Chilli and rice for us tonight, I’m full of cold and feeling sorry for myself so maybe something spicy will be good for the sinuses!4

Feel better soon @C_J
Eldest cooked again tonight but, as I was exhausted and in late from work, it was breaded fish from the freezer with mushy peas and he did HM spicy oven chips.Books read 2023 - 49/753 -
Get well soon @C_J.
We made pancakes at cookery class yesterday with a cheese sauce and spinach, mushroom and chick pea filling so I had the second half for dinner tonight with petits pois and green beans from the freezer.
We also made an incredibly pretty faux apple tart with an extra one of the pancakes which was delicious. Here's mine before it went into the oven.
Then this morning I got up early and made these gluten free oat biscuits to take to walking group this afternoon. They were a hit with everyone and vanished very quickly which was nice.
PS Sorry about the size of the photos, for some reason I can't alter them on this site.5 -

Thank you for the well-wishes, I think they are working
Still feel a bit rubbish but definitely better than yesterday.
I need it to be a simple supper tonight, and have just found a previously-made cottage pie in the freezer which will fit the bill nicely.4
