Made a Friday Fakeaway meal tonight: HM pork ribs with smokey BBQ sauce, coleslaw and celeriac crisps

Could I be greedy and ask for a recipe for these please? I bought one of those Y shaped vegetable peelers recently and it shaves off lovely thin slices of celeriac and I could just see it making lovely crisps. I've looked online and the top three results are from Waitflower, BBC Good Food and Riverford and they each give a different method so just thought I'd ask. TIA, goldfinches.

Beautiful dumplings @goldfinches.
Mine yesterday were not round, once I had made the dumpling mix I just blobbed them mix on top in bits. But they were lovely. I often make cheese and chive ones if we have a tomato sauce in the casserole or stew.
We had the jacket potatoes, topped with chilli for the meat eaters. I had wedges topped with a tin of vege beans and sausage and cheese. I quite enjoyed it.  Then fell asleep for two hours, hence the reason I'm wide awake at 2 in the morning.

Your cheese and chives dumplings sound delicious @JIL and thankyou for the suggestion of the tomato base to poach them too. I can't try them yet because my window ledge chives are very sparse at the moment but when I have sufficient new growth to trim and snip I'll give them a go.

Tonight we had breakfast. I had vege sausages, egg, tinned tomatoes, mushrooms and rosti. Others had bacon and baked beans with theirs and was delicious.

Pan fried sea bass fillets with stir fried veg and straight-to-wok noodles with a ginger and lime dressing.  For puds over the next few days as have made a sponge traybake, drizzled over a bit of Cointreau left from Christmas, and topped it with whipped cream and a layer of tinned drained mandarins.

DDs birthday so we're pushing the boat out. Steak, jackets, mushrooms and salad as requested by DD. Made a chocolate birthday cake. Already had the ingredients so reduced the spend a little.

A chinese boxed ready meal from m&s, it was much cheaper than a takeaway but a bit disappointing.
We have beer to make up for it.

Absolutely! It was super simple. I just used my mandolin to cut celeriac and threw it in some oil in a pan (about 2 inches deep) and fried until it turned brown. It is tempting to take it out too early, but I tested one that was just brown around the edges and it didn't crisp up so they do need to be be turning brown all over. Takes a couple mins to crisp up ad don't worry if they curl up...it just adds to the crunch! I just had salt sprinkled on mine, but I guess you could do a salt/smoked paprika mix if you wanted to spice it up.

I had lamb tagine with a side dish of cucumber, pomegranate, shallots, lemon juice, olive oil and salt/pepper. Had a couple of HM flatbreads made of almond flour and coconut flour too.
