Jim, sounds like a great night.
Don't envy you the hangover though.

UT, that's living alright.

Presentation is a big part of good food. And a glistening pig's head doesn't really get the mouth watering. But I'm glad you had a good gig.

Pig's cheek is wonderful.
Never had it BBQ'd, ususally braised or stewed.

Oh come on, what about the styrofoam container they put his head on? Gives it the proper send-off and respect for the dying so that we could eat well etc.

Well I intended to finish off the pasta from the other night.
Garlic and tomato sauce, roasted veg, turkey mince. It was good.

But Mum decided to thaw 2 lamp chops she had in the freezer.
Oddly, she mistook a portion of turkey mince for lamb chops.
And did not realise until seeing thawed turkey mince in the fridge this morning that it was not in fact lamb chops, or anything like them.

Yes I'm a bit cross.
But I accept it was a mistake.
Any temptation to punish her by suggesting she is stupid, senile, careless, uncaring, ignorant etc is just revenge for all the times she treats my Dad's mistakes in the same way.
So I intend to do the ironing this afternoon, to make her feel better. And probably feed the mince to Diz, as I won't be able to stomach 4 mince based meals in one week.

Although... although... If I make a meatloaf, can I freeze that? Even though the raw mince had already been frozen?

I think so. Re-freezing something can ruin the texture of it, it doesn't make it dangerous to eat. If you are making a meatloaf, that's changing the texture already, so I think it would be perfectly fine.

It's come out tasting like stuffing.
Oddly.

I guess the addition of onions, herbs, breadcrumbs and sausagemeat... oh yeah - stuffing.

I think it's over-seasoned. My bad, because the last one I made was so horribly bland.
Mum says it's okay - she's in two minds about freezing the new lamb chops after all and having meatloaf with green beans and mashipots instead.

I am likewise tempted to have meatloaf and bin the pasta - much as I hate food waste, fresh bacon topped meatloaf does look better than dried out pasta...

I did not know there was a bcaon smiliey, Bri! And nope, judging by the ham I am scarfing down with my eggs, not kosher.

Tonight is baked pizza pasta with garlic bread.

For future reference - yes, you can. If you cook meat that's been frozen, you can freeze the cooked dish again. You just shouldn't refreeze the meat raw.
