Countdown to Freedom

Good morning, only 7.32am and just over £10 from TCB OPd and a further £80 OP. 86p Tilly a tidied to MOS - this really does add up :T

Physio appointment today, dropping DK in town and a trip to B@@ts again. However, in order to save fuel, I'll do one round trip so DK will need to be ready.

Mr T has gone North this morning. Only for the day and back this evening. DS is making spaghetti with smoked salmon and lemon again - it as so delicious the last time, it's been requested.

DD is paying her pennies into the bank today - she's brought a jar full of coppers home from Uni.

I hope everyone has a good day - looks like the summer may return

The plans sound brilliant, Tilly - and I'm so glad 2015 is on the up for you, you sounded so ill - and you're still not there, as you've still got physio. Still, that should help ... have a lovely day, I shall imagine you sitting near the borders of your garden, admiring all the plants

Afternoon, more physio today, as well as yesterday. All things going well.

More adventuring this Saturday and DD sets off on her travels in Friday. It will be odd having her away for almost two months, but she's going to have a fab time.

I'm going to spend some time creating a spreadsheet now - may as well remember what a keyboard looks like. Work beckons and I will be glad to see people and catch up.

Money - nothing until payday but everything is heading southwards in terms of mortgage which is excellent.

Dinner this evening is HM bacon quiche (bargainous 30p bacon), HM coleslaw and salad from the garden. Dessert will be poached pears in something, just not sure what :rotfl:

Have a good evening. Tilly x x

Well the bacon was 30p - HM pastry, one large pot of creme fraiche, two eggs, and one small red onion. Fed four of us, with a huge salad, one roast red pepper (39p from Mr L) and the left over coleslaw from the other evening.

DD made dinner - I'm so glad we can all cook

Best wishes x x x x

HM coleslaw and salad ....

Ha! Tills - Great minds think alike! We had HM coleslaw for tea too And salad leaves, but unfortunately I had to look to mrL to provide, rather than the back garden Accompanied by 2 types of HM bean burgers (using up freezer contents, can you tell?) Some chopped cherry tomatoes on the side too. Was yummy

What's in your coleslaw? I don't like raw onion, so always make mine with white or red cabbage (or a mix if I have both), carrots, celery, some caraway seeds, a spot of wine vinegar and a little mayo, S&P The cabbage in tonight's coleslaw was the EDV cabbage I got from mrT the other week - very impressed with it, as it was a crunchy and yummy as a 'conventional' hard cabbage, even though it wasn't the same variety I don't think......

Evening Greying, I used two carrots, a little celery, red onion and half a pointy cabbage - I'd used the top end for something else, so had the stem which was crunchy. Added Mayo, white wine vinegar and a little tahini - finished with a sprinkling of HG chilli flakes (last yrs crop) - delicious

I fancy carroway seeds in a salad - will give that a go


I'm off to water the veggies - night, Tilly x x

Mr MWC makes a good coleslaw...

1/2 sweetheart cabbage, finely shredded
1 large carrot, finely shredded
4 sticks celery, thinly sliced, plus celery leaves to serve
2 echalion shallots, thinly sliced, soaked in cold water and then drained
1 apple, cored and thinly sliced

Mix together mayo, horseradish and yogurt. Season. Combine the other ingredients, mix in the dressing and scatter over the celery leaves.
