Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Wednesday2000

Tinned fruit with condensed milk reminds me of going to my Grandparents for dinner on a Sunday too.

I'm having LindaMC sausages in a wholemeal toastie with ketchup. I fancy some brown sauce so I might get my husband to buy some when he goes out.

Love condensed milk.  That stuff is like crack to me.

I seem to have triggered a few memories with tinned fruit & Carnation, happy to help

Did anyone have jelly made with milk?

It turned sort of bubbly, presumably because it curdled not that a ten year old would sus that out

Rain this morning, saved one job anyway, watering the plants

DS & family are on the way to Wales, roads are clear I'm told.

Lunch will be a kinda ploughman's, I have the cheese, apples etc, and should my @sda YS box arrive in time I may have some crusty type of bread

If not then it'll be with cream crackers

My neighbour has given me 3 ripe bananas, ideal for my porridge breakfasts

Dinner, has to be use up the other [cooked] salmon fillet

Probably with salad, and if there are tinned spuds in the @sda box I'll use those, it not then HM chips I expect

And now I fancy a sausage sarnie using a couple of the super @sda pork ones

Yes, the same Grandmother used to make milk jelly. She had a jelly mould shaped like a rabbit.

Ahh, the old rabbit jelly mould.

Mum used to put blancmange in it, which usually never set and then the rabbit slowly slithered off the plate once decanted

The good old days, kids today don't know they're born

I remember someone recently (well before cv19 recent) pulling a face at me when I talked milk jelly, I don't think it's done now  we also use to make a mousse by whisking up jelly and a tin of evaporated milk, I think my eldest sister still makes it for family gatherings in the 70s it was considered posh  

I've a long and probably expensive hair appointment booked for this afternoon so it seems typical that the rain is here to 🙄 rule of thumb is usually the more expensive the worst the weather so expect to hear of a hurricane over the south east about 4pm. At least no watering required when I get back  

lunch will be a quick wrap before I leave I have smoked mackerel left but probably not a good idea before a hair appointment so probably cheese and coleslaw or salad.  I've taken a pork chop from the freezer so will have with HG veg for dinner just not sure how to do the potatoes yet as I have both old and new in

Good afternoon 
A milk/whisked jelly is gorgeous, for special occasions my Gran used to line a Charlotte mould with sponge fingers then fill with the jelly. It was decanted and topped with whirls of cream and strawberries or raspberries. It looked pretty impressive and also tasted great. 😁 I used to make a simple one when the boys were small but haven't had or made one in years.
After the most torrential rain and thunder overnight it's dryish now though for how long I don't know as the sky is still pretty dark. Earlier we popped to a local farm that has a shop to buy ayrshire spuds and bought a romenesco cauli, asparagus and some gorgeous looking strawberries while there. We are having roast belly pork for tomorrow so the veg will go nicely with that and we'll have the strawberries for pud. The smaller freezer is pretty much sorted out, there were a couple of UFOs and I was ruthless with the multitude of tiny tubs with splodges of stuff in them so it's looking much clearer now. I didn't find anything interesting I had forgotten about so dinner last night was shepherd's pie, beans and peas all from the freezer. I also found some bagels so lunch was a bagel filled with bacon and tomatoes. Tonight we're having chicken wings, corn cobettes, salad and a baked spud.
