I spent ages yesterday typing in a post only to have it vanish when I went to look at it. God Knows what happened because I don't. Maybe some button I pressed wrongly knowing me. Ah Well, perhaps today will be better.
Big thing happened since we went away was the delivery of The Wheelie Bins!!!!! One back for general rubbish and one Green for garden waste. Removal every other week..so we have to remember which week is which. Today VT has been clearing the garden to fill the green one, so now we have a leafless and clear front garden. This is what is called progress! can't see it myself. We do our share of re-cycling, bottles glass and papers etc., and don't actually generate a lot of garden waste.
Back on our healthy eating plan...since we came home we have been careful again, and we are sticking around the stone mark...again!!
Tuesday night the 6th we had a very tasty evening meal:
Tomato Quorn fillet,
Tesco Penne and vegetable pasta with garlic sauce,
Mushrooms and Asparagus with a small dollop of 1/2 fat creme fraiche.
Tonight we are having:
Sausages with gravy,
Small new potatoes baked in the oven,
Cabbage medley with apple.
I kept a record when we were away of the money we spent on food and roughly speaking we spent about $300 a week.
This included a few very good meals..2 Flatbreads and one special meal at Cedar Street Restaurant of $85!! a lot for us.
The food was quite mixed some excellent some absolutely awful. Fairly difficult to get good vegetarian food especially evening meals. I don't think we had any fresh vegetables all the time we were away. It was lovely to get home to some Quorn and veggies!
