Ahhhh… Yes… HAM and made exactly the same way. I stick whole cloves inside the diamonds… and use a sweet glaze the last 1/2 hour of cooking.
Hi Audrey,
Daisymay has explained it all to you, so I don’t have to now. The Gammon was lovely. Susie x 
Isn’t it interesting that the Spanish word for Ham is Jamon…(accent on the A) pronounced Hamone… You call it Gammon and we call it just Ham. How do you pronounce Gammon?
I know I should not blow my own trumpet, and I so wish I knew how to post photos, but if what I have just made tastes as fab as it looks then heaven is on its way.
See I fancied of all things some Manchester tart, so decided to make one, but then found we had no coconut. Bummer yeah? No! as I remembered that I had purchased a huge container (800gm) of strawberries at half price yesterday (50p) which had intended for after tea but forgot about. Anyway, lined the pastry with seedless strawberry jam, filled with cooled custard (Birds not egg) then, having sliced and macerated fruit for around an hour, piled them on top of the now cold and firm custard. To be served with ‘swirly’ cream later.
Hi,
pronounced as ‘Ga’
I’m coming over, that sounds fantastic.
Sorry Susie, son came home from work, took one look and helped himself to a huge slice, I had quite a large slice and, well, not much left ahem. But it was scrummy, especially as he had brought a flake to crumble over it.
You’re making me feel jealous. :twisted:
Today we will be having, Red Thai Curry, Rice & Mushrooms.
We just had Vegetable Soup and roll. Tonight we are having Cheese, Onion Omelette, cubed oven potatoes & Beans.

Celeriac and lettuce with tempeh for me.

For dessert, butterscotch angel delight and banana.

Chicken wings
Is that it, Audrey? 
No… I just haven’t decided… maybe a salad… Maybe French Fries… maybe some sort of pasta dish… Or maybe JUST chicken wings and a bottle of wine… 
I’ll tell you what though… I’m sick to death of figuring out what to cook and then cooking it… 
I hope you went for Chips and Salad Audrey.
We had chicken wings… mashed potatoes, green beans and cranberry sauce. No wine… pity…
Asda have an offer on chickens, you can choose two for £8. There are ‘extra tasty chicken’ and ‘garlic and herb’ chicken I have been buying them and putting them in my halogen oven for 90 minutes and my husband reckons they are the best chicken he has ever ever tasted. They don’t dry out and I think they are the same chickens you can buy from the deli counter that have been cooked in store on the spit.
That chicken served with a really fresh salad and new tatties is really a wonderful meal. Course it has to be followed by strawberries and cream, or fresh fruit salad. Punnets of fresh fruit are £1 each and I am buying plums, nectarines, peaches, grapes and melon to enjoy this gorgeous summer we are having.
Oh twoey I know how you feel, my son will eat whatever is put in front of him, be it a cheese sandwich or a full blown roast and all the extras. So it drives me nuts when, looking for inspiration after decades of deciding/cooking meals, I ask what he fancies, and he says “You know me I will eat whatever you give me”!!! I want to scream at him “I know that but what I want are suggestions”.
Anyone did my usual miracle with a chicken this week, only this time it was with a ready roasted one for £3.50 (Yep thats right £3.50) from of all places Iceland. So day one I had salad with one leg/thigh, day 2 son took pasta salad to work using one breast, day three made him 3 rounds (six slices bread) chicken salad sandwiches for his day at his games club, and I had the other leg/thigh portion with salad; then threw the carcass, bones skin and wings in a pot with some peppercorns bay leaves and a bouquet garni and simmered for a couple hours, strained, removed all meat, added mixed veg, pots, extra stock cube, lentils and pearl barley and ‘hey voila’ (as a certain French chef is wont to say) chicken soup for two. Blimey I am getting good.
Today though it is bog standard chilli and rice.
Omg I am at a wedding reception. …the meal is a BBQ…the burgers taste like the ocean. …salty…the pork is like a oil well greasy and the steak is like the sahara …dry…and if I was a rabbit I would have enjoyed the salad…well I aint and I hate salad…at least the beer and wine is brilliant
