    @joedenise i had the faggots in onion gravy today.  They were lovely.  Thanks.

    I had a look at the list of ingredients for Brains faggots.  No wonder they are so horrid.

    It's all been a bit disjointed this week - I can't get my head around what day it is, never mind what to have for dinner!  In the event, we've had:

    Sun - Roast beef dinner, broccoli, mash (planned)
    Mon - Beef stew with lots of veggies in it
    Tue - Fishcake, chips, peas (freezer trawl)
    Wed - Beef jalfrezi - (another freezer trawl)
    Thu (today) - Corned beef salad (now craving something vaguely healthy  :)  )
    Fri - ??? Probably a fish-y meal

    Tomorrow I'll sit down and do a proper meal plan for the coming week.  Since I've a gammon joint and a small chicken to cook, they'll feature on their somewhere.   :)
    Be kind to others and to yourself too.

    Still have some soup from the duck carcase, but will need to make some more in the week. Thinking carrot and coriander.  And after the meat fest that was Christmas I feel in need of veggies and fish, so …

    spanakopita and salad 
    tuna steak, peas and sweetcorn x2
    pasta puttanesca x 2
    Pasta with bolognese sauce from freezer

    I’m out for brunch on at least one day so that’s probably just going to be soup and a roll that evening. I will need to buy some veg so I can’t do a no spend week but with any luck it should be a low spend one.
