[Bren In Pots]

Corned beef pie with mushy peas and onion gravy.

We had spag bol last night. Bol from the freezer.

Was going to be homemade ravioli filled with last of the duck, but depends a bit on the sunshine to power the food mixer. If not, squash risotto.

Preferment for some bread. Feels like ages since I last made any.

Pork ribs with barbecue sauce, salad and garlic bread.

Fish and steamed veg yesterday. Not enough sunshine yesterday for the food mixer, but loads today so salad and duck ravioli this evening.

Salmon and broccoli tonight. Small side salad and fresh fruit salad for pud

I'm just going to make some mushroom soup with my big box of "wonky" mushrooms. I'll make some garlic and herb croutons for Mr GF as he loves them and there is also some bread made yesterday.

[Bren In Pots]

Tuna pasta bake with garlic tomato sourdough.

[Nicos]

Salmon with a side salad.

Cheese and biscuits for pud.

Going a bit overboard on the ravioli recently, now all the equipment is out...

Yesterday, smoked salmon ravioli. Absolutely fantastic. Tonight, duck liver ravioli. Never heard of such a thing but can't see why not. Probably mandarines for afters. If not, a bit of Christmas pud.

Preferment for bread.

[Bren In Pots]

Chips with a beef casserole from the freezer.

[greenishfing]

Prawn, mushroom, sweetcorn and broccoli risotto.

Crème Brûlée

Both favourites of Mr GF (and quite high on my list too)

Maybe add a tiny amount of apple and white pepper to spice up some of the duck liver Snoop - so it’s a bit more like a boudin noir recipe? Just a thought?
Sounds yummy on its own too

Not sure about us at the moment.
OH made a terrine yesterday and fresh bread today so we may have that with a salad.

Diet starts again on Monday so I need to see what’s in the fridge which can’t be frozen/ needed tomorrow which needs eating up.

Thanks. I've been thinking about the additions. Apple's a good one. Another option would be a small bit of fat from the leg of ham. In fact, there's an idea: cook the liver in a bit of ham fat. Then whizz it up, drained of the fat, with the usual suspects (seasoning, parmesan, a bit of ricotta and an egg yolk). I've been pondering on black pudding ravioli too. Or choriçet. The black puddings here have rice or onion in, not lumps of fat, so would probably work well. And choriçet is fresh (not dried) chorizo.

The world might not be my oyster, but I reckon it could be my ravioli.
