Today my in laws came to stay and have brought extra rations.  so we have some more bacon, milk and a small amount of extra cheese.

Breakfast - toast 

lunch home made leek and potato soup

evening meal roast chicken roast potatoes carrots, roast parsnips, cauliflower and home made gravy.

My mother in law brought bacon to go over the chicken  but i felt this was a waste as only yesterday we shared one rasher of bacon between two!

Friday 17th Septembe

Porridge for breakfast. ( made with a little more water than normal as milk is running low)

lunch was ham sandwich ( last of the ham)

Highlight of the week was fish and chips from the chip shop, and to top it all a friend came round with some black market chocolate cake:)

Thursday 16th September

Powdered egg has been a great hit, today used it in making a great chocolate cake and once again scrambled egg on toast for breakfast.

Lunch - chicken soup, and bread and butter, its so good having real butter!

evening meal. mock goose. boiled potatoes and carrots.

the mock goose was great we ate it all even holly ate the boiled potatoes.

Mock goose was layers of potato and apple, and a very small amount of cheese, a vegetable stock was than poured over it.

and baked for about a hour. 

after we had washed up i made a great chocolate cake using black treacle and one tea spoon of bornville cocoa powder. it was a great treat and it turned out really  well. I will be making it again as it had so little fat and sugar in it , but still tasted and looked good.

I was hoping to be blogging lots but just don’t have the time.

night all. 

wednesday 15th septembe

Not a good start as lunch was meant to be homemade chicken soup, but as we went out last night, I  never had time to make it so i had to have spam sandwiches.  so spam fritters for tea was a no go.

Breakfast porridge

lunch spam and tomato sandwiches 

Tea potato pancakes this recipe used one rasher of bacon which we chopped up very small and shared between 3 . 1 tomato and a few baked beans.

pudding was chopped up apple.

Our tea rations are lasting very well, and 3 spoons of loose tea seems to happily make two pots of tea. Its amazing to think how many tea bags we would have used and just thrown away.

I made soup of lunch tomorrow, It was going to be chicken and sweet-corn, but the sweet-corn growing in the garden was  not right, the cobs had formed but no corn, so i just made chicken soup. Normally if this happened i would pop out and get some tinned sweet-corn properly buy lots of stuff we did not need at the same time.
