Dinner tomorrow—pork, mushroom, fennel and rosemary sausages. If my as yet untried sausage making skills are as good as I fear then we will eat patties instead

Got a lovely piece of boneless feral boar and bought some slices lard in case sausages need a bit of fat to make them juicy. Also 2m of hog casings.

To go with the snags: potato wedges and dry roasted truss cherry tomatoes. When the wedges come out some pears stuffed with sultanas and chocolate chips will go in.

Looks like a good guide: http://lochac.sca.org/collegium/notes/How%20to%20make%20sausages.pdf

Should have enough snags I can cook some in the offset smoker, hmmmm. 105°C for 2-3 hours and a good half hour of hickory smoke (hickory chunks on top of the charcoal in the firebox.) Funnily enough—apricot and peach wood give a nice light smoky flavor in half the time it takes hickory! Lemon wood gives yet another flavor, rosemary wood yet another.

Vegetarian meal tonight (that is if you consider eggs vegetarian). I'm making a leek quiche and it will be going in the oven in a few minutes. I have to keep the dairy components in the meal to a minimum, so I used buttermilk instead of cream and I made the pastry with margarine instead of butter. Once it's in the oven I'll prepare the rest - lettuce and beetroot salad and steamed spinach.

I made a stir fry of some veg and included some cubes of green pawpaw.
It was ok, never had green pawpaw before.

i had some pork chops cooked on a rack in the webber so they would be crispy and a lot of the fat would be melted out of them.
They worked perfectly.

My anti blood sugar diet of green leafy veg and lean meat is working well.

Keeping away from anything with flour, sugar, starch and fat.

I must keep reading this thread I am always on the lookout for meal ideas.

Green Pawpaw has a neutral salad taste. It absorbs the flavours of other foods. If you don't like toufu, use green pawpaw instead. It's great with thai foods with a lot of chilli.

I did the slow cook soup yesterday with an antique crock pot.
Some lamb shoulder chops, green beans French lentils, whole garlic cloves, onion, lots of carrot, sweet potato, barley and at the last some diced zucchini. (tiny bit of curry powder)
I was running out of room in the pot, so I took some of the top layer out, mainly zucchini, but a tiny bit of the other vegs and I microwaved it.
Then I mixed the microwaved bits with a bit of soya sauce and blitzed it with the hand held blender.
I left the lid off the pot and reduced down until i could remix the blended bit.
I bought a fresh loaf of some yuppie light rye bread and verily it was a good feed.

It looks like Friday Pizza tonight

That sounds yummy. It's perfect weather up here for a slow cooker meal; I will be using mine tomorrow.

Last night, my husband cooked feta and chilli meatballs that had a leek based tomato sauce with bok choy and snow peas on the side. It was delicious.

Just got back from the shops with the supplies for tonight's dinner. I'm going to lightly pan fry some swordfish, make an eggplant relish to go with it and a fennel radicchio and orange salad.

The shops were so busy - must be because of the school holidays - I was lucky to find a parking spot. Next time I think I'll walk unless I'm getting something heavy.....
