LAST NIGHTS DINNER
Beef Casserole, with Swede, Onion, Carrot, Peas from t'garden, n Braised Steak

I asked the butcher in Morrisons which would be the best cut for a casserole, cos I just don't know, and he recommended braising steak. It was delicious! I added a bit of sherry in the mix then added the ingredients bit by bit.
Mr A complimented me on the food, so I know it was good.

TONIGHTS DINNER
Tortilla with our own eggs, cabbage, potatoes and yellow Pepper
Salad with Lettuce from t'Garden

It was Liberties 4th Birthday party today, themed Princesses and Dragons, so I went in my long green velvet dress and feathery tiara. No, I wasn't a dragon, I was a princess! A few games like pass the parcel and statues were fun, then I had to go and sort out chickens, food and fire, so left around 5.30. The chicks have grown lots. They have stumpy little wings which allow them to fly in fits and starts. They eat loads and seem starving all the time.

Another day of rain. I made a Sherbert Lemon shop in town luckily managing to avoid the showers.

you can't beat braised steak stew with a big lump of fresh bread to dip in, and a glass of robust red wine to go with it.

Ah, you saw through my 'casserole' to the stew it really was!
Yes, I'm now a fan and will use it again. I put some spuds in for the carbo hydrates, but fresh home made bread would do the job nicely.
Cheers!

I often use round steak for stews, but I will try braising steak - it will certainly be cheaper!

It was great, very tender and easy to eat, I'll deffy use it again. Mr A loved it too.
