What’s your Brother’s address Mollie darlin’ - I’ll come and drop in on him and bring my plate, knife and fork 
As its Sunday - irrespective of the weather, normal Sunday Roast: Chicken, roast potatoes, parsnips and onion with steamed Leek, Celeriac, carrots and sweetcorn. Am considering making a home-made cherry sponge pudding and custard for a ‘sweet’.
Shrimp creole, ciabata roll.
Uncle Joe! He lives at No 2 … 
It truly was a wonderful meal, made all the more wonderful that we sat in his garden which he’s just completed after two years and £4000. Sorry, I know this isn’t exactly on topic, but whilst I was there, I felt the most relaxed I have done in many a long month.
Yus Missus Dandy, you may borrow my brother, as long as his missus doesn’t mind! He really is an excellent cook, and that was brought about because when we were kids in the 50s, our mam encouraged us to experiment, and we’d watch her baking. We’d want some pastry of our own and she’d give us scraps then, lacking a rolling pin, we’d roll out pastry using a glass milk bottle! 
Mollie darlin’ we seem to be related - that is exactly how I learned to cook too, and yes a milk bottle is much better than a wooden rolling pin. My Mother used to fill the bottle with cold water and let it stand for a while to cool the glass before using it.
For dinner…Shepherd’s pie.
Poached chicken breast with baked potato and salad and I can’t not have a generous knob of butter on my baked potato.
“No cook” Monday: tuna sandwich, curried cauliflower and little new boiled potatoes with butter and paprika
Yes, my mum used to fill the bottle with cold water as well before rolling out her pastry. The old ways are the best ways. 
Oh, I had fried onions, mushrooms and steak with dark soy sauce, and pan-fried potatoes in butter, but I’m off to Uncle Joe’s tomorrow night for a feast. Expect me at 7 p.m. 
Spaghetti with meat balls, grated parmigiana cheese, ciabatta roll and tossed salad.
Am defrosting the Zebra steaks as we speak Mollie darlin’ - will marinade them in 1/2 Pt of PORT wine, tossing in plain flour before flash frying them with an onion and some garlic, and them placing them in my slow cooker. Will slice the potatoes and and peel and chop the other vegetables (Carrots, swede, celeriac and leeks), make a sauce out of the marinade and add the vegetable into the frying pan and pour the sauce over them. It will thicken as it heats and I will then pour it and the vegetables over the meat in my slow cooker, place the lid on it and leave for about 5 - 6 hours. In the meantime will make a cherry sponge pudding too ready for your arrival.
I’m in the mood for bacon and scrambled eggs tonight, with fresh spinach.
Lunch is small miso soup, cherries and Port Salut cheese.
I went ‘out’ to lunch today with a couple of friends of mine. Had a ‘pub’ lunch in a lovely pub right in the heart of the town. Was eating Steak & Kidney suet pudding, broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots in a delicious gravy. As I’ve said before, I love my grub and have a VERY healthy appetite.
A hearty appetite’s good! I have one too, it was quite distressing when I had a bout of gastroenteritis a few years back and lost my appetite completely for about a fortnight!
Darlin’ that’s not just distressing, that’s catastrophic!!!
Ricotta and Spinach pizza with a mixed salad… lovely!
The only good thing that could have been said was that I lost about 5+ pounds! But not a weight loss regimen I’d recommend, Uncle Joe!
I have a cast-iron constitution DM darlin’ very little upsets my stomach - which is my temple and I worship there three times a day:lol:
It’s going to be lamb today.I don’t buy lamb very often even though it’s one of my favourite meats.I managed to pick up a bargain from Asda on their whoops section.It looks excellent and I will enjoy eating it even more because I got it at a bargain price.
I have a cast iron stomach also, that’s why it was such a shock to be ill and then lose my appetite! I love your sense of humor!
A hot weather light meal: crab remoulade, fresh spinach,crisps.
