Unfortunately, the cream I was going to use in the sauce had gone off, as had the mascarpone - both had been opened and left in the fridge - so I was left with a tub of crowdie and some grted cheddar. So the sauce wasn't as thick as I would have liked nor was it all that cheesey but the fish and the cauliflower mash were good.Lovely- real comfort food!
Brunch - lumpy soup. Beef bone broth with vegetable stock cube, lump of butter, remains of bag of salad leaves that wouldn't keep for another day, leek, courgette, mushrooms, half a red pepper, turmeric, cayenne, thinly sliced leftover pork sausage (butcher makes his own so very low rusk) small amount of lardons.
Supper will be roast lamb, cauliflower and cabbage.
B- dollop of h/m yoghurt with raspberries and seeds
L- Brie, olives, nuts, kale crisps. Then choc chia pud.
D- Slow roast belly pork ( followed @Goonergal ‘s method of wrapping a tinfoil ‘box’ around the meat part so it renders down almost like a confit. Cracking was fab. I poured a kettle of boiling water over the skin and dried before cooking. Even my dodgy teeth could cope. Veg included garlicky kale, broccoli, roast cauli and Edemame beans. Couple of glasses red and a bit of cheese afterwards. View attachment 54986
Toss them in olive oil then air fry, or grill. Add salt or parmesan, or dip into soft boiled eggswith them
Dipping in eggs sounds very good!Toss them in olive oil then air fry, or grill. Add salt or parmesan, or dip into soft boiled eggs

I like them wrapped in Parma Ham and griddled in butter with garlic.Dipping in eggs sounds very good!
No airfryer, and it's very unlikely I'll be motivated enough to build a fire in the grill and wait for it to turn to charcoal only to grill asparagus and a burger for myself, but I expect the oven will do the trick as well! Also no reason to not add parmesan AND dip into the boiled egg!
One of those posts needing multiple ratings.Friday 10 June bed 8.9 FBG 8.3. BGs higher than usual but I'm not too great. My right leg is acting up. I have pretty bad pins and needles. Usually it goes away but this isn't shifting. As most of you know, I have severe nerve damage due to a crash so, I'm used to these oddities. This is awful though. Walking is a nightmare. Thank goodness itvis just one leg.
B. TAG and 2 M&S crispy cheese crackers with whipped cheese.
L. A HC Gin truffle to take my mind off my leg!
D. A small piece of crustless quiche, 4 chicken wings, coronation chicken (needed eating), santini tomatoes, 1/2 avocado, mini mozzarella.
Pink gin with diet lemonade.
I forced myself to go shopping as eldest grandson is coming to stay tomorrow night.
@MrsA2 - he's doing fine. He's expected back at school tomorrow (Monday) complete with a cast ready for signing! @Antje77 condolences for your friend. I have to say every time you mention your neighbour in the garden, I can't help thinking about The Lady in the Van by Alan Bennett, although your neighbour is not cantankerous!
Saturday 11 June - bed 7.3 FBG 7.5. I ended up with both boys staying. Youngest was supposed to be going to the Safari Park (where they were the animals!) then a sleepover but it was cancelled. No mean feat with a dodgy leg!
B. TAG and 2 M&S crackers with coronation chicken.
L. Nothing
D. Another piece of crustless quiche, mortadella, ox tongue, wafer thin beef and ham. Mini mozzarella, santini tomatoes and 1/2 avocado.
I started reading a new book to the youngest but both ended up listening. It's called Tails. The story is told by animals and the first chapter is very funny told by a kitten who is adopted by his human family. Boys laughed out loud a few times (as did I).
And here's your 'useful' to complete the set!I like them wrapped in Parma Ham and griddled in butter with garlic.
Looks fab. I had roast belly pork for lunch in a pub today and while the meat was lovely and tender, there was no crackling in sight - top was all flobbolly! Still they did allow me to substitute the starchy veg and potatoes for pigs in blankets, which turned out to be 2 large, delicious and very meaty sausages with decent bacon. One of my friends benefited from the Yorkshire pudding!
