Well I never! Mulligatawny soooop with garlic and coriander naan. I'm making a curry next week!

Scratch that - " I've changed my mind, I had mulligatawny last week, so I'll have mushroom with ordinary bread please"

I think I'll make a fish pie for tonight, topped with mashed potato, grated cheese and slices of tomato. Frozen peas to go with it.

Pizza for supper with friends coming for the weekend. Got the dough bubbling nicely in the fridge from the other day. Cheesecake for afters. A meal just right for kids. Not a healthy meal, but it's vegetables and lentils all the way for the next few days, honest.

Except I've got a chocolate and orange ring cake to make for the weekend as well...

My first attempt at making home grown baked beans. I was dubious about this as I normally hate pulses except for tinned beans in tomato and they usually disagree with me. However I had loads of unused beans (Monte Gusto) on the plants in summer so I let them ripen and dried them and sort of felt I had to use them.

What a faff! Soak over night then drain, rinse, boil hard for 10 minutes, cook for an hour and drain and then you are ready to start the actual recipe. I cooked mine with onion, ham and tomatoes and some chicken stock then served with a baked potato and cheese. They were surprisingly nice, so as long as I don't get bad stomach ache I will cook the rest in one batch and freeze them.

Minced steak, onions, mushrooms and peppers with rice.
Strawberries and cream.

Thinking of doing a slow cooker cauli /lentil/chickpea curry of some sort (making it up unless I find a recipe) then doing some chicken sort of tandoor style its all in my head and makes sense to me.

No pudding unless I make something.

[Bren In Pots]

Our usual Saturday evening tagliatelle and bol.

[greenishfing]

I'm going to make leek, onion and potato soup.

Maybe a little crumble for afters.

Just had a dinner of cardoon stems, purple potatoes, and leeks. Been meaning to try cooking with cardoons for ages, and every year I have a few self seeded plants that try to move in from the next allotment. Not bad, quite mild, a bit like Jerusalem artichokes maybe.

Roast chicken, salad and new potatoes

Lamb steaks, with sauté potatoes, kale, carrots and some french beans from the freezer.
