Cooking for one (Mark Two)

Wednesday2000

Actually, I changed my mind as I realised I have some more leftover stir fry veg in the fridge, it's things like cabbage and butternut squash so I just added some other veg and potato and veg bouillon to make a soup. Lots of cayenne pepper to make it nice and spicy. I have some white rolls to have with it.:A

I ended up skipping breakfast and going straight to lunch.

1/4 pie, chips, beans.

I put the remaining 2/4 of pie into the freezer and tossed the whole pizza into the freezer. That freezer's pretty full now ... I also "forgot" I'd bought a big turkey breast joint about a week ago and slid that in there.

9 from a pack of 12 scones were also put into the freezer.

There must be something in the air or maybe Pluto and Uranus are having a fight, must go and check what planetary activity is going on.

There be a full moon on Saturday, the biggest of the year, so probably already exerting its influence;)


I CBA with cooking food today and yet am so hungry again. The cold I thought had gone on its merry way is back with a vengeance and am hoovering up anything edible that does not require me to stand up or to titivate it into looking like a meal - which probably means when I'm feeling fit enough to do something no clothes will fit:mad:

Yep - a few stressful aspects around and the full moon there to illuminate it all

EDIT; Yikes - that just woke me up making breakfast this morning. Just had a fire plugged-in briefly in kitchen and there was a flash and sparks at the socket the fire itself was plugged into! Pulled it out quick and now wondering whether it was the socket or the fire at fault. It's a dual socket and my fridge is plugged in the other half and still working as per normal. Hope it's down to the fire and not the socket...

Hope you sort it, if you were nearby I'd pop round with my tools & multi meter, or maybe you already have them to hand. At least it did not take the fridge with it. You could try moving fridge plug into the other side of the socket, or have you got a portable table / bedside light you could plug into the socket to try see if same result?

Bit foggy this morning, nice & sunny now

Just tea & oatie biscuit for breakfast

The trawl around the shops was quite good today, found YS 2.5kg spuds in Asda, 64p, down from £1.89, must have a gold nugget inside each one at that original price, grabbed them intending to have with planned savoury mince tonight

But discovered that W/rose currently have offer on Heck very meaty bangers, down to £2.15. I bought a pack of them, and because they are near use by of 4th dinner has now changed to bangers, mash & probably baked beans

I'll double dose the mash to have LO for tomorrow, could be a cottage pie day

Lunch used the last of the tinned salmon, in the finger rolls, with tom & cuc slices. I enjoyed them. The rolls will go well with some Heck bangers for lunch tomorrow, posh hot dogs

I've got a shepherd's pie for dinner that a neighbour bought around for me, so all I have too cook is some veg to go with it. A nice meal without hardly any effort . It's a nice treat without having left overs to freeze, which is just as well as the freezer is looking a bit full again.

It really is hard to keep the freezer contents down without waste or too much repetetive eating .

The fridge is now plugged into a different socket in case and I am awaiting an electrician popping around to have a looksee (NOT the electrician that "sorted the house out" when I bought it:cool::cool::cool:).

Pastures - Basically - I find the whole idea of living on Planet Earth more than a little scarey if I think about it...

I look at what a high proportion of the human race gets up to - with wars/pollution/general selfishness/inefficiency/etc - and it is very scary to be on Earth. I function with the aid of shutting myself away from them all at intervals for hours/days at a time if it all "gets a bit much".

Then I have a good go at persuading myself back into "Since I'm here - then I'd better get on and make the best of it. Make the most logical decisions I can about how to handle being here and soldier on" mode. Followed by telling myself "Could be a lot worse - look at the lives a lot of people on this planet have:eek:"...

EDIT; Thanks for the thought Farway. Appreciated.

I needed to be at work today for 11, so forgo breakfast and had a ham salad thin at 10, and a muller corner yogurt, which I ate when I arrived at work, after a half hour walk in.
Finished at 3 ,so ate a banana on the way home, and ate a couple of crackers with cheese at 3.45.
As I'm eating out tonight because it's my friends birthday, we are going to a thai restaurant :T

Having realised that my food spends have been increasing of late (e.g. the brisket and the pie) .... for tea I decided to rein things in a little. I had a couple of frozen muffins in the freezer (30% off sticker!), so I've toasted one of those and topped it with 1/3rd tin of beans and two scrambled eggs.
