Thank you. I do wish you hadn’t mentioned Eccles cakes though. I used to love them.Happy birthday @DJC3
Day one of Mr C's lockdown. He's off to B&M to buy his preferred compost which is on special offer there.
Food....
Breakfast: usual omelette with carb free syrup (Mr C had cheese on toast)
Lunch: Actimel and cheese (no doubt Mr C will have a sneaky Eccles cake from t he village bakery
Dinner: IF Asda deliver it, it will be a tofu burrito with melted cheese over and a green salad (Mr C will have the same but will have some Mexican rice with it.... or chips).
I do hope she managed to find a decent selection of suitable food for you.Luckily, all my potential snacks were used up by Em before the lockdown and I didn't get a chance to get more - Neil is so disapproving of sweets and snacks that I hadn't the heart to replenish stocks when he took me shopping. He's not really domineering, although he does make quite an impression on people who tend to accept what he says (just about, mentally, the strongest man I have ever come across) - I just allow him to advise me because he is usually right. So - apart from the remains of a bar of Dairy Milk chocolate stashed away in the larder, there is nothing here to snack on - however much I wander around looking in fridge/freezer/larder to see if there is. Same for carby products. I do still have some flour and some pasta, both of which I keep for Neil's odd dietary needs (pasta is getting difficult to find now so I might have to attempt making our own) but nothing I can just pick up and eat.
The lady who volunteered to get my shopping has gone with my list and money and will come back this afternoon. The list is extensive but I did tell her that many of the things on it are options so just to get what she can. We'll see what transpires.
Breakfast/brunch (at 12) was scrambled eggs with bacon, onion and mushrooms through it. Not as filling as I might have wished, but can't have anything else now until I've made my curry this evening.
I didn't have cauliflower couscous with my aubergine last night because I forgot that there was cauliflower in the filling. Shouldn't overdo the cauliflower as I've found to my cost in the past. So the curry will have the cauli couscous with it instead. If Ms Volunteer manages to get some chicken for me, I might just make it a chicken curry with b'nut squash.
I do hope she managed to find a decent selection of suitable food for you.
A bit of trivia from Woolies email this morning, now that's a lot of Australian bums being wiped in theory.When will you be back to normal on toilet paper, wipes and other products?
Amazing as it might seem, we are still seeing almost double our normal demand for toilet paper. Just this week, that was over 20.5 million rolls. So despite much more stock coming in, we’re still not where we need to be. It is slowly improving, but please help everyone by only buying what you need.
Lots of hugs for all the stress but medals for still managing to keep food low carb and under control. ( extra hugs for Cooper)@Goonergal take care and look after yourself
@Brunneria wish my eldest sons pharmacy had your volunteers we have long queues to face during very limited opening hours plus as they don’t answer their phone one of us has to keep going and queueing to find out that yet again no his asthma preventative inhaler isn’t there yet - now ordered over two weeks ago and running very low - isn’t yet in because of a national shortage! Resorted this pm after yet another stressful experience to start looking at private pharmacies- it shouldn’t be like this....... but if his severe asthma deteriorates will be real probs.
@Annb pleased to hear about your Mrs V - think we all need one.
@DJC3 headless chocolate chicken mmm! Sounds like my sort of birthday surprise a very thoughtful friend indeed.
@ianpspurs your half a pig sounds amazing wish we lived nearer! Hope Julie improving?
@Tori71 love cheesies a pack was delivered on mother’s day to me but all cheddar ones - my favourite as I like strong cheese
@Chook hope you keep mrC in lockdown sounds a challenge and that your Asda delivery worked out well.
Difficult care worn day today but we are all well and safe. Our neighbour also is very poorly at the moment. He has MS and an infection and they are considering moving him to hospital not a good place to be at the moment. Worrying would normally give my friend and neighbour his wife a big hug but really can’t do anything like that at moment. They have carers in every day must make you even more vulnerable.
Also poor cooper youngest sons dog - my avatar - isn’t well and had emergency vet visit. Got treatment and hoping he gets better soon.
Anyway back to food topic what I ate today:
Breakfast two boiled eggs and chaffle
Lunch lc cheese scone and hm lc choc granola bar
Dinner lasagne made with chaffles as substitute pasta followed by sf jelly and cream.
haha yes i may have justified not buying one but i hesr how grest they aare and its on special and i think i should get on elol. but the funny thinJFDI already- You know it makes sense Rodney
thank you for the link will have a read cheers. I guess like most air fryers you need to have a spot for one regardless of which one is purchased.Annabelle - Not sure we have that one in UK, but I do know it gets decent reviews in a multi-national foodie group I belong to. Looking at her review from last year, there is one on here with a similar image, so worth a look?

I've been astonished by how much we love and use the AF. My OH was very sceptical when it appeared, as if by magic (), but fairly quickly caught on.
