@Islandmaid - me too! Though I've been here for almost 30 years!
Dinner last night was some very nice steak - I thought I'd overcooked it (I'd eat it raw if I had to) but it was just right. caesar salad on the side and strawberries for afters.
No idea yet about tonight - it's market day so we'll see what's available. Hoping that I'll be taken out for breakfast! Then when we get home I think I'll need to clear out the fridge and freezers. Some stuff has been frozen for much too long and needs to be binned if we're not going to use it - yes wasteful but I think it's beyond help.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.

I'm trying to make some space in the freezer for the veg I am harvesting from the garden, so have taken out a large enamel dish of a chicken, veg and pasta bake which I made a few weeks back. I don't really fancy it to be honest, but don't want to waste it. I'll probably zhuzh it up with some passata under it and a bit more cheese sauce over it and see if that makes it any more appealing!.2

Going to have a go with lamb (not a favourite meat at all) but saw spicy lamb pasta on a morning show and it appealed - so hope I can tolerate it as mince.
Cutting a few bits out like the yoghurt on pasta, pine nuts and butter.

Tonight is teriyaki chicken and noodles fried with carrots and green peppers (to suit OH's dietary stuff!). It's shopping day tomorrow and we were at a clinic all day for results. Feeling virtuous I am using up veg that is reaching end of its life and chicken I froze. I'm not feeling it because I miss all the 'nice' veg we would have normally had but not cooking two different things!3

We've declared this an easy dinner night so I'm thinking I might have the Tisco beef burritos that got slung in the freezer. OH was talking about tuna or salmon sandwich with soup or possibly an omelette.
Off now to the various bits of the freezer to see if what needs to be chucked.....I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.

Literally no idea - I 'need' to do a food shop. Actually I don't need to - we have plenty in but struggling to find stuff that OH will eat too which doesn't involve two meals. I did buy some meatless sausages last night so might be sausage and mash tonight.Feb 2015 NSD Challenge 8/12JAN NSD 11/16
