Pork chops, mashed potato, carrots and brocolli with gravy.
Stewed apple and ice cream.

Corned beef pie carrots, cabbage and gravy.

Baked salmon, new potatoes, carrots and peas.

No strawberries today, but I've made individual orange jellies with mandarin segments in them. I think I'll decorate them with some broken up "99" flake and serve with cream or ice cream.

Pork,sweet potato mash and broccoli with apple sauce.

Fresh fruit salad for pud.
I’m fancying a trifle now gf!…I guess I’ll be making one for tomorrow !

[greenishfing]

Nicos, you are such a bad influence. I've got half a tin of mandarins left and I'm now thinking of mandarin and ginger trifles tomorrow.😋

[greenishfing]

Chicken and mushroom pie. I'm shortly going to bung some chicken thighs and mushrooms in the slow cooker with whatever bits of veg are loitering in the bottom of the fridge. Later today I'll use it as a pie filling and cover it with shortcrust pastry.

Followed by mandarin and ginger trifle (well it is Bank holiday)

The other half of yesterdays corned beef pie with mushy peas that I've just put in the slow cooker.

[Nicos]

Absolutely no idea!
Going for a grory hop so I’m sure something will jump out at me!

[Florence Fennel]

Roast Beef, potatoes, carrots, sprouts and YPs. Strawberries and cream. Well, like you say, it is a Bank Holiday!

[Nicos]

Cod and asparagus followed by the rest of the fresh fruit salad.
I bought a lemon tart for OH. Had to sit on my hands to prevent me putting a second one in my trolley!
Blinking diet eh?

[Nicos]

Nettle soup - after that, I’m not sure yet

Nettle soup - after that, I’m not sure yet

Does it sting???

[Nicos]

Does it sting???

Not at all!
Just have to be careful when picking the growing tips (top 3”)
Good wash then cook like you would spinach in a soup.
Wilts down to nothing but full of vitamins and minerals.

I’ve used chicken stock, onions, carrots , barley , nettle tips and various herbs and spices today.

Anything really. It’s good to use rice or potato instead of barley. Maybe celery too…whatever you fancy.
Lovely with crispy fried croutons and grated cheese and a big splodge of Greek yogurt!

[greenishfing]

I've made tomato and basil soup for tonight. We'll have a dish of grated parmesan and bread and butter with it.

Strawberries and cream.
