MONDAY'S tea

[tintinthegingertomcat]

The usual for us....chicken and vegetable pie for my teenager and I am having curry. As I have a stinking cold and the taste buds have disappeared I shall make it a hot curry in the hope that I may well be able to taste something LOL.

Curry's good opens the nasal passages,

We are have spaghetti bolognaise tonight, We have a painter painting our house this week so need something easy. Fingers crossed it stays dry.

A friend of mine made me a lovely hot drink for a cold once and since I make it every time I have a cold. Take about 3 or 4 slices of lemon and place in a mug. Put about a tablespoon of honey over and mash with a spoon. Then pour over boiling water and sip on this. He said that you could also add a crushed paracetamol if you take those. Hope you get to feeling better soon TinTin.

Not decided yet..... Neighbors kindly brought us some veg from the farm yesterday, so I might do some cauliflower and cheese. Not sure what else to have with it though.

We had our normal Monday tea of turkey, stuffing, mixed veg and gravy.

Thanks Stroppy.  I have opted to do a bit of cooking tonight and doing this recipe with some alterations....... http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/perfect_cauliflower_27405  I didn't have any mustard powder so used made mustard. Out of cream so used Cream fraiche and put some garlic into the sauce too. And used just a few of the bread slices that I have here on hand.... seeded sort of torn in large crumbs. Also cooking for a bit longer than the recipe says.... 30 minutes at 170 fan. 🙂 Going to serve with a bagutte and some salad. 🙂

we had mushroom stir fry with some meat in it. It was lovely, I really enjoy that, I think it's the noodles I love the most.

I had duck egg scrambly tonight on toast.

The cauli and cheese was lovely. 🙂

We had pizza.

Base from A*da, no tomato sauce, just cheese, a little onion, the one tomato we've had from the garden and chestnut mushrooms. Enjoyed by us both

Well we had pork chops in gravy cooked in a blinding hurry, by remote control (daughter locked herself out!)and the lads say can I do it again - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!  Chopped onions whilst telling OH to get out the kitchen, fried off chops with onion, pepper and apples, stuck in casserole dish.  Blitzed 2 day old veggie soup up, added oxo, poured it over and stuffed in oven on low for 3/4 hours.  Mind you when I got home they had motivated themselves to organise the washing up, the frozen veggies and the chippy.chips Very nice it was too - never mind potatoes, broccoli, carrots, squash will go with tonight's sausages - won't they?
