made some bread rolls and sliced up the remaining beef and made beef rolls and froze them for packed lunches for husband.

    Today just me and husband for dinner, we had jacket potato, chicken/halloumi and salad. One of my favourite dinners.
  • Thanks JIL, plumber hopefully coming this morning and with luck it will be fixed and also the conservatory shell will be finished and we'll be completely sealed and watertight by tonight making the kitchen and conservatory area (huge space with no division) better at retaining the heat.

    Lentil and cheese loaf for our main meal today with new potatoes and a mixed salad to use up things from the fridge and I shall make some nice hot soup for our lunches to warm us up.

    Mrs LW you have my sympathies, we are still whistling in the wind too... thankfully we have the wood burner which is providing the heating.

    Today is a lovely frozen stew, I am almost at the point of screaming, and praying this is the last week where the kitchen is a no cook zone :(

    Tonight we had tuna pasta bake, my mother visited and brought back the container she used last week to take away some vegetable curry and jacket potato. It was filled with tuna pasta and garlic bread to go back home with her for her lunch tomorrow. It will be back to be refilled on Thursday!!
