Vegetarianism and Different Viewpoints...

We have been watching episodes of Come Dine With Me on Channel 4 this week, and it is set in Liverpool. They are repeats, but we had forgotten them, and since it was set in our home area we watched them again,
There is a contestant on called Ray Parry who is a vegetarian, with a very "gobby" mouth for want of a better word. He is setting the cause of vegetarianism back about thirty years. He insists on pushing his ideas onto everyone, refuses to take the food till the host has explained in detail what is in it, and how it is made. I hate people like that, we expect a certain amount of questioning when out to dinner..much along the lines of "What do you have for Christmas?" I usually say..nothing with a face, but I would never dream of inflicting my food choices on anyone. He is getting everyones back up and is so unpopular I think most of them would like to thump him.Including us!
VT ws going through our vouchers last night while tidying up, and found a Tesco one for £5.50..so off we went this morning to ohe one in Freshfield. Hate going there now, we almost never go to Tesco any more, just don't like their ethos and the Tescopoly thing. Having said that it was very busy, so someone must like them! There were a few things we needed, I wanted some flowers for the middle room, and some ice-cream for the freezer. They actually had an offer on Green and Blacks Vanilla for £1.99 so we got that. Anyway we came out having spent £36!!! so they got our money in the end. Bought a lot of Quorn things three for £5 which isn't bad.
Still tidying up, the accumulated clutter of 36 years of marriage, and a husband who hates throwing things away! He has what I call flat surfaceitis, that is, if there is a flat surface anywhere he will put things on it!!!
But who cares..he is a lovely man.
He is practically living in the recycling centre with all the paper and plastic we are recycling these days.
Tonight we are having:
Quorn fillet in a jar of M&S sauce with mushrooms, and a
Stir fry.
