Cooking for one (Mark Three)

So glad You've got a place sorted PN , hopefully you'll be able to relax a bit now 😁
I've chipped my tooth on a sunflower seed in my toast, so am dosed up on pills, n oragel .Dentist not reopening for weeks yet 🙄
Have had crackers dipped in hummus for tea .Cba cooking at all today .
Not impressed, that my Sis in law is taking the kids to the protest in Manchester tomorrow 🙄So thousands of people gathering en masse, n no doubt spreading covid germs 🤬

Good news about the room PN I know it's not what you want but you were a lot less unhappy there than where you are and better the devil you know 

Caronc just think next year you're have a 30 year old 

Candy I think some dentists are opening next week for emergencies only I saw one on breakfast news this morning saying he would only be able to see one patient ever 90 mins so only 5 or 6 a day rather than 40 or 50 a day.  Maybe if you call them you could get on a list? Or I believe they also send a DIY emergency filling kit. Hopefully you sister won't regret her decision 

i use my lunch break to dash into town so no need to go in tomorrow and less of a queue I didn't need much and decided I needed nothing from the farmers market

lunch was LO pasta with a veg and tomato sauce the final portion is in the freezer.  Dinner was the small piece of beef I brought last weekend YS with cabbage, runner beans, carrots and roasted parsnips, it was a very nice piece of beef   when the oven was on I cooked a small piece of gammon also M&S hardly any shrinkage and good valve at less than a £5 for 750g.  There will be cold beef and cold gammon for the weekend and maybe bubble and squeak with the gammon one night

Hope the dates can click together PN, rotten when you're at the whim of others I know

Sleepless night last night, tum ache, I suspect it was the cabbage, had some outer leaves which even though I cooked it to death, so maybe more whatever in them?

Not that it matters really nothing planned today, highlight will be ND arriving with the shopping

Dull & windy out there today which will at least may keep the loons from crowding onto beaches

Ever since my neighbour inflated their adult large size paddling pool the weather has turned, Jonah is next door

No idea for lunch, sarnie of some sort, some of you cold gammon would do nicely Brambling

Dinner, possibly a frozen cod fillet in breadcrumbs, with HM AF chips & nuked frozen peas. Not enough of my own yet ready for podding

Good afternoon everyone,
Hope your tooth isn't too sore CG and your tum settles Farway. 
Fingers crossed your dates work out okay PN. 
Oyr virtual get together last night was good though went on a bit longer than I thought it would, mainly because my sis forgot about it and was in the middle of dying her roots when we started lol!! Afterwards my son opted for a chippy which I didn't fancy so it was quick freezer raid for a ping lasagne which I had with some mushrooms and the last of last year's broad beans from the garden.
The weather yesterday evening was dire more like winter than early summer but thankfully it has eased a bit today and supposed to get better as the day goes on. Earlier I had a bakery order delivered so brunch was a tasty bacon and tattie scone roll with a splodge of HP. Easy dinner planned for tonight of seeded baton rolls stuffed with bratwurst, onions, mushrooms and tomato. I've a piece of caramel shortcake for after and my son an apple turnover. It looks as though the bakery will be reopening it's two shops in the next town over coming weeks, I do hope they keep the delivery service to other areas going as their products are lovely.

 I tried the spam fritter 

I used to love those when I was a kid. I wonder if I could make a vegan version!

I've been eating healthily this week and I've lost a pound.

I fell down the stairs yesterday so I'm really not in the mood for eating healthy food today. I'm covered in bruises.

 I had toast and Marmite for breakfast and now I'm having a strong vodka and soda. Pain killing drink!

You deserve that, earned with every bounce

Lunch finished up as CBS fried egg sarnie

Dinner, looking more & more like a stab & ping now.

Wish I had a lovely stodgy LO stew in the freezer but I don't, nearest is a YS vegan chilli which I can't raise any enthusiasm for

candygirl

Hope you're a bit less sore after the vodka WEDNESDAY 😉
I'm making a chick pea n spinach curry for later, n having garlic naan with it .Haven't has curry for ages, after over dosing on it in Goa
FARWAY , the vegan chilli might be better than you think , if not add a few extra spices maybe.

I hope you're not too bruised or sore Wednesday having done it I know it can be a shock 

Today the grey skies has at least produced some rain  the garden is happy, the timing could have been better as it waited until I was in town.  I brought a couple of pairs of linen tapered trousers online from M&S in their sale, I wear them for work during the summer. Both were the same size although one was regular length and the other short, the short pair fitted the regular were too tight on my rear. It makes no sense surely if any the short one should be smaller in the body 🙄 I took them back to the store and got "it does depend where they were made as to the sizing" 🤬 I find it really annoying do they not cut from patterns  😡

I'm waiting for some long narrow planters to go in the garden, they were easier to find than narrow raised beds, there was no compost at the garden centre nearest to me but one of the local pubs has a pop up shop and he had some at £1 a bag more expensive than the garden centre but having planters would no compost would be like giving a child a toy at Christmas with no batteries  and saved me driving around and queuing at other garden centres. I've some dwarf blackberries and raspberries on order and brought a fruit bush which is meant to be a cross between black currant and gooseberry to go in them 

i ended up home one later than I planned so lunch was some fruit.  Dinner was gammon, bubble and squeak with LO runner beans and carrots, dollop of piccalilli on the side

Sun's back today, good job because this morning is Click & Collect from Asd@.

Most things I ordered seem to have made it, except tomato fertiliser & dishwasher salt, hardly big problems. I had up size on the mayo, but deliberate or not the large one is reduced price & small had increased & was OOS. Sounds too much like a cunning plan in play there

With me it's take spices out not add more.

In the end I finished up with a MFO Ice£and mince & potato thing. It cost £1 and was as expected for a quid, did the job

Lunch thinking a cheese & summat sarnie, easy & i'll be unpacking my C & C

Dinner, one of my rootling freezers finds, YS macaroni cheese just past it's first birthday in the freezer, another MFO that does the job I reckon

Hope it's not like that mermaid cross joke, face of a cod & lower half of lady.

I'm thinking of small berries on a very prickly plant
