Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Cheese and mayonnaise sandwich and some sautéed chard tonight.

Usual Friday volunteering in town, I park in Sainsbury's as it's closest to and cheapest using just Park so I popped in for milk and found they had half legs of lamb half price at the moment so one fell into my bag and then into my freezer 😋 I'm sure my sister will sniff it out to share 😁

LO chicken for lunch with a watercress salad followed by a donut someone brought in a tray 🫣

Soup for dinner as I CBA to cook

Good morning everyone, 
Another rather grey and chilly one here. 
Had a lovely catch up with friends yesterday, in the end because of the time of day we just went to Costa which was fine apart from the air con going full blast!
DS2 has booked a tip appointment so we can do the final greenhouse clear and have room to stash the long garden table over the winter. The rest of the garden furniture will fit okay in the garage and that be the garden put to bed until next Spring.
Fridge bits for lunch, there's bacon medallions needing used up so possibly a BLT wrap or the last portion of the carrot and coriander soup. Easy curry tonight using up the remainder of the chicken, turmeric and lentil one I made a couple of weeks ago.

Dull & grey, mild though.

That was a bargain with the lamb Brambling, I was looking at the prices and decided to hang onto the frozen leg I have. It was surplus for 2024 Christmas, but given recent prices, it will do fine for the 2025 one

I'm a bit sniffly & achy from Flu / Cov jabs, but nothing so bad that sitting around with a hot drink and watching dross on TV won't help.

Not Bovril though, I reconsidered after adding it to my next shopping, and have removed it. I'll find a cheaper alternative

Lunch, some of my HM soup, reading about soupy stew makes me wish I'd left mine like that. I blitzed it to smooth, but now I wish I'd left it chunkier.

Dinner, depending on how I feel, more soup or perhaps nuke something from freezer

I’m going to get my flu jab next week. I hope I don’t get a reaction as I often do.

I had a strawberry and banana smoothie and a wrap with two veggie sausages and ketchup.

I’m off to Columbia Road flower market tomorrow for the first time which should be nice.

Papaya for breakfast. Omelette for lunch, fish curry, rice and naan for tea.

Oops, I have no eggs. Will pick something up at the Bulgarian shop for lunch.

Good morning everyone, 
Grey and chilly again here. We had thick mist yesterday evening but it's cleared overnight.
Greenhouse has been cleared and garden furniture stashed so the garden is looking very bare. 
Yesterday I looked at what veg needing using up sooner rather than later and ended up making a pot of pea, lettuce and leek soup using lurking veg and a tin of marrowfat peas. It's very tasty and will cover lunches for a few days. The butternut squash will last for a while yet.  I'll be well souped today as we are having the remaining chicken & rice soup I made last week and froze for dinner tonight.

I had cereal and sliced banana with oat milk before I left to go to the flower market. I had avocado on sourdough in a cafe there. I saw so many cute dogs there.

I'm not sure what to have for dinner. I do have some leftover orzo that I made yesterday with peas, asparagus, and carrots so I might have something from the freezer with that.

My elderly friend took a tumble in town yesterday, she's fine other than having to sit for quite a few hours in A&E due to the worry that she may have bumped her head and she's on blood thinners.  I was volunteering and missed her call due to no signal. She was embarrassed but I think it's a good sign that eight people rushed to help and one remembered he had seen paramedics in town and went to get them which is why she ended up in hospital she would have gone home in a taxi as she said she hadn't hit her head.  I did panic this morning when four phone calls and three text went unanswered, when I got there and let myself in she was 'sorting' the bathroom and was going to call me back when she finished!! I think it was payback for missing her call 🙄 I'll pop in tomorrow as she needs some IT stuff done and I was due at a friends.

I took a Scottish £10 note yesterday in the shop and want to know why do we have boring money when you have otters on yours?

Last of my soup for lunch, I had froze a couple of portions. I hadn't distributed the meatballs very well so added some chopped chicken to it 😋 

chicken and chips for dinner.  The rest of the chicken and bones have been stuck in the freezer I'm all chickened out so will make soup in a few weeks.  His lordship has appreciated the abundance of chicken 😁
