Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Good morning everyone, 
And the rain came tumbling down! Our weather warning for heavy rain today is proving accurate. Thankfully it's not windy as well but it decidedly chilly.
I'm CFO for a couple of days as DS2 is heading to London with work soon for a training course tomorrow. I want to wash all my cushions etc. as it's easier to do this when there's just me here. I'll nab the v-pillow from my bed to support my back when I'm watching TV tonight. 
Lunch will be another portion of the BNS and tomato soup. Dinner is tbc possibly a stir fry or a HM RM from the freezer.

A very chilly walk to the bus stop this morning but I managed a trip to the next town and back before the rain started. 

This afternoon I need to tidy and reorganise the freezer as well as update the inventory.

Another bowl of warming soup for lunch and more from the freezer tonight = black pudding, lorne sausage, a potato waffle topped with a fried egg and some grilled tomatoes.

dull, damp & breezy, typical November day again

Nice free money. Around here Toob are pushing hard as new kid on the block, and they have run their own wires so not reliant on existing networks. No idea if any good, but at least another option.

Thanks Farway I'll investigate.  Looks like we have the same weather this side of the border 🙂

Lunch was another cheese and coleslaw sandwich.

i reheated LOs for another lamb dinner 😋 I made soup with the rest of the LO veg, I boiled a potato and half a small leek in stock and favouring and added the veg in and blitzed,  enough for three portions.

Bright grey but dry for now

Not much CFO today. This afternoon is a Volunteer "Thank you buffet," so a very light lunch, and who knows about dinner?

I have plenty of frozen MFOs to choose from  if I fancy something

Good morning everyone, 
Grey but dry which is welcome after a very wet day yesterday. I washed all the cushions etc. as planned yesterday so hope to get them outside for a bit though they've dried pretty well over racks overnight. Today I want to clean the conservatory windows, doors and sills inside and out. It's job that once I motivate myself to start I actually quite enjoy!
My freezer rake yesterday unearthed a small pack of raggy veal slices that used to make a soupy stir fry with loads of veg and some rice. It made lots so LOs for lunch. I need to have another rake and decide for tonight as DS2 isn't back until after midnight so I'm CFO again. I made the base for a batch of tomato sauce yesterday that I'll finish today. My sis is coming for dinner tomorrow and I'm making Moroccan lamb meatballs using burgers from Tebay Farm shop.

I'm really tired from all the walking in London I did today and yesterday. I had bruschetta and lentil and pesto pasta for dinner at the restaurant yesterday. I had a pot of pineapple this morning and sourdough toast when I got home. It is really warm and sunny today here! I did some vacuuming and laundry when I got home and I feel quite hot now. I have some lemon and herb "chicken" cutlets to try for dinner for the first time tonight and I might have a jacket potato and a big salad with it as it seems to be salad weather, in November!

There was a good breeze this morning so I took the opportunity to wash my bedding and got it out as soon as it was light. It had 3 hours before the rain arrived and was pretty much dry when I took it in so no need for the heated airer. Temp going down to single figures from tomorrow and getting very low next week 

I have lettuce that needs using so today I had a cheese salad with some pickles for lunch.

I’m in the mood for pasta tonight so defrosting a portion of ragu for a spag bol with ts broccoli on the side.

Thought I’d posted last night but must have fallen asleep 😂

Took LO butternut squash and chicken risotto to the office for lunch yesterday and then had a posh fishfinger sandwich after swimming last night.

Last of the chicken and butternut in a wrap with feta for lunch today. Will be creamy sausage and leek pasta with broccoli tonight.

Expensive start to the day, a trip to the hygienist ouch in more ways than one.  I'm not sure why but I needed to use my inhaler when I got there.  I parked in Sainsbury's so has to go spend £10 for the parking, very easy to do these days on a few basics.

As I expected I was given the runaround by sky again, they asked me to call them and said Outreach had advised there was a issue and they would need to look for a solution meanwhile outreach were cancelling until they did.  I said fine as this was something sky had pushed for, the First lady passed me on to another team, not sure why it was so easy for them to do it last time with out telling me and more difficult today 🤨🤬 she kept saying of course it's your right to change your mind, so I kept saying no you're making me do this!! I was a little worried as she talked about I shouldn't lose broadband or landline. I also upset her by saying I wanted my new contract stopped in case I found someone else.  We shall wait and see, afterwards I googled and searched using my postcode and it seems we don't have full fibre yet 🙄 which is what I queried a month ago, so not a case of OR looking for a solution but waiting for installation which should have been done a year ago. Oh well first world problems.

Vegetable soup for lunch a very tasty probably won't be able to repeat soup 😁 Lazy egg and chips for dinner.

I have had a cup of tea so far and I’m about to make some sourdough toast.

The lemon chicken weren’t cutlets as they were more like pieces. I’m going to have the leftovers with added peri peri seasoning and fresh lemon with steamed rice and veg for dinner tonight.

I’m getting my hair done today as it has been over two months. It looks quite bright and sunny again, but I will bring my umbrella just in case.
