  • Lunch today is cauliflower cheese soup made yesterday to use a past it's best cauli and also I made cauliflower cheese which will be supper or lunch tomorrow.  Main meal will be pasta with a home made tomato sauce to use up 4 tomatoes past their best and I'll cook enough pasta to make a pasta bake with the rest of the sauce to have the day after tomorrow as main meal.  I'm trying to work things so we don't have to eat the same dish more than two days running to keep us interested in food.  Lack of exercise is bringing small appetites which will keep our supplies for longer than if we were hungry all the time but we need to stay fit too don't we?

    I'm having a prawn mayo sandwich for lunch, had crumpets for breakfast.  Not sure what dinner will be.  DH makes that.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Had some of the veggie haggis type thing i cooked up last night, was going to turn it into a lasagne but it wasn't that nice so I'm just working my way through it. Had that with mash.

    Jeffing cat has an eye infection,  £70 down before lunch  :o but tbh was much more convenient doing a phone consultation with me sending photos for something like that vs having to take her down there.

    I keep making things that need gravy, I think it's my way of dealing with the current uncertainty. 
    We have got more than enough food, but it doesnt stop me worrying.  
    I made pasta, fresh lasagne, cut into strips, tomato, courgettes and prawns with garlic bread. 
    Back to gravy tomorrow.

    The last of the cauliflower cheese soup for lunch with a mashed potato mountain and the other half of the home made pasta sauce with pasta and cabbage salad for supper.  Have some cooked rhubarb so I will make HWK a crumble with that and a couple of apples from the fruit bowl (ha ha, 2 wrinkled apples and a drying up orange) to last him a few days, he seems to get hungrier than I do and if I can feed him a crumble for pud it stops him looking for snackage.

    I thought that about the instant mash - we have a box of it - just in the cupboard because it's quick and easy. Then I worried if we ran out....we have actual potatoes...what on earth am I concerned about.
