Woman.

Dear reader,

I noticed my last post " Hot sex tips" has had a huge reader count. Well who knew?

Sometimes amongst the cakes, the beautiful pictures of wholesome food, the knitting, patch working and crafting I just want to write something saucy!

Oh I like the cooking, the saving money, the wood fire but sometimes, just sometimes......................
I want to get acquainted with a bottle of vodka, diet coke and some ice.


I read something, I can't recall where and it was this;

A class of students were asked to punctuate the following.

A woman without her man is nothing

The boys wrote: "A woman, without her man, is nothing." 

But the girls wrote:  "A woman: without her, man is nothing."

I kinda liked that.

No Palm Oil please

Now I got you attention readers, I would be delighted if you could click the link to see why we shouldn't buy stuff with Palm Oil in it. It's ok, no nasty pictures.

Shirley's chip and egg

Dear reader,

While trying to think of  cheap meals that are quick and tasty I recalled Shirley Valentine.

When asked by her husband what was for tea she said "chips and egg." Or was it egg and chips?

As you know we both work very long hours with, sometimes an hours commute each way. I need to have something quick to cook for dinner.

Tonight I scoured the fridge and found a packet of ham £5 from Asda for a big pack, some eggs as we eat a lot of them and I always have a bag of frozen chips or wedges. I am not so keen on chips but BM likes them.

Tonight was ham, egg and chips. I reckon about £1.50 a head and really filling.

We eat eggs loads of ways, scrambled with the cheapest smoked salmon I can find, poached on toast and I like a couple of soft boiled with soldiers.

Tomorrow is jacket potatoes with beans and cheese.

I wonder if there are any more meals that I can think of  that are mentioned in films. Let me know.

Is there more than sarnies?

Dear reader,

I hope you are well. I cannot believe the change in weather. Rain and cold here in Bucks. So much so that the clothes won't dry and I'm feeling the need for warm food rather than the salads and cold meats we have been used to.

I actually used the slow cooker today for a beef stew. I found some diced stewing steak and put it in with a large carrot and a diced onion. There was an offer on the packets you so a cheap meal served with new potatoes, kale and runner beans. Enough for lunch tomorrow for one of us to take to work too.
We are aiming to cut down on bread and are a little bored of taking sandwiches to work. Is there more than sarnies?

I always seems to struggle taking healthy food to work and I am often out of the door by 0600 am so don't want to be faffing around making stuff.

I spent yesterday evening batch cooking and using lots of veg to stretch the meat. I made a chicken chasseur using two chicken breasts and bulked it out with onions, mushrooms and diced new potatoes. That made two big meals. I then used one chicken breast to make a green Thai curry, again onions and mushroom and boiled some dried noodles to serve with. Three lunches to take to work. I also made a ragu from a packet of reduced mince, using onions, mushrooms and tinned tomatoes. I added a splash of chill sauce and served mixed into pasta shells-three lunches.

I am definately going to try to keep topping up these lunch meals by bulk cooking and freezing in Tupperware.

Who else takes lunches to work? Do you take more than sarnies?

Much love. X
