WHAT DID WE HAVE FOR TEA?

They look good Kev! I'm sure I could manage a bit of pastry but operate a total ban as long experience teaches me that if I allow myself one treat otheres follow and before I know what's happening I am in trouble again!
I had chicken and veggies four times, I am finding I need a second breakfast with these upset hours. I cooked savoury cabbage and onion to extend my veggies.

I only cooked a small batch, the rest are in the freezer. A longer cooking time and they can be cooked direct from frozen.

Today I will be making veg soup. We dropped into Aldi yesterday and they are selling bags of carrots, parsnips, 2kg of potatoes and individual swedes all at 5p each. A carb loaded soup unfortunately but a bit more walking and we soon burn it off
My neighbour is going to get some for her horse

I think I heard a radio report yesterday about carrots being sold as a loss leader....
I had chicken and veggies X three and enjoyed them. I am so lucky in that I actually like the taste and texture of veggies.....

Friends round for cocktails and nibbles at teatime today. I have pigs in blankets and a batch of sausage rolls for hot food, a charcuterie plate, cheese and crackers and a selection of bottles for mixing cocktails.

I might treat myself to a bottle of cider for Xmas. I'm just about teetotal now, I don't know how it happened just crept up on me..... Probably as well with my favourite single malt selling at almost £50 a bottle!
Yesterday I had chicken and veggies X three and when I had a mid morning craving I silenced it with a five minute pick at my chicken carcass!
