Bush Fires..

Terrible bush fires in Australia we seee on the news.They are in Melbourne, so over the other side of the country to where John and Ann live in Perth, and they look devastating on the news pictures. 170 people dead so far and many unaccounted for. Quite a few have died in cars trying to escape, and countless animals have perished. They have been having temperatures of 46 degrees, and droughts for the last ten years so it is all tinder dry. Strong winds and lightening strikes don't help. Meanwhile we moan about a bit of traffic hold up because of the snow. I know which I would rather have.
We took my money to Crosby this morning to get our weekly vegetables.Had a bit of a look in Farmfoods but they didn't have any reasonable Quorn today. Not to worry though the freezer is full of it. Got some nice veggies from Sainsbury's, carrots, butternut squash and sweet potato, cavbbage and leek etc., enough for the week anyway. I don't plan the meals for the week, but look to see what there is in the veg rack and base my menu round that on the whole.
Tonight we are having:Sage and Onion fillets,
Bread sauce, cranberry sauce,
Little baked potatoes 8oz between us,
Carrots and Broccoli.
