Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Good morning everyone,

I'll second the cheese, grated carrot and mayo combination. I like to add some finely chopped spring onion too and it makes a lovely baked spud topping.

No dogs in the convoy N2BT that would have been a sight lol. The restaurant wasn't pooch friendly so they were chilling in DS1's flat.

Lovely catch up with my friend yesterday over very tasty lentil soup and egg mayo sandwich. World was suitably put to rights. After being busy three days in a row I'm tired so ready for a quietish one today. The temperature has dropped a bit so it's feeling much more pleasant so I'm hoping to spend a few hours in the garden reading and pottering this afternoon. Fridge gravel for lunch. JO's double pepper chicken from his 7 ways book with for dinner.

I had such a craving for baked spuds that I ordered some in my Tesco shopping today. I don't have any carrots in at the moment, though.

Day off and a day out with family in beautiful weather 😊

Picnic lunch and just did pesto and green bean pasta with grilled salmon fillet tonight, all the fresh air has worn me out 😅

Catch up on household chores day - washing out and easily dried, then pasta sauce made using up veg that was on the turn. The remaining gammon portioned up and frozen with enough scraps leftover for a lunchtime sandwich.

Bowling afternoon but have somehow managed to get myself sucked into more competitions just because they need someone to help out - heigh ho but it’s all fun isn't it

Dinner was an easy dinner of salmon quiche from the freezer and boiled new pots with a side salad.

sorry you didn't enjoy your holiday Wednesday

I offered to volunteer at the bookshop again today to help cover holidays. It's still too hot in the shop for me 🥵

Chicken pasta salad for lunch

Chicken Kiev, wedges and veg for dinner

Farway

Nice sunny sort of day, temperature is just right for July

Asda order arrived with two subs [lettuce & carrot] and two, not a problem, out of stock items. Unfortunately I had to send the steaks, on offer, back, only two days left BBE, which at £12 was too risky for me. OK to chance as YS but not new, fresh.

Carrots were subbed as well 😂 to smaller 500g pack, so I have some, just not a lot, as P Daniels may have quipped

Lunch, Sandwich, has to be grated cheese & carrot + mayo combo, no spring onion but I have a red one to pop some in

Dinner, pasty, with some AF chips & salad bits

Good morning everyone,

No I wouldn't have accepted the steaks either Farway unless they were YS!

Another sunny and warm day here, the temperature has dropped to just how I like it, shame it is to break at the weekend. DS2 is quietly swearing over putting our new gazebo together which was ordered so we could stop playing find the shade when DGD is here. DGD's first tooth has broken through, she young to have teeth at 5 months but DS1 was the same so must take that from him. She has shared her cold though and I'm all sniffles today after starting a scratchy throat yesterday. Hoping it remains just a minor lurgy. Off out this afternoon for a routine medical appointment but apart from that I'm planning a quiet day.

LOs for lunch and Pinch of Nom's Moroccan salmon with crispy kale and sweet potatoes for dinner.

Bowling match this morning then had coffee and scones in the cafe so no lunch required today.

Hope you feel better soon Caronc, children are so generous with their germs aren't they.

Pasta with prawns and peas tonight with hm garlic bread.

Office today and haven't stopped, even had a meeting take 40 minutes less than it should have but still seemed to spend all day catching up from one day off!

Feta and olive salad in my lunchbox with some nice bread LO from yesterday's picnic 😋

Marinated a chicken breast in lemon and paprika tonight then chucked it on the bbq. Made coleslaw and had with tomato and rocket salad and warm new potatoes with butter and spring onions.

Thanks to his lordship heading butting the bottom of my mug this morning and dumping tea over my pale linen trousers I did some washing this morning although I did bring it in before going out after lunch as it got very cloudy. Unfortunately it didn't rain.

Walnut, blue cheese and pear salad, these pears still won't ripen and are a little tasteless

Breakfast for dinner! Bacon, egg, beans, tomato and toasted bagel
