Saturday
===========
To market, to market, to buy a fat pig ....

Here's next week's meal plan:

Lunches Bread and cheese

Saturday evening Steaks, salad, bread

Sunday evening Roast pork with spuds, apple sauce, string beans. Make Irish stew for Wednesday and for freezing

Monday dinner Welsh rarebit with tomatoes

Tuesday dinner Pizza: salami, tomato, basil

Wednesday dinner Irish stew

Thursday dinner Ashy's butter beans with carrots and basil

Friday dinner Sausages and mash with baked beans

And the shopping list:

- Steve: salad leaves, string beans, 4lb onions, 4lb carrots, tomatoes, herbs incl basil, 2 green peppers, lots of tomatoes. Got all of that

- Kelly & Vi: breads

- Peter: St Tola goat's cheese

- Teresa (who was back today): herb mix. No tomato sauce, alas

- Palatines: eggs

- Frank: coffee cake and some new pepperoni-type sausage

- Marie: blue and Gruyere

- butcher: a large piece of beef on the bone (I wanted pork, but there wasn't much) and 3lb of lamb pieces for Irish stew

- supermarket: milk and yoghurt

- offie: twelve 33cl bottles of Leffe.

Saturday's dinner was a simple one: bread and butter, the salad leaves tossed in Frank's dressing and two thick fillet steaks (almost the last of our supply from ). Very nice indeed.
