Meal Plan Friday 23rd March 2018

I have not really got my head round the fact that Easter is next weekend and that means the children are off school from Thursday pm.

 We are doing really well with not wasting as much food and thinking about items to use up.

 Friday - Ravioli for the boys. Fajitas for myself and Mr MC&W

 Saturday - Fish and Chips for the boys. Lamb burgers for Mr MC&W, using up some beetroot I had from the roast chicken last week

 Herby lamb burgers with beetroot mayo

 Sunday - Roast Pork for us all.

 Monday - New Potato and blue cheese salad. Macaroni cheese for the boys.

 Warm new potato salad with bacon and blue cheese

Tuesday - Chicken Curry for us all and yes I will be using a jar of sauce

 Wednesday - Soup and bread as a change, thinking a lovely vegetable one from covent garden. tomato soup for the boys.

 Thursday - Pie, Mash and green beans -  it has been a long time since we have had pie. Again this will not be made by me as time is not on our side this week. I will be trying the boys on a simple homemade chicken and ham pie with some left over puff pastry from the weekend.

      It was simple cooked beetroot (not vinegar ones) mixed with mayo and it was amazing

Pleached Trees - Higher Privacy Solution

As you are aware we have had the new fence put in and are trying to find some ways to gain some privacy back, the new garden fence . Today I took the boys on a trip to one of my favourite places to look at trees and plants. English Woodlands located at Cross in Hand, East Sussex. We brought our laurel plants from them about 4 years ago, they were extremely good plants healthy, strong and have since flourished. As a nursery, they helped us choose what we needed and even told us to buy smaller ones as they would grow so fast, saving us money. I have been looking online and wondered if pleached trees maybe an answer to our height issue. What they should do is bring height to the fence but still allow light in. Now these are by no means a cheap and as always I am not sure if Mr MC&W is going to like them. So what is a pleached tree you ask?, to be honest, I only found out when frantically on google looking for  solutions for the new fence. A pleached tree is where som...

Planting LolliPop Trees Elaeagnus ebbingei

I can not believe the day had finally arrived, the trees we had put so much thought into were going to be planted. We had the conifer and last shrubs removed and the whole area dug over and ready for the arrival of the LolliPop Trees Elaeagnus ebbingei. Finding Elaeagnus Ebbingei Area cleared and ready for the trees I was on the school run when they arrived. I walked round into the back garden to see five of the most beautiful trees in huge pots ready to be planted. Mr MC&W had chatted to the team that the trees need to be the same height despite there being a slight slope. Elaeagnus ebbingei all ready to be planted It was great to see the tape measure out checking the spacing between each one, as this was such a crucial part of the design. I can not believe how fast they got the first tree in and how polite they were when we suddenly realised it was overhanging the neighbours' boundary. They brought it forward no questions. First Elaeag...

Dinner for Two - private Chef

Friday was Mr MC&W 40th Birthday and this brought a slight dilemma. How could I make this night special without going to a restaurant for dinner? Our eldest has type 1 and ASD which means it's nearly impossible for anyone to have him even for an hour or so. I had an idea and for once it was one of my better ones. What about getting a private chef to cook for us in our own home. We could have an amazing meal that we do not have to cook ourselves and look after OB at the same time. Win win all round. Luckily the MIL knew someone who was starting out doing private catering, he has even appeared on MasterChef setting the contestants a challenge. We talked a lot on email about Mr MC&W favourite food, using this information he came up with a special menu for us both. It was perfect we could have a meal that was full of food Mr MC&W loves and there are worries about OB getting sick. Below is our amazing meal. (sorry that the photos are not the best quality, we were rea...
