Cooking for one

LameWolf

Oh dear, not doing too well on the food stakes today. All I've had all day is a handful of bran flakes with a small sliced banana and a sploosh of milk for brekkie, and about an hour ago a small cheese sandwich and a mug of vegetable soup. And I feel absolutely stuffed.

No point in eating if you're not hungry maybe you'll fancy something later

Pastures New, Carnoc etc can I be really cheeky and ask how old you all are?

Of course I'll be really offended if you say !!!!!! off!

Dunno if I come in with the "etc" but I'm 56. I just feel about 90.

I hope so - Mr LW gets on my case something rotten when I don't eat.
Unfortunately this is fairly common for me; I very often go for weeks living on the bare minimum because I just can't face food. What I don't get is how I still manage to stay half a stone overweight. :think:
I think at least a part of the problem at the moment is that there's been a lot of discussion about this new "recommendation" for 10-a-day of F&V, and I do know that if I think too much about food, I go right off the idea of eating - it's almost like I need to be distracted from the fact that I'm eating to actually do it, if that makes any sense at all.

Glad your trip back was better hope your cold doesn't linger. If you leave your pizza dough a bit thicker in the middle it's less likely to tear. Or roll between greaseproof and just slide the bottom paper and the pizza on to the tray.:) (that's what I do though they still tend to be shaped like Australia LOL:o)

Cheers, I'd take Australia shaped as long as the sauce and toppings have something to stay on.

I'm fancying a jacket potato with beans and cheese, now I have a potato, half a tin of beans from Wednesday and plenty of cheese. The problem is I don't have a bog standard cheese so any suggestions as to whether sage Derby, Wensleydale with cranberries or very ripe brie would work best?

I somertimes find if I cook a big meal by the time it's served I can't eat it. That's why I tend to prep as much as possible the day before if I'm having folk round I wouldn't get stressed at the 10 a day they are still saying 5 is the official recommendation more would seem to be better but some is better than none at all:)

It's would be sage derby for me if there are beans

I guessed you were in my vicinity, I'm in killie. Arran is lovely just now with a snowy Goat Fell

Looks like we're all much of a similar age around these parts, I'm 51 in April. Though often feel much older creaky body wise and much younger mentally! :cool:

Lame Wolf I'm sorry to hear today's not a good one x
