Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Candy- hope all is well with zeus. :grouphug:

I was late getting up today ,so I've had toast with cheese spread.
Yesterday I had the lo biriani for lunch. Then put potatoes onion and peppers in the slow cooker with garlic,chilli flakes, and fajita seasoning, I added the lo bits of pasta sauce and Spanish chicken sauce as the liquid. That made enough for tea with a gfree chicken breaded chicken fillet.
With 2 portions in the freezer.
I took the rest of the tiny allium out of my front bed near the door, and planted some spring bulbs I got reduced. They're a couple of weeks late going in but hopefully get something from them ,if not this year next.

I've taken a salmon fillet out for tea and having potatoes, cauli and sprouts with cheese sauce. The latter 2 veg are from well before Xmas so need using.!!:p

Glad you are feeling a little better Farway.

I was making my husband some veggie sausage rolls to take for work and I decided to have some for my brunch.

I also put all the veg from the fridge into a soup as I'm getting more shopping delivered today. I will have that as a late lunch.

I was going to go out today but decided on a day indoors and just got into my pyjamas after my bath.:p

Last night I lined up ingredients and got the SC out ... so I didn't forget in the morning and it saved me faffing about getting to that stage

Did you know it takes 25 minutes to chop 2 onions, 2 chillies and open one tin of beans? I'm soooo slow. OK, I also browned the mince, which took 5 minutes.

Into the pot went: mixed beans, 500g 5% beef mince, 2 onions, chilli powder, 2 green chillies, salt/pepper, big squirt of ketchup, bit of water, then I decided to additionally add a tin of baked beans. It was all on the go by 7.45,

MIGHT .... make garlic bread, or cheesy garlic bread, to go with that later ... or it might just be baguette ... or just rice.... I can never tell until 5 minutes before it's serving time.

Hi all.Thanks for the wishes for Zeus. The bleeding's stopped n he can come home later today, but is still under investigation n they've taken loads of bloods from him Because he has to be kept safe n quiet, i'm having to kennel Bon to keep him still afterwards.What a nightmare:(

Glad Zeus is coming home CG it's awful as they can't tell you when it hurts.


I seem to have caught Faraway's lurgy and have a sore throat, headache, cough and scratchy eyes


Exam this morning and home now and am going to get into bed and do my last minute revision for the Criminal Law exams that are Thursday and Friday.


No food as I feel too grim.

Are you doing the Solicitors' Finals, that gets you that bit of "Enter the Supreme Court" bit of paper? That then means you can job-hunt for 2 years' Articles?

Farway

Well that's two of us with salmon fillet for dinner, I think I'd prefer Wort's style, but CBA so mine'll be with a bit of salad

All in pairs today, sorry about the lurgy SG, not nice at all, and with your exams due

I've even shared the rat around:D

Being stuck in reminds me just how poo daytime TV is.I've got some books but can't concentrate on them between coughing & blowing shonk

Just remembered I have a chunk of fruit cake LO from XCFO, that could vanish later this evening

I used to have the telly running in the background "for company", but it broke... about 6 months ago I bought a new PC that's much faster than my cheap 2006 PC ... and I could finally watch telly online without too much buffering! I now use the PC to watch telly stuff.... I tend to skim through to see what's been on, or remember something I like and search for it, then watch many episodes. Last night I was watching some old Tales of the Unexpected on YouTube too!

Good evening everyone,
Great news that Zeus is well enough to come home CG, shame Bonnie has to be elsewhere but hopefully with lots of quiet and tlc he'll recover quickly. <<hug>>
Aw SG hope the lurgy lessens and you feel better quickly <<hug>>
Farway glad your lurgy is waning, mine is still hanging on in there but going by the spluttering in the Drs waiting room this morning I've got off lightly:).
SC chilli sounds grand PN hope it tasted good:).
It's back to being windy here and it's a right Northerly so baltic, a forerunner for the forecasted cold spell coming later this week. I was glad of my soup at lunch time as I was in and out replenishing the indoor log pile, I should have enough to keep me toasty for a good few days indoors now. I've two stacks one on either side of my patio doors which I'm using in rotation. They're not massive but each holds enough for a few days so more than enough if there's a cold spell to keep me going:).
Pasta & veg "fling together" for dinner in a bit, it will no doubt look like a car crash but hopefully will taste good:).
