Boiled eggs and soldiers on the go here. Mmmmmm Thank you so much Milly. I knew I wanted something to eat this morning but didn't know what. Your suggestion was just perfect so I had boiled egg with soldiers. It was lovely. First boiled egg for ages. Just putting on now gammon joint to gently cook with celery, leek and onion. Chucked in peppercorns and 3 juniper berries. To be served with buttery mash and leeks. NOM Tomorrow cold with jacket potato, home made potato salad (heavy on the onion, garnished with hard boiled egg) and a goodly quantity of English mustard I expect. Monday chopped into a spaghetti carbonara enriched with creme fraiche. |

Got home rather late from the cricket today so I've done a quick meal of simmered Charlottes (they take 20 mins so not that quick!), covered in "light" mayo/chilli powder plus an undressed crunchy salad.

Sounds like a fine combo to me, hh. Enjoy every morsel and sip. You deserve them.

Enjoy, hh. Ok. 20 mins into its allotted oventime is a whole shoulder of Welsh lamb, which I drove a mile or two this morning to procure from a noted butcher hereabouts. It's going to be the last big meal of my sodden western sojourn, so it will be a doozey. I personally supervised the dismembering and watched the guy in awe. It is HUGE. It is, as of 5 mins ago, glistening with fat, garlic and rosemary. Roast pots and cabbage with caramelised red onion, plus some lentil icky goo will nuzzle against the lamb on the plate. Wine will be glugged. I may not be alive by tomorrow, so it's been very nice indeed knowing you all; I will go down with a smile on my face. Nom, comrades.  |

That sounds absolutely delicious, martle. Pizza here and I'm afraid it was not homemade. However, once I'm in my new kitchen next week...

Stop it, martle! You're making me terribly jealous.
I've got a (cheat's) Thai red chicken curry on the stove, in large quantities. 'Cheat's' because the curry paste is out of a jar. Basically it was going to be chicken stew but I decided I didn't fancy chicken stew after all, so got out a jar of curry paste and some coconut milk...
And to drink - apple and raspberry juice. As I have lately been drinking a ridiculous quantity of alcohol on a nightly basis, today I am being determindedly teetotal.

It's going to have to be a ready meal chez hh. I just cannot be bothered to make the risotto that I was planning.
I can't really be bothered to get out of bed and go to the shops to get a ready meal but I suspect that hunger will get the better of apathy.

Can't make the planned carbonara with last of the gammon, as no eggs and no creme fraiche in stock and I am not going out in this gale and lashing rain and getting soaked for the third time in one day. So some cold slices of it, home made potato salad, baby spinach leaves and some tomatoes. Trouble is, it's so cold and horrible here I would prefer a hot meal  |

Hmm. This brings us to the tricky question of egg etiquette. Do you slice the top or bash? Life is full of such dilemmas. I'm sure that Mr Grew would provide the correct answer in a trice, were he to pass by here. |
