Chicken and veggies X three. I shall cook some savoury mince today just for fun..... (Couldn't do it next week as it can cause a creatinine spike in the blood test I am down for on Feb 10th and that can be mistaken for a bad sign for kidney health.)

Chicken and veggies for breakfast Dinner was the same but with a spoonful of the mince I was cooking, tea was straight chicken and veggies again.

Barlick Raj with friends for tea tonight. This morning's coffee was accompanied by a white chocolate mouse, far too sweet but there was only one

We went last night Kev, a voucher birthday present for my last birthday from a couple of our trustees. Excellent as usual and I have relayed that in my review. Very busy last night, enjoy!

I had chicken and veggies for breakfast and was going to have the same for dinner and tea but on a trip to the Co-op for some garlic I saw a tray of seven Spicy battered chicken drumsticks that were cheap as they had reached their sell by date and bought them. Best not to let them hang about so I fired up the oven and cooked them for dinner. Nice change and I enjoyed them. Then chicken and veggies for tea.

I cheated for breakfast yesterday. When I went to the Co-op the day before I got two panini rolls for 73p, they had reached their sell by date. I had them for breakfast slit into pockets and filled with savoury mince and veggies. Very tasty but of course illegal! Normal chicken and veggies for dinner and tea.....

Chicken and veggies X three for breakfast, dinner and tea. This will last the week out. No need for bad weather shopping!

Guess what, chicken and veggies X three and I never went out. I see Ian came to the same conclusion, well done for using common sense!

Chicken and veggies X three and a dad nap at dinner time!

Chicken and veggies for breakfast, a very small amount of roast ham hock and peas for dinner and two oven bottoms filled with chopped roast ham hock for tea.....

I made a trifle, sugar free jelly, sponge fingers (left over from the tiramisu), sugar free custard, whipped cream and grated (and lumps) of 85% cocoa solids chocolate. It's almost healthy

Pease pudding and faggots for tea, all done in the microwave. I would have taken another pic in focus but it was too late, I'd eaten it

I didn't know you could get faggots in this neck of the woods Kev. I have the dried peas to make the pease pudding.....
I had chicken and veggies X two. I missed at dinnertime because I had an oven bottom cake with the breakfast pot and so never got hungry again in time.

I got them from the freezer in Sainsbury

Went to the pub

Looks good enough to eat Kev....
I had meat and veggies X three for breakfast dinner and tea. I roasted my chicken in the morning, shopped for veggies at Aldi with Ian in the afternoon and will cook veggies this morning after I have had my sleep.

Breakfast was almost the last of last weeks cooking of chicken and veggies. I missed dinner apart from nibbling on veggies as I cooked them. I had one serving left from last week and that was my tea. Today I shall start on a new batch.

Chicken and veggies are coming on song. X three as usual.

No meat order this week because I can't eat a chicken a week, I have to take a week off occasionally!

Chicken and veggies X three as usual. Boring for some I know but there is a lot to be said for three small hot meals a day!

I found some half price hot and spicy chicken breasts in batter in the Co-op and had them for dinner. Disappointing! Breakfast and tea was chicken and veggies.

Chicken and veggies for breakfast and tea. Dinner was a forbidden salad butty from Mandy's!

After a long time watching various Youtube cooks, I've just bought one of these Russell Hobbs mini oven

Second hand (of course) from a local on Gumtree for £30. Said to be little used, and that's probably true. I found the controls difficult to read so printed out the 20 page handbook. I then ignored it, and realised that - in practice - the top dial controls temperature, and the middle dial is for time. The bottom dial is not needed and best ignored. Just use common sense and experiment. I've drawn a diagram to show the rough values of the position of the dials. The rest is just marketing.

I just used it for the first time - a basic margherita pizza from the Aldi chilled cabinet (£1.39) with extra toppings (black olives a la Grecque, onion, more cheese, and dried sage), from the store cupboard. Cooked lovely in just ten minutes at a (guessed) 200 degrees.

Here's a tip - it makes no noise, but don't try touching the heating element lightly to see if it works - it does - and they get very hot almost instantly! No harm done luckily

This one is really a bit too small, and the one I really wanted is the Hysapientia which looks like the Rolls Royce of the game. The Russell Hobbs though, will do for a while and home made lasagne will be back of the menu.
