Rosemary, mustard and cayenne scones, 12 for 53p
Was intending to make plain scones today, but ended up adding rosemary and cayenne, plus some oats. It worked very well. They had a lovely flavour from the rosemary, and a bit of a kick from the cayenne. The oats gave them quite a different texture, more short than usual. Nice tho
Aldi Bargains (3) Feta Stuffed Peppers 64p
Stuffed peppers for tea this evening using two of the Aldi peppers. The feta has been in the fridge and had a best before date of October 2013. But because it was sealed in the packet, it is fine. Now I have opened it, I will have to use it up quite quickly. For 2,...
Aldi Bargains (2) Mushroom Stroganoff, 70p
Went to a pub, the Bottle House, very close to where I used to live yesterday for a 60th Birthday Celebration for one of my brothers. It was a lovely family ‘do’. I had started the day with a migraine that was probably kicked off by a late night on the Saturday. The...
Fruit Trees, Date & Apple Muffins and Sugar Paste Flowers
Nipped down to Eastbourne this morning to see DD1. Took down a couple of big pots to add to the three already there, and some compost, and we potted up the 5 little fruit trees that were her Christmas present. The plum is already covered in blossom and she should have...
Asparagus and Pea Risotto, £1.06 a portion, or frugalised to 75p
Did a lovely risotto yesterday using some asparagus Mike brought home. Used up the last of the Arborio rice, so next time I do one, I’ll try the value rice and form an opinion on using it. Also this time, I used 2 tblsps of lemon juice from a bottle rather than a...
Heart & Soul and lots of meat
This is part of an experiment I did a while ago and definitely one for the carnivores. Veggies, look away now. I went to one of the two excellent local butchers and ordered some ox cheeks and heart. Goodness, just dug out the receipt and it was 25th September 2013,...
Pancakes, with lemon and sugar, the classic, and SUPER cheap!
I couldn’t tell the difference between my usual ones, made with eggs and milk, and these. Costwise, these could be doable, where egg and milk ones weren’t. Pancakes with lemon and sugar – or there are lots of other lovely ways to enjoy them
Semi Freddo Red Berry Yogort, 26p a generous portion
Whizz the still very frozen fruit with the yogort until amalgamated. On tasting it was just a bit too sharp, so I added a couple of tblsps of sugar.
Fritters, Soup, Gloves and Karen Millen
I made some lovely fritters for dinner yesterday. I grated the last of the carrots, small and wrinkly, fine chopped onion, fine chopped white cabbage and a grated parsnip that was going a bit soft. I would normally grate some potato and add that too, but as we would...
Spaghetti Bolognese made with an Italian recipe, just 41p
Had one of those pricing surprises I talk about today. I made a Spaghetti Bolognese using a recipe, not one of those mince splodge things I do, when I add all kinds of things to stretch the mix. I used the recipe from a book called Silver Spoon, which is the...
Liver and Onions, mash, carrots and peas, 66p a serving
Liver and Onions, mash, carrots and peas – a budget main meal
