I had another bowlful of the soup Imade yesterday as I really couldn't find space for more than one portion in the freezer and I had already given half the potful to my friend. Also used some stored apples to make an apple pie - gave half of that to my friend too. She doesn't like cooking and always welcomes whatever I have to offer!

The venison steak is still in the fridge but is definitely on the menu for tomorrow.

yesterday I made a veg stir fry with the pak choy and chinese leaves  and onions from the allotment, the last of my peppers, some carrots and courgettes, just stir fried with some soy sauce. Was very yummy and a little spicy from the chinese leaves. We ate that with sausages :)
Then last night we have veg soup with one of the few butternuts that grew for me, combined with the first leeks from the allotment, carrot, potato. very tasty.
Tonight I am trying a recipe that I saw: pasta with swiss chard (picked a nice little bunch yesterday) and rocket: cook the pasta and boil the swiss chard. brown some onions and a heap of garlic and diced bacon and wilt the rocket into that. Add cooked chard to that and then add a little cream and the recipe said gorgonzola but i don't have any so it might be a little goat's cheese I think. Add the pasta, season well, combine and serve.

I've just had some lovely German vollkkornbrot with smoked salmon and diced dill cucumbers. Very tasty.

Tonight a winter veg stew - carrots, parsnips, celery, onion, swede, flageolet beans all with a touch of curry powder and a smidgeon of turmeric as well as parsley, rosemary and time. Might add some sage too then I can sing the Scarborough Fair song?!!:P

This will be the base for some grilled lemon sole and hopefully will provide lunch tomorrow too.

We had a lovely leek and chicken pie yesterday and fully intended to eat more of it today, however ... today was the day the old kitchen was removed. After 10 hours of air filled with early 20th century dust compounded by whatever chemicals were in the stuff they used to prime the walls for plastering tomorrow I was so pumped up with allergens that I had to get out of the house to breathe!

So quadretti al salmone , affogatto and a glass of montepulciano at our local Italian helped me to recover. Now enjoying a splash of Glenlivet in a glass of water and breathing a lot better!

Hm...do you really need kitchen after all? Sounds rather nice..'Italian' flushed down with a bit of 'Scottish'..

We are having some chestnut sausages and mash with splash of gravy accompanied with pile of buttery kale....yum..can't wait until dinner.

[manicscousers]

Had some of our tomatoes, consto something, yellow lemon and tigerella,still ripening on the windowsill, with some nice strong cheddar and granary bread, lovely

The great advantage about getting a new kitchen fitted is that you don't feel guilty about eating out. So on Friday we tried out an Indian/ Bangladeshi place we hadn't been to before. Sabzi pakore, ginger murgh, shatkora lamb with a bit of boiled basmati and a garlic and coriander naan. All very tasty and made us think we will go back!

Last night we slummed it on leftovers from the fridge (leek and chicken pie + smoked salmon butties) and tonight we are invited out!
