Originally made a load of potato soup which was fine taste-wise but the texture was that of liquid mashed potato (alright, I should have realised that, but I didn't) and even I didn't like it (OH won't eat mashed potatoes in any form). However, by the addition of an egg and quite a bit of flour, potato pancakes were produced and enjoyed with bacon and chilli sauce - even OH ate them!2026 Fashion on the Ration - 0/66 coupons used8

Made a strange 'bubble and squeak' type thing yesterday! Had some leftovers- coconut rice, parsnips and carrot batons in a maple and coarse-grained mustard dressing, mashed swede and horseradish mash- so mashed it all together, added some black pepper and baked it in the oven for 20mins - it was absolutely lovely! All leftovers are gone now so I'll have to cook again today....4

Now that sounds.... Interesting!
I Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy1 -

Not as random as some of my stuff!! 😉😂Chrystal said:Now that sounds.... Interesting!
Today it's roasted tomatoes with basil and garlic; fennel, blood orange and black olive salad, smashed butter beans with a coriander, chilli, garlic and blood orange balsamic dressing and garlic crushed new potatoes. I've made a fennel and blood orange relish with the fennel offcuts and I'll serve that with potato cakes (using the remaining spring onions), leaves and vegan 'halloumi' for lunch tomorrow.2
