What’s for tea?

African nut balls with tomato olive sauce over quinoa, broccoli, green salad, baguette, various pudding.

Cucumber Sandwiches, Tea and Victoria sponge.

Scotch Broth and wholemeal bread.

chicken Jalfrezi and rice, naan bread and beer

Made steak pie in my new pie maker today. Very pleased with results DH has now requested meat and potato and cheese and onion. I can just see expanding waists in winter!

Unusually separate meals here earlier, Mr J had pasta sauce and pasta I’d frozen, I had smoked haddock, carrots, French beans and a jacket (there was broccoli, but I found a cooked caterpillar in it ?). I’m determined not to have one person meals, because I freeze leftovers, hanging about taking up space.

Bobotie.

Jamie Oliver's recipe for mango prawns (deveined!). Quick and easy after a day gardening.

roast chicken, jacket potato, salad

A roast half shoulder of lamb - very well done to get the fat off - with boiled Jersey Royals, mixed veg (celery, carrots, leeks and peas), lots of proper gravy, and mint sauce.

Pizza and salad

Curry night?, when I get galvanised!

Chicken soup ?

Blueberry crumble and Co-op vanilla ice-cream. That's all I'm having because it will be enough. The blueberries are home-grown.

MrB wants a fish first course as well. He might get some peas with it.

Spicy potato cakes and ratatouille.

Spag Bol here tonight. Strawberries and Greek yogurt after.

Been sanding, filling, painting all day - and just have had enough. Going out for dinner- nothing fancy, just don't want to do anything!

Curried smoked haddock kedgeree tonight, garnished with chives and spring onions. No hard boiled eggs, though - I’ve never understood why they’re a Thing with kedgeree.

Spag Bol.

Red Lentil soup, baguette, green salad, my version of tiramisu.

Black pudding, bacon and New potato salad. It was delicious.

Delicious cannellini beans in vinaigrette, with rocket, tomatoes, shallots mixed, room temperature. Baguette. Affogato and biscotti.

Duck meat seared and baked, beluga lentil dal, microwaved broccoli and fried asparagus.

I used the pan in which I seared the duck breasts to fry the asparagus. We have recently discovered we like it fried and that frying seems to do something that neutralises whatever makes the apsaragus pee smell.

Chicken curry, leftover new spuds chucked in and some frozen peas.

Home made vegan sausages, cabbage, beans and onions from the allotment and apple sauce from the garden.

First autumn type of meal.
