2023 - Tonight's recipe

Piri piri chicken with chips & coleslaw.

Day 3 of rations
B. 1 oz Rolled Oats and some milk = porridge. Added a plum for interest
L. Olive sourdough toast with spread from my 4 oz ration
D. Stir-fried mangetout, courgettes and pumpkin seeds with a splash of soy sauce.

I accept that olive bread and soy sauce were probably not available in WW2 but I don't intend to waste any food that's in my store cupboard. waste not, Want not.

It’s pizza night.

Fish, chips and mushy peas.

Day 4 of rations
B. Stewed plums, yogurt and I swapped an ounce of porridge for an ounce of granola!
L. Lentil (50g), veg, & a courgette soup (enough left for tomorrow).
D. YS smoked haddock (45p), sprouts, purple DFBs & mash. (enough of this lot left for tomorrow too).

I made a big batch of chicken tagine augmented with loads of tromba chunks. That was enough for two days with one serving left for P tonight. Not sure what I'm having tonight but I'm positively certain it will include tomatoes, beans and courgettes

Fishy Friday so started the day with tinned salmon and scrambled eggs. Gawd knows what I will finish the day with!

Im off out to friends for dinner so Im not sure what we are eating for main but I did say I would take along pudding.

The plum tree has a very good crop so Ive pan roasted some in brown sugar and cinnamon, once they were soft I drained off the juices and put in a pan with some port and reduced to a syrup....it tastes lovey!
Ive made meringues and homemade custard ( with the egg yolks) - I would have whipped up some cream to go in it but my delivery driver this morning dropped it - it went everywhere! He was really embarrassed

Rations Day 5
B. Oats (1 oz) and stewed rhubarb. Had to dip into my 8oz jar of sugar for this!
L. Lentil soup
D Leftover smoked haddock, mash, beans and sprouts.

Last night was chilli & rice. Tonight will be the same.
