RE: 2025 - Today's Recipe - SarrissUK - 07-02-2025

I got two Too good to go bags yesterday, which had baked goods in one, and surprises in the other.

The surprise bag had a big bottle of yoghurt, two small blueberry yoghurts (the expensive kind), a bag of salad, a small cheese tray (and just that tray full price cost more than the two bags together!), one litre of milk.
The bakery bag had two big bags full of danish pastries and a greek loaf of bread.

I also bought a tray of vegetables that cost me about 3.50 pounds, which had 8 tomatoes, one head of lettuce, one bag of kale, two peppers, a load of mushrooms, one apple and three oranges.

So, today I have eaten off that and not much else!

Yesterday was a rinse and repeat of the gammon (two big slices did us four meals) with the addition of stuffed mushrooms.
Today is breakfast and lunch much the same as the rest of the week and evening meal will be the XS three bird roast that takes 3 hrs cooking from frozen. As it's Saturday it's half price leccy between 11 and 4. We might be eating early. It'll be just like Christmas, eating turkey for days on end Smile

Cheap Margerhita pizza from Morries for lunch (couldn't resist, and I'll probably regret it tomorrow!) Back to normality with a rump steak for supper.

I haven't grasped that nettle yet,  eating earlier just whittles away the 'doing' hours. As it was yesterday I put the roast on, which cooked during cheap leccy, then lo and behold it was 5pm ready for getting dinner for 6pm. The curtain hanging process is rather slow probably because P keeps thinking up different things. Get a pull cord track, then the batten wasn't long enough for the new rail, prise batten off the wall, make good where plaster came off with it, replace batten. Boughten curtains are too long they foul the shelf over the radiator underneath the w8ndow.  Just a catalogue of jobs, when it would have been easier to just stay with what we had. Today's job is shortening curtains while P paints new batten. I wonder what can go wrong, I'm sure something will Smile

Pork chops with bramley apple, followed 15 minutes later by lamb breast with mint sauce which takes a bit longer to crisp up.

B. Homemade bread and blackcurrant jam
L. YS Prawn pasta salad (29p)
