Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Farway

Sunny, blue sky with a chilly breeze if not in sun.

Seeing your Nymans Brambling, making me think about Wisley, just the agro with the M25 / A3 junction roadworks that keeps putting it off. Not just me it seems, they reportedly have lost millions in entrance fees.

Out early, mainly for Home Bargains compost, but into Marks for YS mooch, which turned out well, salmon en croute [dinner tonight], plus some nice non YS, thick pork chops and a cauliflower

Lunch, use up LO tinned pilchard

Dinner, YS salmon EC, plus HM cauliflower cheese

Spring-like here too, cloudy start but brightened up nicely which is unusual for the school holidays.
 
Well done on your YS haul Farway, I'm never very lucky in that section of the SM.
 
Got my online delivery yesterday so decided to have a productive morning in the kitchen; froze some of the fresh stuff and cooked up some to have individual portions available.

Three portions of my favourite bolognaise are now in the freezer, there's a beef stroganoff on the stove for tonight with probably two portions leftover to go in the freezer also a gammon joint cooking in the SC this afternoon.
 
Lunch was a mini pork pie, pickles and a salad.

I just did the jet washing. I didn't do it thoroughly as it got quite cold and windy even though it is sunny. I will do it again in a couple of weeks. I just saw on the news that March was the sunniest on record.

i had a late brunch of a sandwich and grilled asparagus.

I saw that, maybe Alan Titchmarsh  talking about the money they had lost from visitors and a while longer before it's finished. My local FB page was saying they were putting on buses between Guildford, Woking and somewhere else to out side the gardens I'm assuming to try and increase visits by train. 

Still blue skies but a bit windy today, by the time I went out at 7pm  it had stopped blowing.

scrambled egg on toast for lunch 

Waitrose chicken pie from the freezer with veg for dinner, I wasn't impressed with the pie M&S ones were better

Farway

Sun & blue sky again, a chilly wind though, which I hope drops and gives me chance to do bit of garden pottering..

Hoping to finalise my online shop, trying Sainsbury for the first time next week, seems a wider choice than Asda, at least for what I require. Have to wait & see how it turns out.

Waitrose have at last spat out some coupons for Easter, so I can now update my list.

Lunch BLT sarnie

Dinner, LO YS salmon en croute + LO HM cauli cheese

It is a lovely day again. The weather and daylight makes such a difference to my mood. I am having a kombucha mango and passion fruit drink at the moment and I'm about to clean the bathroom and make a smoothie.

Good morning everyone, 
Another sunny one here. Like Wednesday I'm just about to go and clean the bathroom.
Just me and Hector today as DS2 is off to Leeds for a meeting, he's gone on the train and all being well should be back around 11pm.
My expected deliveries never appeared yesterday so hoping they turn up today.
Cottage cheese and avocado salad for lunch. Dinner is tbc I'll see what I fancy later.

The grass was white with frost again but by mid morning turned out lovely.
 
Mini pork pie again for lunch with salad and pickles.
 
Tonight I'll have some of the gammon I cooked yesterday with mashed potatoes, ts broccoli and a mustard sauce.

Another nice day blue skies and sunshine 🌞 

I was taken to lunch by my elderly friend as a thank you, she's usually a nightmare to take out as there is always something wrong (she does admit to being very fussy) but we both had a lovely pub lunch in a village about 7 miles away and she didn't complain once 🥳 I think that's a first in the 35 years I've known her 😁

It was a two course lunch so just some fruit for dinner

I'm having a mint tea. I got up early as I have an Amazon delivery and sometimes they are here at 7 in the morning. I'm trying to read another book as I have been very slack with reading this year and I'm trying to read 100 books.

I'm not sure what to have for breakfast yet. It looks like another nice day out there.
