    We had a pizza night today thanks to the jollibee canada. We don't eat out too often, cause our younger daughter is still really tiny, but having some take aways is always a great idea. This way we enjoying eating together, without someone having to cook actually.

    Fridge clear tonight, have loads of bits and pieces to use :)

    I get our Pomegranate Molasses from a local ‘easy weigh’ type shop, that is the closest thing to an Asian grocer we have always find amazing treasure whenever we visit

    @goldfinches thank you. I have no Turkish supermarket (plenty of barbers and some tailors) and no Waitflower or Ocado. I will seriously stock up in Turkey next month
    I've also remembered I've seen it here www.souschef.co.uk and here www.ottolenghi.co.uk and here Home - Honey & Co (honeyandco.co.uk) but be warned all three sites are seriously delicious and you won't come away with just one item!

    pork chops, jacket potatoes.  I'll throw the bit of left over salad on my tater (beet and dark leaves) but OH will just have some of the left over sour cream and onion dip left over from last night (lamb kidneys and chorizo sausages with pita, salad and dips).

    I suggested kipper fillets with butter, plus Mediterranean veg as husband's hayfever is bad today and we had kebabs yesterday.

    @Frith thank you I will try Sainsburys. It is 2 buses there and back but not too far and a decent price if it tastes good

    It’s payday for me this week, I have decided to stop my weekly shop.

    Since WFH, I tend to meal plan, make a click and collect order or delivery each week and a meat order monthly. I end up throwing away, especially veg/salad each week, so am obviously overbuying. I am going to try and withdraw X amount of cash and pop to our local Aldi when they open at 8am, as and when I need things, or OH can grab a few bits when out and about, though he does tend to buy snacks, crisps, biscuits when going for basics 😉

    Back to food, and I am keeping it simple with good sausages, caramelised onion on ciabatta for him and linseed flour roll for me, I might bake some brownies as I have loads of eggs to stave of his impulse buying of rubbish.
