I fried some of last nights mash to make patties with bacon chops
And mustard, now I have wine. Yet for me!

I'm all alone with my wine thank you
People on tv are saying I should eat cauliflower, I mainly like it in cheese form.

You should always do what the people on TV tell you.

I blanched half a leek
and baked it with a diced portobello mushroom, some goats cheese, some creme fraiche and some wholegrain mustard. Served it with a chicken breast wrapped in pancetta and stuffed with goats cheese, honey, rosemary and thyme.

Didn't quite work - putting the chicken on top of the other stuff meant the chicken didn't cook through on the bottom and needed another 5 minutes. But the leek and mushroom thing was awesome.

that would be goat's breast stuffed with chicken cheese
wrapped in pancetta that were actually cleverly disguised strips of red liquorice.

Bit much for a Wednesday night?!

Not really
I needed to use up the leek and the mushroom and the goats cheese so I just threw it all together.

Looked like it had been dropped (not the chicken, chicken wrapped in pancetta looks the business)

As in I wouldn't be arsed

It really wasn't much effort
Flatten chicken breast, put spoonful of goats cheese and spoonful of honey on and sprinkle with herbs, roll up, lay out pancetta, roll chicken up in pancetta.

Chop leek and mushroom, put leek in boiling water for a couple of minutes and then rinse with cold, put both in bottom of bowl and dollop cheese and cream and mustard on, sprinkle a little cheddar on, put chicken breast thingy on top, in the oven. Took maybe 10 minutes tops to prep and 25 minutes in the oven.

This is the key, isn't it.
A little effort goes a long way. I am so glad I shifted my reliance on ready meals. I'm rather smug about it too. I don't make my own croissants though.

Can't underestimate the seasoning that smugness adds to a meal

I'm just getting to the point where I'm prepared to just throw some things together
and it's even more rewarding. Mind you, the amount of cream I use it bloody should be.
