 Jules' Game Faggots
spiced red cabbage

The only other meal of any note this week, I bought these faggots when I was in Wells-next-the-Sea recently on holiday, from Jules at  The Norfolk Deli , really delicious, firm solid meat, I fried them and then cooked them in the oven in some nice gravy.  Very Autumnal.

This week has been rather boring food wise, but two meals have been rather delicious, Dan's Ham and Potato Pie that we had hot on Sunday we had cold on Monday with a shredded autumn vegetable coleslaw (onions, carrots, celery, red peppers, dressed with a light vinaigrette and poppy seeds) and a tomato salad, made with tomatoes from the garden with fresh basil and some balsamic vinegar.
 

Dan Lepard's Ham and Potato Pie with Marmalade Pudding - October 9th Sunday

Okay, okay.  I know.

The title of this blog is Lynne's Slimming Diary... ( editors note 1/1/2012:  hahaha I decided that so much of what I was eating was not slimming in the slightest any more, so the Slimming part of the title has been expunged. Just enjoy the dinners! )

So don't look then...

Courgette Tarte , Tomato salad and Potato wedges - 6th October Thursday

I had some puff pastry left over in the fridge, so this was rolled and cut into 2 flat rectangles, spread with tomato and olive sauce from a jar (Sacla stir in pasta sauce) topped with courgettes also found in the fridge, and sprinkled with a rather nice washed rind cheese whose name I can't remember....(also found loitering in the fridge)

It was a use-em-up day :)

Lumaconi pasta shells with tomato and basil sauce -

From the Sainsbury's Taste the Difference range, these Lumaconi pasta shells are massive, I want to try stuffing them like ravioli one day, but today was fast and furious.

Pasta tossed with a sachet of tomato and basil sauce with shredded fresh basil and grated gruyere cheese.
