Lasagne and salad tonight.

Will be using some of the dehydrated courgettes.

Pork stir fry with noodles

Gorgonzola and mushroom tarts.
Leftover Gorgonzola from Christmas - no visitors, so no one to help me eat it.
Was dated 13 Jan, but I assumed it would be fine as it was going to be cooked!
Puff pastry (bought) that has been in the freezer for too long and a posh jar of chargrilled mushrooms in olive oil that was a present in a mini hamper.
All of it needed to be used up, and, even with generous portions it made enough to do us tomorrow as well.
Result!

Goggled a recipe and made the mixture.
Dug out the cast iron crepes pan brought back in my hand luggage from France donkey's years ago and the Le Creuset omlette pan which was sitting on top of it.
Cleaned off the dust and cobwebs, which either shows how long they've been in the back of the cupboard or how slovenly I am.
Found the long palette knife as required by the recipe.
Buttered the crepe pan, poured in some mix and watched it stick to the pan in a thin immoveable layer.
Buttered the omelette pan, poured in some mix and deja vu, another pan coated in pancake. So much for non-stick.

As a last resort, tried the cast iron frying pan that I usually stirfry veg in. Its one of a set of 3 from a pre-decimalisation £ store.
You guessed - the pancakes were perfect. Slight hint of onion on the first one but didn't stick at all.

Pancakes and lemon curd for tea.............eventually.

Whenever I make pancakes, the first one goes in the bin each time.

Whenever I make pancakes the first two or three go straight into my mouth.

Steak, chips and peas

Chips, fritters and beans.

Game pie with mash veggies

Just been googling how to make fritters as I used to love them as a bairn!

Steak pie, mushy peas and onion gravy.
