Today it was lambs liver with bacon and onions in gravy, mashed potato and
peas
Yesterday was lamb steaks (just to annoy sf <g>) marinated in red wine, mint
and garlic, served with buttered new potatoes and broccoli,
Day before it was beer battered fish, with fries and peas! (all homemade)
I can't remember before that but tomorrow it will be boneless pork loin
steaks ... they are out of the freezer but haven't decided what to do with
them yet . Ideas?
