Same menu again for me Porridge, banana on toast and beef stew, I made a load but it was a bit sort on meat today so have bunged in some left over pork and mince, its very tasty. good job as think I will be eating it all week. Also got up at 3am and ate a can of smart price rice putting. Well they do say feed a cold don't they?. Ohhh and a choc ice,
And wouldn't you just know the week I don't feel up to it the garden has gone into overdrive, loads of rhubarb, potatoes and tomatoes to be picked. Have put the rhubarb on our local Share and swop fb page if anyone wants to come and pick it. Normally my daughter is the rhubarb fiend but shes away touring America for a month.Slimming World at target0 -

THAT's what my life needs. I'd bought/eaten fishcakes about 4-5 months ago and loved them and had intended on buying more, but had completely forgotten/not got round to it.
Last lot I bought was an Iceland £1 1Kg bag of ~10-12 of them ....I'd meant to see if L1dl/4ldi did the same ... or what Sainsbobs did... but then I moved onto burgers and "got stuck".
I need to write a list to buy next time I go out: fishcakes, fish fingers, burgers .... all healthy stuff
Seems my fishcakes may have started another set of ideas going. Be warned, mine were Lidl ones, they are very thick, SG My intention was to make a sort of fishcake burger, but never found any buns, at least not at a price I was willing to pay, but the Lidl ones are so thick it would be a real gobful with toms etc in there as well, Ed Milli and his bacon sarnie would seem demure beside that
Woke up to the neighbours c0 ckerel crowing, he must be a new one or just feeling chirpy this morning, not heard him before. It was time to get up anyway
No breakfast, and no ideas for dinner. Into Lild on way to volunteering, spotted YS pack of 7 back bacon rashers. Solved meals problem for the day
Lunch was bacon, lettuce & tom sarnie, 2 rashers gone
Dinner will be bacon, eggs, chips, beans probably, and mushrooms grilled in the bacon fat. 3 more rashers gone there
2 rashers left for tomorrow lunchEight out of ten owners who expressed a preference said their cats preferred other peoples gardens0 -

The stew sounds nice, I think a stew is always better the next day and is one of the meals that I can happily eat for a few days running without getting bored of it.
I hope that you are feeling a little bit better today. It is a shame that a lot of produce is ready now when you are not well.0 -

Thank you for the warning I shall be prepared for an undemure gobful. Luckily for me I have a fair sized gob :rotfl::rotfl:0 -

It's been on my list to get too ... for about 7-10 days since I found out... only it's on my mental list, not a written one, so I forget once I get in the shop with its bright lights and moving people ...
Maybe I should go now, while I remember.... and get some. That'd be a plan.
I've had chocolates and crisps for tea.... I could have rice pudding for a snack later with jam.
I've never understood why people buy pricey cold Muller Rice, when they could simply buy bigger/cheaper cans! I guess that's marketing for you ... put 1/5th of a tin in a pot, charge 4x the price, give it a snazzy name .... fools suckered in
Here's the DM's article on what the "public on the street" thought in taste tests:

I'm still running down my freezer in advance of next week's trip up the canal (won't have the right flavour of leccy to run it, so it needs to be emptied). Thankfully, I think I am more in the parish of "enough food to last 10 days", and I can easily rustle up hungry neighbours to help.
I think today will be the first day in the best part of a week when I'll have had three meals - or, perhaps put better, have eaten on three occasions throughout the day.
Just not been in the mood for food. Generally feeling a bit "meh" towards life in general, coupled with one of those 3 day headaches that the pills don't touch. Both cats have been indolent for the last few days too; no spontaneous baths, just lots of head rubs and snoozing on my bed.
Today - toast for breakfast; ham, hummus, alfalfa sprout sarnie for lunch and remnants of gammon casserole thing from the freezer for supper.0
