Who wouldn’t love a chip butty on a Saturday evening?

Oh inod - I've given the wrong impression, and there was a veggie burger in the bap, and some oven chips on the side.  But now I'm craving a chip butty..... on thick white sliced with lashings of marg to melt into the bread from the hot chips......... 🥰🤣

Ooh, I love a chip butty 😍 Sometimes we take Mr C Snr to the seaside for fish and chips, and he forgets i don't each fish and there's much consternation when I'm sat there just eating a chip butty, but really, I am always extremely pleased to be having a chip butty for me dinner 😁

shhhhh - let's not discuss chip butties or I won't be able to get OH to eat dinner!  Nothing more he loves/craves more than hot chips in a white bap with a generous slather of 'butter' to hold it all together!

It always amazes me how little butter my DS puts on chip & crisp butties.  As for the very low fat burgers we have once in a blue moon, well they don't require any at all.  Badly brought up obviously.  On top of that recently discovered his cholesterol is bad & mine is just fine.

Oooh … a salt and vinegar crisp butty with lashings of real butter …

<must stop thinking about such things>

….

Delicious 🤤 😋

I wish I hadn't read any of that.  I love cheap white bread with real butter and chips or S&V crisps, but that chorleywood process bread is the most painful trigger for my IBS.  I am busy telling myself it isn't worth it.

Too right redo - don't make yourself ill, it really isn't worth it.  

KajiKita - salt and vinegar crisps 🤢 I used to eat them when I was little, but I don't know, something changed, and I cannot even bear the smell of them now - never mind eat one.  

Anyhoo, we'd better stop with the chip butty talk, we for sure don't want rt's OH skipping his tea 😁

We did have soup for lunch.  I used the leftover soup from yesterday and just bulked it up with some hm tommie sauce that I made in the PrC for lentil bolognese (or it may morph into black bean chilli), for tomorrow night's tea.  There was a bowl of soup each, and I used the 3 leftover wholemeal baps to make a cheese sanger to go with.  We also had a packet of crisps - ready salted or cheese & onion - the only 2 flavours allowed in the house these days 😉 

All the washing is out and drying nicely in the breeze.  

We're going to attempt a little reading homework, to take the pressure off after school this week as we've a dentist appt to crowbar in, and you don't need homework on top of going across town in rush-hour for a cursory glance and a 'see you in 6 months time'.   However, LG is currently taking an inordinate amount of time to select a book........

No S&V????? How is that even possible - it's the only flavour I'll eat this side of the pond!  Nothing has the kick of all-dressed ruffles or our ketchup flavour.  Here in our house it's the C&O that I've banned - and OH is easy to please, plain ready salted - won't touch the flavoured kind of any sort if he can help it!

Good Evening MFW'rs

Tea has been munched.  It was provided by the freezer - I made a 'sort of' dirty rice, using a punnet of cooked brown rice and a punnet of cooked basmati which i defrosted, and heated up.  I then ran a punnet of Mung Bean curry through these (mixed together in a bowl) and added some chopped coriander.  I then defrosted 2 small pots of dhal - 1 carrot and one sweet potato.  I made omlettes for us all, using the last of the eggs that were (notionally) BB today and some from the new carton.  So plated up it was curry 'dirty rice', topped with a 'dhal duo' and then the omlette over-arched the lot....... 😉 You will note I'm using all the words to make this sound far more interesting than 'leftovers' 😆

We ate it off trays as the F1 is on, and DH is enjoying watching it.  

Might do an ice-cream cone for pud, as we've still got some of the cones left, and a little bit of vanilla flavour ice-cream.  I don't want to risk the cones going soggy.  

The washing came in dry - I'm so pleased, that the 'early start' paid off, having lost yesterday as a laundry day.  

Haven't spent any money today.  Made food for everyone and some tommie sauce for tomorrow's tea, plus 2 pots of pizza topping, and a small tub of tommie sauce (useful for small portions of pasta, or to make some dirty rice), for the freezer.  

Can't think of anything else MSE, so I'll bow out.

Ta for swinging by. Appreciated.  Greying X
