Morning all!!!

Had a very strange restless sleep that started just as I was going to bed! I switched the lights off (on my own with Daughter at the moment as Hubby working away) and everything looked darker than normal...anyway, got up to bed and read a page of my book, but must have dozed off because suddenly there was knocking on the eaves above my bed. Then just as I was settling again, it happend also I could hear Daughter whispering in her room, which then completely freaked me out and normaly things like this dont bother me! So....a restless night happened! I cant wait for Hubby to come home! Lol

Tried out a microwave poacher this morning for some eggs...apart from over cooking them, one of the little blighters blew up whilst cooking, so I've had to clean the microwave as well! Lol....me thinks the day is going to get worse! Lol.

Just decided to try and cimb Snowdon on the 13th November now as well...we are aiming for a night climb this time....oh boy!!

 

[smoomoo]

hi can i just ask a question about your stew....do you cook it in the pan (boil) it for the 5 hours or do you transfer it to an over dish and cook it in the oven for the 5 hours? thankyou

 

[Mrs V]

Hi there...no I just let it cook away in the pan. Bring it to the boil first and then simmer it until the meat falls apart and the veg is nice and tender...delicious!

 

[jaylou]

Hi Mrs V, hope you had a lovely weekend with hubby, it's great that you still feel like that after all that time!
Check you out with the next challenge too, the 3 peaks will be no trouble for you next year hun.
Hope you are having a good Monday.

 

[Mrs V]

Thank you Jaylou!!!

Our next challenge will be on the 13th December...Snowdon at night! Bit scary thinking about it, but looking forward to being in my home Country!! I'll be visiting family and friends that weekend too!

Hey hun, Gosh, climbing Snowdon at night! I don't think I would even attempt it during the day!

I think it is wonderful that you and your hubby feel that way about each other after so many years together. It really is something special.

I hope you have a great day and a good workout at the gym.x

 

[Mrs V]

Hi All!

Well I have been trying all morning to type up my day and I have had one thing after another to contend with!
Anyway...here I am!! Lol.
The EE pork ragu with penne pasta is delicious and doesnt take long to make at all! Going to try the mince chilli thingy tonight.
I have started AF today and I think this is the reason why I have been feeling so low...wasnt supposed to appear for another 2 weeks though, so not entirely sure whats going on! This would explain the bloating though!

I love the pork ragu dish Mrs V, I made it with diced pork as I didn't have minced pork and we've also had it with minced turkey at my mum's which was lovely too.
I have the chicken pie on my list for this week - no leeks or peas though as DD won't eat it then but we'll have them on the side. Love the EE cookbook, very family friendly!
Have a good day hun. xx

 

[Mrs V]

Ooo...Ive been looking at the chicken pie for a while and was debating whether to make it or not...you've swayed me now Hun!

Thank you! (would rep you, but apparantly I have to spread them out more!)

 

[jaylou]

Aw ta Mrs V! My mum has made the pie a couple of times and loves it so it comes well recommended as she is a fussy so and so!

 

[Mrs V]

Lol...you havent met my Hubby! He's "doing his own thing" with meals, but me and Daughter eat the meals and she loves Mummy's cooking!

 

[Mrs V]

Morning all! Hubby comes home tomorrow, so perhaps I can get some much needed sleep this weekend! What with waking up at the slightest little creak and then last night having a 3 year old's bottom in my face...Im pretty exhausted!
Got most of my shopping done last night which was great, although some little bits this evening and then a massive downstairs clean before bed is planned!
The beef and bean chilli from the EE book is wonderful and can be as spicy as you want it to be!
