Spaghetti with a vegetarian sauce.

Sauce:

Onion, a little bit of garlic, grated carrot (for the sweetness), diced zucchini, mushrooms thickly cut, can of tomatoes, tomato paste, fresh basil & about 6 or so kalamata olives diced into small pieces (for the salt & sharpness). Fresh lightly grated parmesan & a fresh garden salad.

Pasta:

Used the new Jamie Oliver thin yummy spaghetti.

(missing: a glass of more of Chianti)

I made Pork and Beans.

Read about it, heard about it, sounded good but I couldn't find a recipie that I liked, so I made one up out of 3 or 4 different ones and it worked an absolute treat.

Smallish pork shoulder cut in half (one I used was 1.3kg)

I packet of dried cannellini beans , reconstituted by putting in a pot of cold water with some seasoning, bringing to the boil, then turning off and leaving to sit for about 2 hours.

Rub some hot cajun seasoning into the pork and sit aside for a while. Put the 2 pieces of pork into a slow cooker. Mix the drained beans with around a cup of BBQ sauce, couple table spoons of brown sugar, decent glug of apple cider vinegar, garlic salt and cayenne pepper and pour over the pork.

Cook on low for 8 hours. I put it on late Saturday night and turned it off Sunday morning.

Lift the pork out, discard the rind and shred the meat with two forks, tip the shredded meat back into the beans and mix through.

Spicy, sweet and smoky flavour, very filling. To quote my son, "looks like shit but tastes sensational". Serve with crusty bread and sleep alone that night.

Bugger all work really. Putting stuff in pans and leaving it for hours is hardly work. I reckon 15 minutes of actual activity, the rest of the time it was cooking itself.

Actually no, they yuk!

All that saturated fat and crap!

Baked chicken with ricotta for me and junior, bit of tasty for hubby, and grotty, baked sweet potato, and steamed veg, noice.

Probably shoulda given the scotch and double strength caffeine Pepsi max a miss

After the freezer malfunction last week that cost me a lot of frozen meals, I got cooking yesterday making up some stuff I can take up to mums for her to keep in the freezer. I half filled the freezer with home cooked meals before she got home from hospital after doing her hip, she's eaten all those.

So, 4 lots of braised steak and onions with rice and veges, 4 lots of apricot chicken with rice, and 4 lots of curried lamb chops with veges.

Now got a 3.8kg leg of lamb in the oven. the leg, I'm reliably informed, was removed under a general anesthetic and the lamb is recovering well and is expected to be fitted for it's prosthesis in coming weeks.

So that leg, along with a bunch of veges should feed the horde for dinner tonight and get me a few roast frozen lunches for mum.

Let me guess, it was behind the leaf and despite your best arguments that's the last time you'll be allowed in the museum again?
