Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Possibly Farway or maybe a combination with the cheese. Mine involved showing someone how to make shortbread (I think), they were in full tennis kit complete with racquet and kept lobbing ingredients at me for me to catch!!!!:eek::eek::eek:
:rotfl::rotfl:whmf re the sweetbreads, mistake only made once:cool:.


unrecordings I like the Hessy's hot dogs vac packed rather than in brine https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/259635065 I've never come across any flobby or gristly bits:)

I meant the tinned/bottled varieties as the vac ones have too short a shelf life for my habits. Seems the only bottled varieties available are the low pork content ones at the moment:

Wikinger (bottle) 40% Poultry Mechanically Separated Meat (Turkey, Chicken), 33% Meat (Pork, Beef)

compared to:
Meica (bottle) 77% pork
Hessy's (vac) 78% pork
Herta (vac) 69.5% pork

anyway, probably best not going into too much detail. Hessy's look good if I can feel the urge coming on. Meica were good for a long term store cupboard chemo/CBA option

I portion and freeze them if that's any help.

I'm making fajitas for my first meal today. Beans, red onion, sweetcorn, green and yellow peppers fried in a Nando's rub and put in two toasted tortillas with hot salsa on top!

Nope that's not weird - pickles go with cheese and cheese goes with a baked spud;). If you had stirred a big spoonful of jam through perhaps though then again a chap I went to school with had a cheese & jam sandwich and a packet of pickled onion Monster Munch most days for his lunch so perhaps not :rotfl::rotfl:

I like cheese and jam sandwiches!:rotfl: Vegan cheese these days, though.

Went for food.... couldn't decide what I wanted, so decided burgers/flatbread and then I thought "breakfast". So I went out for burgers, chips, flatbread, eggs, sausages.

It was a good time for YS for somebody who has their own freezer/space and if I was in my own home I could've grabbed a couple of packs of mince and a couple of packs of breaded fish fillets... but I couldn't get those as I need to only buy "food I intend to eat this week or next".

No burgers!! L1dl only had chicken burgers, or beef burgers, I was after lamb (although I do currently prefer the 1cel4nd ones).

No chips! The entire fridge where the chips/labels were was empty, so maybe that fridge has a problem

Win: they had a pack of hash browns, so I got that as I was down to the last 3 of the previous pack.

YS - grabbed a 2-pack of cheese/onion slices (in pastry) and they had a pack of flatbreads (tomorrow's date). The shelf label said "new" and full price was 75p for 6, so they are cheaper than other sellers (e.g. 1cel4nd = £1/6), so it's a question of whether these are as good, or at least passable.

Sweeties: Got an 18 pack of chocolate covered Breakout (fake Breakaway) biscuits and grabbed a pack of my currently favourite fizzy jellies.

Got the sausages and eggs I wanted - and a 24-pack of fizzy pop (£5.99 is the cheapest seller currently). If I had "my own home" I'd probably have bought two of those.

Back here I cooked up: sausages, scrambled eggs, 3 hash browns, beans, splash of brown sauce - and had 2 chocolate biscuits for "afters"

Noooooh, that's just wrong:eek:
But thinking about it, I like Wensleydale with blueberries in it, so maybe, just maybe, however I'll not be rushing to try your combo;)

Chop defrosted awaiting grilling, spuds boiled & cooling, only need prep the salad now and dinner's done except for scoffing

I seem to remember L's had run out of chips and other CFO basics last year, I think they start clearing out the freezers ready for the Chrimbo stuff that is of zero use for CFO

I remember last year they stopped hash browns ... and it was months before they reappeared. Today the price had dropped to 65p (720g/15 pieces) and I wished I had my own freezer so I could stock up with 3-4 bags.... although I suspect each box that arrives (mixed croquette bags and hash bags) only contains ONE bag of hash browns... and some days I'm lucky.

Finished the jar of mixed pickles off today:eek: I'm honestly not preggers :rotfl:
Had teriyaki naked noodles for tea, not as good as the chilli ones imo:rotfl:

PasturesNew

1 flatbread, 2 fish cakes, splash of ketchup. 29p.

Didn't need to eat, but once food is in the house it's difficult to leave it alone

Good evening everyone

Nope that's wrong too - only fruit beside not in cheese for me please (or a slice of uniced fruit cake lol). I'm not a fan of the fruited cheeses but as always with CFO we can please ourselves.:)


Despite all my whinging about cold, rain, midges I do really live in a beautiful part of the world and at this time of year the sunsets are gorgeous https://www.bbc.co.uk/weatherwatchers/report/bea25618-824b-477e-96c4-33ac95f520d3/
That said it's blooming cold tonight lots of frost glistening outside and as it was a lovely day I gave the house a good airing and could have done with shutting the windows & doors a fair bit earlier than I did so it decidedly chilly inside as well. I was busy and didn't realise how cold it was , I'm in "Sherlock Holmes" mode trying to track down a missing (on paper only thankfully) sum of money in the out of school club's accounts - it will be in there somewhere just wish I could work out where!!
Prep such as it was is done for my chicken & veg oven bung it in, just needs cooking now then I want to stop thinking about numbers and catch up on the GBBO final, I've managed (so far) to avoid seeing who won.:cool:
