It’s holiday food today, we have an octopus in the freezer, so we will have that tonight, as part of a tapas style meal, Octopus on BBQ, garlic prawns, chorizo in sherry, manchego cheese and Ham (jamon Iberico), fresh cooked bread, pardon peppers, salad, olives etc and some good wine

lunch will be pork pie and salad

Octopus. Useful at Christmas, if you have a large family. It tastes like chicken (or like chicken did, when it tasted like chicken) and everyone gets a leg.

I still remember the taste of the deep-fried baby octopus in Majorca many years ago. No taste of its own but slightly caramelised and sweet.

Dinner today was pork fillet cooked in the slow cooker.
Served with roast potatoes,green beans,carrots, yorkshire pudding,apple sauce and gravy.

We had toasties for lunch and for dinner the long awaited Chinese take away. We had combination starter, soup and my main was 'special with cashew nuts' with rice. It was really nice and I am really stuffed..

I made scotch eggs, for the meat eaters. Dont know what happened but the breadcrumbs split and the sausage meat sort of slipped off the eggs.
The deconstructed scotch eggs were served with salad, mashed potatoes with spring onions mashed in and coleslaw. I had quiche with mine.
Toffee crisps for afters.

I have defrosted some puff pastry overnight in the fridge that I found in the depths of the freezer yesterday and I'll make us a wartime raised pork pie with it to have hot today and then cold for lunch with soup for a few days this week, mashed potatoes and steamed veg to serve with it and our lunch today will be eggy breads topped with baked beans.  Pudding for the next few days will be a spiced rhubarb upside down cake I made yesterday with custard or home made rice pudding with custard and jam (is lovely!).

Tonight we are having salmon and veg tray bake. We are having. A food shop delivered today for the first time in 4 weeks. It’s going to be good having some fresh bits, we are all really craving crunchy fresh veggies.

We’re having a slightly spiced lentil and veggie soup for lunch which I made in the slow cooker yesterday ( using up broccoli stalks etc). Should be enough for 2 days for us both, with toast or crackers.
For dinner I think I’ll make an aubergine parmigiana hybrid as I have 2 aubergines in the fridge, with a side of an attempt at a GF flatbread with the last of my flour ( I think). If not that then it will be either Mexican style burgers ( one plant based) topped with tomato slice, avocado and jalapeños, h/m sauerkraut on the side and h/m chips . Or it could be the second half of a Mixed bean chilli that I defrost from the freezer with rice, h/m guacamole, h/m sauerkraut and a handful or tortilla chips. 
Decisions, decisions 😂

CBA last night by the time dinner came round so it was a bag of crisps. Lovely weekend though - shame the weather is on the turn this week.

I made a chickpea cauliflower curry (from a red curry paste) on Friday, which husband and I ate. DDs had fries, cheese slice and the last 6 chicken nuggets. The curry was slightly too spicy for me, so I added pineapple chunks and juice to mine.

Saturday husband had the curry again, to which he added some chicken drumsticks. DDs and I had the last ham/salami pizza and 4 mini pizzas.

Sunday I had the curry again, with pineapple chunks and juice, and I made some raita to go with it; husband and DDs had achieke (grated manyok) and deepfried tilapia. Tonight, husband will have the last of the curry (hurray!), DDs and I will finish off the achieke and fish.

Tonight I am making (at Mister CJ's request) cod in parsley sauce, except I have only just remembered to take the cod portions out of the freezer so I hope they defrost in time. They're quite chunky.
I'm going to make a black forest gateau for puds this week - again, at His Lordship's request. I think he has regressed to the 1970s or something
