5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

VickyA_2

Hi all,

Sorry, I haven't had time to look at other people's pleasures. I'll try to catch up tomorrow.

Mine for the day:

1) Yellow sticker pasta sauce for supper (with pasta!!)

2) Busy day at work. Not a pleasure, necessarily, but definitely meant that there was little time to think!

3) Wearing my Hello Kitty slippers with a pair of socks with Australian animals on. I can confirm that DH almost died laughing.

4) Bought snacks for work - it's my birthday tomorrow.

5) Being taunted/tormented by a leaflet for adventures in Canada. I would love to visit my cousin there, but it's just so expensive.

mcculloch - Is that 'the paupers cookbook' by Jocasta Innes? I have it (one of my favourite bathtime reads!) I think I've tried about 3 of the recipes so far 50p from the library unwanted bin:D

The Pauper's Cookbook is one that I have, I got the 'New Paupers' Cookbook' - not as good - from OUR library unwanted bin.
The Pauper's Cookbook has just been re-issued for anyone interested. It's a cult book for sure.
No, this new - to - me one is called 'Eatability'.
My favourite Pauper's recipes are:
Firstly the onion, bacon and potato hotpot. I want to try this with finely sliced tinned potatoes, and prefrying onions and bacon, as the finely sliced raw spuds take AGES to cook in the sauce.
Secondly, the bacon, onion and apple fry-up. This is lovely and makes a nice pastie or pie filling too. The liver au poivre we make with lambs' liver, and I've just remembered the bacon and noodle pie that I haven't made in years. I tried the Alsatian onion tart and the latkes as well, I seem to recall, and there must have been others.

Just checking in before I turn in.

1. Like Kittikins, getting through the day at work.
2. A 'chat' with DD on Facebook, at no cost to anyone.
3. An interesting creation in the slow cooker - a tiny bit of steak, cut up into pieces; one carrot; two small onions; some wrinkly mushrooms; left over stock and gravy from the chops this evening. Should be a nice casserole for two tomorrow.
4. Book club this evening .. I was hoping for a glass of left over wine to put in the above but we drank it all! Conversation was sparkling as a result.
5. Someone was selling off spare books at work for 10p each.

Hope tomorrow goes smoothly for all posters and lurkers.

Thank you for your kind thoughts, I've just been awol as I've had so much on my plate recently and really needed to catch up with myself, so the puter has taken a back seat.

1. made a midnight blue silk top by hand as the sewing machine decided to go on strike. Very difficult due to rapidly progressing arthritis in both hands but it turned out very well if I do say so m'self
2. the garden is a mass of yellow, makes me smile every time I look out of the window
3. Had the car valeted today, not at all OS but they did a far better job for £13 than I could have done and it's only once or twice a year.
4. Lived from the fridge for the past few days so it's now empty of perishables. I look like a salad.
5. House cleaned and bags packed for tomorrow's tour of Haworth, Blackpool, Preston, Haworth then home. DGD1 moving in for the duration to house-sit for me so I know it will be well cared for

Hugs to all, take care n sweet dreams

Thank goodness - oh sparrer, shan't intrude, but truly relieved to see your post, just as I was shutting down.
Have a wonderful break - sounds as if it couldn't be better-timed.
