Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Brambling

I tried to convince myself that it was Sunday when the alarm went off this morning, I think it was because I worked Saturday 😐 unfortunately the furry alarm clock has no snooze button 🙄

lunch was a burger and fried onions in a pita.  Dinner was going to be JOs white fish tagine but the cod haven't defrosted (not sure why) and as I wasn't that hungry I decided it would be ok as it's in the fridge until tomorrow.  So dinner was a slice of courgette and carrot cake from the freezer 😁 definitely a CFO meal.  

 I need to keep an eye on the fridge freezer as at nearly 15 I think it will be the next thing to go, so I suppose I had better look to eating enough out of the freezers to be able to condense down into the one should it decide to die on me, I also need to eat all the HG veggies lurking in the bottom before this years crop

Having chilli and rice today - bunged lots of peppers, onion, carrots chopped tiny, beans and small amount of mince beef here. Cold old day but blue sky so it tricks you into believing it is nice out lol!  Took out a Christmas turkey leg from freezer for tomorrow - stew and dumplings I think.

Breezy & mild out, ventured out for essential milk from the Co-op, plus some bananas, I was hoping to find a nice cauli but most of the shelves were empty so no luck there, at least they had milk

They also had yeast & bread flour, not that I need any but just checking "in case"

Went mad last night & had a bowl of Weetabix with some XCFO ice cream on top, something I just fancied & it went down a treat despite having had a decent dinner

Lunch today, LO cold pizza, 2 small slices and probably heat though Smart Price C & O pasty

Dinner, stab & ping something I think, if I can find a curry or Chinese lurking in the freezer

Good afternoon everyone,
I hope all who are going to be in the direct path of the storm are snug and safe. It looks as though we are due to miss the worst of it. It's dry here just now but that very calm way that usually precedes a storm. I've had a quick check outdoors to make sure everything is as secure as it can be and have topped up the indoor log pile. I'm ready for a  and a sit down before I see what's next on today's "to do"!
I'm waiting for our First Minister to announcement an extension to our current restrictions date, a case I think of how long for rather if they will as the current ones are due to end on 1st Feb.
Our planning for the "Restaurant at home" meal for my sister's birthday this weekend is pretty much finalised, I'm sure she will be delighted.  It won't be as good as getting together but lovely to have something nice to forward to in these gloomy times.
The lamb saag we had yesterday was delicious ,a bit of a faff to set up with the various pre-cooking steps but it certainly came together quickly enough at the end. There's spare portions for the freezer, I just need to find a space for them now. 
HM soup for lunch and spag bol for dinner using ragu from a batch I made a couple of weeks ago.

Evening all 🙂

quick lunch of a veggie pita pizza, using a pita from the freezer. Dinner was a disappointment, well the cod was, I brought some frozen from Iceland for the first time and it was thin and very spongy once defrosted so I decided against the JO recipe and bread crumbed it and made AF chips I'm afraid half the fish was thrown away 😐 his lordship doesn't like fish so the half packet left in the freezer will either be binned or taken to a friend for her cat.  I hate wasting food but I was really not impressed with the cod it was tasteless I think I'll stick to buying loin cod fresh and freezing if necessary

Is it really only Tuesday, this is a long week...
Made a lovely frittata with the leftover butternut squash and feta for lunch. Dinner was a sort of chow mein with the leftover Chinese pork belly from the other night.
Can you tell I hate food waste 😜

JKS when you're cooking for one there are always left overs 🙂 it's good if they can repurposed

Exactly! There's even a Netflix prog about using up leftovers,  but they're not as good as us !! 😘🤣🤣

What an awful morning out side, very wet & very windy, hope it clears a bit before I have to go out for my CV jab this afternoon

Food today will be CBA lacking ooomph, plus excuse of CV jab late afternoon right at dinner time & I don't fancy starting cooking dinner lae

Lunch, probably slice of toast + something spread on it, maybe jam?

Dinner, due to jab it'll be frozen pizza. I do pass the chip shop on my return from jab but no idea on routine these lock-down days so I'll give it a miss

Good morning everyone, 
Yes revolving LOs the mainstay of CFO life! 
Hope your jab goes smoothly Farway.
Dry but grey and cold here this morning with more manky weather due this afternoon.
A hoovering day for me and proper furniture moving job as it's only had a quick run through for a few weeks and I know there are pine needles lurking in hidden corners! The living room and hall have been done so time for a much needed cuppa before tackling rest. After lunch I'll mop through before putting my feet up for a bit.
HM soup again for lunch and salmon with asparagus, peas and baked spuds for dinner. My son popped to the SM for milk yesterday evening and spotted a pack of asparagus YS to 10p and thought it go well with the fish.
