Cooking for one (Mark Two)

Good evening everyone,
It's been a glorious, warm sunny day here, most likely one of the last, if not the last day for sitting outside with my book without needing lots of layers .
My sister and my Dad popped round for lunch nothing fancy just soup and a sarnie.
Tomorrow My manager is coming round as I'm officially "retiring" on 30/09 so I need to hand back all my passes etc. I have to say it feels very odd that after almost 34 years I'll soon be an ex-civil servant
Another one with a bung it on a tray dinner tonight- jerk spiced chicken thighs with roasted veg;)

Can I pop in?
Congratulations caronc, happy retirement!
I had salmon fillet with sweet chilli sauce, mini potatoes and cooked broccoli and carrots left over from Sunday tea. Topped with tartar sauce.
After I had a muller corner with seeds on and a pear and nectarine.
I need to use up fresh stuff as I'm away next week.

Sausage rolls, chocolate, fizzy pop .... all the Tuesday food groups covered.

Lol, I like this. Perhaps these should become the Tuesday food groups on a regular basis and you should work out food groups for each of the other 6 days of the week .

I've been eating less than healthy food as well this evening. Since my fish, chips and beans for dinner, I've had half a packet of chocolate digestives, a few segments from a Terry chocolate organge. I've enjoyed it all though .

Real CFO meal tonight - remainder of veg curry with fish fingers! It worked, honestly, tasted really good:)

Hello wort :hello:
I see you are using up fresh stuff. That seems to be something that those of us that post on this CFO thread seem to do a lot of .

I mostly like an occasional pub lunch soup .... not my own mostly.

I dislike coleslaw after the first spoon full. One spoon's more than enough, it's a tiny side dish ... alongside more interesting things, or to pad out a sandwich

I think the veg mix really needs a fat pie and gravy

I prefer my own soups.God that sounds arrogant, but I find a lot of pub/ restaurant soups don't have enough flavour for me

I don't know if I want a bowl of cereal or baked beans on toast for breakfast today...:)

As a CFO you can have them both

I'll go with cheese & beans on toast I think - I've got beans open and I've bread in the freezer.... and I've cheese. So that's it. Uses up what's open and what's cluttering the freezer.

EDIT: And I am now eating that ... 2 bits of toast, ½ tin of beans, cheese slice on top.

I've just had a slice of toast for breakfast because I'm being taken out for lunch by my neighbour as a treat for the help that I give her. So I won't have to think about any food today . We are going to a restaurant just down the road that does a really good lunch menu.

This evening if I want anything I'll just grab a crumpet or have some more toast.

I do like these no cooking days .
