Yesterday we had roast chicken and all the trimmings. Son was home for meal. Today salmon with kurly kale. Cut off the crown of a plant today as seem to be past best. Got covered in white fly, Am going to grow tagetes next year they are supposed to work. For afters OH and dog will have cheese, I'll have the rest of the melon nedley started yesterday - special offer in Morrisons!
For pud, didn't do baked apples; used last years frozen pears (found a way of freezing them raw - peel and core and rub with sugar and lemon juice, bag and freeze) with a custard of 250g. of ricotta, 1 egg, whisked with 1 tbs golden Castor sug & tiny slurp of vanilla essence, pour onto pears and bake for 25 mins. More successful than you would think.
artjak- re the Remoska. Yes pricey- one of OH's 'wants' but I do use it more than I realised. If you know that your worktop space is limited, then I suspect it's not worth it. IME any gadget that lives in/on top of a cupboard rarely gets used!
Having an electric oven, & with the increasing cost of electricity, the Remoska uses so little in comparison that I'm definitely experimenting with it more & more.
Liked the pear recipe too- I do something similar in the Remoska!
Tonights' meal- Monday, so macaroni cheese over cauli- soo predictable but makes life very easy. I used to work regular Mondays so needed to cook on auto pilot. J.
Fried lardons of unsmoked bacon with some garlic, added shredded Ruby Chard leaves, and some lemon zest and chipped red chilli and a splash of water and served with spaghetti and parmesan
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
A sandwich and packet of crisps in the forecourt of a garage whilst a very nice man from the AA fixed the car. The service was excellent, I was still talking to the person on the phone from the AA, who was telling me it will be 40 to 50 mins before anyone gets to you, when the mechanic arrived

Sounds great Artjak. if i get pears off my tree next year I'll know what to do. Will write down your recipe if that's OK
Am v. flattered

Sunday's leftovers
Haven't the foggiest. Will have to see what's lurking in the freezer.
Artjak, I like the sound of your pear thing - I used to do a starter with pears & soft cheese but have never thought to bake them.
The original recipe was for peaches, but I don't like buying madly out of season stuff.
