Cooking for one

Does the bag on my rollator count? It's not very glam (plain black) and though the rollator itself is red. It's a 3 wheeled job so pretty nifty but folk still walk into it!!!! No name but generally referred to as "my wheels":). It's fairly easy to manouevre and has brakes though it's not hugely "car friendly" even folded.

I would have loved fresh tarragon but could not find any so had to use dried.

I did find fresh rosemary and used a couple of sprigs to make chips yesterday in the actifry which were lovely.

This is pretty much my one http://www.betterlifehealthcare.com/view/lightweight-tri-walker-with-bag/9550/?ref=google_base&gclid=CO2syoHAotQCFUlsGwodT5gC_Q it's fab but would be better if the handles folded for my sister's car:cool:
Elona thanks- I have dried tarragon so must try and use it.:) No creme fraiche but I've cream in the freezer and yoghurt & cream cheese in the fridge (and chicken & turkey breast in the freezer)

Mine is like this, but the pattern is different/larger.

So I'd not wish to be lumbered with any name based on this one.

There are so many pretty patterns aren't there.

I'll probably buy myself one I "like" for Xmas... or in the January sales ... or sometime.

(I should say ... it's not tartan. It is a respectable pattern/colour, just not what I'd have chosen if I were paying full price). This one cost me £4.

It was a really good buy at £4 and a good idea to get one from a car boot sale to see if having one was going to work for you. I would have done the same if I could have got hold of a second hand one. I did scan the local sale pages on Facebook but there wasn't anything there.


You will have to name the next one instead of this one


I had a look at the link for one that you put up and I like that one, it is pretty, so one with a similar but larger pattern sounds nice.

If we're going to name our trollies.... I don't want/like Trolley Dolley really ... I need to think of a better name before it gets set in concrete.

So, do you want it to rhyme with Trolley?

Wally (Walter), Molly, Polly, Holly, Lolly, Jolly etc

Or do you want a touch of humour?

- You pull it behind you so... Shep (like a dog and a timely tribute to John Noakes), Scooby Do, Muttley

- Nellie - because she packed her trunk...

- It's a beast of burden so Dobby, Eeyore or Muffin?

- It's your 'emplyee' so Jeeves or Manuel etc. Lewis (Morse's assistant), Rodney (Delboy's second in command).

Or a name with a touch of irony?

Mr T (as in The A Team), Mini Me, The Truck, The convertible, The Rolling Stone etc

We should have a competition and the winner gets one of your famous tomato sandwiches (should be nicely squidgy having been through the post) and a bag of your favourite choccies :rotfl:.

That's the trouble with stuff - it's never there when you're looking for it is it. I was bl00dy lucky that it was high on my list of things to watch out for ... and I went to 2 boots. There was one at the first boot for £4, but it was red with big white spots and a strange hooked handle shape... so I reluctantly walked away from that... and the next boot I was more actively seeking as I KNEW I had already spotted one.... and I was lucky. Very lucky. Anything at a cheap price is not as easy to discover as people make out.

I actually thought I'd not find one, nor at a good price, at a boot sale because ... life doesn't work like that does it

I like that - I immediately thought that when it misbehaves I could tell it off.... like when (I forget I am holding it and let go) it falls over I could say "Get UP Shep!".

Me trying to traverse life is like a circus, so that'd work.

I'm not of the Commanding Classes, so it would be difficult to carry that off well without looking like a Care in the Community client

LOL. Somebody needs a proper hobby!

Sunday. Dry. I think I don't like the pitta breads I bought- they're of the "big/floppy" variety, quite large ... I really wanted the sort of index card sized ones.

I should be making sandwiches .... perchance to venture out ... with "Shep" (trying the name for size) ..... but big floppy pitta breads are making me feel despondent about my life choices.

Breakfast will be Honey Nut Cornflakes (easy, easy, easy, job done).

Lunch will have to be a packed lunch with the floppy pitta... tuna/egg/tomato and cheese/tomato or cheese/pickle.

Not much "cooking" going on in that ... but cooking is just a vernacular for "getting food from its resting state and onto a plate".

I agree with that. I have just got some yogurt and blackberries from the fridge and into a bowl for breakfast. I CBA to do anything else.


Don't know what I will have for lunch yet. I'm going to a friend's house for coffee this morning and then want to go for a walk on the way home so I may make a couple of sandwiches to stop and eat for lunch on the way out. There are plenty of nice walks on the way back with areas to sit and watch the world go by.

Good morning everyone,

"Shep" - excellent name for a trolley:D.

I can't believe there has been another attack, just senseless and heartbreaking.

More gardening planned for today - I really should be doing some housework but that will wait until the sun isn't shining. Breakfast was toast & cheese spread with a handful of baby plum tomatatoes. I'm not sure about lunch maybe poached duck eggs - I'll see how the gardening is going and might just make a quick sarnie. Tonight will be something with jersey royals, asparagus and green beans. Probably a piece of steak or salmon, I'll decide later:)
