Didn't quite manage to stick to last week's plan, my boyfriend ended up with 5 late shifts in a row from Thursday until today. Normally he gets one or two late shifts a week, but he's been working from 5pm until 1.30am all week and I've hardly seen him because since moving I'm now working office hours on campus and am not working at home much any more. I tried to stick to the plan but ended up eating leftover potato and onion curry with leftover lentils cooked in the leftover curry sauce from the Indian meatballs we had on Wednesday for tea both Thursday and Friday. Made my life easier as I didn't have to cook much. I made the tomato tart on Saturday and still have a piece left to eat tonight. I'll be writing up the tomato tart recipe soon but I have to make it again because I forgot to take any decent photos. Not exactly a hardship because it was delicious! As the sausages are still lurking in the freezer they will get used up this week along with plenty of salads. Now that summer is here I want to enjoy some refreshing salads and I also want to cook some recipes from
my book collection as well this week.
As always I've linked up with

Cumberland sausages with caramelised onions? Excuse me whilst I DROOL!
ReplyDeleteWill you be sharing the recipe for blue cheese pasta? *hopeful face*
Drooling excused! It's not really a proper recipe for the pasta. I'm just going to make a basic white sauce and then add enough stilton, black pepper and nutmeg until it tastes good. I don't know exact quantities for the sauce, it's usually 1 spoonful of butter, melted, 1 spoonful of flour stirred in to make a roux and then enough milk to make a thick sauce. I just make enough sauce until it looks like it will drown my pasta!
DeleteExcellent. Thank you!
DeleteSounds scrummy, look forward to seeing the pics of the tart! x
ReplyDeleteOh yummy, yummy. Made me smile the photo thing, how often do we make something to add on our blogs? Half the time here everyone is hungry and groan while I take photo's so most of the time end up not :-/
ReplyDeleteI love your meal plans :) They always sound so lovely. I especially like the sound of the hot dogs and caramelized onions!
ReplyDeleteThe tomato tart sounds really good. I eagerly await the recipe. I do love tomatoes. Shame my Mr does not.
ReplyDeleteShift work, especially ones where the shifts change at the last minute are such a pain. I can sympathise.
ReplyDeleteI'm now craving hot dogs and homemade coleslaw (heck any coleslaw - I'm the only one in the house that likes it and haven't had it for far too long!) Look forward to coming back and seeing the tomato tart recipe.
