    Any - did you make the Har graw? Please share recipe if you did - * drooling 😋
    No, never tried that, sorry!
    i buy them at Costco, 40 individually handmade dumplings, according to packaging
    I always go when they are on offer in the offer booklet, keep them in the freezer and bring them out when I feel I need my prawn fix
    would heartily recommend them. On offer they are usually £7 and 4 dumplings per soup is filling enough, they are reasonable size!

    I found some duck confit legs in the cupboard, going out of dat. My MIL gave it to us sometime ago as leftover from a hamper they received and I left it in the cupboard as there is 6 legs in the can and only 2 of us. Also didn’t know what to do with it! Now I need to use it, so we’ll be having that with some new potatoes and braised red cabbage.

    Forgot to post yesterday but we had pizza and salad.

    Today we had a lie in so for late breakfast or early lunch we had berries, granola and yogurt.  Tonight we are having roast lamb, spring greens, carrots, French beans with new potatoes.

    Any - we regularly have Confit Duck, easy as pie, tip out into a baking tray, I drain off a majority of the fat and save for roast potatoes, the cook for 20-30 mins, spiced red cabbage is the perfect accompaniment as you need something to cut through the richness 👍 Jealous  

    I’ve also decided to make a mango crumble, have a bag of mango in the freezer - Inspired by MrsLW 
    Hi,
    I took the pices out of fat (left some fat on) and stuck it to the oven.
    There is lot of cold fat leftover in the can-should I do something with it for keeping? Or should I just scoop it in a jar and put in the fridge?
    There are bits of the duck in it (few little tiny bits), should I use sieve or something to get rid of them? Or would it be ok as is
    Thank you
