Kimchi from Waitrose and it’s delicious I missed apple too. Those m and s crackers are my stress go to too!
I added so many other stuff to my leftovers that the result suspicially resembles a pasta sauce heavy on the veggies.And on topic: Today will be the same as yesterday, oven baked marinated asparagus and broccoli with an aubergine and yoghurt sauce. Today without the shrimp, they didn't really add much to the dish (except protein, but I'll likely make up for that with some midnight pork scratchings anyway.)
Enough of the vegetables are currently in the oven to have lots of leftovers, I'll do something with them and minced meat and perhaps tinned tomatoes tomorrow.

Tasty all the same, and the aubergine and yoghurt dip went surprisingly well with it!
Lots left too, so any good ideas on using a pasta sauce (except just eating it, which is definitely an option) are welcome!
We have all kinds of sausages so that shouldn't be a problem (and if my sausages are different from yours I have no way of knowing anyway, the important part is that it tastes good!).
A tip I was told about keeping and eating your own animals, is not to let your kids or yourself give them names.
I had a workmate who sometimes took this a step further - it wasn't so much the animal itself but the piece of it that was to be eaten, so an anonymous piece of pork was perfectly edible but if this was then personalised as a nice piece of Percy Porker it was a definite no go. It occasionally resulted in a(n un)fair bit of teasing.
Saturday 28 May - bed 6 4 FBG 6 2 - Signs of normality returning hopefully. I did end up going out as son had a electrical socket burn out and needed an extension lead and fuses until he could get the electrician in. Not out too long and only had the barriers/portaloos and hard working stewards setting up to negotiate.
B. TAG and 2 slices of SLC toast with egg mayo
L. M&S Pancetta crisps
D. 3 small M&S chicken flatties (garlic and herb) with i/2 a mixed santini salad. Raspberries, strawberries and clotted cream.
1 HC gin truffle.
Today - Sunday 28 May bed 7.7 FBG 6 7
Marathon Day and the DJs started early. Good cloudy day for the runners.
B. TAG and 2 slices of SLC bread with prawns and guacamole (prawns needed using)
L. M&S Chorizo crisps
D. Usual campari and soda - sous vide duck with 1 small new potato, green veg medley mix. I ate about half the veg. A bit too much with the duck.
@DJC3 I still have about 2 portions (my size) of the 100% egg. Not surprising with my addiction to HC Gin truffles!View attachment 54737
We have all kinds of sausages so that shouldn't be a problem (and if my sausages are different from yours I have no way of knowing anyway, the important part is that it tastes good!).
But the reason there is so much veggies in the dish is to balance out the minced meat I added. While I love meat, I struggle with it because I love the providers of the meat too. So I tend to muddle along reducing the amount I eat, but not always because I love meat too, if that makes sense.
So this particular dish doesn't really need more meat, unless I google for 'sausage casserole' tomorrow and really want it!
A tip I was told about keeping and eating your own animals, is not to let your kids or yourself give them names.
Pigs are all called pig pig.
Goats, sheep were all girls.
Chickens were all chook chooks.
Cattle were know by their ear tag number.
You name them, and your kids get teary eyed at mealtimes and probably refuse to eat any meat.
The chicken legs we ate yesterday were from a property that sold meat chooks, just to keep the thred on topic before @EllieM wacks us with a wahaika.
I'm very happy to eat my neighbour's animals, like the turkeys and chickens living in my garden, and the sheep walking next to my house, names and all. They've had a much better and longer life life than almost all bought meat.
That's what I was thinking too!
Mmm talking of cream you could do a moussaka with a fluffy,crispy round the edges,topping. Once assembled moussaka whisk one egg with a good glug or two of cream season with pepper and salt and mix in some grated cheese to taste then put in oven to give you a delicious low carb topping turn heat up at end when cooked through to crisp it up. Well we wouldn’t like you not to use your cream !I'm very happy to eat my neighbour's animals, like the turkeys and chickens living in my garden, and the sheep walking next to my house, names and all.

Although I do have an aubergine laying about so I could turn it into a moussaka if I want to. I also bought a pot of cream to either turn it into a creamy tomato soup by the third day, or in case someone here would mention some yummy idea involving cream, which tends to happen a lot on this thread. Better safe than sorry, I won't have a car for the next couple of days so I thought I'd better buy the cream just in case!
