  • I’ve been out marshalling an ultra all day so I ground a quick curry paste this morning, and pulled together an easy tomato and fish curry, with some brown basmati and a cucumber mint raita to cool it off!  YUM!  Followed by a pack of 2 Maryland Muffins that were 2 down to 13p in Morrisons...winner 😁

    I have a large rolled shoulder of lamb which has spent most of the day in the slow cooker, and it is already fall-apart tender. Will be served tonight with roast potatoes, carrots and steamed spring greens, Yorkshire pudding (Mister CJ requests it with all roasts) and gravy. I've made an apple and blackberry crumble with custard for pud, with the last of the home grown blackberries from last year via the freezer - they are really big ones, too.

    The leftover lamb will be shredded and turned into lamb pilaff for tomorrow (I have discovered frozen pomegranate seeds! This is a game changer), and used for lamb, mushroom and rice stuffed peppers on Tuesday.

    Today is roast from the pub but we're not fans of stuffed peppers so they will be repurposed in a chilli and we're having plant based kievs instead.

    Today I've had roast pork with crackling, turkey, celeriac and swede puree, spiced red cabbage and cauliflower. I had some LC chocolate & peanut butter cake for pudding with thick cream and a spoonful of LC chocolate ice cream.

    That sounds amazing, @rachsecret!

    I made a fish curry, using homemade curry paste and enough Kashmiri chilli to make our eyes water, with a cooling lemon, mint and cucumber raita and some brown basmati to help with the burn 😁. Followed up with a chocolate mint protein shake and I’ll be mixing up some badass protein fluff a little later too.  Yum!
