    Cheese & tomato omelette:)

    OH's packed lunch was hm bread with cheese & coleslaw - blitzed together in the mini-chopper so it's not 'wet'. Plus some cherry tomatoes, bag of crisps, an apple and a hm hobnob.

    Chicken stew made with chicken drumsticks (bones removed after cooking), vegetables (onion, tomato, green beans, carrot, mushrooms) & chickpeas. I made 3 portions yesterday night, only takes about 20 min on the pressure cooker and that's 3 lunches sorted out for this week :)

    The other two my OH is cooking pasta salad with pesto. (pasta, rocket, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls & pesto sauce)

    Well the plan was for home made hummus and veg and I am having that but as it is so cold I'm having Emergency Soup as well - I expect some of you will go "ewww!" at this :rotfl:It's one chicken stock cube - Knorr type not Oxo, plus one vermicelli nest (about 20g) boiled up in about 250ml water - reduce the water down to thicken the broth slightly. The trick is to find a stock cube you really like. I suppose you could tart it up a bit but I don't - it's Emergency Soup not posh food :rotfl:

    I make this too but add spring onions, chilli flakes and either garlic or ginger to mine oh and soy sauce mmmm.

    I've just had Pastie,Mushy Peas & Chips.These are Norn Iron pasties which are often scoffed as a 'pastie bap' from the chippy,a bit like a burger.Mine come from my butchers at 80p each.Couldn't make them as I've no idea what's in them!
    Mushy Peas are a 32p tin from Lidl's,with a splash of Mint sauce to give it a mintyness.I can reccomend the Lidl's Mushy Peas,first time I've tried them but they're lush!

    I would love a Norn Irish pastie. I frequently crave them having been brought up in Belfast. You can't buy them in England anywhere. I have not been to Belfast for 5 years and crave some of the local foods! Pasties, beef sausages, vegetable roll and cinnimon lozengers!! Beef sauages here are not the same.!!!!

    What you call "emergency soup" i call quick and tasty! Admittedly when I do it I add a spoon of frozen veg or ripped up cabbage and some flour to thicken, maybe even herbs and lentils. But it's still very much a case of "I'm cold, let's throw this stuff together and add heat!".

    I defrosted some sausages for breakfast yesterday but had a couple leftover. I couldn't refreeze them so I cooked the lot yesterday morning and brough the leftover sausages into work today. I heated them up at work in the microwave and had them on a ciabatta also warmed up with melted cheese and ketchup. It was yummy!

    I had a white bap with a slice of luncheon meat (the kind with egg in the middle), cucumber and mayo inside. It was horrible, gave most of it to the dog :(
