Last night we had pasta with a HM chorizo/mushroom/olive tomato sauce, and I also made a macaroni cheese for eldest, then portioned up the leftovers for his school lunch in a thermos.Tonight we had The Hairy Dieters sweet and sour chicken with rice. Realised at the end that I’d run out of cornflour but googled it and used plain flour instead.Books read 2023 - 49/752

Needed a quick meal as spent last few hours wrapping presents so burger in a bun with salad, cheese, gherkin, sauces did the trick.2

Last night we had a takeaway delivered (Nepalese curry, it was deeeelicious!) and tonight we’re back to home made (spaghetti bolognese).
All the Christmas stocking gifts have now been wrapped, and cards all written ready for posting tomorrow. I am about to celebrate with a cheeky glass of wine 😀3 -
Takeaway fish and chips (halloumi for me, scampi for OH). Rice pudding afterwards.3

I had a tin of baked beans with veg sausages. I really couldn't be bothered to cook and decided if nobody would cook for me I wasn't cooking for anyone else.

JIL said:Once a week I just want a night off.So today I decided to take advantage of being in Tier 2 and have booked us a late lunch at a local Italian, anyone who is hungry later can help themselves to cheese and biscuits 🙌Books read 2023 - 49/753
