What are you making for dinner?

I'm desperate to make some room in the freezer(s) so have taken out a dish of chicken and pasta bake which has been lurking in there for some time. I seem to recall I wasn't that keen on it when it was first made, so I doubt the leftovers are going to be any better. Plus I would rather just eat ice lollies in this heat!  Oh well.

I bet he wonders why you didn't take it as a compliment.  some men are the worst kind of idiots.

I agree with the others that the tutor should help you sort this and if necessary boot the misogynistic twit out.

I think you've hit the nail on the head here, thankyou for putting it so clearly, I found it very helpful.
Thankyou also to @JIL, @C_J, @Islandmaid and @Smoosh for your comments and suggestions.
After reading all of your messages I've decided to take the weekend to think about what to write in an email to the tutor first thing on Monday morning. I'm going to ask to work at a different station, never to be expected to work in a smaller group with the man and for the man to be told that he should never approach me again. I'm obviously going to have to phrase it far better than that. Sending the email first thing on Monday should give me time for dealing with any reply before Thursday evening and if the reply doesn't make me feel happy about going back to the class then I'll look for an alternative. Decision made, which makes me feel better, I'll let you know what happens.

Anyway, dinner yesterday was leftover tofu from the other day followed by pineapple and coffee.

I think that sums it up quit nicely.  Happy to sense check your email if you think that might help.  I think it's good in any case to write something today/tomorrow and give yourself a chance to think and rephrase if needed.  That's what I do with difficult correspondence.

We had wraps -  Southern Fried chicken and salad yesterday.
Off out to a bbq at our old Church today.

Plan went out the window today. OH had leftover pad thai. I had an egg sandwich (YS) with added Quorn chicken slices (YS). Followed by pancakes (YS), strawberries and cream.

What I thought was chicken and veg bake turned out to be various veg plus butter beans in a cheese sauce and it was delicious! And as a bonus, I now have a little bit more room in the garage freezer (which is going to get an audit tomorrow).

@Brie - thankyou for your kind offer. I will DM you tomorrow afternoon if that's convenient for you?

I had a quick fossick through the fridge and grilled some tofu which had been marinating for a couple of days and popped a red pepper onto the edge of the rack at the same time. Eaten with pasta, grana padano, black olives, sun-dried tomatoes, rocket, carrots and basil followed by pineapple and coffee.

Tacos tonight. Thomas (OH) was so happy! I love using the last of things, in this case, 3  taco shells, taco sauce and last tomato.

Best of luck and I hope this unfortunate situation doesn't put you off something you obviously enjoyed.  I honestly thought behaviours like this were history. When I think back to when I started work aged 17 and I had to take the post around all the offices. I was instructed that when I went to one room, i had to hand it over at arms length otherwise the man would put his hands underneath and have a sneaky rub of my chest.  At the time it wasnt tackled. It is now. 
I also thought spacing during covid helped, people knew not to stand too close, it was the norm to stand apart. Still something I do out of habit. 

Anyway today's dinner was burgers. I had portobello mushroom and halloumi, with salad con on the cob and onion rings. Husband had beef burger and a few chips, all done in the actifry. I will have to check my oven is working, it's been so long since it was on.  I took a picture to share with my daughter who was on a hen weekend and not enjoying the food. Mushroom and halloumi is one of her favourites.
