  • Envious of the home grown leeks @KajiKita - they don't grow well in our stony soil.  I like them pan cooked - finely sliced, with a huge dob of butter and then a scrunched up 'lid' of baking paper so they saute in the butter without catching. 

    Lovely to see you @juliejim, hope you had a good break too

    Walking yesterday, and a lovely day. Cold but bright.  My dodgy ankle has held up surprisingly well but I need to do my physio exercises again. We ate on the way home *coughs* so no cooking for me hurrah.

    Stupidmarket delivery due later, full of lots of healthy vegetables that I can watch rotting in the fridge eat in exciting combinations and actually have some vitamins.

    Oh and it pay day, must shuffle some money round.  I hate to admit it but there is still money left from November, even after the credit card bill. My hatred of shopping when it is busy has paid off.  I did fritter on some kindle books with vouchers but used the spend £15/get £5 so even that was a reasonable deal.  I might spend the rest on jumpers...

    “… full of lots of healthy vegetables that I can watch rotting in the fridge eat in exciting combinations and actually have some vitamins“ this made me LOL! 😂😂😂

    Glad my garden can grow something. It’s not very fertile or gardener friendly yet …..

  • I am at least honest about my terrible eating habits. I have had mushrooms today so some vitamins at least. And a vitamin tablet which is a big improvement.

    I resisted jumpers. A trip into local university town for house renovation stuff, and a dash round the value supermarkets while it's quiet. Lots of tinned beans which I need to make a plan for.

    happy new year everyone
