Morning everyone,

I fried up the leftover jersey potatoes and we had them with cold gammon, baked beans and fried eggs. Eggs from the local farm.
Quick and easy.6 -
For lunch toay we had potato cakes and some more tomato&feta salad
For tea we had some goulash with sourdough bread. It was disaster. My cooker sometimes playes up and it decided to do so today, and instead of simmering decided to jump again to full blow and burned the bottom of the pan! Aarrrgh. Definitely time to start looking for new range cooker. This one we bought with the house,and I had problems from the start. It's definitely getting worse.4 -
A chicken curry tonight - vaguely Takeaway Secret recipe - with rice and naan. Then treacle tart and custard.5

Tired today, didn’t put the gammon in the slow cooker so tonight could be chilli and nachos – easy cooking!
lunch is ham and egg on toast

Argh, how annoying - I hate it when I burn things as there's just no getting away from it. I'm no cooker expert but would it be worth having someone come and have a look at it perhaps? Might be something relatively simple to fix / replace rather than a new cooker (unless you really want one anyway).Any said:For lunch toay we had potato cakes and some more tomato&feta salad

Dinner last night was Thai red curry with Quorn pieces, roasted squash and some diced peppers that I'd lobbed in the freezer. With rice. All gone, no leftovers.
Tonight is fend for yourself - I bought some more jersey royals on Sunday so might have those with something.
Tomorrow I think is planned for stir fry.Feb 2015 NSD Challenge 8/12JAN NSD 11/16

I might google it first. Problem also is that there isn't such a big choice in the size there, and colour. Half of the offering is the make I have now, and I would not like to go and spend a grand at minimum on something that let me down so muchkerri_gt said:

I also hate the second oven on it, never worked right for me...even OH, after saying "oh,it just doesn't have a fan,otherwise it's just an oven like any other,I don't think it's problem with the oven, you just are not used to it" had brought out of it the most anemic roast potatoes at Xmas I have ever seen!!! 🤣🤣🤣 After an hour. On almost full blast.
I just lifted my eyebrow at him 😝
Lunch today is a sandwich as I bought some salami at Coop yesterday, and a burger for tea4 -
Our second top oven (also the grill) doesn't have a fan and I must say I rarely use it - in fact I only use it at xmas when I need to start things off and then move them to the fan oven. Sounds like your OH is lucky he didn't have a roast potato launched at himAny said:I might google it first. Problem also is that there isn't such a big choice in the size there, and colour. Half of the offering is the make I have now, and I would not like to go and spend a grand at minimum on something that let me down so much

Finishing off yesterdays soup with waffles-lunch. OH will have waffles with beans for lunch.
Dinner is going to be corned beef, mash and mushy peas for me..OH will have the rest of the beans from lunch with his instead of peas. And at lunch time I'm going mix in half of the tin of mushy peas with my soup.5 -
Oh there was no need. His mother had given his potatoes questionable look and believe you me, that is the worse punishment you could issue him with!!🤣🤣kerri_gt said:
