Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Another catch up post as forgot yesterday. Lunch was a fishfinger sandwich and last night was pesto pasta with tuna and green beans before going out.

Strange warm but damp day today and I have been out and about for work. Lunch was therefore supermarket feta and sun-dried tomato pasta salad (one of their less average offerings 😅). Made sort of pork stroganoff tonight, with noodles and tenderstem.

Brambling

I've spent the day trying to sort out issues for EF including a big one with the local authority, the team who sent a letter today have wiped their hands of it (no longer our problem!) but can't give me a number of the team I need to speak to, the person who sent the letter did say she would email them to call me today which hasn't happened 😡 I have to explain to EF tomorrow I've asked the home manager to sit in as I know EF will not hear or forget and she will remind her. I may need at least a gin by dinner time! 🍷🍸🥃 🍰🧁🍫

A portion of nanas magic soup for lunch.

Pear, fig, walnut and blue cheese for dinner as my appetite still isn't great.

I had a big slice of the bakery bread I bought yesterday with Flora and Vegemite.

I have some marinated Quorn pieces in the fridge and I have stir fry veg so that will be my lunch. I am getting a Mexican takeaway tonight.

Good morning everyone,

Dry and trying to be sunny after torrential rain overnight.

Stove chap is coming this afternoon to finish the service but apart from that it's admin and chores.

LOs for lunch and tonight Pinch of Noms Moroccan Spiced Salmon. I'll make sweet potato wedges and crispy Cavolo Nero to have with it.

A misty, drizzly morning here but brightening up a bit now. 

I went to the fishmonger early on as I wanted to get a piece of smoked haddock for dinner tonight. I’ll do some puy lentils with carrots and celery as a bed for the haddock and maybe add a runny poached on top.

Lunch was a couple of slices of toast with cheese spread, sliced tomatoes and cucumber.

Later today, got distracted.

Asda delivery arrived OK, well sort of OK, one non available but not important item, but the bacon was use by tomorrow, what? Had to send that back, along with a block of cheese that was part of the same offer. I've found if I send only part offer back I get charged full whack for remaining items, so now I send all back

Waitrose Christmas delivery is open, and just about full already here. Delivery cost is increased to £6 [normal for me is £4] But I went ahead and filled a basket for 21st, only slots handy for me. Learned lesson from past and not added fresh turkey or bottles of booze, only to forget to amend my list 😂

Lunch, mince & veg pasty

Dinner, not really hungry, so it's TBD

Nice productive day at work plus a load of bedding washed and dried on the line. Glad I took the gamble to put the washer on when it was dark and chucking it down this morning. Turned into a lovely afternoon so had a walk into town after work too.

Scrambled eggs and avocado on toasted bagel for lunch. LO creamy leeks and beans with salmon fillet and tenderstem tonight.

Farway

Rain overnight, but blue sky now.

The, longed for, rain has revealed I now have a leaky roof. 😮Drip, drip from above a window last night. Managed to catch it in a container so at least it's not all down wall etc. Today is find a roofer day. At least I do have "rainy day money" put aside for just such an event

Lunch, small salad bowl, maybe cheesy croutons topping?

Dinner. Not sure. I do have some fresh pork chops but may have something else TBD

Good morning everyone,

I hope the roof problem is an easy fix Farway.

Dry and trying to be bright here but rain is forecast for later. Forecast over the next few days is mixed but hopefully it won't tip down too much while I'm away. Very much looking forward to a wee break as my voluntary role has been more than a tad stressful this week. Heading off tomorrow so this will be my last post for a few days.

Lunch is tbc/ fridge gravel. I have a lot of mushrooms so maybe a mushroom omelette. Easy roast cauli and chickpea curry tonight using up a jar of sauce. I'm fancying having it with a baked spud rather than the usual rice.

Are you sure it isn't covered by your insurance Farway?

I didn't have Mexican last night as I wasn't that hungry. I just had a veggie Gregg's sausage roll as my husband bought some when he went out to the cinema yesterday.
