but it is clouding over now, looks like a blatter is coming our way.
I have been working on our budget for the next 12 months, not a lot of cash swilling around, cost of food has gone up, the car is reasonably full of fuel but the car will get £30 in, once that has run out it will be tough.
Managed to burn an onion I was cooking for a 500g container of mince, it is cooked just going slowly for some of the liquid to reduce, hopefully we will get 3 suppers from it, mince and tatties, shepherds pie and possibly Spag bol. I am going through the small freezer we have and seeing what there is. I have two small chicken breasts which I will do with apricots one night, also picked up a coouple of lamb leg steaks, will do them in the pressure cooker and possibly do a Lancashire hot pot with some of it. I am also going to have to sort out some desserts for DB. Enough beef for a couple of stews and I also picked up a piece of pork reduced. I have an unsmoked gammon joint to cook as well.
DB has been watching the disabled olympics on TV. He is asleep just now.
Off to check the mince and make a cup of tea.
Mince and dough balls tonight with mash, carrot and calebrease. No dessert.
Prices for all sorts of things besides food and gasoline are rising horribly here, too. Heaven help us all.
ReplyDeleteYour menus always sound so delicious and hope DB enjoys having such a good cook in house!
Two hot days here, today 31*C and tomorrow 31.5*C and then we cook off a tad, including two nights below freezing. Hope the tiny leaves on trees and shrubs aren't harmed.
Yesterday I finished 4 little quilted hearts and took one to the library.
Hugs!
