What is for dinner today MK II

Turkey fricassee today with rice.

Well, we're having common or garden sausage and mash, along with previously prepared and frozen red cabbage.

It was going to be something more complicated but none of us feel like spending a long time in the kitchen!

Omelette with bacon, mushrooms and cheese accompanied by side salad and chips. Nothing complex here .

Tray bake thing - chicken, chunks of red, green and yellow pepper, onion, tomatoes, and aubergine. All mixed with Paprika, Oregano, Basil and olive oil.

Braised steak and onions into which I threw some spices – from memory: cumin, ginger, turmeric, ground coriander, paprika – and a stock cube.

We ate it with frozen (well, warm, actually) peas.

It was really good.

PS There were small amounts of leftover carrots and neeps in it too. Oh, and a bit of beluga lentil dal – freezer scrapings so to speak.

Omelette with herbs and chips tonight. Really couldn’t be bothered to do anything else.

Simple for me, fresh tomatoes , cooked, toast and scrambled eggs.

Tinned salmon New Potatoes and Peas

Last night fillets of sole, potatoes dauphinoise, carrots and peas.

Tonight I'm making salmon risotto with a good handful of frozen peas and sweetcorn thrown in.

Cold meats, jacket potatoes and salad.

Macaroni cheese, courtesy of Morrisons. Easier than making a portion for myself.

DH has been in charge of tonight’s dinner - I said I was having a day off. Anyway, he’s made a cottage pie which we will reheat later. There were some delicious smells coming from the kitchen.

Friday fish night! spicy salmon, new potatoes roasted with sea salt and rosemary, green beans and broccoli

Two rashers of bacon and one fried egg. That's all I felt like eating

Tonight roast chicken, roast parsnips, mashed potatoes, carrots, brussel sprouts and gravy.

I’ve got a venison casserole bubbling in the slow cooker. We’ll have it with dumplings and some sprouts (got to use them up some how 😁).
Rhubarb and plum crumble to follow.
DH cottage pie last night was very good. There’s enough for another day, so it’s gone in the freezer.

Chicken and vegetable curry.

02 / 01. Tuesday.

Back to a bit of simplicity today as we are planning a drive over to see our niece and her husband in the Los Gredos Mountains, Ávila tomorrow for the Epiphany with our 2 Birman Kit Kats, our daughters & their husbands, their 2 dogs: a French Bull and a Dalmation and our 3 grandchildren.

Today is a simple lunch at 14.00 and tapas at our corner bar for a very light dinner.

Happy Epiphany (6th) ..
