  • I gave DH the choice between a picnic/buffet-type dinner, or a Chinese fakeaway - he picked the picnic one. So we've got mini pork pies, mini sausage rolls, some garlic flatbread, tortilla chips, mini scotch eggs, and some little breaded chicken bites. 

    In theory there will be leftovers for lunches for the next few days but DH has been cleaning upstairs this afternoon so I imagine he'll be quite hungry!

    🤣 Tinned Mandarins always remind me of pudding for Sunday Tea at my Nan’s, a fruit flan with evaporated milk, the mandarin slices artfully placed in concentric circles, with a glacé cherry in the middle, covered in quick-jel 
    And me, though i am 100% sure my grandma never made me a flan of any kind ... I'm not keen on either flan or jelly so its mandarins with evaporated milk for me 🤣 
    Dinner tonight was a portion of the casserole i made the other night with a teeny dollop of cheesy mash i found LO in the fridge.
    Got a good YS haul in asda today,  two bags of egg noodles and two bags of Mediterranean veg for 62p in total. Split the noodles and veg into 4 bags of each and whacked them in the freezer.  Also got a bag of YS maris piper spuds for 25p. One is big enough for a baked spud. Given I've only just finished a bag i bought at xmas, these should do til Dec 🤣

  • We're having snags with mashed potato steamed cabbage corn and beans with gravy. I'm currently trying to keep our food bill down quite a bit so am eating out of the freezer/pantry and garden.

    I’m making boneless chicken thighs roasted with cauliflower, broccoli, green beans and new potatoes all tossed in a little oil and plenty of harissa spice coating. Apple pie and cream for pud.

    We’ve had croissants with HM strawberry jam for breakfast.
    we’ve got MIL coming round for afternoon tea, she’s not been to ours for months due to our building work, then COVID hit.  Finger sandwiches, scones with jam and cream, vanilla slices, cheese straws, the usual suspects 👍

    might make risotto later, I have asparagus that needs using and will make work lunches easy too.
