Cooking for one (Mark Three)

 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!! 

When I go to the office my lunches tend to be left overs from the previous night dinner, HM soups & salads.  If my weekly menu plan doesn't allow me LOs I'll plan on Sunday to make something for lunches whilst cooking Sunday dinner 

Caronc so no thundersnow in your part of the country? 

I didn't fancy soup for lunch so popped it in the freezer for another day and had the last of my stewed rhubarb with Greek yoghurt and snacked on a apple at 4pm.  Dinner was a prawn and veg risotto (peas, broad beans & sweetcorn) and a side of broccoli.  Not planned but there are LOs enough for lunch tomorrow

According to the news we had some thunder snow bangs just before 6am but I was soundly snoozing and never heard them zzzz

Looking very dull & Decembery outside with and cold wind with spots of rain in it. Indoors today I think, especially now my umpteenth hand old Russian lens arrived this morning it will be camera playtime later

Lunch, just another cheese & salady sarnie

Dinner, nuke last of the LO chicken casserole + dumpling

I've arranged another on line grocery order for Christmas week, would you believer there aren't any Click & collect slots left, amazing.

Thought I'd book a delivery slot order sharpish which will allow me to amend the order right up until the evening before delivery

Only thing left to do is amend my posh meat order now Brighton Blue cheese is in stock

Update, since I started typing it is now sleeting down, brrrr

Good afternoon everyone, 
Our manky weather has moved on and we've a lovely dry and sunny day. Blooming baltic though and as I found out when I went to the bin a tad slippery underfoot in places!
My son is busy priming woodwork and I'm trying to not get too much in the way. I've a pan of tomato sauce simmering, some for the freezer and some for HM pizza tonight. The dough  from a batch made a while ago is defrosting in the fridge , just need to decide on toppings. 
I'm trying to avoid the temptation of the Seasalt sale.......

I deleted the Sea Salt email without opening it   😁 so the CC is safe

I had a bad start to the day  first my electric trip switch went when I put the TV on for breakfast news and later my hair dryer blew up complete with a bang and smoke   I don't use it much at the moment as I'm not going to the office so I think it's been sulking.  I decided against putting the washing machine on today   

I parked my car at my sister to dry my hair before going into town and grabbed a cuppa when she took a break from decorating and went In for a sandwich on the way back  I wasn't in town long as I couldn't get my head around doing any shopping, my Christmas present list has nothing crossed out yet 🥺 it may be a online shop and I've a 80th birthday present to buy too 🤔  I did pick up a venison steak and eggs from the farmers market but no Brighton Blue cheese 

Dinner was the LO prawn risotto and as it was only a small portion I added some broccoli and a hard boiled egg 

Farway

Actual sunshine & some blue sky, but only outside activity has been potting up some African Violets I grew from leaf cuttings

Easy meals day today

Lunch a cheese & salady bits sarnie

Dinner, stab & ping mac cheese

Has anyone heard from or of PN?

Good afternoon everyone, 
I think PN is sadly still banned. 
Cold and frosty here today, the ice didn't stop the roofer though so my repairs got done as planned this morning. My son has been busy painting and after I've had my feet up for a bit we'll start sorting out the chaos. Roast chicken for dinner tonight with spuds, sprouts, mashed swede and gravy. 
I didn't manage to resist the temptation of the seasalt sale.... 😉

Stop trying to tempt me Caronc with all this talk of SeaSalt 😁 I've been wearing a couple of long sleeve T shirts brought in their end of winter sale after last Christmas 50% off and wished they had more than two colours as they are so soft and wash really well as is the thick jumper I brought also 50% off 🙂

lunch was a quick crab stick, avocado and watercress salad. Dinner a lovely if not larger than expected piece of rump steak with mushrooms, onions, French beans, tenderstem broccoli and jacket potato topped with goats cheese mixed with garlic and fresh garden herbs.  The goats cheese mix was from the freezer saved from the last time I stuffed mushrooms .  The steak was a 25% off from W8itrose fished out the freezer

A frosty morning today, dull & overcast as well.

Made a loaf in the Panny, using a Morries RM pack, and because of that I am defrosting two posh bangers for a lunchtime sausage sarnie

Dinner will be another stab & ping frozen MFO, this time it's Chicken curry & Egg fried rice

I'm trying to ensure I have plenty of freezer space for my meat delivery next week

I went on the site to add Brighton Blue cheese, now OOS , curses, I did add some more FR pork though. I'll try again mid week
