We've not seen either of our immediate neighbours other than fleetingly since it began, they're OK just being sensible and not being out and about any more than they need to. We are making sure to go walking for exercise once a day but lucky to live with easy access to the open farmland around the village so can do it relatively safely and it's certainly the relief pressure valve in our lives.
More 'iffy soup' which having stood in the fridge overnight when we had it for lunch yesterday had improved beyond expectation and was actually quite OK, along with a sandwich for our lunch and a bowl of fresh fruit salad. Supper will be macaroni cheese and the rest of yesterdays salad and some rhubarb (from the allotment) and ginger crumble for HWK if he wants it.

We'll be finishing off yesterday's chicken and sweetcorn pie tonight, with a little mashed potato and green veg of some description from the freezer. French beans, probably.
I have some bananas getting a little too ripe, and I have found a tin of caramel condensed milk so together with the digestives in the biscuit tin and the last bit of cream in the fridge ....... we'll be having banoffee pie for pud this week.5 -
Lunch will be chip butty with avocado for me (egg for OH).
Dinner. Carrot and potato mash, shop bought steak pie, various veg, gravy and might throw in a Yorkshire pudding or two just to add to the excitement...4 -

We were supposed to be having beans on toast,but realised we don't have enough bread! 🤣 Fresh is coming tonight (from my sister's Ocado delivery).
So quickly switched to jacket potato with cottage cheese, and good job was it too as the cott cheese had use by yesterday!!
Tonight we are having beef gulas. I made it last night as it always improves massively overnight.
Will serve it with rice.

Ok I admit it was a fridge raider of leftovers but actually tasted really good.Dinner tonight is stuffed peppers , asparagus, new potatoes and salmon.Well Behaved women seldom make history

i have 350g of left over tomato puree, any suggestions on what I can use it for? thinking making a sauce to go with pasta or something? (not lasagna as I bought it for that purpose but turned out only to need 2 table spoons hence the surplus!)

You can freeze it in ice cube trays and tip it into a bag, then you'll have tomato puree to use in pasta sauces for a long time?3
