Cooking for one (Mark Two)

I've just helped myself to a few small fat slices of cold turkey
Finger nibbles.

Money - I haven't found Pinterest, but my attention has been drawn to 'youtube tutorials' - some of which are excellent for duffers like me

I would think (someone can probably confirm this) that you could haul up something/anything on Pinterest by googling for "Pinterest + that board I mentioned".

Think it should come up okay.

When you do get a board up - you will see an empty banner headline at the top of the webpage. You put in whatever topic it is you're interested in on that - and hopefully at least one person will have done a board with that or a similar name.

I've not quite figured out how to make up a board for myself from things that havent got the little "attach to Pinterest" thingie on them - will need to work on that I think.

HM Turkey soup + crusty bread + french cheese + the last glass of wine in the bottle = a very happy Caronc:D. Simple pleasures ....:D

Up before the lark, could not drop back to sleep

Looks frosty outside, but I can get to the shops, in fact I'm up & about before they open

Due to stupid hour I had a peek at TV, what a lot of tosh shopping on there at stupid o'clock

Gave me chance to have a bacon & brown sauce sandwich for breakfast, I had toyed with turkey but went off that once I opened the fridge

The stollen is starting to go stale now, light bulb moment, turn it into trifle :j

I have most of the items, I may get a tin of mixed fruit while I'm out, back to 1950s for my trifle. No cream but will use thick Greek yoghurt as a sop to health claim, fruit & yoghurt:)

50+ years of electrical experience helps;)

Its nearly over :j that long period of time, mostly spent in silence. I have spent some of that time re-vamping my home accounts and joined the savings thread

So yesterday I froze cakes, bought far too many, waitrose, speculas and mini mince pies and a lot of that thick cream is left, throwing it out today, was a waste just for a couple of mouthfuls. Food started to be more normal yesterday, except that the maltesers were eaten.

Breakfast, spelt flakes, dried raspberries and A2 milk, later will be a cheese toasted sandwich, toastabag so one cheddar slice and no spread. Lunch, yesterday`s roasted veg mixed with egg and baked. Last meal, soup and plain bread. In betweeners, fruit, walnuts, dark chocolate and I will try and get out on my bike. Just have to check the air temperature, not good to breathe very cold air at my age. I may end up just staying in and knitting

Welcome back to relative normality

Good morning everyone,
I've been reading that thread too Kittie so may also join, I'm in the process of revamping on my budgeting (I use a spread sheet) now my pension is more or less sorted out (I'm saying more or less as HMRC mucked up my tax code initially:mad: and I'm not sure if the new one will kick in this month).
I got most of the fridge sorted out yesterday just some LO turkey to freeze today and a bit of Water Buffalo my friend brought over (it is really tasty like a cross between beef and venison).:)
Food wise today I'm not sure, fruit for breakfast and soup/salad for lunch but I'll see what the kids are up to before I plan for this evening. Something with salmon I think.

Morning all,

Glad to hear people are home safe and sound.

Wow Black Russians that takes me back to about 1978 :eek:, I was never very keen on cola but in drinking these I discovered mixing cola and alcohol made me sick - perhaps I should try a white one

There is a slight covering of snow around here again but hopefully not too much more coming our way this time. I couldn't be bothered clearing the drive yesterday so walked to the local shop to get some softies, I didn't see another soul apart from the shop assistant, what's happened to everyone.

Finally got around to making a Nut Roast yesterday, first time ever making/eating and I really enjoyed it, drawback = I now have six portions in the freezer.

I need to make a pie filling mixture with the last of the turkey and get that in the freezer as well, but tonight I fancy https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/stiltonsouffle_79047 with a green salad and slice of garlic bread.

Just had a tomato sandwich for breakfast and will have another piece of nut roast with some coleslaw followed by some fresh fruit for lunch.

Hard, hard, frost here overnight.

Two sausage rolls will be heated up at some point ....

Meals are no longer roughly defined as being a collection of appropriate food on a plate.... but are random foods grabbed here and there and scoffed directly from the hand. e.g. crisps, peanuts, chocolates
