    Love radio in kitchen, mine is battery job, tuned to radio 4 so no singing along, just me swearing at some of the [STRIKE]plonkers[/STRIKE] experts as they waffle on, I have to turn it off sometimes due to extreme stupidity puking from it

    Tonight I have gone very domestic, home made celery & potato soup, very thick and plopped couple of large spoonfuls of cream cheese in it, quick blitz with my hand held stick thingy and job done. Now cooked and maturing until evening, perhaps with a bap

    Lunch was part baked baguette, with cheese salad innards

    Feeling very healthy mealtimes today, and not a pie in site :cool:

    I love a good row with the radio too :) I have recently found LBC which is just solid debate and phone in so plenty of opportunities for a shout at the radio particularly when Nigel Farage is hosting :eek:

    That soup sounds gorgeous and very healthy :T

    I just knocked up a quick peach crumble and custard.... it's resting at the moment, but I'll tuck into it shortly.

    EDIT: Ate some of that, but got another portion loitering now.

    Decided on a homemade cheese burger and coleslaw for dinner ..now whether to do some wedges as well

    :eek: Spooky :eek:

    I actually made an executive decision about dinner this morning as I have 3 burgers which have been in the freezer for ever!! :p

    They are all in the same pack so got them all out to defrost during the day and had already decided to have them with HM coleslaw.

    As they are now defrosted I can't change my mind even if I don't 'fancy' them later. :p

    I have no burger buns, potatoes or oven chips so am thinking of making some flatbreads and shoving a burger and some coleslaw in one folded in half!

    I could if I was [STRIKE]being greedy[/STRIKE] really hungry. :cool:

    I probably won't eat them all. I'll cook them all though and have what I don't eat [STRIKE]for breakfast[/STRIKE] tomorrow :D..chances are I'll just have one on it's own and one in a flatbread, they are only small :o.

    Does that make me a greedy lard A*se! :rotfl:

    An excellent choice if I may say so :rotfl:

    No.... but to pre-arrange to cook/pile up three on a plate, with flatbreads and coleslaw, without a thought you might have some tomorrow .... is a bit piggy wiggy. :)

    I've just eaten crumble/custard. OMG I wish I hadn't .... too much. I'd had a jacket spud/cheese earlier and just made this crumble on a whim, then ate half - and now I am sooooo stuffed I feel ill.

    Right now I don't think I can face eating again for another week.

    The crumble had half a can of peaches, 30 grams of crumble topping and 1/3rd of a packet of custard mix.
