What is for dinner today MK II

Quick & easy for us tonight. Fresh pasta (spinach and ricotta) with a tomato sauce as we're meeting friends for a farewell pint (or two) before we move 😢

Chicken (leftover from a roast) leek and mushroom pie - no pastry, lots of mash with cheese on top.

Leftover chicken bhuna from Friday in a jacket potato.

Toad in the hole, mashed potatoes, veg, thick gravy

A substantial minestrone, with pasta, butter beans, carrot, celery and Savoy cabbage - plus garlic bread.

Monday .. 04 / 03 / 2024 ..

Our main meal is always "lunch" and today is:

Provençal fish soup for our main ..

It contains fresh perch, cod, leeks, fennel bulb, celery, garlic, herbes de Provençe, saffron threads, tomatoes de-seeded and de-skinned, white wine, orange zest, a dried cayenne chili pepper and served with bakery hot baguette.

Nice day wishes.

Welsh cawl followed by lemon layer pudding.

Chicken & mushroom pie, roast potatoes, carrots, broccoli, baby corn

Last night I tried something new. Made a chicken and cashew nut stir fry with spring greens, spring onions, chillis. Very nice.

Completely forgot we have an extra large chicken to cook today buy hey ho, better than nothing.

I had some leftover beef and vegetable stew so I put it in a pie dish, made some shortcrust pastry to cover it and served it with mashed potatoes and French beans.

We had some vanilla clotted cream ice cream a bit later when we had room.

Going to Son's, and he's cooking a beef Madras and rice, then we'll have sticky toffee pudding and suctard

Homemade watercress soup and ciabatta. Rhubarb and ginger crumble and custard

I was going to cook Welsh cawl as it's St David's Day but we went out.
Perhaps on Sunday. We did have Welsh cakes 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

We'd had enough of raiding the freezer, so had fish & chips from the chippy. Surprisingly nice!
