I'm having cucumber with hummus for lunch
I had chicken enchiladas today and yesterday. Was really nice. Mexican is my comfort food.
Gona make Mongolian beef for dinner again if i am hungry enough. Made it the other night and it was fantastic, so now I know I will never be able to replicate it again haha. I might not be hungry enough though, the enchiladas were pretty filling!

I'm trying not to use the oven as much, so last night I made banana oaty things, cooked sausage rolls for lunch as well as the veg for dinner last night.
Tonight will be a non oven day, so maybe curry from freezer and just do some rice.

Mushroom and bacon pie. Its now going cold on the stovetop cos the dog is asleep on my legs. I dont want to move because she has been a nut today so I am enjoying the still and silent. Hopefully dont grow food poisoning in the mean time!
More pies today! My neighbour gave me chayotes/choko and I didnt know what to do with them. I liked the taste, easy for me to eat. I want to grow some too! Big fruit for little effort, my kind of gardening! So I made a mushroom and chayote pie and a sweet apple and chayote pie and gave him half of them. He loved the nachos I gave him the other day, which surprised me cos thats one of my ultra povo meals. I just added the peppers from his garden to my normal basic salsa. He's good at the growing, and I'm happy to turn them into meals.
Choc chip pancakes for dinner tonight. Have a few more eggs to use up in baking this week.
Lilah is still on plain chicken and rice. Im actually getting to the end of my freezer chicken now!! I think I am just going to start cooking all her meals rather than transitioning back to can. She lost a lot of weight being ill and I want to keep this enthusiasm for food in her.
Went to aldi a few weeks back, and WOW, when they are fully stocked, its totally worth the extra fuel to get there. The bunny food alone is $1.29 compared to $4.99 at IGA!!! Outrageous how much rural areas are ripped off, especially as the shop is earlier on the exact same delivery truck route. But its hit and miss to know if Aldi are going to have anything on the shelves. I know their meat and cheese is cheaper too but didnt like the yogurt as much. It does make me laugh though, Aldi legit pull the piss out of the major brands. "Just bran" instead of "all bran" is my fave.

Im all cooked out for this week. Spent the last week cooking my neighbours choko/choyote into apple pies and mushroom pies and potato mashes. Bran loaves banana muffins, scones. Im tired of cooking and this weeks shop run was just to the IGA so it was ALL junk food and bread. Saved myself at least $80 by going for the carbs haha.
@Death did inspire me to get a cabbage. $5.99 wasnt too bad a price on them and I have some pork mince in the freezer to make a huge chow mein on the weekend.

More chayote pies! This time with potatoes, leek, onion and bacon. Needed more bacon.
My friend is coming this week with more leek from her garden and the neighbour is bringing over another basket of chayote for me. I ran him some pie at lunch time but couldn't stay cos Lilah has stitches from her spay and I forgot to put her bucket on her head. He said he'll come round later with chayote cos Im keen to try make a milo pudding with one!
I planted out a bunch of seedlings but dont hold much hope for them. Even the herbs are getting eaten by the birds. Cheeky things know my garden is a food bowl. Caught a parrot pulling up a carrot the other day!!! The joke is, they're called ringneck parrots cos they make ya want to ring their necks!
I need to pick limes and the other citrus growing. Those trees need some real tlc but im waiting on the nets for the apple and pear trees as thats out of my hands and expensive so i gotta save for that work first. Duno what I will do with the citrus. Some can go to the pub, but some isnt going to be good enough.
Shopping day tomorrow, bacon is on the list!

Ok so I dont forget - neighbour likes Shepard's pie and spaghetti Bolognese. So these are things I should try to work chayote into! Might think of if I can figure out a tuna or macaroni dish with it too. I have quite a bit of tuna on hand. And beans, lots of beans - something Mexican? Maybe a curry or stew but I want it yummy, not boring.
I defo want to try in a pudding or soft icecreamy fudge thing. It didnt go well in cakes or bran loaves but might be better if i prepare if differently. Whats your carrot cake recipe @Death ?
Its nice raw and would be good in potato salad too but its not really potato salad weather. Could use it in a dip. Soup is an easy one but its so high in fibre its gona come out like soup too.
