Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Farway

Hammered down for ages last night, and thunder to go with it. Still grey & damp out, but I've put the tomato plants out to continue hardening off.

Apart from that, and put the rubbish into the wheelie for tomorrow, I can just potter about

Phone call from surgery, arranged for next Covid jab, on Saturday week. Just before Noon, which is awkward because the Chippy is just over the road from Drs'.

First time for ages, some Waitrose vouchers in e-mail, use by next week so of no use, but it's a start, they had dried up, I wonder if Wairtose are going to try vouchers again?

Lunch today, last of the F Fingers, more on order for next delivery

Dinner, it's use up day. Manky mushrooms in omelette, with baked spud & LO beans. I may bung some frozen bangers into the same oven with the spud, to give me an extra option if I need one.

Good morning everyone,
Sunny and pleasant here, Hector and Ari are sunbathing on the deck.
I need to sort out my Tesco order, the family are coming on Sunday to celebrate DIL2B's birthday, Greek Easter and the Bank holiday. I'm doing tapas so need to be organised so I can take my time over the prep. My days of cooking all day from first thing until folk arrive are well over but I'm fine if I can pace it over a couple of days.
LOs for lunch and something from the freezer for dinner as DS2 is heading to Glasgow this evening.

I have my spring booster next week too Farway, after experiencing the real thing in March my antibodies should be well topped up.
 
Sounds like a very busy weekend for you Caronc, hope they all help out with the clearing up.
 
Beautiful sunny day today after the misery of yesterday went for a good long walk, nice and warm in the sun but still a chill in the wind coming off the sea. Stopped in by the Bank to pay a bill then home for a prawn salad and crusty roll for lunch.
 
Easy tea tonight just heating up a sausage roll, some boiled new potatoes and baked beans.

Tuna and new potato salad in a lunchbox today. Did Mediterranean lentils, spinach and sun dried tomatoes with griddled halloumi tonight 😋

Made stock from the chicken carcass last night so that has been portioned up and frozen. Tomorrow’s lunch also packed as I’m back in the office. Just some washing up to do in a bit.

Hammering down here during the night I woke up at 2.30am the thunder was only a low rumble but the lightning was quite impressive 

I went to a on screen showing of MacBeth tonight with a friend, it was very good I read it at school when I was 13 or 14 and 8 vaguely remember going to see it then.

I found a couple of crumpets in the freezer for lunch.  I had to go out early tonight so shepherds pie from thefreezer with peas and cabbage for dinner

I made overnight oats again and was going to have them with some fresh raspberries this time, but I felt like something savoury so I had sourdough with Flora and Marmite. I will have the oats for lunch.

The filling went okay yesterday. I didn't even feel the injection! I was looking at the time on my Fitbit when she started and it only took her 7 minutes to do the new filling.

Dry at last, even had a glimpse of sun. If it keeps up, I'll have a potter in the garden this afternoon.

Need to finalise my Asda order for next week delivery, trying again for lamb leg on offer, last time I ordered they subbed it for chops , which I returned. I'll tick the no subs box this time.

Lunch, scrambled eggs and LO cold sausages

Dinner, I found a OOD BBE 9/2023 Fray Bentos S & K pie, so that plus pot of mash and posh frozen mixed veg.

Replacement FB pie added to Asda list On offer at the moment

Good morning everyone, 
Glad the dentist trip went well Wednesday,
Yes NB2T it will be all hands on deck for the final finish and clear up. 
After a lovely warm and sunny day yesterday it back to overcast with showers. 
Tesco due later with a huge order, a combination of start of the month stock up on various household items and the ingredients for Sunday. Only one item which I need OOS but DS2 will pick it up in the local Morrisons.
Last night I defrosted a small portion of meatball and chickpea stew from the freezer. Not enough for a meal so I added some fridge gravel veg and macaroni pasta. Very tasty it was too, though of course I now have LOs  . Never mind that's lunch covered! Usual Friday tbc for dinner.

Lovely sunny morning again but clouding over a bit now, still a chilly wind ruining it.

Out for a walk early and stopped at the fish shop on the way; she opens the shop at 8.30am and most of the stock gone by 10.00am so you have to get there sharpish , I also got some good old fashioned ruskoline I haven't had "orange fish" for years I normally whizz up some bread and make my own crumbs but no bread in the house today.
 
Stopped at the butcher to get some cold meat for my salad lunch and thought I would try his meatloaf for a change, it looks a bit like haslet but not so fatty.
 
Fish & chips for tea with some tartare sauce, cauliflower and the last of the tenderstem broccoli.

An extra office day for me so it has felt like a very long week, mostly productive though 🙃

Tuna salad in my lunchbox again today but with a random cheese topped roll I found in the freezer. Still got lettuce in the fridge…

Made sausage and fennel seed pasta tonight, with the end of the green beans and sweetcorn.

Weather looking a bit mixed for the long weekend 🤔
