Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Are we sure PN isn't dead?

Brambling

Gt568 hopefully she's de stressing after a stressful 6 months and a move.

It was flying ant day here, my sister popped round for a couple hours and we gave up sitting in the garden, it looks like my large bay tree pot had a nest as it was covered in them.  I did get told off as I caught the sun whilst gossiping with my neighbour yesterday, the V from a tee shirt and my face, unfortunately I was partially shaded by the porch so parts of me are redder than other 🙄 just as well I'm working from home 😁

lunch was the last of the beef in a wrap with salad.  Dinner was prawn and avocado salad with new potatoes 

now I'm having thoughts of pizza but I've courgettes to use first 😳

Yesterday I found my memory of pizza in the freezer was a false memory, thus it was an Ice£and YS Vegan No Bull chilli jobby, nuked OK, did the job, and for 25p I'm not complaining

Completed my @sda C & C list, took a lot longer now I have to think ahead without ND getting fresh dairy etc for me

I was using Morries this time but changed horses mid order because I found they do not have a facility to specify No Subs, which is of no use to me, they've now lost my long term C & C custom, shame 'cos being nearer to me they would be slightly more convenient, plus a few points on the card

Regarding parking, social distancing etc Morries here is on par with @sda, very easy

Sunny again, out watering the plant pots at the back early on, very dry despite the recent rain

I need to check on the French beans, do I have enough for dinner today or tomorrow?

Snails have scoffed one lot I noticed, despite being in a wall trough 4 feet off the ground, must parachute in, or abseil from the cherry tree

Lunch, looking like cheese & salady sarnie

Dinner, depending on FBs it may be on offer Pukka veggie pie with fresh veg and mash, or with chips

Good afternoon everyone, 
I've found snails and slugs surprisingly good climbers, especially if there is a juicy seedling to be had!
We did resort to pizza last night with the bits and bobs of salads LO from Saturday. Steak dinner tonight to look forward to😁. It's raining here today so my son is sorting out the glory hole that is the garage with view that it becomes a space I can actually get into. Lots of junk is going to the dump, my ex has had 14 years to claim it and time is not up! My son has just gone to B&Q to buy panels for shelving so hopefully in the not too distant future it will be a useful space again. While he was busy out there I gutted the fridge with a view of organising the multitude of bottles and jars that have gathered as a result of combining two kitchens, it was getting to the point where it was hard to get actual food in there. It's all clean and tidy now and he's been warned not to jumble it back up🤣.
Lunch was a ham and Brie salad wrap with plums and grapes for pud.

I've found snails are good at climbing walls especially if there is an incentive 

My neighbour swapped SM deliveries this week and ended up with two identical SM shops the same day as she forgot to cancel one I found it more amusing than she did but luckily they had room in their freezer but there will be a lot of fruit salad eaten in their house this week  

Lunch was a fish finger sandwich with tartar sauce and rocket for the first time in years I had a bone in my fish fingers  otherwise the M&S cod ones have been on par with the Captains.  Not sure about dinner as I didn't take anything out of the freezer this morning, I do have ingredients to make something with my courgette glut but it will probably be jacket potato with tuna mayo and maybe some HG french beans and salad stuff I'll see where the mood takes me later.  I snacked on fresh pineapple this afternoon and finished the cherries so I'm not that hungry at the moment

There is a new cat in the Close not sure where he has come from but there was a standoff earlier, it's an adult cat and looks very similar to his lordship maybe just a little chunkier with a few spots as well as stripes.    I shooed him away and his lordship is now patrolling the front garden and probably peeing in corners to mark it as his

Morries drivers usually take unwanted subs back but aren't currently allowed to.  Not used a Morries C&C but I've used the online form to request a home delivery sub refund & the money was returned very quickly.  Might be the same process with C&C, if they're not allowing you to reject subs when you collect.

Hi everyone. I haven't posted on here in a while.

I had houmous and olives with pitta bread for breakfast along with a couple of cups of green tea.

I'm having a Quorn fishless fillet with veggies and salad for an early lunch.

Thanks Jellie, I only use C & C, no slots ever available so C & C less than a mile suits me.

You can reject subs, but you only find out just before collection and TBH for some items I'd rather not have them in the first place, for instance some cheeses.

If I order Stilton it is because that is what I want, not fussed with subs for say detergent or biscuits

Up early and off to spot of gardening in the volunteer border

Not as early or busy as my son in law, today he is swimming the Channel, went into the water at Dover around 0430, expects to land in France around 9 tonight, tides & wind permitting. For charity of course.

He was about halfway & in the shipping lanes when I last looked, but due to tides you can swim but get nowhere forward, just go sideways along the French coast

Back for lunch, just sandwich spread,CBA to think too long or hard about it

Dinner, thinking about pasta with own French beans, if so I'll try the @sda chunky veg pasta sauce, just to check before I order any more

I may open a tin of tuna and bung that in as well

Good afternoon everyone, 
Good luck to you son in law Farway!
Dull and damp here but dryish after fairly heavy rain first thing. 
My son has finished building the garage shelving and has headed fishing with my nephew for a few hours up Loch Doon. I expect it will be midgie city and they plan to light a small and smokey fire to try and keep them at bay!
I'm psyching myself up to start taming the greenhouse as the tom plants are getting out of control. 
Lunch was a very tasty though calorific pan cooked cheese, ham and chilli jam toastie with fresh peas and salad. I'm not sure about tonight as the boys may well head for a chippy on the way home but if not I'll either cook pasta with a broccoli, pesto and spinach sauce or make a cheats chicken katsu curry.
