HI everyone,

Tue - Sausage, Egg, Chips and Beans

Trying to buy as little as possible this week so just using up things from the freezer (hence the dishes with chips etc when I am supposed to be on a diet!).
Lunches will be soup, sandwiches and salads.0 -
Black potatoes, are literally what it says on the tin ... potatoes which are black .. in the sense that they have black skins (like Desiree have red ones!) ... DH has a fascination for weird coloured veg and this is what he bought from Waitrose the other week ... guessing we'll boil them .. bit scared to be honest!!!!
Thanks for explaining that. I was hoping they just werent burnt spuds:D
I have got the lamb out for dinner tomorrow, but have decided to do a lamb stew and saysage cassarole as the lamb joint may not be big enough. Doesnt matter though as I have everything else in and the sausages are decent Finest ones! Will serve with either mash or small roasted spuds...not blackened though:p
