Another busy morning in the church kitchen.  Will be glad when Steve gets back from Croatia so I'm back to Tuesdays only!  All this volunteering is encroaching on my dog walking, ironing and chook care time!!

Popped in to see Jen on the way back and she's looking much chirpier than yesterday.  Did a Hayward's visit to order 80 gluten free sausages for the luncheon club on Tuesday.  Special request for bangers, mash, peas and onion gravy...if they behave I might even do them some carrots.  Bought one of their cooked chickens for the rellies.  Arthur tucked into his with some mash and marrowfat peas.  Not everyone's cup of tea but I'm with him and love them!  Went back to pick The Woo up about seven and Jen looked even better and had eaten a chicken sandwich.  Result!

Lamb chops for us tonight.  Marinated in olive oil, rosemary and garlic then browned and in a 180* oven for about five or six minutes depending on thickness.  We like our lamb really, really pink in this house and five or so minutes leaves just enough time to get the fat crisp without overdoing the meat!  If The Woo can't see pink she sees red instead and I get walloped!
