Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Lol I used to use my sandwich toaster for various things but never thought about griddling veg in it. I suppose the wee Foreman grill that was my dad's would be good. That said the bbq gave the veg a gorgeous flavour.
Glad your SIL is through her chemo Brambling, must be a relief for everyone🙂. I with you re pineapple on pizza but I love gammon and pineapple.
The tacos were scrumptious and the bbq veg salsa worked really well with them. There's 1/2 a pack of taco shells left so I think we'll be having them again soon. I've some chicken thighs defrosting for tomorrow for either a stir fry or griddled with salad. We'll see how warm it is tomorrow and decide from there as it was distinctly chilly this evening and to drop to 2C in the early hours!

I've eaten a ton of "bad things" today; I doubt I can remember half of them.... I'll try. 
2 flatbreads/paste/tomato. 1 flatbread alone. 1 cup a soup. Many Rocky biscuits. 1 Pot Rice. 

It feels like I ate more than that, I'm getting very confused now about what I ate/when  

I bet you lot thought I couldn't keep up this endless ridiculous food eating for long didn't you  

The alternatives are: 1/ eat only fresh fruit, and go out and get it. 2/ give in and use the hideously grubby/coughed in/touched kitchen area where the lockdown ignorer entertains passing friends. 3/ eat very expensive hot/prepared/delivered meals.  

I do wish I had a box of crisps (32 packs or so)... I know the out of date place has some, but I don't want those ones (e.g. Walkers wasabi nonsense).  I got my W's ketchup box of 32 from there last month... but they've sold out.

Good news from my brother is my SIL finished her chemo just before lockdown, she still needs antibody treatment but the specialist is happy with her progress, she and my brother just have to stay shielded and hope to avoid CV19 

I rarely comment on here but have read the posts every day for years lol! So glad to hear your SIL is doing well and hope that she stays shielded.

Good news Brambling.x

I love pineapple on a pizza, along with jalapenos. It's my fav!

I have had 2 crumpets with marg and a soya yoghurt.

I'm going to do some stretching and will have some fresh fruit and green tea in about an hour. My husband bought some huge grapes from a Turkish supermarket.

I have leftover chickpea salad for lunch and I will make a tomato and chipotle seasoning soup as well. I was thinking that I never use the chipotle stuff and it's been in my cupboard for ages!

Morning all, sandwich toaster alternative uses has me thinking now. I have some middle aisle L's pasty folder things, pastry in, add filling, close up & seals & pretty crimps. I may have to look into that, normally I'd bung them in oven to cook but as CFO who cares what it looks like?

More sunshine ahead today, today is sort of day I wish I was not confined to barracks, the English bluebells must be out in nearby woods, in past years I've driven up there to photograph them and today would be ideal for that. Never mind, things could be a lot worse

While daydreaming and imaging planning the day  I forgot my breakfast porridge in the nuker A Vesuvius porridge eruption to clear up, but at least it doesn't smell like Brambling's chippy

Lunch, another cheese & salady sarnie, still with the Tiger bread which is keeping remarkably fresh

Dinner, cauliflower cheese. The cauli from T's is just the right size for a good potion with LOs, and I'll use PN's nuker method for the cheese sauce.

Uber lazy dinner planned ....a greggs steak bake with beans. I miss greggs so this will cheer me up

Bit of the tuna pasta left fro last night so I guess thats lunch but was a bit tasteless tbh as I only had mild cheddar ....boring 

Brambling good news re SIL

For making a pasty in a sandwich toaster, the filling would need to already be cooked, just like in a piemaker.  Raw pastry, cooked/cold filling.... it won't cook raw fillings in time. 

Glad you're still getting use of my sauce, it makes it perfectly every time, with complete control... and is lump free.  So/too easy. 

Current status: Still LL free... that was 3 nights out in a row, and still out

Good afternoon everyone, 
Hello threepenny👋
It's lovely and sunny here today after a frosty start. The breeze is pretty chilly though if you are in it. I want to pot on some seedlings later so will make sure I'm in a sheltered spot out of the wind. I made myself stay awake last night soo could nab a tesco slot for the 11th when they opened up. I woke at my usual time though so I don't think I'll be late in my bed tonight. My son is hoping the air fryer he's ordered arrives today in which case it's griddled chicken, salad and chips for dinner. If not I'll roast the chicken and bake some spuds to have with the salad. Lunch was some lurking, very ripe goat's cheese on crackers with baby plum toms and grapes.

Pasty, Ta, I'd only be using stuff like corned beef or cheese & diced onion anyway, I leave complicated stuff like steak & kidney to  W8rose or St Michael

Cauli prepped, sauce later. I may do few AF chips with it, I'll wait & see how large the finished item looks, the cauli was not as big as it looked, lot of leaf.

Not wishing ill, but maybe LL is isolating round her mates if the dry cough came to anything
