Making chicken feed of my mortgage

muddywhitechicken

I stumbled across Frump to Fab 2016 last night :T I really do need to make a bit more of an effort...

BUT I found out this afternoon that my hairdresser of 20 years is taking early retirement and moving away :eek: happy for her sad for me Last appointment is in 6 weeks time and then I need to find a replacement - dreading it...

I'm planning to read the first chapter of Smarter Investing this evening :T

muddy - I've not used this recipe, but I was looking for interesting things to do with runner beans, and came across one that utilises tempeh. Only 120g of it, but still!

Sambal French and runner beans with tempeh

Thanks Greying :T

My runner bean seeds haven't germinated - I may have to buy runner beans :eek:

We had Laura Wright's sesame garlic noodles with broccoli, basil & crispy tempah for dinner yesterday. It was ok but I didn't think it was up to her usual deliciousness but, after we'd eaten, Mr MWC realised he'd forgotten to add the spring onion and basil :doh:

I stopped at a roadside stall selling local organic plums, greengages and damsons yesterday but the cherry orchard near where I work hasn't been open to the public this year

Went to bed at 03:30 so needless to say I'm a bit lethargic today - need to pull my finger out and do a bit of housework as The Dads & That Woman are due at 16:00

OMGoodness - be prepared to take out a 2nd mortgage then :eek: They are a horrendous price. Substitute french beans?

The roadside stall sounds grand. Not alot like that around here

Right, off for a picnic - only to the local park, and only taking what we would have had for lunch anyway, but still

Dinner was lovely - beer can chicken, southern-style potato salad, sure fire 'slaw & corn on the cob followed by roast plums served with yogurt, toasted almonds & honey - shame about the company...

muddy - were the 'Hang Fire' girls on C0untryf1le with Matt Baker a couple of weeks ago? I didn't see the whole prog, just at the end where they were on a beach somewhere and set a barbie going. The only reason I ask is because I assumed incorrectly that they were american recipes in orgin and then saw where the restaurant was located. Have you been there?

No idea Greying - sorry - and we haven't been to Barry! The book was Mr MWC's birthday present from my brother.

I'm feeling a little more groomed - facial on Friday afternoon, haircut yesterday, tidy nails, work clothes ironed so I'll have time to squirt perfume and put a bit of lippy on before leaving the house tomorrow morning

I'm glad the dinner was so good, MWC - sounds like the company was as bad as you were dreading

Grooming! Oh dear ... if there's a naughty step for adults, you'll find me there. Good to hear you're looking a bit posh today

A combined age of 220 and they were bickering like children... :mad:

I wouldn't go that far KC!
I was halfway to work before realising that I'd forgotten the perfume... :doh:
