Artjak- re the cheese sausages. If you google 'Glamorgan' sausages that should help with recipes etc, but Tesco do a frozen version which is absolutely fine when no time to make my own. They cook straight from the freezer too.
Yesterday daughter & me went to the Christmas markets in central Manchester, so lunch was a German cheese & pasta dish- name escapes me- in an edible dish! It was a bit like a dry cheese biscuit- the dish, not the food! Afters was warm strudle, plum for me & apple for daughter, with vanilla sauce/custard. That's why last night I only had beans on toast & a banana! Still realised had broken a bit of tooth though.
Today shall make a 'bottom of veg rack/fridge' soup for my lunch & it's fish & vegs for tonight, I think. Couple of pears 'poached' in the Remoska for pud. Planning to garden today as well, so meal plan may change. J.
Tea last night was a "dissssaster darling", as Craig would say. Bacon egg mushrooms tomato, croutons of bread rubbed with garlic and toast, how can you wreck that?? My timing went all to "h###" the tomato's and musgrooms slightly over cooked, the bacon not crisp enough, the first of the croutons burnt, the eggs split as I turned them. I served my son his, the best bits, I dropped my croutons on the way to the table and binned them, the toast had got cold by then and I did not enjoy what I served myself so some of that was binned. Son said he enjoyed the meal !!!!! as he finished off with cream cake. I had no stomach for more so did not touch cream cake until near nine with a cup of tea. Made the tea got cream cake out and dropped it cream splashed all over floor so that got binned, by the time I cleaned floor after walking in cream the tea was stewed so poured a very stiff whisky and drank that instead, I did sleep well though. Even cooks can spoil broth.
Never mind, start afresh today, I'm sure it was a one off.
I haven't got to cook tonight as we are going to a friends house for a birthday meal, I believe her husband is cooking a curry, mmm, nice change for me not to do the cooking.
Artjak - I planted autumn raspberry 'Polka' in the summer and did not expect any fruit. I do not get vast quantities, but about a handful - 10-12 at a time. I am surprised as anyone else especially as they are still producing a few.
Supposed to cut them down, I think, but really want to see how long they produce for.
jo4eyes, thank you for cheese sausages info; they sound delish.
Bjay, do you have to fight the birds for them? I grow 4 kinds of gooseberry and 1 blackcurrent, but always thought that raspberries were somehow tricky.
I have just posted to you once and did not get through
I chose autumn raspberries because i wasn't going to have any, but the idea of walking down the garden and picking them appealed to me. I also found out they don't need to grow up a structure so decided to give them a go. i have 3 plants and am very much a novice on fruit and veg
Knew my plans would change- had green pepper curry instead of fish. Another student days recipe from our original pressure cooker book. OH & me always loved it, even before we stopped eating meat.
As OH off work for next week he's emptied his fruit bowl & fridge- hmm, now what shopping do I need? J.
Ham hock chicken and leek pie hot (bought) and cold salad with a still warm Frangipane tart with cream for afters, making very sure it does not end up on the floor. I wiped Thursday from my diary.

Belly pork with a nice selection of steamed veg (not home grown) to follow a good 7 mile walk planned for this afternoon.

I wait and see what happens in the future
