Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Morning All, lovely sunny day here, there is a fresh breeze coming off the sea so got a load of washing out before I went for a good walk.

Salami and strawberry salad for lunch. Found a portion of chicken pie mix in the freezer which I'll do with a sweet potato topping and tenderstem broccoli on the side.

I had my GP appointment and dropped off a donation bag to a charity shop. It was very lightly drizzling, but I didn't need to put up my umbrella.

I had a toastie when I got in and I'm about to make a strawberry and soya milk smoothie with Crusha syrup!

Good afternoon everyone,
Grey and drizzling here.
Tesco order has been finalised. I've no real plans for today apart from a bit of herb potting though if I CBA I might make a start of decluttering the linen cupboard or do some ironing.
LO pasta for lunch. Yoghurt chicken curry with rice and naan for dinner.

More meetings today but really enjoyed them. Also had some good catch ups and did a few small tasks in between times.

Roasted pepper and mozzarella salad for lunch. Sausage and spinach gnocchi tonight 😋

Not sure what I think about salami and strawberries 🤔 is it good?

My front door latch fell out tonight, when I screwed it back in I found I couldn't lock the door so obviously something not right, luckily I can lock it if I remove the latch so no need for emergency out of hours repairers.  Hopefully I can find someone local to do it tomorrow otherwise it's the weekend 🙄 Must be punishment for me being short to the guy who phoned today about window scrappage scheme!

More of the gammon for lunch in a sandwich with piccalilli, just a little bit left for £6 it went a long way 😋 Chicken shawarma and rice for dinner, cooked in one pan on the hob, I over chillied so it's spicy but one I'll do again just not add the chilli flakes twice!

Sunny & dry for the time being, rain tonight it seems.

Hope to get some pottering done first, planting up some Cosmos & tomatoes.

Don't mention chilli, I bought a small truckle of Apricot, lime & chilli cheese in Morries yesterday, you know the sort, covered in wax?

Gawd it's burning stuff , I thought with the lime it would be just nicely “warm”. Mind you, I'm not used to hot chilli or curried foods.

I need to finalise my Asda shop. Typical, just as I discover the cheapo Essentials yoghurt is fine it gets discontinued, along with the Essentials Weetabix copy and baked beans

Lunch, still with grilled cheese on toast

Dinner, defrosted flan + salad bits

Wednesday2000

I just had some strawberries and water as I am going out for lunch soon. I am eating tonight at Wetherspoons too so it probably won't be a healthy day!

It looks nice and sunny out. I'm wearing a denim skirt with sandals and I helpfully bumped my knee last night so I have a big bruise.

Good morning everyone,
Cloudy but dry here and quite warm.
Tesco due later and I need to tackle some ironing, no point in looking out and washing summer stuff (mainly linen) if I can't wear it.
We're hosting a family bbq on Sunday, after DS1 dropped a less than subtle hint lol, so we'll need to get the garden furniture and bbq looked out and scrubbed. 
LO curry for lunch and usual Friday tbc for dinner.

I enjoyed it and had it again today  - good handful of rocket, sliced strawberries, chiffonade of basil, generous sprinkling of black pepper, drizzle of balsamic and a side order of salami & crusty bread. I ended using strawberries because the SM melons and nectarines were rock hard and didn't smell or feel anywhere near being ripe.
 
Tea tonight its hm quiche, new potatoes and last of the ts broccoli.

Might have to try a variation, I love peach or nectarine with goats cheese or mozzarella and Parma ham…

Fairly productive wfh day plus got a load of washing dried on the line 😉

Posh fishfinger sandwich with salad leaves and gherkins for lunch. Made a cod and butter bean stew tonight with chopped tomatoes, smoked paprika and sherry vinegar 😋
