Tuesday Afternoon ...

Another busy time. I’ve been doing some marking (just to keep my hand in) and there’s a lot of other stuff going on in our lives: some good, some less so. We’re surviving well, however. Weather’s varied from quite cold (early morning frosts and mid-day highs of 6C) to wet and warm (ish) around 12C.

In terms of food, I’ve been less well-motivated so there’s more convenience food than usual.

During the week (and a bit) we ate:

Monday 5^th

Turkey & Peaches (I’ve spoken of this before: it’s quick and tasty) then we played with sparklers in the dark garden – it was Bonfire Night, after all!

Tuesday 6^th

Fishcakes, chips, peas (Tesco’s best; they were OK).

Wednesday 7^th

A pork and sausage terrine I’d made earlier, Chicken & mushrooms.

Thursday 8^th

Special Foo Yung (Chinese takeaway)

Friday 9^th

Savoury Mince with pasta

Saturday 10^th

We went to the Dilshad in Selly oak

Special Biryani

Chicken Passanda

Naan

Sunday 11^th

This was undoubtedly the best meal of the week.

Pork and Sausage Terrine with roast beetroot, pea-shoot salad, crostini (nearly burnt the house down with the crostini. But that’s another story).

Duck breast with savoy cabbage (lardons, carrot, cream) and sauté new potatoes with a red wine sauce.

Monday 12^th

Much of the day spent waiting at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital so:

Fish & Chips

Roe & Chips (From the chip shop)
