Whilst I hate to repeat myself (after posting in the 'What's for dinner' thread...I've just CFO
Aubergine, broccoli, carrot, green pepper, mushrooms, onion, garlic and chilli in a spicy HM tomato sauce...to be served with flatbreads
That's gotta be 7/10 added to my melon makes it 8/10....I mustn't gloat :p
Well I had to make up for yesterdays blow out somehow
Hey buddies
Back home after the Fireman Sam adventures.
Had a few nice hotel meals cooked for me including a lovely kofta and pitta last night and a very sticky toffee pudding.
home for one night then back away again tomorrow :eek: so its back to me cooking tonight for a change tonight It will definitely be something very very simple ...I'm thinking a jacket spud and cheese maybe.
Just to vote in the poll........I think tinned tomatoes are disgusting little animals and in fact if I could send tomatoes as a whole to room 101 I would :rotfl: I like ketchup though
Good to see all this healthy stuff being eaten .......I will be honest I have no idea how some of you physically eat that much food in a day I really don't you must be stuffed by the night. Anyway I ate 2 apples today so I am pleased with that :cool:
Early night in my own bed for me then up to head off on the road again0 -

Glad you all went well in the end Ketchup could be on my Room 101 list - abhor it as a "sauce" but do use it as an "ingredient" IFYSWIM:D0 -
Evening everyone
What's all this about "flinging folk out" - we have manners on here thank you very much
Quite right...all welcome here even if you were only single for a week back in primary school
I was always single...they all preferred my best friend :rotfl:PasturesNew wrote: »I've finally snapped....I've seen this here (for the first time ever) and just didn't ask !!!!!! it is ...but now I have to ask:

Apologies...laziness on my behalf when I first abbreviated to CFO (Cooking For One)...typing was never my strong point

Cooking for one .........:)
Oh really? What an odd tangent to take ... when did we start talking about that then?
*hides with embarrassment* .... should've spotted that.

I was fully trained and got the "fastest" award in a 2 year full-time course about 30 years ago ...and then went on to do that as my job ... and then even taught the subject.
So, I kind of do OK
I'm completely in the dark here, no lights on - and the keyboard's all rubbed off I'm also lying on my side and not even looking at the keyboard, in fact I am always watching the telly at the same time as typing.0 -

Evening Nelski, glad you survived your early morning alarm call
How nice to be cooked for. I know living out of hotel rooms isn't always all it's cracked up to be..for example, when you really just want a nice cuppa and a slice of toast at 10pm at night, but good for a change. No cooking, washing up, cleaning the bathroom or vacuuming required.
Always good to return to the simple stuff and your own bed
Safe travels tomorrow'I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought

Even though I was booked into dives any expenses (which you had to pay out up front yourself before you could claim it back) were never enough to include eating at any hotel.
I got fed up buying ready made sandwiches so I used to take a plate, knife and fork with me and buy baguette/cheese/hummus/crisps/salad and other snack type stuff from the SM and had it in my room. Also, if a kettle was available I had a stash of teabags, coffee and a pint of milk ...Essential items no matter where you are imo'I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought

Once I had one night away in London. I had to be in two different places, so I travelled light. I figured nobody on Day 1 would see me on Day 2 as I was at some exhibition (where nobody at all knew me).... so all I took in my handbag was: pair of knickers, underarm deodorant, toothbrush/toothpaste - and I wore the same dress/tights/bra two days running0 -

thank you karcher ....hotel living has its strange side but over the years I have learned to have plenty of supplies in my car Wine is far too expensive by the glass so there is always a bag of that and a spare in the boot Also a zip loc bag of tea sugars coffees etc biscuits maybe whatever fancy really its always better to do that other than order from the hotelPasturesNew wrote: »Jammy.

Gaddabout.
I've never got on with actual real fried tomatoes - they always seemed gross to me. Also, tomatoes these days don't really taste of anything (neither do most veg though). Stuff like that was definitely better in the 60/70s when my parents were growing it.
It's a hard job, but somebody's got to do it
Thats no way to hotel live PN ...I may moan a bit (well a lot when alarms go off lol ) but i am actually really lucky and stay in some very nice hotels that I can eat well most times Always nice to be home though eh so after my escapade tomorrow I am back for a few days :D0
