Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Wednesday2000

I was going to make carrot and lentil soup, but I went out for a walk and it is quite humid here. I did buy bread from Coop so I had some with marg, some vegan smoked ham (that I don’t like much) and some tomatoes and gherkins.

Back to sunny weather here today, quite a change from yesterday afternoon when I went for a game of bowls and got absolutely soaked. After that some comfort eating was required so I had a generous portion of cauliflower cheese, new pots and peas followed by strawberries and yoghurt.

I met up with a friend for a cuppa and a cheese scone late morning so no lunch was required. 

I did a quick shop in tesco before the bus home, I was on the lookout to see if they had those limited edition sausages that they had last summer but no joy. They did however have merchant gourmet pouches on clubcard price so picked up some spanish grains to have with my hot smoked salmon tonight.

N2BT they are back in my Tesco so fingers crossed they'll be back in yours soon.

Not a bad day here but was in the office so didn’t see much of it.

Second portion of the roast carrot feta, cranberry and pecan couscous for lunch. One of the steaks and half the chips from the co-op deal with grilled beefsteak tomato and peas tonight 😋

A volunteering day so naturally it was dry, it meant we were quite busy.

Bulgar wheat salad for lunch with salmon, roasted beetroot and roasted radishes and marinated and a few other salad bits. Followed by a large bowl of berries.

I didn't fancy LO Korean chicken for dinner so just did some scrambled egg on toast

Back to wind & rain today.

Finalising my Asda delivery for next week, can't spot any super offers so it's basic milk & loo rolls etc

Lunch, made a fresh BM load, so it's BLT sarnie

Dinner, TBD, but will be pig parts. I have ham shanks or small gammon joint, so one of those

I was sick of having yoghurt so I had a slice of sourdough with butter and a choccie biscuit for breakfast!

I am going to have these lemon and herb bites with steamed veg for lunch. Not sure about dinner.

Good morning everyone,

Grey, damp and chilly here today, Yesterday turned out drier than forecasted but I don't think we'll be so lucky today. I had a lovely evening with the family. DGD was on good form despite having jabs the day before and for some reason thinks dinosaurs is the funniest word ever! Thoroughly enjoyed the Lebanese takeaway, all the food was tasty but the kibbeh and falafel were outstanding. It's was very reasonably priced and enough LO for DS1 and DIL to have for lunch. Not much planned for today, DS2 is working some extra hours, I need to do some ironing and decide what to wear to a Guide event tomorrow afternoon, Tesco are also due later so suspect the day will just disappear. Fridge bits for lunch and spicy burger bowls for dinner using a couple of the burgers from the bbq packs Morrisons had at the bank holiday.

Thanks Caronc, I thought I could smell them but it must have been the kebab skewers that are close to where the sausages are. I wasn't having much luck as I fancied some crab sticks too and they weren't in stock either.

Not too bad a day today with a bit of light rain but otherwise quite pleasant out there.

Lunch was crusty bread, brie and red onion chutney. 

There was word on social media that the herring season had started so I popped out early to the fishmonger to get a piece which I’ll coat in oatmeal and fry in butter and have it with jersey royals and peas.

JKS, I’m thinking of making prawn saganaki tomorrow. I've looked up a couple of recipes and one uses white wine another uses ouzo. Do you follow a particular recipe? 

I do have pernod which would give that boozy aniseed hit 😉
