Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Wednesday2000

London was unbearable yesterday. My husband told me the wrong Pizza Express restaurant so I had to walk about for 20 mins so I got even hotter and then the restaurant didn’t have any air conditioning!

I was glad to get back to my hotel and rest last night. I had doughballs and pizza last night for dinner and I have just had some fruit. I’m going out for lunch before I get the train home. It is meant to be much cooler today, thankfully.

Still hot & uncomfortable last night, burning sun again today.

Asda delivery arrived,one minor sub, and the choc ices are in there 😀, with a taste test this afternoon

Lunch, no cook salad sarnie

Dinner, Bought some Cod bite things as a part of an offer, new one on me, so may AF some for dinner, I'm guessing sort of round fish fingers

Good morning everyone,

I'm a fair skinned red head though will take a gradual tan if I'm careful but burn very easily.

It's to reach the low 20s here today which is as high as I can cope with and still function. I'm off to my sister's for lunch her living area gets the sun late in the day so should be relatively cool. We're meeting up with relatives who we haven't had a catch up in ages as they moved away just at the end of Covid. Suspect dinner will not be required tonight.

It's a bit overcast here today which is making it much more comfortable to be out and about doing stuff. The sea is very calm as well so I’m enjoying my morning cuppa on dolphin watch, there’s been a report from further down the coast but nothing here so far.

Met a friend for a cuppa and a very large cheese scone, so nothing else needed for lunch. For dinner I’ll air fry courgette & asparagus and put them in a lasagna with some pasta sauce and feta.

I had "chicken" tacos with some lemon fries for lunch. It was delicious. London was still quite hot. It was very nice to get out of my local train station and feel the sea breeze again.

Much cooler day here thankfully but still sunny.

Nipped to M&S food at lunchtime for eggs (and a look for YS items but no joy) so scrambled eggs and avocado on toasted bagel for lunch. Used up various ends of things in a pasta puttanesca tonight, served with a balsamic dressed little gem and green bean salad.

Caronc I had two headed grandparents one on each side,I was really dark haired with auburn underneath especially in the summer my sister a real strawberry blond when little and a red headed grandparent by her teens so not sure how she got the olive skin 😁

Half term so i volunteered at Petworth today, it was very quiet, I think the heat is pushing people to the coast.

I forgot my lunch today 🙄 so brought a cheese scone.

I really didn't want to sort dinner but was hungry (I caught up on lost sleep when I got home so was running late) so opened a tin Lidl giant Greek butter beans in tomato sauce and sprinkled with cheese

Hot sun again, but a breeze so not as humid. Anther sticky & restless night, so lost sleep to catch up, I found myself dozing yesterday watching TV. 😴

Lunch, easy salad sarnie

Dinner, the LO cod bites from yesterday AFd. They were nothing special, more of a gimmick IMO, so not buying again. Plus AF frozen chips & peas

Good morning everyone,

Good old gene pool Brambling lol, my Mum and maternal Grandmother were both olive skinned redheads as is my sister. I inherited the hair colour but not the skin tone!

I had a lovely time at my sister's yesterday, she cooked Greek style lamb with loads of sides and an orange cake for pud so felt pretty stuffed afterwards. Today I need to get stuck into some voluntary admin and I'm hoping my bedding plants arrive.

Warm again here today, it's supposed to be last of the dry days and I'm hoping that doesn't mean we've had summer. We are going take advantage of the good weather and rotisserie another chicken. Some of which we'll have tonight. Lunch will be cottage cheese and tuna salad. Dinner will be Chinese style chicken and dumpling broth bowls with loads of veg. The broth and dumplings are from the freezer so just some veg to sort out later.

Much cooler start and quite overcast, sun came out but then the thunderstorms arrived, had to put the light on for a bit to work. Dried and brightened up, and then got steadily warmer as the afternoon went on but has felt pleasant.

End of the houmous with carrot sticks, feta and olives, toasted pitta and cherry tomatoes for lunch. BBQd a whole red pointed pepper tonight and made into a salad with butter beans, feta and some of the yummy lemon and caper dressing.
