Cooking for one (Mark Two)

Hello Slinky and poor_single_lady :hello:


Welcome to the thread.

Poor_Single_lady

Thank you for lovely warm welcome.

I am currently trying to eat everything in my freezer to do a defrost. No flying ants here.

Ended up going for the ratatouille type bake - reckoned it was as much hassle to work out what to have as it was to slice up veg , it's in the oven as I type and I'll toast a piece of pitta to dip:D

.... living on your own makes you a bit obsessive with foods and (it's been said before but) it's entirely different to cooking for 2 or more.

Yes, people can't "get it" until they've lived it!


It's entirely different thinking from "the norm" .... with lots of crumpets.

I did that the other week, for the first time ever! Not had a lifestyle that included a freezer before

It was lovely, but very hard, finally getting through it all - I've learnt that nasty stuff you don't fancy shouldn't go into the freezer - and/or should be eaten soonest after you've begrudgingly put it in there. That's why I ate my hateful food over the last 3 days as I'd already got two cr4ppy veggie burgers and a skin/boney sweet chilli dish I didn't want to eat. Both were taking up room and depressing me, so I set my mind to eating those this week.

Hello Slinky and PSL!

Hi Sunny G! The washer played up again so I just whacked it on spin and hung them up to dry, cba with faffing about!

Pasta for brekkie today, chicken/broccoli for lunch, honey sandwich for snack, then when I got home 2 cups of tea and some ryveta and soft cheese for dinner.

Someone pinched my 2ltr bottle of water off the top of the lockers at work today which was annoying, I drink a lot of water throughout the day and fill my bottle up from the water fountain at work when it's empty! Have to wait until Friday now til I can get another one!

Anyhoo, time for beddybyes, alarm goes off at 5am!

Ps, no flying ants here!

I've realised I use a lot of exclamation marks when I type... I'm not that excitable really, honest...

I still want Shepherds Pie.

Another midnight invasion from the mystery Bengal who sprayed all over the front of the living quarters.

Didn't have brekkie, lunch was leftovers and cooked fishcakes, new pots and salad (ok I didn't cook the salad) for tea.

Desperately hoping not to be invaded again tonight. Working stupid hours as it is and extra stress from invading felines doesn't really help.

(Confronted the owner this morning. Classic line - "What is a cello?" The darn big expensive thing your cat... etc)

<sigh>

I'd swap a cat for people's kids any day!

So do I. I'm planning on making one Friday or Saturday. I could share it with you, but you would have to come to Essex to collect it :cool:
