I had a cooking session today, I always seem to revert to cooking when it's been busy at work.
I made sausage rolls, scotch eggs, cheese scones, broccoli and cauliflower soup, fishcakes and carrot cake.
We had the soup for lunch with scones or sausage rolls and the fishcakes for dinner with mushy peas.
Did the shopping today. Shelves are definitely better. The only thing I couldn't get was cooking oil but I can improvise.4 -
I’ve just taken a couple of white fish fillets and a handful of large prawns from the freezer, and will be making seafood pancakes for tonight’s supper. Pudding will probably be a fresh fruit salad as I have melon, nectarines and blueberries which need using up.

Homemade quiche and salad again for lunch today and supper this evening will be a Wartime Carrot Pie which is a base of cooked carrots topped with a breadcrumb based cheese pudding mixture and we'll have it with some mashed potato pyramids crisped in the oven and some green beans and peas from the freezer. Pudding if we want it will be 'padded pudding' another wartime recipe using stale cake crumbs and custard. We won't starve will we?4

Didn't post yesterday as I was very busy with the garden. We had sandwiches for lunch, and pan fried cod with bacon cabbage and buttered potatoes with chive for tea. It was lovely!
Tonight we are going to have chicken tikka masala for tea-I bought these paste pots on offer couple months back and now they are finally going to get used. Hope they are spicy enough for my OH
Not sure about lunch today.. but we are running low on bread and need to last till Tue, so probably not sandwiches!
Maybe some savoury pancakes?

Morning all. Went and did a top up shop of a few fresh bits yesterday and had a mini bbq in the garden. Will be having the leftovers for lunch today. Dinner tonight is macaroni cheese and salad as it's been all I can think about with the lack of pasta on the shelves, and finally managed to get some yesterday! Hope you all have a good day.Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20175

Just had some bacon wraps for breakfast. Tonight leaning towards a ''fakeaway'' of some description. Well, if I am being honest I am tempted by getting an actual takeaway, however, I will be sensible. Thinking fried rice, and we have some spring rolls in the freezer, make some curry sauce to go with it. We still have a few biscuits in the biscuit tin and I got some ''posh'' crisps the other night. so plenty to pick at this evening if we wish.6

Afternoon folks,
We were up bright and early and had a banana smoothie first thing as the bananas were getting over ripe. For lunch we had poached egg on toast and tonight is quick and easy night, so pizza with a large side salad.Well Behaved women seldom make history
