Having a break from cooking today, we are having a ready cooked meal from Marks/Spencer's

Cock Broth for people under the weather

Use a red cock, not too old. And then beat him to death, and when dead pluck him and quarter, and bruise all the bones. Place cock in an earthen ware bowl and add various herbs, fennel,  parsley, violet leaves , aniseed seeds, mace, liquorice. Quarter pint of rosewater,  pint of white wine, and two or three dates. Cover with dough and put the pot in a pan of boiling water for 12 hrs. serve when cool.

Chinese pork and pepper stir-fry today with egg fried rice.

Salt and pepper baps today,filled with slices of smoked roast turkey, and for me thick slices of onion, for 'Er indoors the same except that she will have sliced tomato, I will have a couple of tomatoes on the side.

Anonymous white fish (lost its label) today from the back of the freezer. With chips & peas.

I have asked several fish mongers how a cod can have loins and have never received a sensible answer.  Have you any idea as to an answer?


We are having sirloin steak today, with plenty of fried onions, carrot, sprouts and roast spuds. Plenty of onion gravy too.

Beef stew and dumplin's with roast potatoes and cabbage

Still unsure what yesterday's fish was. I think it was cod but it was very small sized fillets.

Today it's the panchetta, pea and orza "risotto" which I detailed the other day.

I have, apparently, a problem with my kidneys so I'm keeping the protein down somewhat before I go to see the nephrologist tomorrow.

Gammon & eggs today - after the hospital visit I'm sure I'll want something comforting to eat.
