Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Some rain overnight here too but its turned out to be a lovely sunny day albeit there’s still a brisk wind blowing. The sea has calmed down a bit today although large waves were coming over the sea wall yesterday afternoon and I could hear them roaring during the night too.

I was very generous with the quantities of lentils & veg I cooked last night so I’ll use some for lunch as a warm salad with goats cheese and beetroot, the other two portions will go in the freezer and get used in a veggie lasagne/moussaka or shepherdless pie.

It’s either spag bol or chilli for dinner tonight I’ll know when its defrosted 😏

Another beautiful autumn day here, another load of bedding dried on the line 😊

Broccoli quiche, baked beans, bread and butter for lunch. Black bean and red pepper fajitas with shredded cabbage, coriander and feta tonight 😋

Not much done today or eaten we were all shocked last night by the sudden and unexpected death of my brother. A lot of today has been spent talking to my sisters we were all due to meet up next weekend for our annual gathering. We are just relieved that it didn't happen when he was driving down from Yorkshire. Im so glad I saw him for a few days in Northumberland in august.

@Brambling - That had to be a major shock. Sending lots of hugs. Take care of yourself.

Very sorry about your brother Brambling. Life can take unwanted turns very quickly can't it?

Dry & sunny, blue sky, no rain to come through my roof. I don't think insurance would cover it, it's not damage AFAIK but maybe once the roofer gets up there I'll know more. Still waiting for roofer to "get back" to me, but I did say it's not an emergency, not like half the roof is missing or something, probably just something like a slipped tile

Lunch, defrosting a lamb burger, I'll have that in a sandwich, no buns available.

Dinner, grilled pork chop, plus salad. maybe handful of AF chips

Sorry for your loss Brambling, thinking of you and your family at this time.

It’s still nice and mild here, we’ve had the odd light shower but nothing too bad.

I picked up some deli ham and veg when I went through to tesco this morning and had a ham & tomato sandwich for lunch when I got back.

I have half a roll of puff pastry in the freezer and some of yesterdays beetroot and goats cheese to use up so I’ll do a tart for dinner tonight it should be big enough to have leftovers for lunch tomorrow as well if I add a generous helping of broccoli and sweetcorn on the side.

I had a vegan cheese and Vegemite sandwich and a yoghurt and a nectarine this morning and I just had a Quorn and veggie stir fry with some new chili crisp oil I bought.

So sorry about your brother, Brambling, must have been such a shock. Take care of yourself.

Another dry and mild day but the sun only appeared towards the end of the afternoon. Had a good walk after work 😊

LO black bean and pepper fajita mix in a flatbread with feta, coriander, lime and more of the shredded raw cabbage for lunch. One of my bargain RTC rump steaks out of the freezer tonight, with chimichurri, sweet potato wedges and salad 😋
