Well - a long time off posting but i have had a difficult time this year with my son's health and my husband working away.
Yet again when the going gets really tough i turn to the 1940s to help get me through it. Having been frugal for a few months i decided to go back on the ration. I have noticed that the total cost of the same food has increased by over £20 since last summer. I stocked up on loads of veg and all the ration basics. My meat ration is :
1 small packet of chicken ( 300g)
1 small packet of pigs cheeks ( my kids love this casserole ) 200g
1 brisket joint

off ration i included 1lb of sausages , which were un rationed but more difficult to come by.


This week i intend to cook :
Pot roast brisket ( sunday dinner with lots left), potatoes and all veg
Stuffed marrow (using some of the meat from the sausages)

todays meal plan :

Potato cakes ( left over mash) , bacon ( 1 slice ) and mushrooms

Lentil soup and bread ( made with the ham stock- 5 portions and one in the freezer)

fish curry

i have already made tomorrows dinner which is a baked bean and pork dish. It smells lovely and will be ready to eat when i get home from a long day and my husband is away.


I think some cake baking will also be in the offing too !


Enjoy !
