Cooking for one (Mark Three)

caronc

Good morning everyone, 
I'd be a bigamist then Wednesday as still officially wed! But even if I wasn't absolutely not once was enough!!!
I'm not sure about it being weeding weather here Farway, it's very windy and there are lots of black clouds gathering. If it's still dry this afternoon I might do a little tidying outdoors but have prep to do for a committee meeting (by Zoom) this evening .
Food is tbc, possibly corned beef for lunch and tonight will be a freezer grab of some description.

Brambling

I'm the one needing wanting to do weeding Farway and it looks like i should be able to after work if it stays dry.  Not enough for fig jam but you could roast your figs and have with yoghurt and a drizzle of honey 

Still thinking on what to eat today, I've got really lazy in menu planning    but it will be gammon and something for lunch and the mussels I've put off will need eating for dinner

There's an "unexpected choc stash" on my fridge shelf... fridge being otherwise entirely unpopulated except my stuff on one shelf I'm tending towards believing these are LL gifts for me being present/supportive during recent events.  But there's always the 1% chance that some idiot's decided that as my shelf's clean/neatly stacked they'll pop their things there too .... I'm going with LL gifts, but can't eat them until I've confirmation. 

Just back from Mr T.... the usual CFO bready dilemma.  The list said: bread, flatbreads and crumpets.  Got flatbreads (date 25th), got crumpets (date 24th) ... but couldn't also buy bread as that's dated 24th too   Can't eat all that lot in the timespan so bread lost out. 

Also piled into the trolley: 48 cans of fizzy pop (special price this week + bank holiday weekend + hottish weather), 12 packs of doritos, tub of marg, frozen cheesecake, 4 bananas, new cucumber, bag of pastilles, tin of beans.  The cheesecake goes straight into the fridge and it'll defrost, but still be good to eat for 2 days. I'll cut it into four pieces.  I also grabbed from the reduced shelf, as a special treat, a chicken curry, usual price £3.50, priced down to £1.92.  I nearly left it, but then considered what I'd eat instead and realised it was time I had a "treat/something different".  

I looked at the scant offerings of potato choices while in there, but really couldn't decide and didn't think any of the bags of spuds offered what I was looking for today..... I've still the last baking spud from the pack of four I bought, so there's no urgency.... 

I'm back in a position now of: Food overload.

I thought I had somehow missed the big announcement. I don't know what is wrong with me this week, today I thought it was Wednesday, yesterday I thought it was Tuesday!

You're a week early with the BH PN, it's not until the 31st!
Wednesday, I'm for ever doing that and having to check I haven't missed or taken  some of my meds twice!

Oh dear, sorry about the mix up Caron.

And roast figs etc sounds ideal, never had them but should be easy enough and as it's fruit the calories are void

Lunch plan changed because I was farting around with editing photos

Had a cheese & piccalilli sarnie

Good news on twin Granddaughters GCSEs, they are both happy with their results so in some respects all's well that ends well

I remember being so stressed about my GCSEs. Are they identical twins Farway? My husband has an identical twin brother.

Oh yeah ... it all rolls into one big blur doesn't it

The idea of being a twin is appealing... but they do need to be identical, else you've the pretty one or the slim one who always feels bad for their less pretty/chubby other twin.  The one dealt the least winning tokens forever has to live their life alongside the luckier one, the one they could've been.

Today's tally so far: 2 crumpets/marg, some pastille sweeties, a chicken korma curry/rice, 1/4 of a lemon cheesecake, a pack of doritos. 
I think that almost covers the major food groups.  

The Mr T chicken korma/rice retails at £3.50.  It was nice enough, nothing to write home about.  It certainly wasn't 5x better than the 70p frozen ones I buy.  Wouldn't ever rush to buy it reduced again and would never, ever, pay full price for that. 

Current status of: Anonymously appearing chocolate stash = still not ascertained their origin.
