Lamb pie

I have been cooking but been so busy I've not had time to post.

Over the weekend I had friends to stay and so I bought a lamb shoulder and produced a very yummy Mediterranean medley to go with it.  Lots of salads and olives and also some rosemary shallow fried polenta.



Leftover lamb was then used in a minted gravy for hot lamb buns.

There was still some left and lots of gravy so I threw it together with some more garlic and leeks and make some short crust pastry and made two pies.  One for tonight's dinner with carrots and broccoli and mash potato and another for the freezer.  Truly delicious can't wait to eat it again!

Let there be cake!

Well once again the bananas looked worse for wear, so I've bunged a banana loaf together.  We went and helped our friends yesterday on their allotment so we came away with a stash of produce, yeah, love free food! So I got a massive courgette so I've used a portion of it for a courgette and lemon drizzle cake. Some more of the giant courgette will be used in fritters for dinner tomorrow eve.
