Tuesday 3rd of April

Monday was sandwiches for lunch, then leftover Chinese. Steve's brother Nigel made a flying visit, literally, arriving after dinner on Sunday then leaving first thing Monday. As we had already eaten he bought himself some food from the local Chinese takeaway. It's only about 30 metre away as the crow flies, a bit further on foot. Too temptingly close for my waistline, or pocket.
Anyway he ended up with too much food and left some in the fridge, which went very nicely with some fresh vegetables, stir-fried, and more chinese from the freezer.
Finished up yesterday's trifle for dessert.

Monday part two

Sunday I slept in for half an hour, only one place to go to feed horses so hubby treated me to breakfast in bed. Croissants with ginger preserve, coffee and grapefruit juice.
Have no idea what I ate for lunch it cannot have been anything inspirational.
For dinner I had Grilled pork chops with pan fried herby potatoes, cabbage, cauliflower, carrots and broad beans.
For pudding I found something to do with that chocolate sponge cake that I managed to burn during my baking the other night. It wasn’t really all that burnt, more dried out. So with a bit of trimming, then soaking in Marsala wine and orange juice, it became the base for a trifle. I used orange jelly, poached pears, and a vanilla custard. It was not bad, but son and heir says it should have been chocolate custard. Next time I will make it chocolate, as half of the chocolate sponge is still lurking in the freezer
