Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Brambling

It's rained most of the day here so tackled some housework before catching up on some TV and reading.  Managed to drop a jar of roasted peppers on the clean kitchen floor tonight, why is it always something in oil I manage to drop 🤬 at least they were Lidls so not as expensive as they could have been. I don't buy them very often I tend to make my own but had a recipe I wanted to make 🙄 damn butter fingers as my dad would say 

Egg and crab stick sandwich for lunch with a spinach salad.  Amended dinner plans, sweet n sour chicken with noodles for dinner, there are LOs of course

Sorry MIA folks, my knee has laid me up so getting around and sitting using PC  is near impossible

No cooking as standing is painful, just picking at bits, luckily I have plenty of things in to pick at. I intend putting a fresh chicken in to slow cooker later, so i can pick away at that for a few easy meals.

Oh dear Farway that's not so good, necessity is the mother of invention, so whatever it takes to get some food in you is the best way to go.
 
I'd forgotten to add the other portion of Cullen skink to my freezer inventory and found it whilst reorganising and decided I fancied that for lunch.
 
Also found small bags with some kidney beans, black beans and chickpeas so have decided to use them tonight and make a mixed bean chilli, pitta chips, shredded cabbage and tomato salsa

Sorry your leg is hurting Farway.

It is still quite mild here. I don't have any plans for this weekend. I have had leftover fries for breakfast as I feel asleep before I could eat them last night! I had almost 10 hours sleep, I'm not sure why I was so tired.

Good afternoon everyone, 
Hope the knee eases soon Farway. 
Dry and blowy here today, though it's supposed to rain later. I had three builder's bags of logs delivered yesterday, DS2 is busy stacking the log store. Hector is less than impressed at not being allowed to help!
Fridge bits for lunch and chicken fajitas for dinner.

Take care of that knee, Farway. Picky bits and chicken sound good.

Well, the promised sunny intervals didn’t appear until the sun was nearly setting here 🙄

Just a laundry and grocery shopping day here plus watching strictly this evening.

Ricotta and pesto tortellini with tuna, sweetcorn and sun dried tomatoes for lunch. Scampi tacos tonight with salad and guacamole.

Brambling

Our weather sounds pretty much like yours JKS ☔️

Hope the knee is feeling a little better Farway, take it easy 

I went to the farm shop today but no turkey legs, it can be hit and miss as they usually only have a couple which go quickly.  I did pick up some of their sausages and lamb mince which is usually very lean, I find SM lamb mince far too fatty for my tastes.  Home via one of the local charity garden centres (they train troubled' teenagers) they have just opened a charity shop and I wanted to see if I could drop something off, I was led astray by some books including a big HFW cookery book for a £1. I resisted temptation as they make metal garden furniture, made by trainee blacksmiths and they had a lovely small garden seat. I also resisted the cakes you have to cut through the cafe to get to the CS 😁

Sausage sandwich for lunch.  LO sweet n sour chicken with noodles for dinner

I completely forgot about the clocks going back as usual. I will change them now. I am going to go for a walk as I have hardly done any steps this week and have baked beans on toast when I get home.

Good morning everyone, 
I didn't have a great sleep took me ages to get over so I was glad of the extra hour.
Gloomy with rain due this afternoon, the rain obliging held off yesterday until a few minutes after DS2 had finished stacking the logs. He did get soaked though walking Hector in the evening.
More admin and some domestic chores on the "to do" today.
LOs for lunch and tonight, at DS2's request, instead of our usual roast we are having cottage pie. I cooked the filling yesterday so just mash for the topping and side veg to sort out later.

Had a long night's sleep now my knee is easing, just as well the clocks went back so I don't feel too guilty with extra hours in bed

Crisp & blue sky sunny, ideal for walkers, which excludes me.

Sort of back to normality with food now I can limp about a bit easier. The SC chicken turned out as I hoped, and I picked and nibbled away at the legs yesterday.

Lunch is use up last of the mince in a HM burger

Dinner, some SC cold chicken, with use up salad, very sorry lettuce, which may yet be binned, and frozen AF chips
