Actually I always think how yummy and varied your meal plans sound, especially since you are catering for one.
I get the feeling one of your secrets is batch cooking esp. the casseroles.

Thanks Crafty Batch cooking is the ONLY way I can eat healthily while cooking for one. When work was less pressured I was very good about doing stir-fries pretty much every evening, but it just doesn't seem to work anymore. Lunch today has been lentil & spinach soup; crackers, pate (needs eating up...) and beetroot. I know I need to eat more fresh/green veg, but am really not that excited by salad right now, so will try to cook it into my meals.

Not much flying done yet.Im with BG and been looking at their EnergySmart offer but cant make my mind up whether to go with it.

Now that I CAN help with what tariff are you currently on?

Freezer is now full, so need to do the meal planning so I know what needs to come out - and will cook the odd thing to add too. I want to make a sweet potato, red lentil & ginger soup, parsnip soup and carrot soup. I've located roast veg (potatoes, beetroot, pumpkin) in the freezer which should be eaten soon too. So this week will be about eating lots of fresh stuff and freezing extra portions for later in the month. Second batch of stock is on, and beans are cooking for another soup. Sausage & split pea casserole also being made, so that's tonight's supper sorted out. I may need to get a cold bag and some ice-packs out though... or get people over to help me eat some of the stuff during the week.

I also need to decide what to feed people next weekend.

Fan is now safely stored in the shed, and the christmas tree is down and cluttering up the garden. Decs are on their way to the chest of drawers in the spare room.

greenbee - i was thinking exactly the same about wasting time on here!.

That's why I've not been on so far today, I need to spend more time actually flying and less time on the flylady thread :rotfl:

Decluttered a melolin dressing and some micropore tape onto NN's foot and left her fresh supplies. She managed to spill some hot fat from her roast potatoes tin last night onto her foot and she has a lovely blistered burn there.

I hope NN is ok. I'd of had her sitting with her foot in a bowl of very cold water for an hour! When DS2 burnt his neck on soup at a football match the nurse put a hydrocolloid dressing on it and it heal beautifully and stopped it being sore.

I've been tidying in and outside the house all day. Time to update my list. Just waiting for the footie to finish on the tv so I can hoover in their next.
