Menu week ending October 5

I didn't keep track of what we ate every day. Migraines were keeping me from the computer part of the time. But we've had fabulous food!

We went to a family friendly Irish pub to eat Fish and Chips, followed by Sticky Toffee pudding.

At home, we had a British Isles dinner with English bangers (sausages) and colcannon (mashed potatoes with bacon and cabbage).

Dh made "bubble and squeak" from the leftover colcannon. (I could eat bubble and squeak every day.)

We also had welsh rarebit twice. These foods were all immensely popular with our children -- and with us. (Welsh rarebit is going to be served at our home quite frequently.)
