Tonight is bangers and mash with white onion sauce today and hopefully, if there are some in the fridge, sprouts.
Now that’s a pretty traditional British dinner.
and as I nipped into Tesco earlier when I went to town for a haircut, there is a vanillla cream slice for afters. (Actually far prefer the proper French patisserie version of millefeulles but when in England and all that…)

Meatballs and Orzo … I’m a new convert to Orzo and love it xxx
Have you tried Bobotie with Orzo… and frozen peas. Positively the very best combination of texture and taste. 
Mmmmm that’s what we’ll have tomorrow - just need to get some more lamb mince when I go past the butchers.

I decided to have baked polenta with my chicken and wrapped the meat in barbecue spices and bacon
@AdienCrafts This is one version of it.
I use minced lamb not beef and a Robert Carrier recipe which is now in such a mess aftger a lot of use that most of the words have been wiped off the page.
That sounds delicious Joy! As a treat, we had duck tonight. Really lovely. My boys liked it too. They thought it was chicken when it was cooking, so we have re-named it chuck (duck /chicken combo) - made fab gravy too.

I’m having yellow split pea soup for lunch (currently in the slow cooker, it smells delicious) and probably loaded nachos for tea - with peppers, spring onions, mushrooms, olives, and whatever else I find lurking in the fridge that will go

Yummy!
I will have a sandwich, because I’ll be at my bookbinding course, which starts at 4pm and continues til 9:30pm! But soup for lunch, so I will have something hot today.
Hope you enjoyed your Tikka!
Hehe! My mother gave my nieces and nephew some pheasant once. They thought it was chicken and said they liked it… so she didn’t tell them any different.
It’s nice to have something a bit unusual now and then, just to challenge our tastebuds.

Tonight I’m going to stuff some enormous mushrooms with some stilton, bacon, caramelised onions…and whatever else I fancy and maybe we’ll have that with saute potatoes.
Bob’s just eating the extra sausages from last nights dinner as a lunch sandwich. I’ve had a handful of nuts.

Oh yes, done this a few times. The other day I made venison stew - absolutely delicious! The boys asked what we were having for tea, I just said meat stew. They lapped it up. If I told them it was deer, they wouldn’t have touched it! They don’t need to know everything, do they? As long as it is tasty and they enjoy it, what is the problem??? Got chicken tonight. Smells lovely xx
