Cooking for one (Mark Three)

caronc

Veg have been chopped and are simmering away on the hob. I added lots of garlic (sorry Farway;)) and oregano so the house is beginning to smell lovely:).

I've decided to freeze the crumble, there is enough for two portions so will probably use it when my son is about as he loves it. Lunch is going to be the soup with a couple of Krisprolls & cooked chicken.:)

Wednesday2000

Time of the month so a real CBA cooking day.:D

A Valsoia Dairy Free Pizza with Grilled Vegetables for lunch I think, maybe with a salad if I can be bothered.:cool:

I had some WM toast and mashed avocado for breakfast and a banana and a handful of pumpkin seeds as a snack.

WOW! PN how long did it take to research all that?

Spirit that sounds lovely, I may have another peruse ! Glad the cat sitter turned out ok.

I've done the cleaning and pegged out the washing, I'm tempted to go in the garden, but I did most of what needed doing the other day.

I've had gfree cornflakes for breakfast, and me and dgson finished the leek and potato soup, the seeded crust of bread,and black pepper crisp with a satsuma after!
Off to check out hols!!

Just delurking to say to Wort that my OH is coeliac, and his app has told him that tesco value cornflakes count as GF and are 40p/750g box.

In case that saves you buying the ones branded specifically as GF if you don't need to. Sorry if you already knew that.

Too long ...... but I've finally decided that I have found the father, but, bizarrely, he was never "of note" enough to get a mention in newspapers/the Internet etc like one expects of the middle classes from that time.

1865-1944
One child who died in WW1 aged 23.
Wife died 1968 aged 97..... having sat in the Manor House and seen everybody around her die.

1916-17 her mother and son died.
1930-1940 her siblings died
1944 her husband went.... she must have thought "me soon!"... but plodded on for another 24 years!

She'll have been the backbone of the local church from 1917 to 1968 ... and my mum was brought up in/around the church, as people were back then as it provided all your social and life calendar year-round for most people. So my mum and gran would've known "the old lady from the big house" and my gt-granny would've definitely had a strong opinion on her ...as she was the sort to have strong opinions on everybody, founded/unfounded or simply because one can have an opinion

Farway

Mini gardening done, back aching a bit so stopped, but at least the niggling potting on now sorted

Missing person, and his family, tracked back to Caistor, Lincs,early 1800. I could go further but now into parish records and CBA as it is not"my family" I'll pass on the info and they can carry on if they want. Seems others have some links on Ancestrii, some wrong uns but I'll leave them to it

Lunch was cheese & HM chutney on toast, made a change

Dinner will be as planned, bangers & mash
Bread pud will be used to bung any hunger holes later

I think the missing Revd was there
Funny how coincidences work isn't it.
You and me both passing through the area looking for dead-uns allegedly in the same spot.

Stoozie1 thank you for the heads up, I'll check them out when I need more. I used to buy tesco own brand then they changed, last lot I got were the nestle one only cos they were on offer!!

I've had hm pizza with chilli peppers mushrooms and piri piri chicken, as dgson gone home for tea! I'm working early tomorrow and it saves him getting up early, not that he's likely to lie in :rotfl:
I'm picking him up on my way home tomorrow from my sisters.
Off to yoga soon, then on to quiz, may have some crisp with the wine:beer:!!

Today I've managed:

2 bits of toast
2 hot sausage rolls
Some squares of chocolate (~20g)
Cheese/tomato/salad cream sandwich (it's easier to squirt than spreading marg + it's tastier + saves washing up as there's no knife used)

Can I sound a note of caution there....

Reason being some people are so "private" that they have 40 fits at a stranger investigating their ancestry. I know - because I have one for a parent - and they strongly object to that. They don't mind me knowing (in fact wishes I showed some interest in it:rotfl:) - but anyone outside the family is a definite no-no.

In the exact same family - one can find someone else that has absolutely zero interest in their ancestry (in my family that would be me then:rotfl:). All part of the fact that I have no interest whatsoever in history and my own ancestry comes under that heading. I'm future-oriented - and inclined to get upset at people looking back hundreds of years if anything. I can't begin to understand people who think 20th/21st century people should be "at odds" with each other because their ancestors were:huh:

So you could encounter either of those two attitudes - if it's someone like my parent they'll have a fit. If it's someone like me - they'll just shrug and wonder why.

You could always find it's someone in the third category - ie isn't bothered about a stranger doing so and is interested to find out.

Just sayin' there's a chance it could be someone in the other two categories though.
