Just thought shall I cook fresh mint with the peas ?

I'd do both the spuds and peas with mint, that with the parsley sauce is more than enough herbiage.
(But then I am one of those genetic oddballs to whom coriander leaf tastes of soap, so I'd skip that bit anyway
)

They do boiled potatoes with olive oil and coriander here rather than butter. I’m on a low cholesterol diet at the mo so butter is not on the menu .I'd do both the spuds and peas with mint, that with the parsley sauce is more than enough herbiage.

Probably the wrong time of year for it, but I do love boiled new potatoes - all little and in their skins - with some mint leaves in the cooking water - one of my favourite things that I don't really get to do because OH doesn't like mint
Olive oil and garlic is also good on crushed new potatoes.
Why have I only got big baking spuds in at the moment? I want some boiled new potatoes now

Fantastic, stuff you grow yourself has that added satisfaction of "I did this" too, at least IMO.

Small one opted for pasta(shocker
). We are having some ribeye steaks I got at work for £2.00 (off Gary before he left to start his own butchers
) himself is having oven chips, fried onions and peas with his. I am having sweet potato done in the air fryer, spinach, mushrooms and green beans. And i have cut the majority of the fat off mine as well for reasons of diet but it should still be tasty.

Yup. I stumbled across veg growing thirty years ago and am addicted to it . Seasons are very different and some of our traditional veg ( U.K.) just doesn’t do well due to the heat and lack of cold and rain . On the other hand I have grown aubergines outdoors here , melons , watermelons and mangoes and have loquat , lemon and orange trees .

I used to when I was young - grew up rural and had a veg patch in the garden where my parents live. Unfortunately I've had no outdoor space for the last 30 years. I've managed some herbs in pots indoors which although isn't the level of veg growing that I would ideally like to be involved in, does provide some satisfaction. Not enough sunlight in winter for it though, but herbs in the summer are good on the windowsill.

I was going to do the chilli that I was supposed to do last night but never got around to making (had marmite on toast, dark chocolate digestives, and an orange club instead).
A visit to the supermarket has provided me with a bounty of chicken (pack of 2 chicken breast fillets and 2 packs of "mini fillets") from the reduced to clear shelf and a load of veg so there is a change of plan (although I'll still make a veggie chilli for OH that he can dip into over the next couple of days, handy sort of meal for that when he's working).
I also got a pack of "Best" range butter basted sliced chicken which needs using tonight so I am going to start with a chicken sarnie - white bread, butter, mustard, sliced chicken.
Then later I will do something along the lines of chicken cacciatore which I will have with some plain rice - I'll bung in loads of peppers and carrots and that will do me for 2 days, and I'll put the rest of the reduced price chicken in the freezer for later in the week.
I did quite well off the reduced to clear today, which is good as it's been empty the last couple of times I've been in there.

it varies depending on what veg I've got in - tonight there was an onion, a carrot, a stick of celery, a courgette and a potato - diced and added to the pot in that order, with some chopped garlic. 1.5 litres of chicken stock and a drained tin of beans, simmered until the potato was just soft then added two big leaves of kale, shredded, then some frozen peas shortly before serving. I cooked some rice in a separate pan and served it with a spoonful of rice and a handful of parmesan for each bowl.
Oh, I also put some dill in, cause there was some in the fridge that needed using up

It’s all happening tomorrow
Well it ended up being delivery noodles because couldn't be arsed to cook and didn't fancy pies in the end.
I made a lemon cake this afternoon though. Just waiting for the icing to set before having a slice.

Quorn roast, roast potatoes, sage & onion stuffing & yet to be decided veg. And wine. Why do I always need wine with a roast?

Duck breasts for me and the boy, prolly something packed with chilli, ginger and garlic for himself as he is poorly. I am happy to just have it with brown egg fried veggie rice with mine. Smallest has asked for mashed potato pizza which even I feel is a step too far for carbs. So will negotiate for one or tother.

Didn't happen. Himself isn't well enough for Duck so going to slow cook the duck legs (
) tomorrow, shred and make duck tortillas for Tuesday. So ended up making him eggs in spicy tomato and chorizo sauce with bread. The small one has been sick so nothing for her, I haven't got a huge appetite either but have cooked some buffalo chicken thighs and veggie rice for when I finally fancy it. Though at this rate I can see it being jam on toast kinda evening.
