Bubble and Squeak
Another of my favourite meals from when I was small, this time made with leftover roast potatoes and curly kale. Served with leftover pork belly. It was tasty but teeny. Stephen is raiding the fridge as we speak.
Read More..>>Fried Egg with Bubble and Squeak
For breakfast this morning, Stephen had a fried egg with the leftover mashed potatoes and curly kale from last night. He fried the mashed potatoes, so they were a sort of bubble and squeak.

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, […]

For my recent birthday, one of the many, many presents that I received from Kerri was an egg coddler. I had never used one before and used it for the first time on my birthday. Now, a week later, I tried it again and added mushrooms, spinach and cheese to my egg. It was really […]

Kerri suggested fishcakes tonight and it was a good idea. She had made most of it when I got home and all that was left for me to do was to get my hands all gooey shaping them into cakes and putting them into the breadcrumbs. They contained salmon, potato and some spinach that we […]
Read More..>>Blurry Soup
Kitchen was steamy when Stephen took the picture 🙂 This was supposed to be leek and potato but tasted more like potato with a hint of leek. I wasn’t that keen on the texture of it either. It used up last week’s vegetable box leeks though so not all bad, and it warmed me up.

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 […]
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..>>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 […]
