We spend money we don't have, on things that we don't need, to impress people we don't like. I don't and I'm happy!

Here we go again - doesn't time go quickly? :shocked:
My meal plan this week is mostly from the freezer / cupboards as, once again, I've been so efficient at stocking up on bargains that I'm running out of room!
Friday - grilled field mushroom with red pesto and grated spring onion cheese (bought from a farmers' market and very :drool: indeed), with polenta wedges and salad
Saturday - garlic mushroom and creme fraiche pizza
Sunday to Thursday:
spicy prawn and chard noodles
pasta with chicken, chard and red pesto
chilli con carne with HM bread
southern fried chicken salad (or SFC with beans and a jacket potato if the weather takes a turn for the chilly
)
roast veg lasagne
I made a batch of olive rolls last weekend and they were so good I'll be making some more tomorrow.
Back after a very long break!0 -

Hello all! I've been gone the last few weeks as my life has changed in just about every way. I've moved from London to Uganda, am living in a shared house instead of as a couple and have started a new job. Bit of a whirlwind!
I'm still coming to grips with the new food selection, so this week is a bit tame:
tonight - Guacamole and sangria night in with my roomate
Tomorrow - friend coming over for lunch - going to make a big Israeli lunch with greek salad, shakshuka, bread and watermelon / cheese salad. No dinner as going out to 80s party
Sunday - pasta pesto
Monday - moroccan spiced aubergine with rice and yoghurt
Tuesday - leftovers
Wednesday - out for roomate's birthday
Thursday - veggie curry night in
have a good weekend, everyone!Mortgage free by 30:eek:: £28,000/£100,000
