Not seen one of these on here so, just for fun What did you last make. This was tonight's, inspired by Rick stein [upl-image-preview url=https://i.imgur.com/Z9G1RgW.jpeg] [upl-image-preview url=https://i.imgur.com/gcthImI.jpeg]

We’re both vegan but managed to find some fantastic cook books: Griddled asparagus with garlic white bean purée on sourdough Then Roast celeriac and walnut pesto with porcini red wine lentils and spring greens. Delicious! [URL=https://i.imgur.com/SGzKx0o.jpg][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/SGzKx0o.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=https://i.imgur.com/lguibe1.jpg][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/lguibe1.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Todays offering Catalan hooked beans with spiced cod. (substituted borlotti beans) [upl-image-preview url=https://i.imgur.com/5e2AuMI.jpeg]

Chicken satay with home-made marinade and sauce, grilled on coals. Disappeared very quickly.

Peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies…No picture as they're all gone😋 As I'm retired but my other half is not, I'm the designated head chef and bottle washer so I do virtually all the cooking. Last night was home-made steak pie, carrots, green beans and skin on buttery mash with lashings of gravy. Tonight as her in doors is having fish and even though I come from Portsmouth I hate the taste of anything that doesn't breath fresh air and lives in water except cress, I'll be tucking into my normal fall back position of beans (flavoured with a dash of chipotle paste) on toast with a sprinkle of good strong cheddar cheese on the top. Hmm… thinking about it, I just might pimp it up with a couple of strips of smoked bacon too.

Not convinced it counts as being made, but the last thing I cooked was pizza. The last thing I made was Tuesday evening when I made a "clear the odd bits" special so there was pasta and pan fried spinach gnocchi, homemade egg fried rice with spinach, peas, onion, garlic, baby corn and a few other bits along with a tomato and mozzarella sauce and then some bits of crispy bacon, chorizo and pine nuts and some mushrooms baked with a bit of red wine and soy sauce. Incredibly random but cleared bits out of the fridge and store cupboard. It all disappeared quite quickly so that's always a good sign!

Pompeyexile conservatory? Came in handy then

Pompeyexile

The floor in the lounge hall and some of the kitchen are all coming up. Too right about the conservatory. Had a solid roof put on it last year so it is a proper room now and yes without that and the back bedroom we would have had to hire storage and a van. It was a case of house furniture tetras 😀

It was a great change in the law, a proper roof allows it to be used all year round…not just 4 months a year. Increases house value as well.

Amberale

Nice floor joists.
12 × 2s?

Pompeyexile

9 × 2. and not a hint of any rot.

Just had some good news. We initially thought some would have to be replaced but it seems not. Where they are fixed to the original fireplace hearth they were coming away which is what caused te floor to sag. Plus the original builders didn’t put any supporting wall down the middle. This has now been sorted and the floor is now nice and solid. Just having insulation put inbetween the joists now. Next up the hallway and kitchen.
