Morning all

Bbrrrrrrrrrr....still freezing here....know I'm a southern softie compared to some of our friends 'oop north...but -8 overnight was far too cold for me!!:eek:

Still on warming comfort food here. Toast for brekkie, soup for lunch and am having a bash at making a stew tonight (never done one before!:eek:)

Tasteless curry last night made out of a jar (that should never happen :eek: ), unrinsed rice that looked like rice pudding with boiled eggs that had been stirred into the curry a little to heavy handedly and broke into bits last night :cool:

I am hoping that OH is off out tonight, please send going out vibes

Merry crimbo Lurkins and to all my other patrons, gonna be a rocky month in Chez1972, roll on 2011

Hot choklit for brekkie

Bit chilly here too this morning. Too many motorists not being mindful of the ice on the way in, made a really tiresome journey. What is so difficult to understand about 'its minus 6 outside and the roads are shiny' :think:

Too many brain-dead idiots being allowed driving licenses is the problem Pen - glad you made it safely.

Considering Porridge for brekkie here - not had it in ages but am seriously tempted this morning and i have oats and milk in. Hmmm. Lunch will be pasta, pesto and parmesan, and dinner tonight I haven't made my mind up yet. Might be tacos actually, although I'll need to get the mince out to defrost if I'm heading down that route.

Following a suggestion on my thread, one of my jobs for today / the weekend is to do a longer term meal plan/list, that I can plan from a week at a time. Seems like a good idea, and a good way of working through the contents of my freezers, storecupboard & larder.

*going out vibes* in the direction of Jo's OH - actually, would you prefer "Going out and not coming back" vibes?!

Perhaps this will work jo! Hope you can have a lovely evening to yourself.

Agree EH that I should get a bit more meal planning done. I always plan but meals have been a bit samey lately. I need to work on a longer list of choices.

Baked beans here, I love them. Good to get something hot inside you to start the day. Oops:o

Undecided for tea. Probably chicken jumbalaya as I have all ingredients in but if I get to shops might be something else a bit quicker.

Today's special is HM chicken kiev (chicken escalope burger on the kids menu)

He didn't go out but out tonight instead

He is seriously pi$$ing me off. Spent the entire evening in the kitchen last night watching telly. Can't sit in the same room as him. I went into the living room at 10pm and said night and walked out, he not happy cos he was taping celebrity jungle to watch when I came in but I watched it in the kitchen.

He's not talking to me this morning. Hard this is

Do I stop it all now or wait till new year?
