Thank you for my birthday wishes.

Luminate is a Winter Light Trail at Shugborough which started last Friday and finishes on New Year’s Eve. There are spotlights along the route which is what people have been seeing the last few nights.

Has anybody used the Amazon Drop-off at Asda Living (Queensville)? Think Asda have only just started this and need to send something back to Amazon and that is the closest to me. If you have, is it a separate counter or just the existing pay counters?

Return to Paradise … spin-off of Death in Paradise set in Australia. The Day of the Jackal will be watched when all episodes are available.

Corned Beef hash with baked beans … yummy!!

Which cheek … Chinese enjoy eating fish cheek or pigs cheek.

Oyster sauce, never thought of that. We use it a lot with (Chinese) vegetables.

Snap for us this evening. Anything unusual in your recipe? I always put nutmeg in the meat mixture and no tomatoes just tomato paste.

Hot Dogs and (air fryer) fries. Did frankfurters and traditional sausages. Even fried some onions to put on as well.

Thank you for my birthday wishes. Had a quiet day, coffee at the golf club (the bar wasn’t open at 10am), lunch at McDonalds and dinner from Thaiway (used to be Arroy Thai) washed down with a San Miguel. Oh, and lots of chocolate.

Use this as a dipping sauce for dim sum, spring rolls, etc. Never use it in cooking, it blows your head off. Has a great taste though.

Fresh tagliatelle bolognaise (not spag bol) with garlic bread pizza. All veges cut up super small so 10 year old can’t pick them out.

Couldn’t be bothered preparing anything so pizzas and pasta from the Co-op.

Chicken, Leek and Cider Gratin this evening. It is a Rick Stein recipe and it tastes really nice. Served with some broccoli or Chinese greens make it a great wintery dish.

Sausage and mash pie tonight with Chinese greens. Cook sausages in a sauce with tinned tomatoes, onions, garlic, etc. then put mash on top and bake in oven. Similar to cottage pie. Very warming on a day like this.
