    It's difficult to judge how long journeys will take at the moment denise. Around here, 2/3 mile journeys which can take half an hour in peak time can be just a few minutes. It's brilliant, long may it last. :smiley: 

    Meal plan and shop day today. I've got very little meat left in the freezer so will definitely need to buy some. I'm missing the YS bits and pieces I could get from Sainsbury's. I have some HM ready meals and fish though so not too expensive a week. 

    Today's EE plan-
    B- NAS Ribena (F), HEB toast, HEA milk, fried eggs and bacon (P)
    L- sardines (P) and pickles (S)
    D- Fake KFC (P), SW chips (F), tomato, mushrooms, asparagus, sugar snaps (S)
    Syns- HP sauce 1, weekend wine :smiley:

    Thanks for the garlic bread recipe Bubbs. I rarely go to Sainsbobs but might pop in next time I’m passing (queue dependent) 
    I also never thought of using cheese triangles for sauce. I need to up my game!
    TOTM #2 is still with me like a vengeance. So fed up! No running yet but might try a short route tomorrow morning. I need to get my gait/shoes checked but all local shops for this are currently closed  :/
    Food today:
    B - 2 weetabix and skimmed milk (HEA/HEB)
    L - fry up - yummy

    D - slimwell curry and rice. 
    Snacks - satsumas, banana, apple
    Will have a rum n coke tonight as have the syns. 
    I have the excitement of a haircut tomorrow whoohoo!
    Have a good day all.

    Same here. Now it's a regular favourite, I'm going to make up extra of the mixture and put it in a jar so I don't have to make fresh every week. I'm getting low on the 'Smash'  too so I'll have to get some of that. It was one of the things Asda didn't have last week (or rather they only had the most expensive brand). 

    I bought spring onions, plums, red peppers and they had Jersey Royals in our shop on Super 6 too. 

    And I got Aldi Light cheese triangles (6 for HEA) as I'm going to try the garlic mushrooms this week. About how much water do you put to mushrooms bubbs? Did you make the recipe up?

    bubbs can I ask how much stock you use in your cauliflower cheese sauce?  I've made some for the fish pie tonight but think I probably used too much stock as it's a bit thinner than I'd like.  I did reboil it after I'd blended it to try to thicken it up a bit for it wasn't particularly successful!  When I put the mash on top it didn't sit there very well.  Just hope the fish pie tastes ok once it's cooked!

    It's KFC for us tomorrow night!

    I dont use any stock unless it's too thick then add a drop, i just blitz the cauli with laughing cow light , mustard powder and seasoning

    Thanks bubbs.  No wonder my sauce was so thin!  Will just cook and drain the veg next time and blitz!

    I always save the stock incase you need it, i lift the cauli out with a slotted spoon , then if i don't need it pour it away
