Cooking for one (Mark Three)

wort

I have been invited into Manchester by my dd1, who lives the other side, so I shall be getting the train. It's wet and miserable, and having checked the trains there's a replacement bus running on the one going through Bolton, so I'll need the other station. I'm glad I checked I don't like buses and it would take an hour longer to get there.
Dd1 is buying me a meal and we're having a cocktail as it's mothers day, so I've only had my toast for breakfast, and a pear just now to take the edge off until we eat.
Caronc that sounds a delicious menu, I'm sure they'll enjoy it.

Thanks wort - enjoy your time with your DD, I'm sure with food & a cocktail (or 2) inside you you'll forget about the miserable weather. It's cold & wet here too, unlike the day my son was born when it was a lovely Spring day:)

Food prep for tonight is now as far as I can take it until later. Just the bombsite of the kitchen to tackle and clean the bathroom. Though I think a cuppa and my feet up for a bit are beckoning first:)

Looks like I missed out on some drama on here!:eek:

My bluddy toilet is broken so I had to go out to the nearest shopping centre to go to the loo this morning!:mad: The plumber is supposed to be here between 1-5 pm.

All I have had is a bottle of orange juice when I was out and I probably won't drink or eat anything until he fixes it.

Sooo annoying. *Sigh*

No drama missed Wednesday just unneeded nastiness:mad:

I know, I think if I get desperate I might have to pop to my mother-in-law's house! :rotfl:

Always good to have a Plan B;)

Breakfast was a tuna panini from Costa, and just had a yoghurt and hot cross bun for a late-ish lunch. The HCB's were free, as I got given them as a leftover from an over-order earlier in the week from my workplace. They are never something I usually buy, as I don't love them - but a freebie made a pleasant change. And toasted, with lots of butter, makes them very tolerable.

Tonight I shall be off out for my tea to TGI Fridays with the bestie. It's the first time in a while I've been able to catch up with her sans her 1-year-old twins, so I'm looking forward to that! I adore her children, as I'm unlikely to ever have my own, but child-free time is still lovely.

I had got a large chicken breast out of the freezer last night to defrost in the fridge, thinking I'd have it for tea tonight (forgetting I was going out), but it'll keep well enough until tomorrow.

It was Hardly nasty. Clumsy humour at worst.

No, it was plain nasty.

Sun peeping out, GW watched, now sorting out my tomato seeds for sowing, probably tomorrow if it dries up a bit [The bag of compost is in the garage]

Lunch was cheese etc.

Splashed some L & P sauce into the SC stew, couldn't resist a stir

My parcel was undamaged, contents now on charge. Battery booster just in case car plays up again

Due to rain more family history searching. Now here's a site you may want to explore on a wet day. Old 1850 on maps, searchable by county / district, plus you can have modern map side by side, find your house, put X on it, read across & see what was there before. Explains why the bottom of our road floods, the village pump was there
