penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.

Definately. It's one of those pantry dinners-whatever you've got in the house
Yum. Thank you. Don't like tinned tomatoes though - do you think I could use pesto instead?

notamum- it's very 'to taste': put 1tbsp english mustard in a large bowl, add 1/2 tsp ground ginge, dash of soy, shake of chilli powder and 5spice (adapt to what you have). Stir in juice of one lemon and zest, add honey to atse (takes quite a lot- keep trying); roll chicken (I do 2kilo legs) in amrinade, leave in fridge an hour then bake on medium until starting to caramelise

Boys love it

Tomorrow -
I am eating out. Dp and the girls will have a "freezer meal" of some sort: probably veggie bakes with salad and new potatoes

Weds:

We do similar to jugglingwoman in that we tend to work from a carb outwards.
