Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Farway

Glad you're on the  mend Caron

Sounds like Chichester was a lucky miss Brambling, One foolish year I managed to wangle free tickets to eh Festival of Speed and spent a couple of hours on the A27 queuing jut to get in, since then I avoid the area when it’s on

The spuds I have that don’t chip well are also rubbish for mash, actually not rubbish, too good; they’re the sort that fall to bits once they get near hot water. Not many left in the bag now but I wonder just what they are good for? Maybe just for selling he says cynically

Today’s meal, lunch could be chicken carcass picking bits sarnie, if not enough bits for a sarnie plan B is cheese & pickle sarnie

Dinner, one of the Parsley Box meals I bought on offer, sweet & sour chicken I think because it’s use by is August, I could bung any unused chicken carcass pickings in there as well. There is also a P Box nuke pouch of rice to go with the S & S chicke

Good morning everyone,
Rain here today though supposed to clear later.
Just one more dose of the antibiotic to go, while I'm feeling better than I was it's far from away so I think another chat with the Dr might be needed once I've completed the course.
Still really lacking in energy so another quiet day on the cards.
LO roast beef with salad for lunch and tonight DS1 is making red lentil dal.

Checking in early today, dinner done nice and early and settled in for the Murray rollercoaster 🎾

Nice office day today, couple of good staff catch ups plus got a few bits done too, as well as the usual email battle.

Lunch was yet more of the beetroot with chickpeas and feta in a couscous salad. Tonight was prawn and sugar snap pea Thai green curry with noodles.

Hoping to see the back of the beetroot tomorrow 😂

Brambling

Usual Monday, catching up on weekend emails and a couple of short Team calls.  As we go into holiday the work is being passed along to us, even though it shouldn't 🙄 

Looks like cable guys are back to digging up road again, not sure why as they were only here Easter, they have been digging up the town for about a year in a very unlogical way  

lunch was the last couple of bagel thins in the freezer, with marmite.  I wasn't very hungry dinner time so had a couple of slices of cold beef and horseradish standing in the kitchen thinking what to have and a sad overripe banana

At least it’s sunny if a tad cooler, looks wet though to the West though but we’re going to be spared I think.

Just in case I’m going to toddle down the garden & pick the gooseberries before the birds or squirrels take a fancy to them. I found two half chewed strawberries on the path this morning, squirrels I guess, good job I’d picked the four ripe ones yesterday

Today is defrosted banger day, I found a shed load of part used, opened and then frozen bangers in the freezer, where I’d used say four out of a pack and frozen the last two, bit like missing climbers turning up in glaciers decades later

Lunch is defrosted AF bangers in a sarnie

Dinner, ditto bangers, with nuked LO mash and maybe use up manky mushrooms in omelette. Perhaps a fresh tomato for healthy input?

Good morning everyone,
Tipping it down here - Hector is not impressed! It's a big day for him (and DS2) as he can go for a walk for the first time.   
I have finished the antibiotics so fingers crossed they've done their stuff, I'll know in a few days. Definitely felt a tad less congested this morning. Just need to find my oomph now and get rid of the cough.
Yesterday evening DS2 helped, well to be honest mainly did, pot the cucumbers and  remaining tomatoes into their final pots. They should have been done a couple of weeks ago but between pooches and lurgy I was struggling to get to them. There are a couple of cucumbers that will big enough for picking in a week or so barring mishaps.
Need to catch up on quite a bit of voluntary so that will keep me out of mischief this afternoon. When DS2 finishes work we are going to sort out the kitchen island which is covered in puppy kit. When did pooches start having so much stuff? 
Last of the roast sirloin in a wrap with salad for lunch. I've chicken thighs defrosting for tonight, haven't quite decided what to do with them but there's plenty of veg and tatties.

Right, getting a bit late for me, got sucked into tennis once Sherwood had finished.

Wfh today, started well, got a bit silly mid-afternoon but still managed a nearly on time finish. Feels like a long week already…

Finally finished the beetroot at lunchtime, mixed with some smoked mackerel, horseradish and mayo. Had with salad and some LO cold new potatoes. Quick beans with toast for early tea before swimming tonight.

I also watched Sherwood, I did record last night and had to find it on catch up as it recorded the tennis instead. It was one I enjoyed the BBC makes some great dramas and I'm old enough to remember the miner strikes 

Work today was very much like yesterday and probably tomorrow 🙂 

lunch was fishfinger ciabatta roll, they were sub fishfingers and not ones I would bother to buy again.

Dinner a cba LO roast beef with AF chips and sweetcorn.  The beef joint seems to be the gift which keeps on giving, it was on a very good offer after Easter so bigger than I usually buy but not big enough to cut in half

Good morning everyone,
Sherwood has been added to my watch list, we've been watching The Secret on Netflix https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/81587317 and would recommend it.
Hector had his first walks yesterday which he enjoyed though was a bit scared of the traffic and terrified of a small pile of moving leaves. He was very excited when he came home and tore about like a dervish!
Feel as though I have bit more oomph today so hoping to get some domestics bit done but with plenty of rests and cuppas.
LOs for lunch and pasta with chorizo, green beans, pesto and tomato sauce for dinner.

I’m another one amazed at what dogs seem to need these days, back in the day they had scraps and butchers bones and slept outside in a kennel, sounding really old now!! Envious about the cucumbers, mine are doing nothing

Bit dull and damp but no rain to speak of. I picked all my gooseberries yesterday before the squirrels discovered them. This morning I’ve made a crumble with them, so lunch is sorted.

Down the hospital this afternoon, ECG etc. & see the consultant for review, bit overdue because he caught Covid prior to my last appointment. Dinner is going to be something from freezer, a MFO stabbed & pinged, there’s a M & S creamy veg curry in there somewhere which I quite fancy so could be that, followed by goosegog crumble & tinned custard
