Thursday treats in hoylake!!-Joe

I am back home for a couple of nights as I am going to a school reunion lunch in Liverpool tomorrow (see blog soon!). It's been great to catch up with mum, as it will be seeing old friends tomorrow. Hopefully Jo will be ok in Leeds without me! She should be doing a post too tonight...(ps. This is done using a blogger app so unsure how it is going to look!

Wednesdsay - Stew and Pasta...eh?? Sounds weird but good!! (Joe)

I am sure we are both getting into work earlier and finishing later....we go in to work together, as we work across a dual carriageway from each other in central Leeds. In the evening it depends on what we have on - I ran home today (I much preferred running when it was lighter....I don't wear headphones now incase a ruffian tries to mug me in the dark!) and Jo took the car - we weren't both back in till after 8 - phew! A long day which is becoming more and more the norm! Lucky we both enjoy what we do!!

With hunger pangs attacking we used what we had available for dinner - left-over stew with pasta and huge pile of  red cabbage on the side....

PS!....HELLO AUNTIE KAREN!!!! SEE YOU AT CHRISTMAS!!!! xx

Tuesday night experiments!

When I don't have enough time to cook I get a bit stressed.  For some reason, cooking is one of the few things that really relaxes me after work, so I get huffy when things get in my way!  After having to ask Joe to make dinner last night, I didn't care that we didn't leave until after seven - I was cooking!

Today was also experiment time - a veg box from Riverford last weekend means we have lots of food in the fridge so it's a perfect time to try something different!  Tonight was potato cakes with a poached egg and tomato and chorizo sauce.  It took quite a lot of simultaneous activity but ended up pretty good!

Four pans on the go - just before the eggs went in!

And the finished product...poached eggs on potato cakes with a tomato and chorizo sauce

Oh and also an excellent wine delivery.  Fifteen bottles just before Christmas.  Awesome.
