Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Good morning everyone,

Belated Happy Birthday Farway. 🎂

Still blowy, cool and showery here. I finally sowed my tom and cue seeds yesterday just need decent light and warmth now, winter does seem to be dragging on this year. Only got a drawer sorted through yesterday so will carry on with that today.

The tofu "facon" bagel was very good though not the best recipe on the Tesco website with a couple of the ingredients missing from the list and what would have been IMHO a bit of a bland chickpea patty if I hadn't pimped it up a bit. That said it's I definitely make it again. Another bagel for lunch, this time with smoked salmon and cream cheese. Fruit platter for afters. Dinner tonight is chicken, veg and lentil soup from the freezer.

Belated happy birthday Farway like N2BT I forgot you had mentioned it. I also meant to say well done on the weight lost Carconc, three dress sizes is a whole new wardrobe.

Lazy day pottering after a late start, I did feed his lordship and let him out at 6am and went back to bed. He wasn't impressed by the rain which had stopped when I got up.

Last of the hummus with carrots and celery for lunch.

Last of the ratatouille with rice for dinner, it was the gift which kept on giving 🙂 I was going to have roast pork but didn't fancy it so popped it into the freezer

Yoghurt for breakfast, bagel for lunch, burger and rice with freezer veg Japanese style for dinner.

Cold but sunny, back to normal after birthday bits & bobs

Finalised the Asda delivery for Wednesday, think I remembered everything but I was struggling to get to the £40 min for my delivery, loo rolls to the rescue 😀

Lunch, more LO pork pie + salad bits

Dinner, LO cooked veg as bubble & squeak, with last of the pork pie and anything else knocking around in the fridge

Oh sorry, happy belated birthday Farway. I must have missed that.

I thought those chickpea patties looked a bit bland when I looked at the recipe Caronc.

It is a nice sunny day here. I have a GP appointment and then I have a show tonight and am staying overnight at a hotel. I have had some strawberries and a banana as I might eat out for lunch.

Good morning everyone,

Yes the patties definitely needed more than the recipe stated. I added onion, garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander and cayenne along with the parsley, turmeric and seasoning and they ended up really tasty.

Another grey, cold and wet day here but my day has been lifted with an absolute cracking call I had to make to a fairly large company. Expecting the usual " your call is important to us but we are exceptionally busy" malarkey I was delighted to pretty much get straight through to a really helpful call agent. If only all experiences were like that! Just need to hope now that the problem is actually solved. Admin and domestics are today's plans. Fridge bits for lunch and JO's fish pie soup/stew for dinner, I chopped the veg base yesterday so it won't take long to put together later.
