Kids were asking this morning if we could go out for tea but as the day has worn on a little, quite frankly I can't be bothered.
I did a sausage casserole for the first time ever last week - how that little beauty has passed me by all my life I have no idea. It wasn't a follow a recipe job, I just had some sausages that needed using and I started bunging stuff in a pan. It was blinkin lovely if I do say so myself, even if smallest child created a drama over the carrot.
This afternoon I'm going for round two and what I have simmering away is currently a vegan masterpiece.
Leeks, carrots (grated this time), green pepper, yellow pepper, onion, potato, red lentils and butterbeans. Pasata and red wine, loads of garlic, basil, paprika, a generous helping of tabasco plus salt and pepper and it smells lovely.
I was seriously debating whether I could actually give up all animal based food, then I opened the oven to turn the sausages and realised I was kidding myself.
Sausages to be thrown in the mix when well browned off then ignored until the small people demand sustenance - cant beat a one pan meal!
