Just when I thought I was getting there…boom…struck down with the dreaded lurgy mid-week and been living on soup supplies and fruit for about 4 days, only starting to get my appetite back today.

Can’t remember how long since my last post but I’m thinking over the past 12-14ish days

Out = ½ pkt scampi, oven chips portions x 2, green beans, black pudding slices x 2, lorne sausage slices x 2, portion of baked beans, chicken in oyster sauce, beef stew, pakora, chicken curry, ½ tin corned beef, bread rolls x 2, bread slices x 4, hm scones x 2, sausage & bean chilli, keema curry, bratwurst x 1.
Soups out = broth x 1, lentil x 2, minestrone x 1.

Used up = white pudding, Greek yogurt, spring onions, baby tomatoes, brussel sprouts, fresh pineapple, prunes, pears, apple, sauerkraut.

I love it too and am lucky my local sainsbugs stocks a speyside one. I do however prefer a home made one like my mother used to always serve up at Christmas; haven’t made that for ages I’m sure I still have the bag somewhere must look it out


Out – ½ pkt raw prawns, 2 small avocado halves, bread rolls, leek & potato soup.

Oh HM white pudding that sounds divine - is it boiled in a "dumpling bag" rather than stuffed in a skin? I've only made skirlie before which is great but not the same.
In: nothing
Out: pastrami, lentil soup, peas, corn

Yes same as the dumpling process. Mum used to make a batch of skirlie, and had a small muslin bag she had sewn up herself, soaked it in boiling water, squeezed it out put the skirlie in, tied it up and immersed in simmering stock I think for about 40mins, removed from the bag and allowed it to dry out a bit in a warm oven.

Oh that sounds very doable thanks:)

Since last Sunday, received my online grocery order. These products were mainly those that I regularly use. Had two bicycle trips out Xmas shopping but did not buy any food for myself.

Not been so well recently and perhaps similar to Need2bthrifty, this has affected my appetite and food choices? Today, having a go at making homemade yoghurt.
