Cooking for one (Mark Three)

PasturesNew

I went and got the wine gums from the car and finished the bag off.

About an hour ago I had two cheapo fishcakes in two flatbreads with a splash of hot ketchup.

Personally I'd rate the 1celand £1/10 fishcakes over the Mr T £1.25/10 ones. Size/consistency the same, but the 1celand taste has a bit more going for it.
I just checked, 1celand are 42.5g each, Mr T are 50g each. 1celand ones have more fat and less salt, so that's probably what makes the difference.

1celand are 41% cod, Mr T are 45% cod.

I nearly ended up in Food Warehouse on Friday, as I need to stock upon fishy stuff that's either boil in the bag, or oven bake, for those 'who's going to the vet' days but got a little YS bounty from Waitrose first so decided to not overfill the freezer in case someone else launches a new vegan ready meal & Mrs Un can't fit it in the freezer. In other news, the sea bass en papillote was a success, salt & peps, on the fish then lemon zest, thinly sliced padrons, leek, courgette, society garlic, cherry tomatoes quartered, crushed garlic, olive oil (of course), capers and tripoline pasta. And since the chompers have been okay today, some crusty bread as well.

.... the majority of which I'll now have to Google.

As they say .... "you're dead posh, you."

Padrons: Small gnarly peppers.
Society garlic: Wild garlic of sorts, a plant/flower. Deters moles.
Capers: Furren, round green things.
Tripoline pasta: flat/long pasta strips, with one edge ruffled, so the sauce sticks better.

I notice the absence of any oven chips though!

Cooking implies using a power source to heat food to above room temperature.

Today you chose the climate change/green/eco route of restricting your energy usage in favour of foods which didn't require you to unnecessarily waste the planet's resources.

Well done

Change of plans today.

Today's planned P & ham soup has been postponed due to last night phone call, going over to meet DS's family at M & S super store.

Not me driving so only need my wallet:) I may have "brunch" there depending on timing, they stop serving breakfast in order to[STRIKE] cash in [/STRIKE]serve Sunday lunch

The ham stock & soaking dried peas are on standby. I noticed the dried peas are BBE June 2008:o, so a few more hours wait should be OK.

Depending on when I return I'll either make the soup later today or more likely tomorrow now

The SC FR ham hock was super, I must order some more while the Jan 20% offer is on

Hard frost & bright sunshine, with the DS trip my continue garden tidy up is also postponed:j

Breakfast was porridge, banana, HM yoghurt + last of local honey. Note to self, check out M & S posh honey while I'm in there

Dinner, ????? depends how day turns out, now the air fryer is on stream chips is always an option. The AF does better job on frozen chips than my Actifry did, ,maybe it's the temperature?

I had to check how to spell half of it

And had chips on Friday

Came back with YS 2 pack of M & S tuna fishcakes, looks like fishcakes, frozen chips & nuked peas for dinner.

I'm going to try and cook the F cakes in the air fryer at same time as the chips, may need a bit of shuffling around to fit, I suppose theoretically the F cakes could be stood / propped on their edge as it is only hot circulating air.

Maybe a Dragons Den idea, spend a fivetune on something like a toast rack for cooking vertical FCs:D
