    KERRI - in winter to buy, slice and freeze celery for stock, you can often find it reduced

    Today's offering will be Toad in the Hole, fat butchers sausages wrapped in bacon with sliced red onion, light fluffy batter and onion gravy, mashed swede and peas to accompany it - LO cheesecake for pud

    Also making seeded Swedish crackers, squash and ginger soup and smoked mackerel pate with lots of horseradish - yum ;)

    We're out for a Sunday lunch in a local tea room today and supper this evening will be Aloo Tikki from a charity shop Indian Recipe Book and it's potato and bread cakes fried crisp and golden with a red kidney bean curry topping, sounds and looks delicious.

    Roast chicken dinner for us tonight, but a busy day of cooking as I will also be making a sweet-potato-topped shepherdess pie and a saag paneer for later in the week, a tray of oat, fruit and protein breakfast bars, a pan of leek and potato soup for my work lunches, and a vanilla sponge traybake topped with stewed apples for puddings this week. I am just in the mood for a nice cooking day, I really enjoy it if I have the time.

    Good idea, I will keep an eye out. Was also thinking about substituting for celeriac, which oddly I quite like mashed....so could keep a bit back for the stock pot.

    KERRI- I would say yes, I love Celariac too, that and cauliflower are pretty much kitchen staples here as I try and low carb where possible, no that you'd know it with today's menu LOL fennel is another possible replacement.

    Another celeriac fan here! Kerry, I love it mashed too.

    Dinner tonight is roast pork, apple sauce, roast potatoes and lovely fresh veggies, only me and OH here today, so there will be plenty left for my lunch at work tomorrow and I will dice the remaining pork and use in a biryani , that's Monday's dinner sorted too.

    ...............I need some help from you lovely lot. Twice I've made HM chicken stock from carcasses. I used two as that's the most I can fit in my pan, with 2ltr of water as the recipe states, along with other usual veg etc. Bring to the boil and simmer for 3hrs. Apparelnty it should make 1ltr of stock but I've taken mine off the stove after 2-2 1/2 hrs, and ended up with less than half what it says I should which happened before................

    I like to use either the Pressure Cooker or the Slow Cooker for making chicken stock - depending on how speedy it needs to be ;).

    After a little 'whoopsie hunt' in Mr T's this afternoon, we've now sat down to Stir-Fry for tonight's meal. OH has got a huge Bassa Fillet sitting on top of his - I've got Finest Jumbo Prawns. A mixture of Sweet Chilli Sauce and GF Soy Sauce drizzled into the SF :drool:.

    Unfortunately I possess neither, I do mull over the idea of a slow cooker but also think it will end up being something else to keep the ice cream maker company in the cupboard.


    Tonight's gastro cookathon has been pate on toast. I would blame on being out of sorts with this cold and the clocks changing but actually it's just what I fancied and I cba cooking.
    Will prep some carrots and swede for mash tomorrow though this evening so it only be needs cooking.
