A freezing cold day on which we both went back to work called for a good home cooked meal this evening, and I think that's exactly what we had.
Once again I called upon one of my favourite, every day, cook books; 101 Cheap Eats
. This book, and its partner 101 Simple Suppers
, is a key part of after work cooking in our house. Both provide some fantastic simple and tasty recipes that are generally easy enough to do after a day at work and provide us with a good hearty meal.

Incredibly simple, especially using my Kenwood
to make the topping (simple self raising flour, butter, mixed herbs and milk) whilst doing some other things around the flat. It tasted delicious and was a lovely warming meal after the bitterly cold walk home from the station.

There was a bit of a laugh in the making of this. I realised last night that I was lacking an onion, so in my lunch break today I popped out to buy an onion and to take some things to the post office. After a 25 minute queue to post my letters and packages (why do they not have more staff on at lunctime?) I was in a bit of rush, so I just went to the market stall in Strutton Ground. I was somewhat amazed with what I was given as the smallest onion that they had.
It weighed in at a whopping 550g and was simply huge! I only needed half of it for tonight's dinner so the other half is wrapped up in the fridge for another meal. A monster onion – I just dare not think where it came from!
