Mmm, midnight feast, as I was peckish... venison sandwich, but the bread drizzled with olive oil and seasoned with freshly ground salt and pepper. Better than expected. Delish, in fact.
Made a lovely pot of soup this afternoon, using a bunch of veggies (onion, carrot, parsnip, celery), pearl barley and some dry-aged beef trimmings that I picked up cheaply in Waitrose.
So had a bowl of that, followed by veggie chilli and triple-cooked chips* in beef dripping.
* still using up the free tatties I found spilled by the side of the road.

I've been souping too, with a couple of free pumpkins a friend gave me. I've learned the lesson of adding plenty of spice (turmeric, cumin, smoked paprika and cayenne pepper, and a couple of stock cubes) to add flavour, but it's a lush colour and flavour now.
Chicken thigh fillets stuffed with home made sage & onion stuffing and then wrapped in bacon*, garlic & herb parmentier potatoes, sprouts, roasted sweet potato chunks, sage & onion stuffing balls and homemade cranberry sauce.
Seasons Eatings, everyone!
* pan fried to sear, then finished off in the oven for 25 mins @ 180C fan
