As the proud Mother's Day Roast enters her last stages of life, she submits to the rule of Soy Sauce and Day old rice. Surrounded by old vegetables we witness the end of a Rib Roast. 😅

The yellow is a combo of 'Burger Cheese' high melt plastic alla Maccas and a store bought burger sauce that is an imitation of big mac sauce. There is finely diced white onion and pickles. Just salt and pepper for seasoning 😀. You know for authenticity 😅😶

At the insistence of my child, I tried the viral Tiktok Big Mac Taco tonight for the boys. Hate me freely, I hate myself 😅. Smash it out. Top it up. Serve. I didn't not like it 🤷‍♀️. I know you don't expect culinary classics from me... but if this is a step too far, I understand. 🤣

Desperately needed comfort food. But I had no energy / effort left in me after a tough week. The boys had to put up with Yorkies and a mug of Bisto 😅.

The boys wanted Chicken Katsu curry with rice. They got Katsu curry surprise! (The surprise was this mumma don't label nothing and the chicken snitz in the freezer, turned out to be beef 🤷‍♀️) Just gonna sneak yesterday's tea in here, as ever @Ann_T is a very hard act to follow. I do mine in stout but.

An imitation of Jerk Chicken, Rice and Peas. I have never had Authentic so I have no idea if it was even close but it was yummy. Chicken was done in the air frier and the rice was baked. Photo looks burnt but it didn't taste like ash I promise! Also I only had a bean mix not kidney beans so a fair few subs along the way. And yes it's an ungodly amount of rice. But he's an 11 year old stick of a football player and his appetite is INSATIABLE! Edit to add: He also said he prefers rotisserie chicken so I'll add this recipe to the "not yet" pile 😒

Leftover Sandwich Beef Stir-fry for youngest but now frighteningly tall boy. I did a blade roast for his school lunch meat on Sunday (Cause how expensive is deli meat now?!?!?). However it's been more humid than the back of Satan's Ba... and my bread went mouldy in a day. Adjustments to the menu have been necessary.

WAIT! Waaaiiitt.... I know what it looks like 😬. But please take it from me (or google, or tiktok, I wouldn't believe this either) - this is a Modern Northern English delicacy. It's a Jacket potato (that's a whole skin on tayto roasted so long it can take its armoured self to war) topped with butter, cheese and a Chinese Chicken Chippy Curry (The curry has never been to China but you buy it in Fish and Chip shops and / or Chinese takeaways - often the same place). It might look terrible. But the boys love it. Heathens.

I have titled tonight's dinner "For The Love/Loss of Greggs" 😅. Steak Bake-Ish in a Guinness gravy. Frick I love working with pastry in 36 degrees. Rustic ok. It's Rustic.

I still feed my kid sometimes 💁‍♀️ We have a slightly inspired by Mongolian beef and a well charred but medium rare steak and veges.

You were an active living legend when I joined, and I felt I "made it" in this weird internet world when you liked a post of mine. I read your island holiday blogs like books before I signed up. Sweet Dreams Anna N x

Sleep Well Heidi. You were always so very kind to me. X

Fathers Day Roast Lamb Platter. Serve yourself, gravy in back.

Unauthentic Enchilladas for the boys - but at least I didn't use a kit (for once)! Chicken, refried beans, capsicum, corn, onion in the stuffing. How do we serve these without second degree burns? 🤔

My Son won't eat Salad. He will eat chopped up burger toppings though 🤷‍♀️
