Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Farway

Lunch scoffed, found a lonely single LO sausage roll from my last shopping, can't believe it was over a week ago in L's. Anyway I scoffed that as well

I thought I would go shopping on Friday, to coincide with my foot appointment, but had a call, feet cancelled so I shan't bother shopping as i can survive a few more days.

Milk will be the pressing problem early next week

Caron, I was thinking about PN also, now with failed MOT,  the lock down & house viewings more or less cancelled it could be quite depressing stuck in one room. If you're reading this PN I hope you are OK

On a brighter note, spotted this in my garden as I was eating lunch in the conservatory

Wednesday2000

I'm in an Ocado virtual queue. I'm number 11,000 out of over 12,000 people.

I had a vegan bacon sandwich for breakfast.

I had a slice of toast with a mashed avocado and cherry toms, a packet of crisps and some red grapes for lunch.

What a lovely sunny day out there! Been out in the garden lots today enjoying it.
Today Ive had 
breakfast- peanut butter porridge
lunch- vegetable soup and garlic bread (barely anything in the fresh section of the shop this morning so came out with parsnips and leeks...hence spicy parsnip, leek and carrot soup! Also so glad everybody hates that vegan garlic bread as there was tons left).
tea- will be hm chilli and chips. Will actually measure a proper portion of chips and not just eyeball it and stuff my face.
My soupmaker is def proving to be the star of this whole thing. Ive given up bread for lunch and now just chuck whatever random veggies I have in the soup maker instead!

I read some where Wednesday that it may count down to 1000 and then either log you out or move you back up the queue.  It was all very well for Boris to say we all need to use online deliveries but the SMs can't cope.  I've also seen that some of the problem is as a nation we usually only get 60% of our weekly food from supermarkets the rest is eating out (someone is using my share  ) which has added to the problem

Brambling, sod's law, today's news, MOTs due after 30 March now extended 6 months

My only consolation is that in six months time I bet all the garages will be booked up 🙂 Love the picture definitely a sign that spring is well and truly sprung  I nearly stepped on a very large bee when I went to the bin earlier I wished I had thought to get my camera as it was lovely 

Wednesday I hope you got your shopping slot ok 

surprisingly my MRI is still occurring tomorrow morning, they phoned to check if I was coming as people weren't turning up and moved it to from 7.00am to 8.00am 🙂 seeing it's usually a 45 minute drive (I'm hoping less traffic 😉) I don't have to be up so early.  The scanner is near the hospital entrance so no wandering in the germ factory.  I weighed it up and felt if I turned it down it would be  awhile before I get another appointment and who knows how long before they stop them as part of the lock down

Working from home becomes boring when you live alone, his lordship has limited conversation 😺 although he did join the conference call today he was determined to sit on my lap which wasn't possible when I was sitting at the table and he then walked across the key board 🐾🐾

you can't expect a cat to accommodate anybody Caronc after all they're in charge 🙂
  
Lunch was another bowl of my minestrone soup which was more like minestrone stew with a slice of crusty bread.  Dinner was bubble and squeak with a couple of fried eggs on top

Hi Guys.

Hoping PN is ok, I've missed her posts

Another sunny day ahead, the sun has unexpected advantages. As I was out the front deadheading the daffs yesterday a neighbour a few doors up asked if I was OK and told me her daughter now has a job in Tesco's and will get me stuff if I need it, just pop a note through door.

Now that is very handy, I'll test run the offer this weekend for milk, bread & bananas, it's the fresh items needed, man cannot live on rump steak alone

They've been scoffing mine as well. Hope the MRI goes OK, I've never had the full one but suspect I'd not like it, claustrophobia, the only one I had was the Halo jobby on my bonce

One plus of lock in, getting the hang of Whats App sort of, actually had video calls with the "kids" yesterday. DD needed the 15 YO GD to sort the 'phone camera for her of course, and at one stage I had sound but no vision

Porridge breakfast, with the last banana sliced into it

Lunch, I fancy a fish paste sarnie but I've no FP, so it's peer into pantry & see if anything takes my fancy, there's always jam of course

Dinner, I've taken a chunk of smoked haddock out to defrost and that is as far as it has gone so far

Good morning everyone, 
Hope the MRI goes okay Brambling
You could always make your own FP Farway if you've any tinned fish , just mash thoroughly with some butter and cream   cheese/yoghurt. Splash of lemon juice or vinegar and S&P and you're sorted. Not quite the same as the jarred stuff but tasty.
I'm still pretty busy with the voluntary stuff so not much else planned for today. It's drizzling out so not a day for gardening.
Next door's cat is sleeping peacefully on a chair after a very yowly prowl round the house on high alert!! 
Bangers and mash for us tonight, it's my turn to cook so will get most of prepped this morning.

Brambling - I was in the Ocado queue for 3 hours and then they said there were no slots left! I hope your MRI goes okay.

I've had toast and crisps so far today. My usual CBA food.

Farway

Lunchtime sarnie finished up as a Marmite one, quick N easy without effort

The smoked haddock has defrosted, still no ideas what to serve with it but I have one wrinkly tom so may chuck that in oven with the haddock, CBA to knock up some mash.

Could have cheese & apple later I guess

Sowed some runner beans in loo rolls, my bean plans have been altered a bit with the CV and possibility of being stuck in for a few months
