    I made a use-it-up puff pastry tart yesterday and managed to throw in the last of the dried porcini along with half of the leftover piece of cheddar cheese and two onions and some urfa chilli paste, it tasted quite nice with frozen peas and fine beans. I had the last easy peeler for pud with a couple of coffees so I've only got half the fridge left to eat now!

    The lasagne I made last night was huge and I have a supermarket garlic bread and more salad in the fridge so that again tonight. I don't think anyone will mind and it'll be nice not to have to cook!

    I'm using up the leftover pork from yesterday's roast dinner. I have minced up the meat and fried it with lots of finely diced veg - onions, garlic, mushrooms, aubergine, carrots, plus some peas and a little bit of leftover red chilli - and cooked that down in a sauce made from miso pate, mirin and sake.  It'll be topped with buttery root veg mash and baked. My version is loosely based on an Australian recipe I found online. Not sure if I will add cabbage to the mash or not though.

    Wow that looks interesting! I clicked on the link and they were advertising deals at Coles, an Aussie supermarket, and a small bag of onions is 5 Australian dollars! That's like £2.70!!
