We're going out for a carvery. We've had a stressful day and lots of pubs around here are offering 50% off.

I'm afraid I'm going to let the side down today because my kitchen has just been ripped out for the new one. Microwaved soup.
Parmentier potatoes are a good alternative for chips Romola. Dice them into squares, chuck on garlic and rosemary, drizzle with oil and roast for 30 - 40 minutes.

I'm just watching The Barefoot Contessa on the Food Channel - she's making 'risotto cakes' which have 'erbs' in the recipe.

The Food Channel is my guilty pleasure!

Left over Paella from M&S - they seem to have lost their touch - not very tasty - no salt, no pepper - just a lot of chorizo 😫

Aldom Wed 18-Jan-23 17:00:44

It's a mushroom omelette tonight, with parmentiere potatoes and carrots with brocoli and sweetcorn.
Maybe a chocolate brownie to follow. smile

After perusing the fridge/freezer and cupboards I'm uninspired - what are you having?
