Last day of the holidays

Day 4/100

I have had a lovely day with an allotment trip (the first in months) and a I got a load of sewing done.

So breakfast was a slice of homemade Christmas cake at about 11 am post allotment (I am getting worse at breakfast).  Lunch wasn't much better with a marmite butty at about 3.30.

However dinner was my absolute favourite ever.  I made a beef casserole in my slow cooker.  It  was made with some diced beef from the reduced counter, and onion from the allotment store, a handful of mushrooms, a swede that had been languishing in the veg basket for a while, and freshly harvested carrots, parsnips and leeks.  All of  this was slowly cooked with a couple of beef stockcubes, a bay leaf and some worcestershire sauce.  I served it with freshly picked sprouts, homemade dumplings and a couple of slices of bread for gravy dip!!!

And there is enough left over for tomorrow with mash!!!
