Wednesday

Dinner: Lasagna

Thursday
Lunch: Leftover Lasagna
Dinner: Chicken Tikka Masala

Friday
Lunch: Shepherd's Pie
Dinner: ??? It's our fifth anniversary, so I am going to cook something special. Not sure what yet, but open to suggestions. He loves his beef, so thinking along the lines of beef tenderloin / tornedos / chateubriand etc.

Saturday

Dinner: Pork with Ginger and Fresh Plum Sauce

Sunday
Lunch: Sicilian Bonata
Dinner: Leftovers

On to the news. You may have noticed there is a button up top now that directs you to a forum. This is basically a place where you can chat, ask questions, post recipes etc. with other readers. I get so many cool question via email and thought it would be fun if everyone could see them and reply. Feel free to take part - it should be fun!

On a personal note, we received some rather shocking, but exciting news the other night. We will be moving to Tullamore. This was very unexpected and my husbands new job starts effective July 1. We will be in Spain from the 25th of this month to July 3rd and will then start getting into the nitty gritty of moving, so if I'm not as active on here, please forgive me. I'm quite excited about the move, as we will be in a much bigger town, which means brighter culinary exploits. Here we've got a few chippers, a Chinese takeaway or two and a pizza place. Very exciting! I also suspect the supermarkets will carry other fresh herbs than just parsley! ;-)
Right, well I'll be back later today with some recipes - have to go write up my shopping list now! I have one healthy recipe and one not necessarily unhealthy, but a real Irish hearty one! :-)
