Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Farway

Nice sunny day and blue sky. Unfortunately I seem to have a minor lurgy, sneezing away & feeling achey & not right. Luckily nothing planned or urgent so a day in front of TV with a hot drink, or Lemsip type, will do me good

Meals, I'll be just picking at what I find, cold roast chicken, cheese, cereal maybe? toast etc. One good thing about CFO is the ability to please yourself on food choices

Another lovely day here although it still feels quite chilly first thing.

I soaked some chickpeas overnight and got them in the SC early this morning. They didn't take too long to cook so I froze most of them but used some to make mini “bite sized” falafel which will be handy for lunchtime pittas or salads.

Potatoes were starting to go a bit sprouty so I roasted some whilst the oven was on for the falafel, they’ll go in the freezer and I used the rest to made a pot of potato & leek soup for lunch.

Chilli con carne with chips and a sweetcorn salsa tonight.

Beautiful day here, load of washing dry, all but cuffs of a sweatshirt, this afternoon.

Did a pile of ironing while I watched Saturday Kitchen this morning, and have done some more sorting and decluttering plus a fairly big grocery shop.

Posh fishfinger sandwich for lunch. Chipotle black bean and feta fajitas tonight, used up the jar of chipotle, the end of a sad red pepper and some little gem lettuce.

it definitely feels spring like again today 🌞

I did some pottering at home this morning and then around to EFs flat I had been given instructions on a couple of things she wanted and a small shopping list when she called lunchtime. I did some sorting when I was there but gave up on running a quick wash in her dish washer before taking kitchen stuff to CS I didn't want to wait nearly four hours or leave it running and I couldn't get it to do a quick wash. What's wrong with dials or buttons!

LO orzo salad for lunch. Thick pork chop with mashed potatoes (normal and sweet potato) broccoli, green beans and carrots.
