Had pasta with a tomato sauce last night - sauce was made with fresh seeded tomatoes, onions, garlic and red wine all cooked for about 45 mins - flavour was amazing! 
Looking at the weather forecast for later this week I decided to get some dishes organised so that I won't need to cook! I had some smoked tofu in the fridge so cooked it in the oven in a a strawberry, prossecco and chilli jam that I had open - I'll eat that tonight with Mediterranean potatoes and hm hommous.
I've also made a random dish with courgette, red pepper, onions, garlic, chickpeas, carrot jam (made with star anise) and red cabbage relish- the jam and relish were in the fridge so decided to use them up by chucking them in 😉 I'll have that tomorrow with buckwheat. 
I have a box of chickpeas in the fridge leftover from cooking them yesterday so will use those later in the week with garden produce - I have a large courgette due to not seeing it so will do some type of stuffed courgette with that!

I've been having a bit of a life rethink recently (birthday coming up so no surprises there 😉) and decided that I  am getting very little from these boards these days - I used to find them very uplifting and supportive but over the past few months many of the threads I subscribe to have been incredibly negative, full of holier than thou comments and generally pretty depressing 😔 Upshot is, I'm getting rid of my account- I just wanted to come on to let those people who have contributed in any way and to say thank you to all of you - your encouragement has meant a lot to me over the years and I'm incredibly grateful for that and thank you all 😊  I wish you all a happy and prosperous future x

Oh, that is a shame. I was finding the Going Out Again thread rather annoying to be honest. Bickering about nothing. Maybe it's just people have been cooped up inside too long.

Also sorry to see you go squirrel. I’m back on whole food plant based after couple of years off and have really enjoyed your posts. Sorry not to post in return. 

I do understand about negative posts and try to ignore. 

Wishing you well x

Ooh Squirrel, what about the frugal living challenge or the turtles on debt free wannabe? I don’t have debt but love reading their threads. Really supportive folks. Many don’t have debt so don’t be put off by the title!

I'm sorry to hear that. This is one of favourite threads and has really inspired me during lockdown. Best wishes if you decide to go, but I secretly hope you stay. Xx

I understand that you feel this isn't a place you wish to be right now. You will be missed

Sorry to see you go squirrelgirl, your posts have been very helpful to me, and I'm sure many others. 

Going to attempt to bake a courgette loaf today, baking isn't my strong point, or cooking in general really, but I have some homegrown courgettes I was given and a loaf will be great to take to work.
