    What's your old habit dinner for tomorrow Mam? Heating pumping away here the last few hours and still chilly.

    The only place I am warm is abed with at least two big cats. I cannot afford heating in April. Actually I have never run electric heating here. Just the stove.

    Ah the oul cooking the meat on a Saturday night job and the peeled spuds in the pot. I well remember the pressure cooker going on a Saturday night with a ham in it. No posh dinner here tomorrow. Did it for the girls today. Tomorrow are simply dirty burgers.:D

    I cheat! Shamelessly! Supervalu who deliver all my supplies, with the help of the island ferry ( Bless them all! ) do excellent ready meals for E4 so I treat myself to one for Sunday dinner... Tomorrow is Irish roast beef dinner; the cats get the meat..... and I so enjoy something I have not cooked.

    Cooking the meat , and the carrot/parsnip mash , so just the potatoes tomorrow for mash and roasting to put on G . That's the way it always was on a Saturday when we were growing up :)

    carrots and parsnips are my favourite veg!
    mashed or roasted, love them:D
    I used to bring parsnips over to the Balkans with me when i was living there, cos they dont grow them or eat them there at all. But I converted a few locals to the parsnip, one of the local girls brought them home to her dad, now he is growing them!!

    Roasted beetroot is actually lovely too , not the flavour you'd be expecting from them imo :)

    I'm not big into parsnips, roasted or boiled with salt is adventurous enough for me!
    There was a nice recipe a few months ago in another thread which has become a staple of mine for the work lunchbox lately..
    Mixed leaves, orange slices, chopped beetroot, goat's cheese/brie, walnuts.
    I actually use the low fat cheese for salad that's Tesco's own brand instead of goat's cheese.
    I add croutons too sometimes.

    I understand that bubbly. It's been my experience too. Like all loss It's something you grieve and come to terms with in your own way. Life can change so quick and good things can appear :)

    It is coming up to 6 am here too; where are you that we coincide?

    Interesting! I thought we were hours apart.

    Bitter, shockingly cold. Even the cats have changed their ways. They all come in at night and gather atop me abed.

    GOTCHA! lol... I thought it was me as I am hopeless at these things as many have seen on clock change weekends! Like the Sunday I was to attend a Craft Fair in Killarney and went out early to get to Mass in the Cathedral first.. How odd; so few folk at 8 o'clock mass and clearly it was cancelled.. Then to Tesco and then I saw a clock and pointed out at the checkout that their clock was wrong... lol...

    Just back from Iceland with some goodies. Bought some of their TGI Fridays range. While I have a stash of chicken wings, their's look great. I'm on a buzz of trying to recreate fave eat out and takeaway meals. Last night I made bacon and cheese fries. Jaysus lads they were magnificent. So magnificent that I'm repeating it tonight. They put the Burger King effort to shame and are better than the empty your pockets version.

    Chips. Bacon lardons. Grated chedder/mozzarella.

    Fry bacon lardons. Make chips. Melt the grated cheese in the microwave. Pour lardons on the chips and then pour the melted cheese on top. A big portion or small portion.
