We enjoyed the chocolate eggs, the sugared eggs, the chocolate, the Simnel Cake and the Panettone. Then the roast lamb with roast potatoes and veggies, the roasted pork joint and all the trimmings and the hot cross buns. We even had scones with strawberry jam and whipped cream on Good Friday.
Therefore, this week has been the week for restraint and frugality, for eating out of the 'fridge, the freezer and the store cupboard. We've eaten well on home-made chicken dishes, on pancake stacks layered with curried chicken, mushrooms and almonds with rice....
The jacket potatoes with my potted beef with mayo, Parmesan cheese with Rape Seed oil drizzled green salad ...

and Heinz baked beans on white toast, for him, or on toasted sourdough bread for me. Sometimes we had fried eggs with our beans and toast and sometimes just beans and eggs, although one meal had bacon with it too.
Of course, we had to finish up the Simnel Cake and the Panettone, some scones which we toasted and then, at the weekend the remains of a cream and jam filled sponge cake (actually gluten-free) which I made for visiting friends. So, we've done fairly well, during our after Easter week of simple frugal food.....
