Being Cooked Today

A creamy Fish Pie. Cod. Only. Tried to tempt mum with the hard boiled egg extra but she declined. Cod looks good, firm fleshed and pure white. Parsley from the pot outside to give extra flavour and a bit o' colour. Also a smidgen of nutmeg in the sauce. Mashed potato with butter will be the naughty roof.
and, for pud...Chocolate puddings
Two small pert ones for Mr H and me. Mum blobbing again with her pointless sugar free raspberry jelly.

Talking of jellies...made earlier...a fruit cocktail orange jelly. Simply drain a large can of F.C. make up the jelly in the usual way but dispense with some of the water using instead the juice from the can.
Then tip the fruit into a glass dish and after pinching one or two bits of grape pour over the jelly. Don't add pineapple or kiwi to any jelly if you do it won't set.

Another delightful day weatherwise. Sun shining down upon the pavements and a cool breeze gently sweeping roundabout the houses.
Been sighing as I turn the pages of my newest cook book (Mary Berry) even the District Nurse was impressed, herself too a keen chefette.
By the way mums scalded foot almost new again...
Scab fell off, probably in the carpet somewhere.

Now tea, oatcakes and horror film:)
