Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Brambling

Good deal on the beef Farway unfortunately we don't have a Morrison close to us and the nearest has just closed after only 5 years

I'm another one who boils eggs on the stove, I've visions of exploding eggs if I try to microwave them, and the last time I tried to poach them they turned into squash balls

Wednesday i picked up some 'blush' oranges YS in W8itrose lunch time

Lunch was the last of the chicken soup and dinner will be a lazy beef cheek ragu from the freezer

It seems if you announce to the office that 'I'm spartacus' half will join in or say 'I'm Brian' and the other half look like you are mad :rotfl:

see you all on the dark side tomorrow

The new forum is a bit weird. I've lost my cat avatar!
I didn't have much to eat yesterday and I had an early night so I have been eating non-stop today! I've had two sandwiches, crisps, a pear and a smoothie and it's only midday.

I'm going out to eat tonight so I had better not have any more food before I go out if I can help it.

Oh, I didn't know that. I was trying to put a new pic on there but couldn't work out how to do it.

Grr, I just got a call about the cafe I was supposed to be going to tonight has closed down as all the staff have come down with a virus!

Good afternoon everyone, 
So we're back! I never had a picture to lose so no harm done! I'm sure I'll get used to new look but I feel all fingers and thumbs at the moment. It's bitterly cold here today and beginning to get quite windy - "Ciara" is due to hit properly around lunchtime tomorrow and it looks as though we are in for a manky few days. Yesterday's scotch broth was delicious though I never got round to making dumplings , the latter part of the day seemed to run away from me so I ended up toasting a pitta to have with it. Lunch will be some more of it. Dinner is still in the tbc category.
 I see it's easier to add pictures now so as a "test" here's a picture of the cheese pudding I made last week

Not a gadget I need PN but handy if you want to nuke boil eggs.
I usually cook at least two as in a pan they take the same amount of time to cook.
Broth mix and stock are being pressure cooked - I best get veg chopping for stage 2:)

I have perfected the perfect boiled eggs, I bring to the boil and once boiling for about 5 minutes  tottaly forget about them  and 40 minutes later rush in and save them.. or I remember to turn off the heat and just leave them sitting in the hot water till I get the impetus to go sort them lol

Farway

Back again, all bit weird but no doubt I'll get used to it, as 24 hours have passed I can't remember if I had an avatar or not. Just gone looking for emoticons for a blushing face, no idea where they are either. :|found some

Frosty morning, L's first thing, found YS Extra mature cheddar, BBE March, loads of time for me to scoff it. Plus bought blood oranges as mentioned & my memory triggered, 5 in my 99p pack

lunch was LO & last of the cheese pud, eaten cold, it's fine for me

Taken a gammon steak out to defrost for tonight's dinner, I'll grill that alongside a slightly wrinkled tom, plus fried eggs, mushrooms fried in EVO + butter, plus HM AF chips

I bought jumbo !!!!!! on offer in L's but plenty of use by date left, could be another FF sarnie on the horizon

Practice picture posting, Chichester cathedral last Sunday, oops, came out larger than I thought, more blushing

Lovely picture Farway, I've worked out where I went wrong attaching mine lol

Avatar sorted, couple of choc bikkies until I find something different

PasturesNew

Been out to a special fortnightly meeting I've recently joined/attended.
Upon return nuked a Mr T S/S chicken and rice... nice enough, will buy again, 75p.  It's as good as/better than a lot of other "cheap" versions, so that'll do. 
Sitting.... unable to "settle" ... in case I stop being "home alone", which is something that can potentially occur without notice.   
I really fancy .... some sweeties.

EDIT: B4lls.  I am no longer "home alone".... the traveller returns.
