Pies from Tesco

Was in the North last weekend and brought back some pies from Tesco. Steak and kidney and Steak. Heated them in the oven last night for dinner. I was delayed a bit in work (looking at cameras on the web for the last half hour if I am honest) so did not have time to make the lentil and egg curry from Delia book 1. That's at least 2 abortive attempts at that dish mid week. With a new baby in the house, that really is too ambitious for a mid week snaffle. Maybe a Friday night special, but I would not count on it.

Boiled up some potatoes - nice enough roosters, but at this time of year none of them are perfect. Certainly not Irish ones. The weather is particularly poxy. Apparently a lot of the potato crop is still in the ground and is frozen there to rot. Not a good situation for the farmers.
Few tips of asparagus steamed on top of some frozen sweetcorn and frozen peas. Minimal work when knackered.
Even some HP sauce did not liven this one up much. A pretty dismal offering, even for a Wednesday.
Must try harder.
