We had fresh goose blood fried with onions and boiled potatoes. It was scrumptious.

Just made
2 cottage pies
2 sweet & sour chicken
2 bacon rolls.

That will keep us going & hopefully give me some "me" time over the next couple of weeks. chef2

Had the goose itself last night, stuffed with couscous, rosemary, chillies, shallots, apple and walnuts with braised red cabbage, celeriac puree and plain mash and a gravy from the slow cooked gizzard and neck bone.
As a starter we had Collo di Locio Ripieno - the goose neck stuffed with the heart and liver, minced pork tenderloin, parsley, breadcrumbs and a little grated pecorino.
Pavlova with the last of the autumn raspberries for pudding.

Last night was one of those using up bits of stuff kind of meals. 3 small potatoes, a leek, 1/4 of a cabbage, some frozen sweetcorn, a small piece of smoked haddock that was lurking in the back of the freezer, a dollop of creme freche and a sprinkling of smoked paprika made a lovely soupychowder concoction with enough left over for today Very Happy

Bacon roll today, I love it.

by Lakshmi 27th October 2011, 2:46 pm

the first slow cooked meal of the season: chickpeas, carrots, onions, spices, grated creamed coconut, served over boiled brown basmati.

Today... I made a tomatoey, bacony, cheesey, pasta bake thing. Loosely based on a recipe I found in a magazine, and with homegrown tomatoes. chef2

I thought it was too salty, from the bacon, so I couldn't really taste the tomatoey much, but everyone else seemed to like it. I might try again some time with beef mince rather than bacon chunks.

I have just cooked, and eaten, probably the best liver and bacon I have ever had. We have a superb butcher in the next town; real old-fashioned shop, with old fashioned service. The queue at Christmas time is always half way down the street.

So a melting piece of lamb's liver, still pink inside, free range, dry cured smoked back bacon, and homegrown veg. I still have the taste of it in my mouth as I type.

Rabbit and guanciale casseroled in pear cider with pumpkin chips for supper and Christmas pudding with clotted cream for pudding.
Fighting the cold and gloom from the inside.

Just having a big fat sausage sandwich made with home made bread, lots of real butter and the last 2 of Billy's sausages dribble

Just made 4 individual steak & kidney puds, have a pot of chicken bones cooking for stock & eaten a sweet & sour chicken casserole. Sausages in rolls for tea,

Oh yes also made a bread pudding with losts of remnants in so I have no idea what it will taste like, I don`t eat it myself but I am sure the OH will.

by mr_sfstk8d 16th November 2011, 7:35 pm

Those puddings with a bit of this and a bit of that are a treat! It's like a surprise in every bite!

Mother Hubbard's cupboard is rather bare here today. Need to do some cook ahead and re-stock the freezer. I'll be looking through posts here for inspirations. Steak & kidney puds sounds good!

by polgara 16th November 2011, 9:13 pm

Casserole are also good to cook & freeze in portions,as is cottage pie or lasagne or curry. I also do bacon rolls, so a mixed choice.

by Wilhelm Von Rhomboid 18th November 2011, 2:28 pm

Try Venison 'Chinese Pie'. It was a revelation.

Today made 2 cottage pies, & a cheese, onion & potatoe pie for tea, Yummmmmmmmmm

by Kristy lee 19th November 2011, 11:17 pm

although it's only morning i've checked out the tide times for the day.

So dinner tonight will be sausages and bacon on bread, cooked on the barbie at the beach so we can swim before and after.

by Dandelion 20th November 2011, 3:10 pm

That sounds wonderful KL!! Here in the UK it's damp and grey, with a heavy overcast sky, so it'll be oven roasted vegetables for tea - maybe I'll dig up some celeriac to go with the parsnips and things. And we'll have the stove on to cheer us up.

by polgara 22nd November 2011, 3:17 pm

For the first time ever, I am cooking rabbit stew. Doing it in the slow cooker using the stock I made the other day with chicken bones, so fingers crossed. whats on the menu - Page 18 887172

by polgara 24th November 2011, 6:32 pm

Stew was OK, but both OH & decided we did not want rabbit again.

Today did a casserole with stewing steak & a tin of condensed mushroom soup, it has a great flavour.

by polgara 29th November 2011, 11:33 am

Found 2 handmade steak & kidney puds in the freezer, so that is dinner sorted.

Think sardines on toast for lunch.

by Kristy lee 29th November 2011, 12:02 pm

tonight i went out with some mums and my daughters teachers for a lovely Thai dinner.

was so great seeing the last 4 night we've had cold meats and salads either as a picnic in the yard or picnic at the park cos the weather is just far too humid to cook anything

by Adrian 30th November 2011, 12:13 am

Roasted butternut squash curry and quinoa tonight with homemade mango chutney

by mr_sfstk8d 30th November 2011, 2:32 am

Made Wonton Soup for supper. Not from scratch, but frozen made ones. Wanted to see if I'd get the hang of the soup before making up a whole batch of wontons. Seems once I get started, I wind up with six gross before it's all said and done, lol. Love dumplings.

Anyway, the finished product was quite good. Can't wait to try it with my own dumplings next time!

by Dandelion 30th November 2011, 4:27 pm

It's omelette night as all the hens are laying fairly regularly now!!

by flute 30th November 2011, 5:09 pm

Apart from cheesey tomatoey toasties (homegrown tomatoes) for lunch, I cooked a cheese, onion, bacon, and potato pie for everyone for dinner. It's just in the oven cooking now. whats on the menu - Page 18 887172

I just took the lid off and turned up the oven and if I do say so myself, it smells quite tasty!
