I'm going to roast a chicken in the air fryer. I hope it's as good as the last one was.

We'll have it with garlic bread, morrocan couscous and salad with lots of tomato and olives.

Leftover raspberry milk jelly with raspberries in it.

The fishmonger's counter looked good this morning. So there's a bit of a fish bonanza coming up for the next couple of days.

Tonight: fresh sardines and salad. Cherries for afters.

Chinese throw out.

Trying to make more space in the freezer….

So a couple of veggie curries and cauliflower rice and bread and butter pudding for pud.

We had the roast chicken last night with the Moroccan couscous and garlic bread, but we ended having ratatouille instead of salad.

Tonight we'll have more of the chicken but with mixed salad with homemade mayonnaise, and probably more garlic bread or maybe chips......oh, and as an afterthought, maybe a few beer battered onion rings.

Last of the raspberry milk jelly.

I'll also stick the chicken carcass in the slow cooker to make stock, probably to add to my next risotto.

Mackerel with salad tonight. Cherries for afters, again.

At the moment I am debating between scallop risotto or a quiche of some kind.

I think risotto will win as the oven won't be needed and I'll only need one ring on low.

I'm thinking a mini trifle for pudding...... cherry or raspberry. I just find it so hard to make a "little" trifle. I think I'll try making it in the smallest size Crimbo pud basin.

Yesterday a veggie cottage pie with cabbage.

Tortellini Minestrone soup this evening with a lunchtime four-egg courgette/mushroom tortilla after reading about Snoops.

a lunchtime four-egg courgette/mushroom tortilla after reading about Snoops.

i never add onion to potato tortilla, Bren, but I do to courgette ones. You don't need much, just enough to add a bit of sweetness to the courgette. Another favourite of mine is a spinach tortilla, no onion but a generous amount of garlic.

For us tonight, the last of the fish bonanza: rosefish fillets en papillote with assorted veg, broccoli and green beans on the side. More cherries for afters.

I made Coronation chicken earlier today, except I don't like chicken so it's Coronation turkey. Enough to be able to freeze a couple of portions. The sauce may separate as it has mayo in, but a good stir after defrosting will sort that. The recipe calls for fromage frais, but js and asda had none so I used ricotta instead. Still tastes good. Seems the supermarkets are giving a lot of shelf space to keffir products now, and fromage frais has lost out.

Dessert will be a jelly I made with the last inch of a jar of H/M mixed fruit jam melted into apple juice and set with gelatine.

Complete change of menu.

While I was out having a blood test I called in at the little Sainsbury's Local and picked up a punnet of strawberries on offer so no trifle.

I've also now decided on cheese and "leftover bits" omelette, (grory hop due tomorrow), patatas bravas, and salad.

Home made chicken and ham pie with chips, strawberries after.
