A Bo 'Bab Burp...!

Just had the M&S dine in for two belly pork, parmentier potatoes which i did with  stem broccoli - 2 bottles of Elderflower presse and there are two raspberry panna cottas waiting to go. very nice indeed and very easy when the kitchen is a bomb site.

Awwwwwwwwwww - I used to love nights like that when my were younger.

Add to my earlier list.....doritos, 3 dips, cheese cubes, branston peanuts, profiteroles and cheesecake. Stuffed. Happy. Kids in bed. Peace 

    was followed by some Bo snores....   perfect Saturday night almost

As a result of this thread I've just gone out and bought a salt and pepper pork belly joint. I feel like cooking it now and eating it all myself 

Is it the one from M&S? Ours last night was delish despiye being cooked in a kitchen lit by lamps and covered with dust and bits of rubble.

We're eating out tonight - makes a change as I usually do Sunday lunch for an army - put my foot down today - i have my limits! I'm hoping we can eat from my lovely new kitchen/diner next week.

I love belly pork, Cags; especially with a nice bit of crispy crackling

Soozy, I'm feeling your pain with regards to kitchen refurbing.  I got sick of takeaways and eating out when ours was being gutted. I even did a blog about the drama & uproar day to day crashing and bashings.  It was the 3rd time I'd had the kitchen done and I vowed never again.  It just goes on and on and on....

It'll be worth it in the end though

(We're eating out tonight too )

Yep ...................I know what you mean. The flat roof is being done at the front of the house tomorrow as well as work continuing in the kitchen so I'll have workmen/dust/debris inside and out. It's beginning to grate .................Mr Woo - nowhere to be seen - one of the shops is having a refit tomorrow so guess where he'll be .

Men always have 'other business' to attend to when the builders move in

When we moved into this house (with practically resident builders may I add!), I had the 3 kids at home - no water, no leccy, no nuttin' - and he swanned off to Hong Kong for the UK hand back to China.  There he was poncing about all suited and booted, feeding high on the hog; we were making like gypsies round an indoor campfire.

I even hired a tea urn and cooked on the barby indoors

What colour scheme have you chosen? 

And what's your first proper cooked meal going to be?

*still staving off the pangs for Cags' pork belly, drools*

My cooker  and cabinets are cream high gloss - black slate work tops and sink - still undecided on the floor but I think it'll be dark. For the tiles.dining room I'm thinking Duck Egg and Taupe but I'll make my mind up when everything's fitted. I rather like the underground/metro tiles but I think they might be a bit faddy and date (can't see us re fitting for a looooong time).

No roast today as daughter is working till 10pm, so i'm having chicken and veg pie, roasties and green beans

It was from Tesco  Just finished it and I need to lay down 

Just had a roast beef dinner....

Snap..... tongues will wag

Roast beef, and the trimmings!

I just had a roat chicken dinner, with potatoes, parsnips, cauliflower, carrots, brochilli and green beans and a red wine gravy ... And now I am stuffed

Tonight, on my slimming world diet (1st weigh in tomorrow night) I had stir fry beansprounts, babycorn, red onion, quorn pieces, capsicum & water chestnuts with soy sauce... and it was nice 

Good luck tomorrow

Just eaten it now - our local was closed so we ordered from town - very disappointing TBH.

I like a good rich butter chicken curry....not too hot but not too creamy 

That's a shame...tis never the same from elsewhere is it 

I lost 6lb in my 1st week.. yaay

Pork Casserole for tonight

Do you put cider and apples in yours?

God only knows what I'm having - the drilling and banging and clattering is reaching a crescendo in my kitchen at the mo. I hope that's a good sign.

I let the kids choose tonight. We ended up with mini wraps filled with bacon, tomato, cheese, coleslaw and garlic sauce. Wrap it, put it in the sandwich press and hey presto it was bloody lovely 

Pot roast that was done in the slow cooker with onions carrots celery leeks a little red and green pepper  crushed black pepper garlic and various herbs, potatoes steamed in their skins,cauli and broccoli,it was lovely.

I just drooled a wee bit there
