Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Wednesday2000

It feels very warm already in my garden. I am about to wash my hair and have a shower. I still haven't watched any of the Olympics.

I will probably have the two leftover rolls for breakfast. I don't feel that hungry as I had a PB sandwich just before bed last night.

Another hot day due, very welcome though after all the rain & gloom of the past few months

I picked a bowl of small tomatoes this morning, I have been picking and eating individual ones when watering for a week or so.  

Oooh, way ahead of me, my first one only ripened this weekend, it's outdoors mind.

Blackberries are ripe for a few to munch as I mooch about

Lunch, LO cold pasta, but I may give it a quick blast in MW to take the chill off

Dinner, more salad, with tinned tuna & mayo mix

Good morning everyone, 

I have tomato envy, mine are many weeks away from ripening!

Very overcast here but it's supposed to stay dry.  :crossed 

Frank was so excited to see DS1 and DIL2B! We have Ari later but only for the one night.

Not sure what I'll get up to today, the greenhouse  plants are needing a bit of trimming and tying so might make a start on that.
LO lamb and hummus in a wrap with salad for lunch. DS2 is cooking tonight - Butter Chicken with rice and naan.

I've been watching some of the Olympics, as usual @ndy murray had us on the edge of our seats last night and I've just watched the team take gold in eventing...Go GB
 
I'm having hummus for lunch too with some crispbread and grapes.
 
Tonight I need to use a courgette that's beginning to look a bit sad so to make it a completely meat-free Monday thought I would try this recipe Feta and harissa fritters - delicious. magazine (deliciousmagazine.co.uk) .

I think Andy does it on purpose, N2BT 😂

Another lovely warm, sunny day here but it hasn’t felt uncomfortable - the office was fine and the house had stayed cool with all the windows, blinds and curtains closed.

Sort of tuna Niçoise salad for lunch with added cold new potatoes. Made prawn, chorizo and sourdough skewers on the BBQ tonight, served with a salad and sherry vinegar dressing 😋

Most of mine are cherry or baby plum just out of habit from when I grew outdoors, I. Not sure I'll get as many as last year but picked another dozen tonight, not all made it indoors 😋 greenhouse warm tomatoes the taste and smell of summer I used to steal tomatoes and peas as a child 😁 not good at hiding the evidence I would eat the peas and drop the pods behind me

another warm day and I fear a sticky night, they say it will reach 30 tomorrow 

bacon and fried egg toasted sandwich for lunch with some tomatoes on the side.  I needed to cook a couple of chicken thighs tonight but wasn't that hungry so just a chicken thigh with some salad for dinner, LO chicken for another day

I'm going to keep the curtains closed on the south facing side of the house today. I have to go for my cholesterol checkup test today around midday so it will probably be very hot. I can't remember if I am supposed to fast before this test, the form says non-fasting, but I thought cholesterol was fasting so I am only having water.

I was watching the cycling yesterday, but I missed the ending typically which apparently was very exciting! I know I am having pizza tonight as the local restaurant is celebrating being 4 years old so it is BOGOF.

Wouldn't surprise me, it's baking outside already. I had an early start watering & then onto Morries, hoping to spot lunch & dinner.

No lunch on offer around, but some nice on offer thick bone in pork chops, and YS MFO fish pie, so settle for that

Lunch, a bit stuck now, I have a small helping of LO tuna / mayo, so that on toast

Dinner, has to be YS fish pie, maybe with frozen mixed veg

I don't envy you those temperatures down south, we are a comfortable 19-20c with a gentle sea breeze so I'm happy.
 
I'm almost at the end of my "need to use" veg , I've made a rocket pesto which I'll have with some chicken and pasta for lunch. The last sweet potato has been baked and I'll make that into falafel, there's some leftover hummus, a pitta in the freezer and I'll do a tomato, red onion and radish salad.

Good afternoon everyone,
Another sunny one here though not too hot which suits me. Abandoned the idea of tidying the greenhouse yesterday it was just too warm in there, I'll see what it's like later. Do need to tackle some ironing though and sort out my monthly finances.
Fridge bits for lunch and fishfinger sandwiches with salad for dinner.
