    We had our roast chicken dinner and it was delicious! I took out some chicken and will buy a leek, cheese and some smokey bacon tomorrow and have a chicken, leek & bacon casserole in a white sauce and serve it with some spuds as the weather has gone a little cold!

    Tonight I’m making a chicken pho type dinner, making stock with yesterday’s chicken bones and adding star anise to the stock pot ( as well as other things to flavour it). I think I’ve got green beans, mushrooms, and peppers to add to it with the rice  noodles.  
    I’ll freeze the remaining stripped chicken meat for a chicken and cashew stir fry later in the week.
    Also have left over mash so I’m going to attempt a lemon drizzle cake recipe I found that uses mash and ground almonds and no flour. I haven’t baked in so long ( it’s never as much fun with gluten free ).

    Any said:
    Everyone's dinner plans make me hungry despite having just eaten bacon butty!! 
    Also,our bottle bin is half full already and it was emptied just last week🙈 I seem to be spending shed loads of money,but fiding I have just enough food till next shop and all that cost actually is wine!!
    Tonight we are having pork shoulder roast. Cannot wait. Our favourite type of roast. Steamed cabbage&roast carrot and tatties too, of course.

    Same here - spending a fortune on wine, and it's not even expensive wine either. The gin seems to be rapidly evaporating as well. I guess it's a mix of not being able to go out anywhere plus if we're not going out, no one needs to be worried about having to drive either. Before lockdown I would rarely go to the pub anyway and usually when I did it would just be watch football and come home so I'd drive. I would rarely drink at home either. Deff increased my consumption many fold during lockdown. 
    OH cooked pasta last night as I was finishing the decorating - still some to do but no more ceilings which is good. Need to get some paint for the woodwork though. 
    Not sure what tonight will be yet.
