  • Oh my God, last week went oh so very wrong, I don't think I could've made a bigger mess than I did of last weeks plan.

    So take two, heres this weeks attempt:
    Friday dunno, I had savoury rice, oh could have eaten anything
    Saturday lasagne with onion rings and garlic bread (if I go to Tescos)
    Sunday Chilli
    Monday Not sure, maybe a bit of a fry up
    Tuesday hm burgers and fries
    Wednesday Toad in the hole (my fave)
    Thursday veg fingers and wedges

    Hope I manage it this week coz I spend less wen I stick to the plan

  • Quick Q anyone whos around :)

    If i make Toad in the Hole, do i need a roasting tin thing to cook it in? Would a normal oven-proof dish not get hot enough for the yorkshire to cook or does it not matter?

    Not making it tonight or anything but it was just a random though that popped into my head as i was reading peoples meal plans :)

    Thanks

    Hi Hun!

    I always use a roasting tin as I find the oven dishes dont get as hot as I would like. It can be done though, but I find the batter doesnt rise as much.

    Good Luck!

    Hi,

    My roasting tin is too big so I always use a big square pyrex dish, always turns out well.

    Yum Yum!!!

  • Mt plan went to pot last week as spent the bank holiday weekend helping hubby to fit kicthen as my sisters house. As she had no kitchen/cooker, and I didn't have the energy to come up wth anything else, we ended up having takeaway friday, sat & sun. At least my parents came to the rescue for Monday a did a roast for us all.

    Anyway, enough of my ramblings, this week:

    Fris- mystery shop
    Sat - lamb casserole & dumplings (bumped from last week!)
    Sun - roast beef dinner (bough large piece - there is only two of us, so I cut it in half and have frozen half)
    Mon - Hot LO beef baguettes and wedges.
    Tues - Either sausage, mash, veg & yorkshire or HM fish & chips (this keeps being bumped)
    Wed - Mystery shop
    Thurs - Mysery shop
    Fri - Chilli & Rice (f)

    Glad you had a good holiday PP. Your meal-planner sounds lovely!

    Where do you get the pigeon from and how do you cook it? I have had it before but just picked at it but I know someone who eats the bones too...is this normal?
