SORRY that I have been so quiet on this page lately xx

A lot has happened because was supposed to have new kitchen fitted earlier this month but everything went to 💩 so it’s getting done October now x

This week though I was determined to get pantry stocked with stewing steak ready for colder days and got an offer of 1.5kg for £17.50 so bought 9 kg 🤪 and I pressure canned 24 jars of 400g in each x David Bennett used one to try last night and OMG it was beautiful x
Getting prepared because prices are only going to go up with the hot summer and farmers having to feed the cows hay through the summer not just winter x

Hope everyone is doing okay 👌 and promise to post more x

BUT David Bennett got a tray of cherries 🍒 in Tesco with a good old yellow sticker down from £6 to £2 they will make fantastic pie filling tonight to go into the freezer for crumble and pies when the cold weather comes around again x

LOVING OUR FOOD JOURNEY THESE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS 😜 and of course I love Dave 🥰 (that’s a given 💋)
