Today it is supposed to be the dullest day of the year. I can quite believe it actually, looking out of the window it is drab and grey with not a lot moving except a few marauding cats in the garden. Everywhere is dull ow the snow has melted. Whilst it was a pain to get round it did have the advantage of making everywhere look pretty.
I was intending to go out today, but we didn't get up early enough, so VT nipped out to Sainsbury's for some veggies. We have a few left in the fridge so didn't need a lot. We could do with getting back to normal now, but the lure of a nice warm bed in the morning is too tempting.
Jane rang up this morning, she is off today, and was going to ASDA for some shopping. She said she is going to make a chilli bean pie for her and Rachel tonight. At least she has a few meal things that I taught her to do. She likes that one, and the Kedgeree using the Quorn pieces too. She is getting about in the car again now the weather is better, she hasn't been driving in the snow. VT sealed up her Christmas parcel today. We have put a few things in it for them for Christmas, intending to go over and see them, but with one thing and another we never managed it. So, we have put some stuff in a parcel. Just a tin of Celebrations, a jar of Marmite cashew nuts, and a tin of biscuits. There are also a couple of little parcels from John and Ann as well which is nice of them. VT is going to send it via the Post Office next day delivery service so she should get it on Saturday. My new shoes arrived today from Hotter, they were quick I only ordered them on Wednesday! And, I have ordered a new set of bedding from QVC today too. Well if you can't go out shopping, order online!
Didn't get round to doing yesterday's blog, but we did our usual things. The crosswords were quite easy yesterday,and we finished them fairly quickly. Last night we had a Dr Otker pizza,and a nice small salad to go with. Just enough actually, I think sometimes we had too big salads, so we have cut down quite a lot really. Weighed myself this morning, and I have put a couple of pounds back on, not surprising actually, since
I had lost a lot of weight through not eating when I was ill. The Horlicks and digestive biscuit diet works very well.
VT was reading an article yesterday which said that the sales of things like chocolate drinks and Horlicks has risen, and ready meals, and puddings like apple crumbles and sticky toffee puddings. There was a headline in a paper a copuple of weeks ago which said.."What do we want? Stodge..When do we want it? Now" Too true, it is all comfort food.
We haven't got a lot left now, just half odf a rice pudding in the freezer.
Tonight we are having:
Quorn escalopes,
Hasselback potatoes,
Broccoli and Cauliflower and white sauce. Mushrooms, maybe.
