Here they are
The ones I received yesterday from a friend. It's just a rough sketch while I half watch 'Saving Lives at Sea' on iplayer. There doesn't seem to be anything much on Saturday TV at the moment. Those lifeboat crew are so brave and resourceful, I'm just amazed.
I've batched cooked meatballs today, mixing 500g minced beef with paxo stuffing mix that I had in the cupboard, fine chopped onion and celery, seasonings and an egg. This time I baked the little meatballs, rolled to about the size of walnuts, in the oven for 15mins at 180°C. I made 37, so I took one out to test; just done! So that's 6 portions of 6 meatballs.
We had 12 mixed with a tin of baked beans, a baked potato and boiled carrots and swede for lunch today. The reast are in the freezer for another day. I'll do something similar with 500g minced pork tomorrow.
There's also a crock pot of red cabbage to be portioned up as well. Time for restocking the freezer.
I'm back to knitting the Christmas New Year Epiphany Candlemas cardigan. Eight more rows to finish the sleeves and then comes the business of fixing the length of the back. Then sewing up, picking up stitches for the neck, and four buttons. Maybe I'll go for a March finish date!
The tortoise seemed the appropriate choice for today.
We enjoyed Mary Berry’s pigs in blankets cassoulet. Delicious
ReplyDeletethe recipe looks delicious
DeleteYou got quite a bit of food made both for now and also for the freezer.
ReplyDeleteDH made small meatballs and baked them yesterday. Some will no doubt go into the freezer ( as he's the only one that eats them).
Meatballs in sauce stretch the meat so much further than meatloaf, which I also like.
DeleteReally like the picture of the tulips. They look so bright!
ReplyDeleteThank you 😊
DeleteI like to mix pork mince with sausage meat - Cumberland or Lincolnshire for preference - plus finely chopped apricots and parsley to make burgers. It also makes a tasty pie-filling. I'll have to give the stuffing + beef mince a go, sounds tasty.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea; the breadcrumbs and seasoning in the sausage meat work well.
DeleteI love meatloaf, Delia's recipe with homemade spicy tomato sauce but your meatballs would work really well too. Your tulip drawing is lovely. I feel like a tortoise today, slow and sleepy. Regards Sue H
ReplyDeleteSaturday was a real 'tortoise day' for me. Sunday is better - so far...
DeleteIt's lovely to see spring flowers indoors in January - a touch of colour and brightness on sometimes dull days.
ReplyDeleteYes, and very timely, as this weekend is set to be dull and grey and rainy.
