Monthly update

Well February is almost over and in two months I've managed to cook 103 recipes.
This keeps me on track so I'm happy with that! Bit mental though!

29/02/2012 - happy leap year day!

Tonight I really fancied chicken so we had roast chicken with salad and crusty bread, but I made the hot lemon butter to spoon over the chicken. Although Delia recommends for fish or artichokes, it suited chicken really well.

A veggie meal tonight - Delia's cheese and herb sausages. They were really good, nice and crispy and really flavourful. We had them with baked beans and potato wedges, proper comfort food.

A couple of days of no photos I'm afraid.

Our first semi-venture into offal... With a steak and kidney pie made with suet pastry. It was really nice!
Cheated a bit by using the steak and kidney pack from tesco - ready cubed and sliced. And half has gone in the freezer to make a steak and kidney suet pudding later on.

Tonight we had our planned dinner from a couple of nights ago (replaced by a Chinese that hubby really fancied!)

Special cottage pie which I bought 'mushroom ketchup' especially for... Hoping I can find more uses for it!

Then for pud... Choux buns filled with a gorgeous chocolate mousse and sprinkled with chopped nuts

Happy pancake day!
We had a pile of pancakes using Delia's perfect recipe I trialled at the start of the year, mainly with sugar and lemon (classic) but also tried one with jam and cream, one with syrup and one with honey.

Verdict... Still prefer lemon and sugar!
