I had sausage and veggies X two for dinner and tea and St Augur on oatcakes for a treat.

Son (and dog) coming for tea. Son heads off on a camping trip tomorrow with girlfriend and another couple. So we have fur-face staying with us for the next fortnight.
So I'm cooking a full chook, with veg packed around it in my big cast iron pot. I shall need my truss to remove it from the stove.
A slurp of gravy to serve.

Get David to lift it out for you...... I love veggies when they have been cooked like that..... You've given me an idea for Sunday's cook in!
I had the last of the sausage and veggies for dinner and tea and St Augur on oatcakes for a top up with an apple for pudding. Butcher's day today...... I think a small chicken is on the list!

It was delicious Stanley...Potatoes, Carrot, quartered onion, pumpkin, Broccoli, Sprouts and the Chicken ( with Gravy). We all filled our boots. I heated the cast iron pot for 10 mins before adding the food, and put an inch of Chicken Stock in to heat. Then had it on a low setting for over 2 hours ( closer to two and a half as we got chatting and left it), turning the Chicken half way through. It just fell off the bone.
Easy Peasy cooking.

I got the chicken, I'll roast mine because I like the veggies roasted....
Cooked some broth bits.... Steak pudding and peas for dinner. Cornish Pasty and veggies for tea with a cream trifle Kath slipped in my shopping.

Mine had to be done on stove top. Still without an oven at this point. I am getting quite inventive with what is available to me though. (My problem being hubby's heavy workload and time free to go and choose kitchen appliances. It will happen, we just have to be patient.)

Ah! I forgot Maz.....
I had Scotch egg and veggies for dinner and meat pie and veggies for tea.Apple pie for afters!

I had a real hankering for Lasagne....so I made one...and have put it in a foil container. I can cook it later in the toaster oven that we take in the van.

You're being very adaptable Maz!
I had Scotch egg and peas with some of the stuffing I made with the gravy from the chicken. At teatime I had a cold pork pie and nibbles, not very hungry.... Plenty of veggies cooked and a roast chicken in the fridge. I pushed an onion up the chicken's bum, why is that so satisfying? Is it just me?

I tried it with one of my chickens and it ran around squawking. It must be just you if find it satisfying.

Easy to make lasagne in the microwave. I've never done it any other way.

I had straight veggies X two for dinner and tea. The roast chicken is in the fridge ready for attacking!

Meanwhile my chicken has laid the strangest egg ...

I'm glad your chickens are still alive, China. (She who must be coming home soon will be pleased about that).

I am in a mood for Chicken Curry tonight.
Son's dog likes to lie in strategic places in the kitchen, such as against the fridge door or directly below the food prep area. She likes to be the first to know if food is being prepared. (You can't sneak anything from the pantry or fridge without that dog knowing. It is easier to deny yourself food than attempt to outwit her)

Jack just watches me 24X7!
I do very well avoiding bread these days but every now and again I treat meself.... I had two oven bottoms with stuffing and chicken meat X two yesterday for dinner and tea. Really enjoyed them.....

Had the legs and wings of the chicken for dinner and the rest of the meat on two oven bottoms with stuffing for tea. I grilled 4 sausage and popped them in the slow cooker with the last of the veggies, that'll see me through the day!

The sausage and veggies were good and that took care of dinner and tea. I had 6 small oatcakes with vintage cheddar for afters. Butcher's day today and I have some spuds that need using up, I bought too many last week!

Steak pudding and mushy peas for dinner. I mentioned yesterday the potato glut so I peeled three small ones, cut them into wedges, parboiled them and then deep fried them in the new dripping. They were lovely with salt and vinegar.....

3 are still alive, the scraggy one died a few weeks ago and was buried not eaten.
She who must be obeyed gets back next Saturday, I can see an end to the spam sandwiches.

I had a cold Cornish Pasty for dinner and treated myself st teatime. I had a lovely rib steak fried in butter with chips (parboiled before frying) and two fried eggs. Lovely grub!
Better than Spam sandwiches China.........

I fried bacon with cabbage and that together with the veggies, cabbage, broccoli and carrots and that together with some of the veggie water has filled the slow cooker. I had a pork pie and some of the bacon and veggie mixture for dinner and the same for tea with some parboiled chunky chips in the new dripping. No afters needed....

Small bowl of straight veggies and bacon for dinner. For tea I added some chunky parboiled chips and a pork and apple burger deep fried with them. Only two spuds left.......

Same as yesterday, the last of the spuds at teatime. No afters apart from some peanuts and an apple. I have extended the rest of the veggies and cabbage with baked beans and frozen peas. I shall grill six sausages to give it some protein.

The extended veggies for dinner and tea, it worked out well, very tasty! Nuts and an apple for afters.....

Crumbed Chicken Breast with curried Rice and Veg. Very nice.
