Cooking for one (Mark Three)

PasturesNew

Today I've had so far: Salmon paste sandwiches with 3 slices of bread and 1 pot of paste and 4 squares of chocolate.

I did think about going for chips, but the LL's present and I get anxious/jumpy when anybody else is about (especially her), so didn't want to raise my profile by going out.... sounds odd, but I think it's part of the ASD traits about not wanting to be seen/looked at, nor wanting others to see/watch what we're doing as people have a tendency to speak or interfere or tell us we're doing something wrong or should've done something different.   It's only Monday though, which is too soon in the week for chips really.  Last bag was Friday, 10 days ago. 

I think the LL's sitting in her car in the drive with her music on ... window open ... and coughing!  If I were coughing I'd not be out in the drive where people/neighbours could be aware and start to make their brains whir, in case one started a rant about ethnicity or the amount of visitors seen.  Oh, hold on ... she's out there talking to somebody, it must be another visitor. 

EDIT: Yes, a visitor, in the kitchen. Female. 

EDIT 2: Cooking, must have brought food to be microwaved/cooked, to stay and eat. 

EDIT 3: They've moved into the back garden. Yeah, go on, eat your food out there, in full view of the neighbours. *rolls eyes*.

It's the sheer audacity that staggers me.

I just ordered a Coop delivery with Deliveroo. Half the order is missing (as I thought it might be) but at least I got a few bits and pieces. Handy to have the app in these times.

How much does that delivery cost? Is there a minimum?
Not for me to try, just information/out of interest.

CARONC , I'm getting Mum an air fryer for her birthday,  at the end of the month
FARWAY I kept getting calls from China a while ago, n they suddenly stopped, thank God!

Glad you're feeling better Wednesday 

Enjoy your sons' new toy Caronc   

With my mobile phone if I don't recognise the number I don't answer unless I'm expecting a call and not sure on a number.  If they don't leave a message I don't call the number back and ask why they were calling me but it can get annoying.  Last year after three calls on my land line I told the foreign gentleman from 'microsoft' to loudly F off 😐 in my defence it was 7am Good Friday morning, 'Simon' didn't call me back after that 😁

 Grey but warm day although it felt chilly in doors and I didn't realised how warm it was until I went out to the rubbish otherwise a normal working day here.  Lunch was a egg mayonnaise and smoke pork salad sandwich.  Dinner was cold chicken and LO veg from the weekend.  LO Chicken in some guise again tomorrow I have rhubarb brought from the farm shop and the angel on one shoulder is saying stew it the devil on the other is saying rhubarb crumble and custard   it will depend on how the day goes and how many meetings

The Deliveroo website didn't work for me (it said my order failed) so someone told me to try the app instead. I got a message saying a lot of the food was missing but then what was still delivered was there less than 25 mins later to my house! I was really shocked to see the rider pulling up so quickly after I placed the order.I didn't even know you could do this.

The delivery cost for Coop was less than £2 and I gave the rider £2 tip as well. 

It's all contactless as well at the moment. The tip is added to the order.

Good morning everyone,
Locally we have the "smart shopper" app that a few of the independent  convenience stores use, it's usually about £2/3 for delivery and delivered within a couple of hours. They seem to be doing good business just now, the COOP isn't on it but one of the shops stocks a range of COOP products.
Another one here who doesn't answer unknown numbers, I get spells of calls from different numbers trying to chase whoever previously had my mobile number many years ago. It dies off for a while and then the debt must get passed on and it starts again. I just ignore them now.
I had the most obscure dream last night where I was trying to explain BODMAS to my sister who isn't known for her love of maths, I was very glad to wake up 
It's another lovely day here, chilly just now but supposed to get quite warm later. I really need to tidy out my "tupperware" shelves as it's a case of open the door and hope for the best so will get it done this morning before the kitchen gets too warm. Apart from a few routine chores I plan to spend the rest of the day outdoors. No dinner prep needed as we are having the ragu from the freezer we never got round to last week so just some pasta to cook and a salad to pop together this evening. Last night's aubergine & potato curry was lovely though one of these bung it togethers that is difficult to replicate exactly again, quantity wise there should have been leftovers but my son decided to have second helpings!

I've never used them, or Uber come to that, it must depend where you live surely? I can imagine it's OK in city or large suburban town.

I saw M & S have teamed up with them but not in my area though

On similar subject I've just signed up [not ordered] for Click & Collect at Sainsbob & Morries.

Not needed so far but trying to think ahead as the CV evolves and lock-down changes. I can't see me voluntarily mooching around a store yet

Cool & windy today, I've taken some LO XCFO sliced roast turkey out to defrost, I was looking for the other FR pork chop but it's AWOL

Lunch will be the remaining PB baguette with BLT innards. PB baguettes are one item I'd add to my C & C, if in stock would be the problem

Dinner, going for full on roast again, with the LO turkey, Aunt B's roasties, carrots, steamed savoy cabbage & broccoli

I think I've sorted the Chinese 'phone calls, the free app allows blocking of part numbers, so I've blocked all beginning +86 which is China code. Fingers crossed

I never answered any of them, I sometimes wonder what they wanted, or even if I would understand them?

Yes, probably. My brother told me about the app and he is in London (although not the same area as me).  My brother said his delivery came within an a hour and I thought that was fast. I was just shocked at the speed of delivery for me last night. Pretty impressive really.

I've never actually used Uber either. I'm not too up to speed on modern technology.
