I hope I am committing a sin by starting a new thread but the other one is full and I enjoy it and the photos smile

I popped to the cheap farm shop on the way home from work to buy dog food and vegetables so I have made a sausage casserole with jacket potatoes. I normally put the potatoes in the casserole (I know wink ) but there was no room as I bought a rather nice leek grin it smells delicious smile

Beef, onion, carrots and Guinness in the slow cooker, with mash and sprouts.

I took some halibut out of the freezer at noon, but doubt it will be defrosted in time for dinner. so I'll do that for Friday.

But I did see a hamburger patty left over in the fridge; DH can have that, and I can make an omelette and chips.

Tonight?
Second half of last night's Seafood Pie.
I made a bigger one at the same time which has gone into the freezer as there's a big Cock a Leekie with prunes planned for the weekend.

Green Thai chicken curry with pilau rice for me, sausage and chips for DH who’s ’gone off’ curry.
Fresh fruit for me for dessert, DH might have some.

This
Seafood Pie - just out of the oven
white fish, salmon, smoked haddock, scallops, other assorted seafood with cheesy mash on top.
A variation on Jamie’s classic fish pie.

What a stunning Seafood Pie ..

Enjoy and have a nice evening.

I made cream of chicken (and lots of veg that needed using up) soup tonight. We had it with bread fresh from the breadmaker and butter.

Freya5 Wed 10-Jan-24 22:40:02

Beef stew in slow cooker,lots of veg, dumplings added last 20 mins. Froze three portions for later use. Love batch cooking.

Witzend Wed 10-Jan-24 19:43:57

I’m using up bits out of the freezer, so a substantial Mulligatawny soup, with lots of carrot, celery and rice - and curry powder, obvs., plus some leftover bits of roast chicken and chopped apple.
With warmed naan bread.

We finished off yesterday's minced beef pie. I served it with chips and broccoli.
It was just as good second time around.

I'm going to make some toast ☹

RosiesMaw Wed 10-Jan-24 18:39:12

I’ve just finished eating and -no false modesty here - it was!

Germanshepherdsmum Wed 10-Jan-24 18:37:34

That fish pie looks wonderful.

Callistemon21 Wed 10-Jan-24 18:22:12

I went out to lunch (gammon and pineapple etc and a pudding) so why am I feeling a bit hungry again?
Perhaps it's the cold weather or the thought of that fish pie!!

^What was wrong with the broccoli, kitty?^

It was was tenderstem - blanched then cooked in the oven in the same tray as the chicken. It was very chewy.

I will do the chicken again and cook the veg separately.

I'll remember that kitty. Tenderstem can be unpredictable.
