Cooking for one

PasturesNew

It's Overeating Day in my household

I blame that 10/day thing.

Breakfast: scrambled eggs on toast was intended - added half a tin of beans to get 1/10 in.

Lunch: 1/4 of that lovely pie, mash, carrots (bought 2-3 weeks ago/need using up) .... and then I added peas to make an additional 1/10.

3/10 down .... belly full.

Got a piece of cooked beef out so that will last me over the weekend.

Tonight I am having it with hoisin sauce as a stir fry with carrots peppers sesame seeds onions and some noodles ( I may throw some peas in too) tomorrow i will go down the sunday roast route I think with potatos and veg (see how I feel)

HM Mini apple crumble for pud

Last night, I ended up having mashed potatoes and coleslaw as my throat was too painful for crusty bread and it seemed more like proper comfort, coz I'm poorly, food.

Still feel carp today and have hardly slept again.

No thoughts of any cooking or eating for one today but I do have options if I start feeling better.

Hope you are feeling better sounds as though you need some homemade soup and some tlc (and maybe wine.....:)) if you have any in gin and lemsip is surprisingly palatable and will relieve your symtoms:cool:

Morning Onskis :wave:

This made me laugh on BBC this morning

Are you a pineapple on a pizza lover or not .....Not for me and I agree with Mr Iceland that seafood is the way ahead

Still it would be one of your 10 a day I guess :rotfl:

Haven't stuck my head in the silver box yet this morning so don't know what is going to be on the menu but I can fully guarantee it wont be 10 veg

I LOVE pineapple on pizza. It's practically compulsory.

I don't put it on my own pizzas when I make one as that'd just need one pineapple ring and so it's not practical as I'd then be forced to eat that pineapple in the next few days, whether I fancied it or not (... er, or 'freeze it' ... which isn't a solution).

Maybe to get to that 10/day I could simply accept that I open a tin, stick some on the pizza.... then eat the rest of the tin as dessert 1-2 hours later and be done with it.

I loved that article:D I like pinapple and pizza but not together please. A good seafood pizza is just fab the best one I've ever had was in a tiny, shabby restaurant in Brittany I've never seen so much seafood on top of pizza it was more like a seafood platter and it had a really garlicky tomato sauce was just heavenly:D (though my white t-shirt was never the same afterwards LOL:o)

Not sure what's on the menu tonight baked chicken thighs some way and if I CBA I might make a chorizio, lentil, rice dish to go with it. Wish I had a bag of seafood in but I don't so hey ho..... Definitely need wine tonight as I have had a very early start and a rather stressful morning so some chill time and slight numbing round the edges is required:D

If I lived by the sea I think I could quite happily become a seafood pescatarian.....Moules Marinere one of my faves with chips and mayo We used to have a great restaurant in my local town called Loch Fyne (think they are still around just our one closed down:() and they did a seafood platter like a bit 3 tier cake stand just stuffed full of every conceivable seafood....I was in heaven. I miss that place we dont have any decent seafood restaurants locally now and the supermarkets have very limited stock. I really should move to Padstow

You would think being on the West Coast of Scotland I'd have a surfiet of available seafood but most of what's landed here is either exported or used to supply the Glasgow restaurant trade so not much actually available to buy at the fish market.
I've been to the Loch Fyne Oyster Bar at Loch Fyne a good few times but we were disappointed the last time we went. Nothing actually wrong with the food just wasn't as good as before which was a shame - possibly a victim of it's own success

karcher - hope you are feeling at leasta bit better, havingrecovered myself I can really sympathise

Yesterday did not go to plan regarding easy digestible food on day out, started badly in Waterstone's cafe with a chocolate brownie, then fell completely into disrepute with fish & chips in the Cathedral cafe

I did enjoy them though, and never made me ill again, plus this morning I am two pounds lighter that last Saturday, perhaps I can recommend the Goblin diet?
Plus I grabbed a M & S meal for two a tenner, pork chops option, should do for at least two days

Not today though, I have some stale crusts knocking around, so cheese on toast, tin of beans on top, plus fried eggs on that, and a grilled tom for veg for dinner

Lunch was cheese salad sarnie

Veg count today is thus 5/10, and bread is wholemeal so I should be bursting with health

Do processed cocoa beans [AKA chocolate] count as veg? If so then count is 6/10

I always put pineapple on pizza; it's one of the best parts! I buy fresh pineapples when they're selling them off cheap on the market, get Mr LW to cut them into chunks, and freeze them.

Arent we stupid? I was watching one of the chefs talk about this last week apparently we export nearly all of our langoustines I adore langostines but only really have them when I am abroad. Ironically they are probably scottish.
