Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Good morning everyone
My condolences for your loss threepenny_bit <<hugs>>
Still cold and wet here today but it is supposed to dry up later and be an okay weekend.
All being well my son & DIL-to-be should get the keys today for the flat they are buying. I'm not sure when I'll get to properly see it but looking forward to the video tour later.
Tesco are due soon and once that's stashed I'll see what else I cba doing. Ham sarnie for lunch and dinner is tbc, probably breaded haddock from the freezer.

Sorry for your loss, threepenny_bit, hugs to you too.

Fresh sourdough loaf and posh cheese (comte) arrived with yesterday’s delivery so bread and cheese for lunch, side of mini plum tomatoes towards my 5 a day. Stilton beef burger, sweet potato fries, coleslaw and salad tonight - not so much cooking as warming things up and arranging things on a plate 😂

Managed a 25 minute walk before it got dark and then finished my working day when I got back...been a long week! Weather warning for rain/snow over the weekend, perfect timing 🙄

So sorry about your Dad THREEPENNY xx

Sorry to hear about your dad threepenny 

Blue skies here today so I used the opportunity to stretch my legs lunchtime and go for milk, I prefer not to buy it online so I can ensure I get a long use by date and it gave me time to cool of before letting off steam with a senior manager 😡

LOs coconut and peanut chicken with noodles for lunch. Dinner was fried sea bass fillets with new potatoes and veg.  Quick catch-up with my sister with a cuppa when she came to pick up her shopping

Sunny start this morning but braced for oncoming yuck from the East

Whatever was up with my tum seems to have vanished now, my appetite is back and I'm starting to think of food that is not toast or sarnie

I will have to get an online shop soon even though I've enough in freezers to last for a while it's things like fresh veg that are missing

Lunch, us up LO corned beef + pickle sarnie

Dinner, thinking of HM AF chips, frozen breaded cod fillet + nuked frozen peas

Good morning everyone,
My elder son and DIL-to-be got the keys yesterday as planned and are now on the property owning ladder. 
Dry but grey and bitterly cold here today, it does look as though we will miss the snow thankfully. If it stays dry we are going to head to the beach for a short walk along the prom and some much needed fresh air. If the kiosk is open we might get a portion of their very good chips for lunch. Buffalo chicken wings, corn cobbettes, sweet potatoes and salad for dinner.

Congrats to caronc DS and DIL to be 🤗

Well, today’s excitement was cleaning the hob and tiles behind. Tbh, they’ve both needed doing for a while but last night’s griddle panned burger sealed the deal...also managed a walk in the weak sunshine.

Jacket spud with cheese and coleslaw for lunch, and I’m making harissa chicken and roasted peppers with chickpea and pomegranate couscous tonight 😋

Good news for your son Caronc  are they able to move in or does it need work ?

Farway I could live off my stores for awhile  but it is the fresh stuff I would miss and I eat a lot of F&V and salad bits and I really don't like about long life milk 

I made the most of the nice weather this morning and spent a couple of hours in the garden, my soil is clay and very heavy but I wanted amongst other things to weed one front border.  Next door have dug a border next to it (made from their lawn) and mine was look weedy against their empty bed there is no fence. I had clumps of their grass growing from where they never edged their lawn so that will benefit in the long run. I was having to use the hand fork to try and avoid the bulbs.  I planted a mix of cream and orange crocus bulbs  last year thinking they would look nice under my acer tree, typically the cream are all up and flowering but not a sign of the orange ones 🙄 

it started raining after lunch so other than a trip to Lidle for bananas and OJ missing from the online shop and maybe a couple of unplanned bits 🤫 like on offer dishwasher tablets and some naughties I stayed in. I timed it well going just after lunch, there was space in their small car park and no queues, there was over a dozen people queuing in the rain when I came out.  

Lunch were the last two farm shop pork and leek sausages from the freezer 😋 with fried onions in a wrap. Dinner was a quick beef and veg stir fry with a chilli, ginger and garlic sauce and noodles 

Farway

Looks cold, windy & dull out so not venturing there, all indoor gardening today

I've just ordered more some apple trees on dwarfing stock so should be able to squeeze them in I reckon

I have another ciabatta in the Panny, and should 4sda not run out there's more bread flour due [on offer] once I click the button but waiting for F & V to get back in stock before I click

Lunch, stale bread use up as toast, maybe grill some cheese on top?

Dinner, some bog standard bangers out defrosting, having just read Brambling post including fried onions  could be basis there?

Have to see how I feel come the time, could just be a sausage sarnie or maybe full on with eggs & chips etc

Wishing I had made a stew TBH, and none frozen to nuke

I did briefly consider making some soup but CBA now, and I'm a eking the milk out until i get to the shops, not keen on UHT in tea or cereal but find OK for porridge nuking

Can't pop to shops before Wednesday because I have a package due by Tuesday, and we all know what will happen if I blink

Good afternoon everyone, 
Brambling - Their flat has been fully renovated (though they want to change the kitchen as it's not a "cooks" space IFYSWIM) so they have moved straight in. 
Very cold here today, much colder than yesterday and it was pretty chilly. I had my walk along part of the pram but no chips as there was a long queue. Lunch was a naughty but nice grill up instead when we got home. 
My central heating timer is playing up, like the boiler it's old but I'd been hoping both would keep going until I intend to replace them in the Spring. I switched off the electric supply for a while and that seems to have done the trick but it doesn't bode well!
LO chicken wings for lunch and roast pork dinner later. Apparently it's National Yorkshire Pudding day so I suspect I may be asked to make some to go with it.
