Funnily enough I just ordered some hello fresh boxes, got an offer sent to me so have 6 meals on the way for a fiver.

We started off with a similar deal, but once it was full price it was too expensive compared to just buying the ingredients from Aldi. Recipes and food are great though .

Yeah, I plan on canceling the subscription. Not paying full whack for it. I'm essentially paying £4.99 primarily to not think of what to cook for me tea. that and because it's 6 meals for a fiver!

Not even December but already starting to make bits and bobs for Xmas dinner.

Soon won't be able to buy cherries so roasting some off in sugar, salt and oil so I can blitz them down now, freeze them until needed to make a roasted cherry soup.

Have nuts and dried fruit soaking in booze so I can make sort of "mince pies".

Spiced plum gin is brewing and ready in a month.

I got ridiculed last year because I made my gravy in advance and froze it. I'd roasted off a bunch of chicken wings for something else and was left over with lots of stock that I didn't know what to do with. I had the last laugh as the gravy was f***ing amazing.

Prep for Mother's Day kicked off. Making a traditional Portuguese dish of pork and clams so need to mascerate the red peppers with salt for 12 hours before roasting, peeling and blitzing as the marinade for the pork for 24 hours.

Sounds like a lot of work but essentially about 20 mins of actual cooking all in - just a waiting game - and the end result is really tasty.

Have family over for the Easter lunch so making a traditional French main course, leg of lamb with Boulanger potato and then a classic Italian lemon, thyme olive oil cake for pudding.

Prep is less than an hour so more time to spend quaffing wine in the small sunshine window.

Sounds delightful- love a bit of lamb!

Went really well. All the guests opted to not drink so I ended up drinking a bottle of wine by myself and fell asleep in front of the TV and missed the F1 race.

Bought myself my first ever Dutch oven, I've been missing out!!!
My food shopping at the moment is basically whatever I can think to cook in it .

Tonight I'm making a pot roasted chicken with shallot, garlic, basic soffrito, white wine, stock, few sprigs of rosemary and thyme.

Currently dog sitting and decorating for my daughter whilst she's away skiing with the kids. I've been working like a galley slave for the past week so I'm going to treat myself tonight. As much beer as I can possibly sup and if I can still see when I get in, a fish finger sarnie may suffice.
