    Beef enchiladas with guacamole.  Olio freebies wraps, mince, onions, garlic and Greek yoghurt, 75% Aldi reductions on avocadoes and tomatoes,15p Tesco pack of chopped toms with basil and grated cheese and HG chillies should work out about £1 to feed 4.

    expensive noodles from Waitrose - some italian brand £3.50 for a 250g pack but I had a £1.50 off voucher and they are so good we use half as much as we do of others.  just served with pesto.

    So having been veg last night I'm campaigning for steak tonight.  Got 2 big honkers from Lidl in the fridge.

    Using up bits and bobs to make a chicken, veg and noodle stir fry tonight. I picked up loads of Hello Fresh sauce sachets (ketjap manis, sriracha, teriyaki, soy sauce and harissa) from the community fridge last week so it will be seasoned with an assortment of those!
    This made a huuuge wok-full last night so we are finishing it off tonight.

    I'm making pizzas using wraps as the bases. Sauce will be made using tomatoes (olio freebie), tomato puree, mixed herbs and BBQ sauce. Topped with mixed grated cheese, tomatoes for me, and mushroom and pancetta for OH.

    Followed by warm chocolate praline cookies topped with banana (olio freebie), chocolate and vanilla ice cream and melted chocolate spread.

    @Smoosh I'm so envious of your olio goodies, I'm still gutted the house near us has stopped doing it. 

    Tonight i dug another jacket spud from the freezer , topped it with sour cream, chives and mozarella and had that with the last posh dog sausage thing also from the freezer and a small salad of cucumber, tomato and House dressing. 

    Really need to sort through the freezer. I'm sure i have more pizza dough in there but can only find one lot atm. Perhaps a job for next week when any excuse to handle cold things will be welcomed.

    I hope some local things pop up again for you soon. It's only just started up around my way (previous to that I used to only be able to pick things up in the town I worked in), so I'm feeling very grateful for anything we're able to get ☺️

    To save gas and only use the small oven I baked some fruit scones alongside Lidl vegan sausage rolls which we had with stuffed green peppers and mash. Out walking, I've had my eye on a gooseberry bush on a field edge for a while now and today I picked enough to make a gooseberry crumble for two, we had that with hm custard. Gooseberries were perfect, not had them for years so was a treat. DH sent a pic to distant relatives, saying food's got so expensive here we've had to go foraging.

    Went to evening class and came home with a delicious sweetcorn risotto and an intractable problem. One of the other learners pestered me and then tried to grab me when I told him to return to his station and to stop being creepy. I dodged and he went, muttering under his breath. I thought that was that but then the tutor needed the class to pair up a couple of hours later and assigned us to work together and when I asked to work with someone else we were taken aside together to explain the problem so I had to say I didn't want to be grabbed.
    I really thought I'd aged out of this sort of thing so I didn't recognise it until it was too late and I have wrenched joints from dodging the grab as well as a sore shoulder because I wasn't fast enough. Now what do I do? I've already said I don't want to make an official complaint and that I'm alright and I'll see everyone next week but I don't fancy weeks and weeks of "I'm sorry if you feel I'm invading your personal space, I didn't mean to make you feel like that" all said while getting closer and closer and reaching towards me which is what happened in the last five minutes tonight.
    I'm not even sure which board to put this post on, what sort of heading do evening classes and harassment come under do you think? 
    B u g g e r the man, he's spoilt something I was really enjoying and rattled the tutor, all because he thought I owed him my admiring attention.
