Hebridean hogget cold rolled shoulder, which was roasted with pineapple mmm :yum:   New pots from the garden  and as we haven't got any veg ready (weird - I blame the bad weather) I think I will curry-fy the meat.

Beef stew for the 5 carnivores, goodness knows what for the 2 veg-heads. Probably vegetable stew to which my 10 year old will say...what's the option for vegetarians who don't like veggie stew  :huff:

Go without?? ;D ;D

Pancakes.... as I can make the batter in advance (and it only takes 2 minutes), then have to take the girls to fiddle lesson for 6pm and OH has to do the milking...
How does anyone with milking aninals ever manage to have tea before 8.30pm?

Start the day at 3am?

No, honestly... I did relief milking on a farm once a few years back, where we started that early. Finished the day around 6pm. Not everybody's cup af tea - but I thought it was great; there was me driving to the farm at 2am on Saturday and Sunday mornings, when everybody else was just staggering home from the pub!

Anyway, tea tonight: Since it's been veg packing day today, I have the usual "dodgy" leftovers (not good enough for the boxes, but still fine to eat for me). Plenty of red peppers and courgettes today. So it's that in the pan with some onion, and a couple of eggs on top, with a sprinkling of cheese.

Home made meatballs and tomato sauce for me ;D
The way I love to have courgettes is to slice lengthways, as thinly as possible, dip in beaten egg, then in seasoned flour (chilli flakes as well if you like) then shallow fry in a very hot frying pan and eat right away yummm But not the healthiest way I guess :o

Yep- I've got a very large courgette to stuff!  ;D   Some might call it a marrow, but I like to be accurate  :yum:

We've just sent a load of saddlebacks off so its sausages for dinner tonight. With mashed desiree potatoes from the farm along with chard and the first pickings of runner beans - yum! Big fan of the desiree's as being bright pink they are easy to find as you dig the ground over!

I did OH some pasta with bacon pieces, peas and pesto.  I had my usual salad with smoked salmon trimmings.

And tonight it will be kohlrabi and carrots (we had a lot of kohlrabi left this week, too - fortunately one of my favourite veg; often cook it mixed with carrots and/or peas); plus some beetroot leaves, cooked with onion in butter - like spinach, and some poached eggs.

Didn't make the beef stew/veggie stew yesterday as I had a Class A tantrum after 4 children drove me to distraction so being the supermum I am (not) I handed them over to their Dad and he made them something with quorn in it I believe.
So I've got some casserole steak in the fridge, just deciding exactly what to do with it. It will probably involve Guinness though, one for me, one for the pot, one for me....
