Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Wednesday2000

It is very hot. I took a slow walk to the blood test centre and back. I felt very hungry when I got home so I had some toast and Marmite with a slice of plant based cheese. I'm having pizza tonight as well so a lot of bread and cheese today!

I'm using the hand held Spanish type fan, but I might go and bring down the electric one. There are meant to be storms tomorrow.

Another hot day but I’ve managed to keep the house comfortable. Work day was manic to start with but I did then get all of the essential tasks done by the end of the day as the afternoon was a bit calmer, few quick things carried over to tomorrow.

In an unusual occurrence of bad planning, I realised I didn’t buy the filled pasta that was today’s lunch when I did the food shop. So, made croutons from the end of the sourdough from yesterday and had a tuna salad with them 😋

Cooked a piece of salmon on the bbq tonight and had with salad, new potatoes and coleslaw. Going to have a night off salad tomorrow 😅

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'll swap you the heat for your 20c as I don't do heat very well but on the flip side I'll keep the SE winters over the Scottish ones 😁

I didn't go out other than watering before dark, just did some tidying / sorting before finishing my book this afternoon 

Easylunchof sardines on toast.  I cooked a thin pork chop for dinner and had with salad and new potatoes

It was really hot last night. I had a shower about 8 to cool down. The pizza was lush last night. There are thunderstorm warnings but it looks very mild here at the moment.

Hot & sunny, but a welcome breeze, also thunderstorm warning but who knows? The weather radar shows some off the French coast, so I suppose they could track North.

Asda delivery arrived, a tad early, but not a problem. I've noticed it is early quite often, maybe I'm first on the delivery? Just one sub, diet pop, so not concerns about that.

Fridge is full, with plenty of long-dated stuff, so no urgency and use up PDQ.

Lunch, too much choice, some nice tempting mini pork pies in the delivery, but I think I'll stick to my original idea of a fried egg sarnie.

Dinner, grill one of Morries thick pork chops, with nuked LO HM mash & frozen mixed veg.

Went to Mor for meds yesterday but they were not ready so had a wander to see reductions they had. They had sliced tongue and as I love a sandwich but usually too expensive, I bought 2 packs. Had tongue and chips last night, separated slices and put in freezer (again) so looked for ideas for other pack and found a curry with sliced chopped tongue so am looking forward to that. Will have plenty for salad and maybe roll up tortilla with pickles.  So pleased.

Good morning everyone, 
I love sliced tongue with mash, baked beans and beetroot.

Sunny again today with a nice temperature in the late teens, my kind of weather. It's the last fully dry day forecast for a bit so I'm on a mission to empty the laundry basket - where does it all come from?
Fridge bits for lunch. DS2 is off out tonight so CFO, will see what I fancy for dinner later,

I don't do well in high temperatures either Brambling at least in winter I can layer up and remove one when I get too warm  Its somewhat cooler here today which means I can get on with some housework without sweating buckets.
 
Leftover salads and a cheese scone for lunch.
Pan fried turkey steak, spicy couscous, broad beans and ss peas for tonight.

Out of beetroot - pickled, and seldom buy fresh but do like it. Did not fancy mash but may have later. Been binge watching The Empress Ki,  I know its a bit naff but the costumes are lovely and as there is only me and living on 2nd floor so no garden    why not?

I don't often buy beetroot, but it is quite nice pickled.

It has felt very muggy since about 12. I had toast with Flora and Marmite for breakfast and a Quorn steak bake with tenderstem broccoli for lunch.
