Bit more batch cooking heading for the freezer. New recipe: smokey sweet potato and black bean stew. And a meat lasagne for the rest of the household.

Today I discovered that under floor heating is brilliant for softening butter to make steamed sponge pudding.
This won’t work if:
a) You have radiators
and/or
b) You have a cat

Recipe box cooking tonight. This is hot and sour Syrian-style lentil stew. Which I thought was very tasty.
Offspring said it looked like a cowpat from a cow that had eaten too many sunflowers.

Yay for the park being open in #York over Christmas this year. It hasn’t been in previous years since we moved here. Just the place for a walk (and play) before enjoying coffee at the youth hostel. Look at the colours of this cornus!

Finalising my Ocado order (YAY for getting up early months ago to bag Xmas Eve slot!) and menu plan whilst drinking coffee outside the fifth children’s Christmas party in four days. I’ve done 2.5 days at work and my apprenticeship assessment in that timeframe too. And YAY I got a distinction!
