Meal Plan Friday 22nd January 2021

 We have some sunshine which is just lovely and managed to get a little bit of time in the garden. The bulbs I planted in Autumn are coming through which is just lovely. We had a couple of new meals last week one was a tofu rice dish which was lovely and definitely going to have it again. 


Friday - Pizza and salad ala freezer

Saturday - Peri Peri Chicken with chips, salad and coleslaw

Sunday - Roast Beef we have not had a roast in ages thought this would be nice. Dessert will be this

Olive magazine Bourbon biscuit brownies

Monday - Chilli Salmon Noodles I found this one and it sounded really nice. The boys do not like spice so will have tuna fishcakes.

BBBC good food Chilli salmon teriyaki noodles

Tuesday - Chicken Kiev, new potatoes and greens

Wednesday - Paneer Curry with rice and popadoms. This is the basic idea but no cardamon for us as I hate it.

BBC good food Paneer korma

Thursday - Gnocchi in a tomato sauce with pepperoni and served with salad and garlic bread.

    Reading this post while watching the snow fall and suddenly remembered that I have bulbs coming up in the front too! I hope that they survive the frost for us both!

    I feel like those brownies might be calling my name. I haven't done a roast beef dinner for ages, I need to look out for a joint in my next shop. Sounds like a lovely week of meals!

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...
