Visitors for the weekend and a dash to be well prepared. Online shopping is such an excellent idea but the choice of menu is never easy. Plenty of baking in advance and ready in the freezer - a few multigrain loaves, a lemon drizzle cake, chocolate brownies and a courgette loaf. For main meals there is frozen courgette and pea soup with loads of garlic and then what? Lasagne and moussaka are usually good stand bys - lasagne with roasted vegetables a popular choice and yet another way to use up all the courgettes and moussaka made with griddled courgettes in place of the aubergine. Some ratatouille with added courgettes to eat with tagliatelle or spaghetti then, for a special meal, my favourite fish stew or a fish pie.
So the weekend menu includes a simple breakfast, lunch out and an evening meal of fish stew followed by syllabub and Sunday breakfast out at a local restaurant followed by an afternoon tea to include sandwiches made from homemade bread and a selection of defrosted cakes and freshly made or bought scones.
