Banners and mashed pots, onions and mushrooms.  I just love minty lamb chops, usually buy them from Morrisons but they haven't had many there lately.  Eggs and chips and baked beans (from a tin) last night and that made a nice change.  Spag. blog. tomorrow from the freezer, if I remember to get it out and don't mix it up with the other stuff in there.  Must remember to label!!!!!  May well be blackberries or chicken soup.  Last time I offered grandchildren ice cream it was spagetti bolognese, well I am mean and use up the old ice cream cartoons.

We usually have our own tomatoes instead of beans but they all got it by the blight this year. Just going to make an apple pie. Had plenty of them this year so got them in the freezer instead of the toms.

I had Sweetcorn Pie ... my own veg, just had to buy cheese.
make up some mashed potato, add finely chopped onion and grated cheese. Spread half in a baking dish, add a middle layer of sweetcorn, top with remaining mash. Sprinkle cheese, pepper and paprika on top and bake for about 20 mins until bubbly.

Made up my own 'Fennel & Smoked Salmon' soup.

Had lots of Fennel sat in the garden (looking a bit sorry for itself) and Waitrose (my nearest supermarket) had lightly smoked salmon reduced as about to go past its sell by date.

Chopped up the fennel and some celery - steamed for 15 minutes to soften.
Dissolved a veg stock cube in the steamer water and put that with an equal amount of milk in a pan. Added half the steamed veg and blended until smooth.

Add the rest of the veg (I like my soups to be both smooth but with real chunks of veg too) and then the salmon cut into large pieces. Simmer for 15 minutes and its done.

Great with some home made bread.

I'm sorry to sound a dimbo, but I am interested. Where does the dish originate from, and how do you cook it please?
Title: Re: What did you have for supper tonight

Kishka is like Black Pudding/Blood Pudding

But no doubt someoen will be along to dispute that  ;) ;D ;D ;D

Jewish Kishke is traditionally made from a kosher beef intestine stuffed with matzo meal, rendered fat (schmaltz) and spices. Blood is not used, as it is forbidden

The Eastern European Kishka is a sausage made with pig's blood and buckwheat or barley, with pig's intestines used as a casing. It is traditionally served at breakfast.

Baked salmon fillets, allotment-grown leeks in white sauce and allotment grown desiree potatoes, followed by apple crumble (apples from the allotment) with a dollop of creme fraiche.  Went down very nicely.

Nasty, TS, hope he's okay.

For my tea, I'm having a take away pizza as I am still struggling with the hangover from hell due to the Mrs having gone to see her mum for the weekend. With the kids. This gave me no choice other than to go a little bit tipsy.

How slobby! And I feel no shame!
