Cooking for one (Mark Three)

justkeepswimmimg

Quite a nice day here, breezy but mostly sunny, popped a load of washing through and got it dry on the line 🙃

Not done much else except grocery shop and caught up with myself really.

Filled pasta with tuna, sweetcorn and sunny dried tomatoes for lunch. Oven fish and chips with tinned mushy peas tonight 😋, very lazy but wanted to watch Strictly 💃

Grey, dull & mild. maybe sunny later & next week.

I'm trying to sort out a mid week Waitrose delivery, but every-time I go to check out another item on my list becomes un-available on line 🙄. I'm only getting the delivery due to my tumble , still a bit achey & wary of over doing things, normally I'd do top up & mooch in Morries. Nothing is urgent so at a pinch I can do without

Lunch, cheese salad sandwich

Dinner, grilled gammon, mushrooms, fried eggs & AF chips. Nice and easy with out a green veg in sight

Another lovely sunny day, it did feel quite chilly first thing although it's warmed up nicely this afternoon.

Lunch was a bacon roll. 

Dinner - I’m making salmon fishcakes and spicy yoghurt marinated cauliflower.

Same as N2BT - slightly chilly first thing but turned into a gorgeous day. Pottering and then out for a swim this morning.

Met my sister for posh sandwich lunch at local garden centre then had a mooch and ran a couple of errands.

Chicken thighs with creamy leeks and beans tonight. LO chicken and bean mixture. Also roasted some carrots for tomorrow's packed lunch while the oven was on 🙃

I'm not sure if I have the lurgy or it's paint fumes but I'm feeling a little yuck and coughing like a sixty a day smoker even with inhalers 🤧😷 I cancelled lunch with a friend yesterday and a visit to EF today just in case. I did sleep a lot yesterday afternoon and had a early broken night.

My sister popped around today to inspect the decorating, it met her seal of approval both colours and workmanship. All windows in the house were opened just as well it was nice outside

Strawberry and banana smoothie for lunch as I wasn't really hungry.

I had to cook a half leg of lamb tonight which as I cba I popped in the ninja to AF. Whilst it rested a crisped up some LO mash in there and just had some peas. There is LO lamb for a few meals

A warm & sunny day ahead, may get muggy they say. Not to knock it but a bit of Caron rain would help, drying out again & I was out watering this morning. At least it's ripening the tomatoes, and I picked five pounds of my apples yesterday

Lunch, salad sarnie again.

Dinner, C & O pasty, AF chips + salad

Good morning everyone,

I realised when I was in bed that I hadn't posted yesterday. Like others it was a cool start but turned into a pleasant, if that warm, day. I had a lovely roast lunch followed by HM trifle at my friends and didn't get home until after 5pm. Before I went I enjoyed cuddles with a very wriggly DGD. Dinner was a small bowl of red pepper, bean and corn soup from the freezer.

On Saturday I froze the remaining portions of the cauli and leek soup so that will be defrosted to cover lunch today. Making this tonight using a piece of cooked ham from the freezer Ham And Egg Fried Rice Recipe | Tesco Real Food , I'll steam baby corn, carrots and broccoli to have on the side to boost the veg.

Lovely sunny day again but I’m definitely starting to feel quite a drop in the overnight temp. 

I caught up on a few household chores this morning and tidied the freezer. I  decided it was time to use up some of the unlabeled mini containers of stuff in there. For example “red sauce” it could be pakora sauce, pasta sauce even thai curry sauce, they all ended up in a soup with the chickpea cooking liquor I froze a few weeks ago, I added some chopped leeks, overripe tomatoes and a handful of quinoa to thicken - omg I’ll never be able to recreate this but it tastes great 😍

Also realized I had accrued quite a selection of sausages so I defrosted a pork one, squeezed it out of its skin, browned it off, added some leeks, peas, sweetcorn, fennel seed, chicken stock and orzo - smells delish and will be ready soon for my dinner.

Out early as it was an office day, definitely needed a jacket first thing but got warm during the day. Had a half hour walk before making tea as have sat inside all day.

Cumin and paprika roasted carrot, lentils and feta salad in my lunch box. Just had pesto pasta with tuna, sweetcorn, spring onion, cherry tomatoes and tenderstem, used up a few bits and bobs 🙃

Brambling

A warm day so I could open all windows without putting in a jumper and dry a load of washing.

I'm still coughing, sneezing and wheezing and didn't sleep well so a quiet day at home, just popping out to pick up my regular prescription.

A tin of tomato soup for lunch, a childhood comfort food.

LO lamb and mash potato with broccoli for dinner
