Banger and Mash-and-Carrots-and-Kale
Bonfire night. Have to have bangers and mash according to Kerri. I heartily endorse this idea. So before a delay-ridden and noisy teenager-ridden bus trip to Alexandra Palace to watch fireworks, we tucked into this meal. The sausages were sage and onion (and pork, obviously) from the Kerri Pig. They were fairly coarse in texture, […]
Read More..>>Cheese on Toast. And Meatballs.
We both had relatively large lunches today, so decided to settle for cheese on toast for dinner. We also had some meatballs left over from last night, so decided to use those up. I piled my meatballs on top of my cheese on toast to create a sort of impromptu meatball pizza. Kerri was less […]
Read More..>>Meatballs!
Another fine dinner suggested and started by Kerri. When I got home from a gruelling session of drinking free booze and buying discounted clothing, all I needed to do (again) was get my hands all gooey making meatballs out of a “wild beef” mince, onion, breadcrumbs and herb mixture. These meatballs went into a deliciously […]
Read More..>>Chicken and Cabbage
Did I mention that we got a cabbage in our vegetable box again this week? For the fourth week in a row. I used to like cabbage. Maybe I’ll like it again one day but, at the moment, it’s up there with spinach as of my least favourite vegetables (I used to like spinach too […]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/6101430.stm But also National Vegan Week, what a strange coincidence. I know which one Stephen and I will be supporting though. Bang* goes the diet 🙂 *bang, like banger, geddit?
Read More..>>Chorizo and Cabbage
Stephen was given a huge (and really tasty) chorizo for his birthday and we were given a huge cabbage (again) by the vegetable box people so, in an effort to use up the cabbage, and just because we wanted to eat chorizo, we came up with the delight you see before you. Chorizo, fried with […]
Read More..>>Beef Casserole
We cooked this as a wintery comfort-food dish and it worked out well. We cooked it in advance and ate it this evening after getting home from a rainy shopping, tube and bus experience. It was just the ticket. While cooking it I thought that there was too much tomato in it, it has gone […]
Read More..>>Art Deco Lamb Cutlets
It wasn’t quite my intention to create a strange-looking design on the plate, but after a gruelling trip to IKEA (my first in fact), it somehow seemed like the right thing to do. Trimmed lamb cutlets with some steamed new potatoes and green beans. I added loads of butter to the potatoes and beans after […]
Read More..>>Steak and Roasted Vegetables
After a week of healthy eating, I felt like a treat but not something so bad it would undo all my hard work. While eating the stuffed aubergine yesterday, we commented that it would go well with steak….we must have still had steak on our minds today because when we realised we didn’t have anything […]
Read More..>>Partridge and Chicken. Separately.
For the first time in months, we ate different dinners. Kerri had chicken breast and salad because she was being healthy. I had partridge and gem squash because I was being greedy. Mmmm… partridge and bacon… mmmmmm…. gem squash and butter…. a good opportuniy to use up some vegetable box ingredients.
