Meal Plan Friday 1st January 2021

 We have a new year and it seems like nothing is changing. The kids were meant to be going back to school but their primary has had to close which means we are back to homeschool and for how long we do not know.

We are back to more normal food now as we managed to eat up all the gammon and turkey and had no food waste which was really good.

Friday - Beef Pie, mash, and green veg the boys will have chicken pie. These are brought in

Saturday - Canneloni for us with garlic bread and salad. The boys will have ravioli.

Sunday - French Style Chicken

BBC Good Food French style chicken peas bacon

Monday - Risotto mushroom, I bake this in the oven

Tuesday - Pasta, mozzarella and tomato sauce this is a very light dish

BBC Good Food Pasta mozzarella mint fresh tomato sauce

Wednesday - Chicken keiv, mini roasts, and greens

Thursday - Thai Prawn and pineapple rice

BBC Good Food Thai fried prawn pineapple rice

    Well done on avoiding food waste - I know Christmas is often one of the worst times for it. We avoided it too, apart from 4 samosas which accidentally went bad in the fridge!

    Sounds like you're eating well, I hope the homeschooling goes good! x

    Nope nothing much has changed here either. We're all still home. My fella was supposed to be back to work tomorrow but we'll have to see what Boris says later on.
    We have gammon on the meal plan this week. I didn't get any over Christmas and really fancied some.

    Oooh well done, I was lacking a meal (and inspiration !) to finish off my menu plan this week and you've just reminded me that I have a bag of cannelloni in the cupboard, ready to stuff ! I'm tempted by the French chicken too but I'm not sure about cooing lettuce - is it nice? I think the kids would turn up their noses ! lol

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...

Feeding a Bee with sugar water

Have you ever been in the garden and seen a sad looking bee on the ground not really moving? You watch it for a while realising the poor little chap is really struggling. I have found several bees like this and tried to feed them sugar water. But my attempts to rescue them mainly ended with me trying to drown them, I was really not aiding them during their time of need. But I have finally developed a method that works so I thought I would share. Mix together white sugar with a little water so that it completely dissolves, RSPB suggests 2 tablespoons of sugar with one tablespoon of water. I used desert spoons but the same ratio. The advice is never to use honey or brown sugar.  This is what worked for me, move the bee to a paving stone, I used a strong leaf they tend to walk onto it, if not you can easily slide it under them, then drip a small amount of the sugar water in front of the bee. The bee will start to drink the sugar water and you will see it begin to get stronger. It...
