Last night by co-incidence only we had bbq ribs with noodles and stir fry.

Tonight it will be chicken, mushroom and leek pie, I hope, if the pastry ever defrosts .

I've never been a fan of cheesecake but I do like the Red Velvet one that President's Choice does.

That may now be in the past because I bought a nice looking Dr Oetker Wildberry cheesecake and it's magnificent.

Tea in a microwave? New research says it could be the perfect cuppa

Chinese scientists reckon they have found the way to make a proper brew without a kettle. Heresy or scientific fact?

Last night I fried croutons in garlic butter with a pinch of Italian herbs, but had no Romaine so used baby spinach and field greens, Caesar dressing, parmesan, and the pile of bacon bits I'd lovingly rendered down but forgotten to put in the chowder. I'll want to put bacon in every salad now, it was great!
Tonight probably a smaller version sans bacon and the wings that have been marinating all day.

Turkey roast dinner. I bagged a turkey on special so that is 3 to 4 nights sorted.

Then MrBEV'S ex apprentice came over to talk hunting and stuff as they are going off for a jaunt over a few days now the old bot is retired , so brought with him some venison & goat he bagged last time.

Can I just say that I am very pleased . They may be pig hunting too so all good.

Curly kale, beetroot leaves, green beans, carrots, zucchini, cherry tomatoes -- everything grown in the garden by my own fair hands.. served with a trout fillet and a little couscous.. lots of garlic and a little chilli jam. :D

I usually just buy the PC tray packs at No Frills when they're on sale, and usually hot Italian.
Tonight I have chicken wings in the oven, ready to turn in about 5 min.
And sonofabitch I'm on the cider again!

I get a bit bored with the lack of sausage choice around here. Superstore used to do a few other than cheese, Italian, honey and garlic and the odd wurst but not anymore. Not even what they called British style bangers (which weren't but at least they were different).

Sobeys does a good Spanish one but I recently discovered the delights of IGA (sorry Millie :o) and they have a brand - La Fernandiere - which makes some really nice German and Spanish sausages. They are my go to sausage currently.
