Frit-tit-tata (as we lovingly call it ) is good with asparagus too (sparrow's ar*e in our house).

And to complete the April Dafties section along with Charles (you work it out), I can't swim either.

You can always tell whats for dinner when I put it up here Officially its frittata unofficially its "that posh omelette micky take" have to love the stuff we say when we can't think of the word. Remotes have been "doovers" ever since my sister asked for "the thingy what changes the channel.... you know the doovery thingy"

Cream the butter and sugar together

Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract

(BTW this is the recipe that won me a prize at school.... thought I'd share!) just wish is wasn't looking like pac man but trying to stop people eating cake is asking for a knife in the ribs.

The other day, walking round Morrisons I picked up a packet of puff pastry on offer. I looked on the back and spotted a good recipe. So off I went and bought 4 salmon fillets and a bag of spinach.

Quarter the pastry and roll out each piece until big enough to wrap the fillets.
Place some wilted spinach and chopped spring onion on the pastry.
Place the salmon on top.
Add a drop of lemon juice. Pinch of salt and pepper.
Fold and cover with the pastry.
Brush with and egg.

Bake for 20-25 mins or until pastry is golden.

Luuuurvly. Did this with some steamed broccoli and warm potato salad.

Tonight I'm going to attempt the pasta e fagioli that was mentioned somewhere on here.

I've got a thing about not eating dog food but if you want to try it Charles go for it!

[charles47]

I've eaten dog biscuits before. No harm done, except I keep trying to chase cyclists...
