It was nice, apart from all that nasty green stuff starmummy

DIA - just looked at the BG website and I average 5 pounds of free on 'free' sundays. It'll be a shame when the tariff ends as it has worked out well for us, I don't think they do it anymore.

What a shame. I would have loved it. Such a good idea and something to organise around. I would have have made sure I got my money's worth as you seemed to!

DIA, too right, I save power intensive things till Sunday and its the only time I am actually warm. Its why I usually batch bake, pot roast etc on Sundays.

Today I can not cook at all, all skill gone. V annoying. Needed to make some bits for OH to take to work tomorrow, but the jam slice had gone to toffee (although I salvaged the middle) and the date thing just needs binning as it is inedible. Should have been eating out but DS1 is still ill, so we had steak from the freezer and even that wasn't great. Such a waste of ingredients

Boo to culinary crisis - a temporary glitch I'm sure.

Made the lentil loaf yesterday - very nice it was too

I do not believe that YOU cannot cook!

Thanks sunaddict and seaside, it happens sometimes and I will just avoid baking for a little bit.

Tidied the freezer this morning, really scarily empty for me. Its a huge (ancient) chest freezer and it is used to be a giant tetris game fitting anything new in but the lack of reductions in the co-op/MrL combined with some very poor quality stuff from MrM and MrT means I just haven't been buying meat lately. There are a few one meal tubs (lunches usually) but only 13 meal building units (eg pack of sausages) which has to be the lowest it has ever been, including when we ran out of credit card limit at the height of the famine. On the positive side at least there isn't a huge amount of cash in the freezer, and I found another bag of chopped peppers lurking.

There is some cheese in the freezer (grated and 1 mozarella) which is good as we only have feta and halloumi left in the fridge.

Chicken thighs and a small bit of chorizo out to defrost with the intention of making hairy dieters spanish chicken

DS2 has to make something mince based at school on Friday. I haven't got any, and he doesn't like handling meat at all. I am tempted to get him to make a lentil based thing instead, unless the village co-op has veggie mince.

I love the Hairy Dieters Spanish Chicken! Yum - got me thinking now of making it for the weekend!

The school shouldn't expect their pupils to create meat dishes if they are veggie or have an aversion to meat. I think the lentil dish would suffice - less expensive to make than buying the veggie mince I would think.

DS2 isn't keen on cooking (or eating) anything tbh seaside, it took him two hours to prep one pepper and five cherry toms for salsa last time. They were mathematically neat slices though :rotfl:

I've managed a whole tub trug of weeds out of the front garden before the cold got to me. Former stray followed me round chatting, and when I looked back at the house three furry sentinels were sat in a row on the dining room window ledge anxiously watching my progress. They do like to keep an eye on me. Hope its a little warmer tomorrow as the green waste bins get emptied on Friday. We pay enough for the service so I need to maximise the return.
