Leftover chicken and vegetable crumble
Delicious, creamy and flavoursome. You could make any tasty mix and pop a crumble over it, and in the process, either stretch out a few shreds of meat, or use up some assorted vegetables and beans.
A skip of rubble
Oops, thought I had posted this last night! We’ve got a skip outside at the moment, and today we have been busy tipping stuff into it. From early this morning DP and myself have been shovelling spoil from the foundations etc into a wheelbarrow and pushing it round the...
M&S free foodie goodies and Quidco
Had to go to Tunbridge Wells today and ended up walking from one end of the town to the other, had sore feet by the end. I use an M&S credit card for absolutely everything, to collect the points, making sure I pay it off in full every month. Then every now and...
Spring green breakfast pancakes and really good tortillas
Couple of successful experiments today. First up were these bubble and squeak pancakes this morning. I had made a curry a few days previously, including a side dish of some spring greens swooshed up with a few spices, tomato, garlic and ginger. They were lovely by the...
Robin Bobbin moves out, DAC and tortilla
Well, we are robin-less! Yesterday, they were there in the morning, busily flying to and fro, to and fro, to and fro. In the afternoon, I mentioned that I hadn’t seen them for an hour or so, and DP said, no, he hadn’t either. And that was it. They cleared off without...
A mountainous larder, raspberries, pasta and crispy fish burger
Yet another pancake variation this morning. After the WI lunch yesterday, I had some raspberries left over. So this morning, I used self raising flour as usual, but instead of water, I used raspberries. They had been frozen, so were very juicy, and I had added a good...
Robin chicks, Resolutions lunch and Basics cheese spread (1)
Well we definitely have robin chicks. When both birds were out collecting food, I had a quick peep at the nest and what did I see but a little head and beak peeking over the edge. Very excited I rushed to get the picture taking equipment, and by the time I had got...
A WI lunch and some Basics finds, what to do with them?
Am pretty tired right now. It is the annual Resolutions lunch at the WI tomorrow. It can be one of the duller meetings, so we provide a lunch to lure members into attending. The ploy works well 😉 So I have spent today shopping for and cooking 36 portions of...
Mealy worms, double crumbles and cooked radish
Have been sat at my desk a lot lately, and just couldn’t face more pc time to do any posts. Been stuck there again today and have been taking breaks to do things like the ironing! Comes to something when the ironing is a break! Still, was determined to get some...
Breakfast Bhajis 31p, abortive plans and huge panes of glass
Don’t like sweet things much? How about these spinach and onion bahjis
Bank Holiday weather, Finance Packages and Mr & Mrs Robin Bobbin
Well what a lovely Bank Holiday that was. Nice, sunny, warm day. Pity we don’t have anywhere to sit outside yet. What will be our sit ooterie is currently covered in rubble and building supplies. We went out to our favourite Indian on Saturday evening with DD1 and...
Novel uses for radishes
I was cruising around the internet last night looking for ways to use radishes, as the box I grew in the greenhouse is now stuffed full of the most perfect specimens. Not a slug bite out of any of them, lovely size, nice and peppery. Gorgeous, the best ones I have...
