Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Farway

Dull & mild start, but sun may arrive later, allegedly

Had company for last night's dinner, a cheeky fox sat on my wall & was peering in at me through the conservatory window , as bold as brass. Could be worse, could've been Ratty & mates returned

Food today, if the fox approves

Lunch, maybe eggs on toast, and like JKS, I'll give the cheese a day off

Dinner, sirloin steak, HM AF chips & salad

Hoping to go into the recently opened Food Warehouse, it's next to Home Bargains where I am going for garden bits, so time permitting I'll go in to look at the steaks, according to reviews very hit & miss, so I'll have to look before buying in store, can't trust online

May even be YS items, but never having been in there I don't know yet

Good morning everyone,
How wonderful for your GD Farway 
Physio was brutal yesterday and I'm "broken" today, but for the first time in over month I can put my right foot flat on the floor without searing pains shooting down my legs so progress I think. I've to resume my stretching exercises tomorrow when hopefully I'll feel less bruised and battered.
Need to chase up my repeat prescription - if it has gone to the wrong chemist again I will be raising it with the surgery!
LO curry for lunch and bangers and mash for dinner. The mash is from the freezer LO from New Year so an easy one.

I've been feeling ill the past few days, I lost my voice yesterday and I had a fever and was shivering this afternoon. I took ibuprofen and crashed out for two hours and felt much better when I woke up. My husband got a call from the guy painting our house that he has tested positive for Covid so I assume I caught it from him at the weekend.

The trip to the cinema was off for today for obvious reasons. I hadn't really eaten much so I had some oven chips in a pitta bread and am now back in bed with a book, a hot water bottle and a hot toddy.

Another beautiful day here so two loads of washing mostly line dried 🙃

LO jambalaya for lunch. Been swimming tonight so early tea of beans with toast. Just had crumpet and jam with a cuppa (probably undone all the good work swimming 😂)

I hope you don't feel too ill Wednesday 🤧😷

it will be soon fox mating time Farway maybe he's looking for lady friend to keep you awake at night screaming 

Today was very much like yesterday  I did pop out lunchtime to pick up something for elderly friend and deliver it before getting back for a 2pm call therefore lunch was some LO vegetable slaw with smoked mackerel.  Dinner was LO cottage pie, corn on the cob and kale

Thanks!

I feel okay today and am up and dressed. I still have a cough, but it was quite mild again for me.

I'm just having a hot chocolate before my green smoothie.

I am going to make a big batch of soup today with all the veggies, garlic and onion left in my fridge. I'm going to add a tin of white beans and olive oil too.

Good morning everyone,
Glad you are feeling better today Wednesday.
Calmer this morning after another wet and wild afternoon/evening. It must have blown itself out overnight.
Feeling less battered today though I'm very bruised, it's seems strange that I'm paying someone to leave me feeling as though I've been beaten up but I have every faith in the physio and it does seem to be helping. As he said if I want pampered book a spa day, if I want fixed it's going to hurt! Hoping to get a bit more done today but I'm under strict instructions that the minute there's any sharp pain to stop - I think that's where I've been going wrong and ignoring signals is what caused the issue in the first place so will try and heed what seems like good advice.
Made a sausage casserole yesterday with loads of veg and baked beans. It was blooming lovely and there's LOs for lunch.  Chicken, rice and pea traybake for dinner.

How long does he think it will take?

I had a course of reflexology a few years ago at a Chinese centre and I was shocked at how much it hurt sometimes!

I've another session in a fortnight and then we are hoping to move it to 3 weekly for a few sessions. Going forward I'm probably looking at a monthly session to try and stop it getting so bad again. It's well worth the money IMHO and I spend hardly anything on any other sort "me" stuff.

Day started well, sunny & mild but looking like it's going to the dogs now & clouding over

Managed to get to Home Bargains this morning, at last garden compost is in a so couple of bags of that, and YS sausages + some odds & ends

Then into Food Warehouse [AKA Iceland], huge, but I was the only customer, can't see it lasting long if that's typical

YS Sausage rolls & a couple of YS pasties, just over two quid spent, I doubt that even paid for the lighting

Lunch decided on AF YS banger sarnie, but the bangers are not very nice, not my usual, very hard skins and too peppery with "odd" not bad smell. Had a taste then opted for cheese & onion sarnie instead

Bangers in the bin, but froze the uncooked ones

Dinner, was intending YS pasty, HM AF chips & cheapo beans, but feeling full so maybe just a pasty?
