Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Good morning everyone,
Sunny but decidedly chilly. DS2 popped the heating on when he came back from walking Hector first thing as it was only 14C in the hall and colder in the front room he works from! I think when I next strip my bed I'll swap duvets for a heavier one. My sis is due to collect Ari and will no doubt stay for a cuppa and a natter then I'll tackle some domestics. I was fairly slothful over the weekend so there's a few things needing done.
Cooked extra veg last night to turn into a quick soup for lunch. Chicken thighs are defrosting to make Yoghurt Chicken curry for dinner.0 -
It is sunny, but very windy. I opened all the windows as usual this morning and a microfibre towel I keep on the upstairs banisters came floating down the stairs. I didn't know what it was!
I have had a toasted pitta with avocado and I'm about to make a smoothie. I'm trying to use up food from the freezer and cupboards so I'm making either spag bol again or chilli with potato wedges to use up a packet of veggie mince in the freezer.0 -
Nice & sunny morningMinor panic, the computer won't connect to the internet, so I've had to switch to my spare W11 desktop, which I bought a bit back when I had PC troubles. I may stay on this one now, once I've sorted out my back-ups.Lunch, sandwich, filling TBDDinner, the LO turkey breast + stuffing + salad bits

Chilly start here too and I think the maximum temp today is 14c but the sun is shining so not all bad.
Mostly odds, ends and leftovers today =
I’ll have a cress, lettuce and cucumber sandwich for lunch, followed by a perfectly ripe pear
There’s cooked chicken and leftover mashed potato to be used, so I'll make a pot pie for dinner tonight with leeks, carrot and green beans on the side.
