Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Farway

The rain has arrived in bucket fulls, it's tipping down but I see snowy scenes further north

Luckily my only outside job is fill the household waste wheelie bin for collecting tomorrow, I'll do that once there's a gap in the rain

The chicken has done well in stretching, made loads of casserole yesterday, with two generous portions LO

I'll be using the leg pickings to make Coronation chicken style sarnie for lunch and add in some Iceberg for today's bit of green veggies

Dinner, couple of posh bangers out defrosting, my pack of delivered spuds has some whoppers in there again, just one will make plate of chips

I could make mash but CBA and then I'm left with LO mash. I foresee a huge baked spud with cheesy beans coming along soon

Dinner will be posh bangers, chips + LO beans

We made coronation chicken wraps for lunch the other day, they were yummy. No idea why but not something I would usually make, but would happily buy in a filled sandwich.

chilly here but still no snow which is unusual for us ... normally the snow has been here since Halloween and then stays till May. No predictions for a green (read brown really!) Christmas as snow should arrive the end of next week and give us a colder, harsher Alberta winter.  Nice while it lasts though  
Tea tonight is chicken stew and dumplings in the slow cooker, with a couple of portions to add to the freezer for over the coming weeks.

Good afternoon everyone, 
We've avoided the forecasted snow, just some very lumpy rain first thing instead though there was a good sprinkling just a few miles inland. It's blooming cold and to hit well below freezing once it get darks. 
Rountinely domestic morning catching up on laundry and sorting out tomorrow's grocery delivery. Later I must write a couple of cards that are goo going abroad so I can post them when I'm in town tomorrow. Last of the HM lentil soup was polished off for lunch and tonight I'm cooking a sausage, veg and bean chilli which we'll have with baked spuds and grated cheese.

I'm another fan of coronation chicken, I like it left overnight for the favours to blend and during the summer I've been known to mix with cold pasta to make a more substantial salad 

like Farway we've had a lot of rain today and they are forecasting sleet tomorrow morning followed by more rain   all this rain has reminded me I need a bigger compost container for the kitchen as my current recycled ice cream tub is ok for daily trips up the garden in the dry but the lawn was a bit boggy to cross today and it was wet  (I know how to treat myself  )

lunch was another portion of HM soup with one portion left for tomorrow and the last one frozen.  Dinner was lambs liver, a rasher of bacon, mash, purple sprouting and French beans - all from the farm shop 🙂

Looks dull & cold outside, I'll not be venturing out to find out though

I was picking my XCFO bits from on line Ice£and yesterday, nothing exciting but fancied some odds & s0ds for a mini help myself when I fancy it food

Frozen mini doughnuts & choc brownies are two items, neither of which I would ever make.

Just remembered I have to add a jelly to the list, the annual trifle is due an outing

Lunch today will be HG apple + cheese + crackers

Dinner, nuked LO chicken casserole + LO dumplings

Very much a non cooking for one day

Good afternoon everyone, 
Lots of snow round about but we've just got sleety rain. It's a properly cold and manky day which unfortunately I have to venture out in as I'm getting my flu jab, need to collect meds and visit the post office.
Ham sarnie and fruit for lunch. Dinner is tbc, my son will no doubt have a chippy and I'll raid the freezer.

I love these kind of dishes with pasta and use leftovers for lunch at work. Co workers look at my dinner and think I have spent ages prepping stuff    I don't know how they  can spend 10 minutes in a drive through getting their lunch each day and then think they haven't time to make their own lunch!!

Nothing much to report for meals today - found a box with a few home made meatballs in last night so have them in the slow cooker with bbq sauce, some tomato ketchup, bendy peppers, celery and onion. Will have over rice for a nice easy tea.
