Oh Baby






                                                Braised bacon, jacket potatoes, steamed greens, carrots and apple wedges braised with bacon. I served this with some redcurrant jelly and a Merlot spritzer. I am no wine respecter.






                                           
                                               A good thick minced steak burger made with just the addition of an egg and seasoning. Popped on some leaves and covered with Cheddar, ketchup, raw onion and tomato slice. Coleslaw and homemade Wedges make this oh so simple dinner a much loved winner. In the background....My only concession to healthy eating..A pair of plums.

                                               



Now I'm really flying...My favourite pudding of all time... Jam.
Utterly moreish, so easy and economical to make and what makes me really go beserkly happy is it's nuked for four minutes in my microwave. The days of a two hour steam are so over. I do feel though that I'm letting my sister cooks down. But happy faces are what I like to see and when a slice of this plump bum bum of a pud is laid on the plate all I get are wows and cors!!! Guilt Gone.


Talking of food..

Today's dinner is a roast chicken, with peas, roast potatoes and a sage gravy. And for afters...Plum crumble and custard. The plums were given to me by Mr Hairy. After stoning his purple fruits I put them in a baking dish, topped them with Demerara sugar and cinnamon. Then topped that with a flour, brown sugar, butter, muesli enriched crumble mix. Heaven.

I'll be watching The X Factor later so I'd better get flying...........................

Hope you're all drooling!

I am definitely drooling but Merlot Spritzer is a new one on me especially as I drink so little! You are getting a taste back for wine!!
