While I was out for a late afternoon/early evening walk it turned rather cold and began to spit and spot with threateningly large drops of rain so I rejigged the dinner menu while sprinting for the front door and had toast and marmite, a fried egg and a can of baked beans followed by a boiling hot coffee. I turned the heating on for a quick blast too.

after a weary Saturday I succumbed to OH's plea for me to go and get fish & chips. I'm trying to be sensible about it (sort of) and get the OAP portion rather than the mega platter. unfortunately as it was 8 pm before we were eating and I was worn out and went to bed about 10 I woke at about 3 am with dreadful indigestion. I either need to avoid stuff like this altogether or eat much earlier.
breakfast was a lovely production of eggs benedict courtesy of the OH. I had got up a bit earlier (but still after 10!) and had a small bowl of strawberries, youghurt and muesli (pleased I've found one that is completely without any type of dried fruit which I find unpleasant in cereal)
duck & new potatoes this evening. (should have bought some rocket to go with it but was too fussed yesterday at Sainbugs as a woman was trailing behind me coughing a lot and every time I stopped to get something she would come and stand right next to me and then lean across to get something with even a vague attempt at manners... I have low tolerance of this sort of behaviour)
I did manage to get some salmon to grill for breakfast, maybe have a tomato with it.

Haven't been here for a while. My other half parent keep ending up at supermarket and getting bargains. They seem to get massive ''packets'' of drumsticks. Last week we stretched them. Curry, peri peri chicken, even just chicken and rice etc. So economical considering they got them for .£1.50ish. A few take aways. A few cooked breakfasts. Nothing v exciting. Hoping everyone is well. x
I did a put it all in the oven dinner today, chicken, potato dauphinose, red cabbage, stuffing, roasted broccoli. Vege sausages for me. Even squeezed in an apple crumble.
I made this recipe yesterday Wild Mushroom Palmier Recipe - Great British Chefs which was delicious particularly the tapenade which I'm definitely making again. Here is what I ate it with yesterday and earlier this evening.
The recipe says it makes 30 but I got 51 cutting some not quite as thin as suggested and I also found that thinner ones were much crispier and nicer to eat. I left mine in the freezer for two hours, they were easier to cut but took an extra 15 minutes in the oven. I used M*rks cheapest olives and Mr T own brand capers for the tapenade and it was really good.
