Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Need2bthrifty

Not a bad day but there is a very chilly wind making it feel a lot worse than it looks.

Not much on my to do list for today so I jumped a bus to the next town for a mooch around the shops. Picked up some books and dvd’s in a charity shop, thay will amuse me for a few hours.

Lunch was the last of the ham with salad and crusty bread.

I have a couple of chicken thighs cooking in the SC, I’ll use one tonight with some pesto pasta.

Yes, chilly wind here too although it was a nice bright day mostly.

One of those annoying work days where I didn’t seem to achieve very much but didn’t stop. There was quite a lot of grumpy people too (including me at times) 😂

Another portion of quiche with salad, coleslaw and bread and butter for lunch. Remembered to take sausages out of the freezer so had those with the other half of the creamy leeks, cabbage and cannellini beans tonight.

Brambling

It's been a mild day, it did try and rain late morning but it didn't last.

Meeting today with SW and EF it seems they will decide if she needs to go to a permanent care home and not her they could still decide on home carers as they are funding it. She did say although EF has a greater mental capacity than in hospital she thinks her initial findings done in hospital still stands and that was she wouldn't cope at home. She had to speak to the care home, write her report and get sign off so it will be next week and is not definite yet. EF told her neighbour they were finding her a care home in town so obviously heard what she wanted to hear during the visit and afterwards with me repeating it, hopefully it will work out that way especially as the cat is going on Thursday.

New half price M&S towels arrived when I was out, they made me realised how thin mine had gotten. They are so thick and heavy I got two sets (hand, bath, bath sheet) and washed one set tonight. My old ones will go to the vets as they always ask for them.

I left her over lunch and went for a walk, the home is in the town I used to work in pre covid. I brought a M&S chicken and bacon Caesar wrap and was very disappointed with it, about half was binned.

Salmon and asparagus risotto for dinner, I picked up some nice asparagus on the fruit and veg stall

Seems I forgot to post yesterday, all ready to go but must have been distracted.

Nice pale sunshine, and quite warm after overnight rain. Up to Morries for a mooch, but mainly for Deisel, it's gone up 11p overnight, now £1.55 a litre

I was hoping to find the offer half price [£2.50] chickens but just a chicken sized space on the shelf 😒 My Morries has had a refurb, all the chilled stuff is now behind glass doors, not open shelves. All very well & energy saving, except it's hard to see what there. I gave up looking for kippers and lamb.

Did buy some posh bangers on offer, pork & leek, but seems it was bad day for YS, none at all, empty paces only

Lunch, posh banger sarnie

Dinner, posh bangers, not so posh eggs & AF chips
