I fancied a sandwich with Linda McC sausages but realised I didn't have any bread until my Ocado shopping delivery!
I'm making SW chips with the sausages instead and I will have grilled tomatoes too.0 -
Two CFO successes today
The tea loaf turned out lovely, and the celery soup I planned earlier has been blitzed & is thick & creamy. I added some LO cream cheese into the whizz
Ideal comfort food now PN's rain arrived here about noon, time to draw curtains, eat thick HM soup, with YS bread dunked in, followed by tea bread with butter [STRIKE]slapped [/STRIKE]spread on
Later I'll hunt out a film or maybe more Jack Tyan on 4mazon, nice lazy evening ahead:)Eight out of ten owners who expressed a preference said their cats preferred other peoples gardens0 -
You've reminded me that I have a tea loaf recipe Farway and a couple of slices of it in the freezer
PN you certainly seem to be living a more exciting life these days :cool:
Lazy day as lurgy is developing nicelyI've completely lost my sense of smell and unfortunately taste as well. At least it's an excuse to stay indoors out of the rain and catch up some recorded TV.
I took out a chicken carcass from the freezer and made chicken soup, I had some for lunch which I'm assuming was nice as it usually is :cool: I had to stop myself adding too much seasoning as whatever I did it was still going to taste of nothing. I had a portion for lunch and there are a couple of generous ones left. Not bad for a £3 small chicken it fed two of us two meals each and there was quite a lot of meat left on the bones for soup. I also cooked a beef cheek ragu in the pressure cooker (it needed to be done today) but I will freeze most of that, this week I have eaten a lot of my RMs from the freezer.
I took a pork fillet from the freezer yesterday so that needs to be cooked, I'll make a pork and mushroom stroganoff with some sad mushroom and if I don't fancy it for dinner it can freeze it should fit[STRIKE] I hope[/STRIKE]Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage - Anais Nin0 -
At least it's not raining, good job because I'm off to a Remembrance Service and don't want to stand in rain if I can help it
There are "light refreshments" after which I take to be tea & biscuits
Quick check of suit, still fits, phew:j
Breakfast of porridge & sliced banana
Knocked up a new batch of yoghurt
I've got one portion of last night's celery soup left, so I think that's lunch. It was a nice batch I made, no matter how many times I do it it always varies, probably as I use eyeballs and not scales;)
Dinner, too far way, but I've Pukka L & P pies on red alert:)Eight out of ten owners who expressed a preference said their cats preferred other peoples gardens0 -

I can't, say, open a door, or hold a mug, or hold anything at all really, so still muddling through. I can't even type a lot of shortcuts, which I rely on for the majority of my keyboarding.... e.g. I can't type Ctrl-F without that stretch of the fingers hurting.
Hope it's getting better. Had a bit of a keyboard victory here today after a year of trying to figure out where it was hidden. I found 'Sticky Keys' on my iMac which is like a caps lock for function keys. There must be a Windows equivalent. But for me no more struggling with rubber bands wrapped around pencils
Why am I in this handcart and where are we going ?0 -
I could not warm up yesterday.:eek: I had the halogen heater on, my dressing gown over my clothes, a hot water bottle and we turned up all the heaters.
I woke up feeling lovely and warm this morning, luckily!:)
I've just been for a walk and am about to have a veggie burger in a bun with ketchup. I bought some Hula Hoops at the shop too.:D
We are going to watch a horror film today, the most recent Annabelle one.2025 GOALS

Is that eye of newt and toe of frog?
Farway hopefully it wasn't too cold today?
Enjoy your pizza Candy
I'm still without smell or taste at the moment which is a little off putting. But feel I will survive I've told my nephew off for over sharing :cool:
Another lazy day which is a shame as it was a nice day
Lunch and dinner were both LOs and just required a ping. Chicken soup for lunch and beef brisket with red cabbage, roast veg mash and green veg for dinner, just a shame both were tasteless even the horseradish.

Day 7 of The Hand. It's no worse
It's about 2% better... so probably another 2-3 weeks before I announce I'm back to normal.... assuming it isn't hiding a secret fracture I've no knowledge of yet.
Took an early stroll with a housemate to buddy up to reach the £25 so we could both get a crate of fizzy pop at £5/24. We'd assumed if we got there early there'd be delivery slots today, but they were tomorrow.... so did food shopping, but won't get it until tomorrow now
I went for the usual easy wins... burgers, fishcakes, kebab meat, chips, a pizza and a pack of wraps. Also got two bags of sweeties, hooked one out of the delivery bags so I could scoff one lot today.
Today I did beans/scrambled eggs on toast for breakfast, made cheesy macaroni later on and have scoffed sweeties.0
