Today's proposed menu - have had breakfast and main meal is cooking so 2 elements in place. We'll call the mains : So why go to the trouble of buying and moving an IP if you won't use it ? Matthew Fort eat yer heart out it is authentic clownshoe old git cooking. Breakfast: Sweetened TWAM - 3 x 700 mls ; Dockey: Cheddar cheese: L: h/b egg and avocado salad and maybe some Sainsburys 85% Choc; Aft: Tea; Meal: Ox cheek stew/casserole/melange; some kind of leafy green veggies; Vegges likely to be cabbage . Melange has onion, carrot, swede, mushroom, celery, 300 mls oxo, tomato puree, star anise and smoked paprika . Saute meat (***) throw veggies add liquid spice/aromatics/ pretentious nonsense, stir then hit slow cook, keep warm and low expectations buttons. Vit C powder drink for me and lots of fruit, tea and coffee for Julie so no one starves. Hope y'all protect our NHS by protecting yourselves. Tomorrow's fun will be roasting a duck!
@shelley262 thanks for the wishes for Julie - basically she just seems sleepy. Hope Cooper and your son stay/ get well and hug for the stress. @Goonergal healing and full recovery not the same thing - take it easy.
Thank you @Ann B. Hardly impressive just buy good equipment and ingredients, stay awake when Heston is on TV (even if pretending not to listen or watch), then press buttons. I hope you and your family are keeping as well as possible and as nourished as possible. Lucky? I have other ideas about who or what directs my life but people's mileage varies on that. We're faaambly now anyhowFor someone who claims not to cook, that sounds pretty impressive. Good for you. Julie sounds to be well cared for as well. You are both lucky in each other. Sleepy sounds pretty normal for latter stages of many of these viral things, as does slow complete recovery (therefore not pushing oneself is a good idea @Goonergal and everyone else who is still feeling the effects of illness). Be good to yourselves.
Our local Farm Shop has been promoted to Premier for the vast stocks of tinned tomatoes and toilet rolls they've managed to get in AND still sensibly limiting customers to 1 Pack of toilet rolls and 1 x 4 tinned tomatoes.Sounds good. Rotisserie is a huge bonus and a big reason we went for that one. Maybe a link to the cheaper model would be an added bonus. We can't keep all the good toys to ourselves. Hoarding of loo rolls is local league level. Air fryer hoarding is Champions League level.

Trotters are brilliant for a gelatinous stock.1/2 pig update. Was indeed a very substantial pig. Pack included 2 trotters and half the liver. Some amazing joints and huge number of chops - I'm not a fan of chops but in these times just getting hold of food when you can't/shouldn't leave home is a bonus. Belly pork looks amazing and when we tried their's that was fantastic. Also came with a box of veg. Do I ask for half a lamb next? - less keen on lamb in general but their's is good.
Headless Heather - that made me laugh.@Annb so glad Mrs V turned up trumps. What a relief for you and Neil.
@Brunneria I volunteered for prescription delivering here. We were told to either post through the letterbox or if too large, put on doorstep knock on the door and take 3 paces back to wait for the door to open.
Today’s food black coffee this morning plus one with cream to try to lift my mood ( didn’t work as I don’t seem to enjoy it with cream anymore - that alone cheered me a bit!)
Lunch was leftover cream of spinach soup.
Dinner https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/pork-loin-roast-with-blue-cheese-sprouts another odd sounding recipe that turned out to be a winner.
A lovely surprise sent by a friend today- a Montezumas 100% black ‘Heather Hen’ Easter egg complete with peanut butter eggs. Yay! My intention to keep it til Easter lasted 4 hrs and poor Heather is now headless.

I was aware of the inhaler issue. I never know which are which but our chemist did a double issue for my son. They panicked because they couldn't find the blue ones but turned out someone had put them in the fridge with the pinks. They did say the blues were becoming a problem.@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.
That did occur to me. Trotters Independent Gelatinous Gravy?Rodney, Del Boy, Granddad or Uncle Albert?Did I ever tell you about the time I sunk off .... Thanks though. Quite upset there wasn't an ear and half a tail. Refund maybe? - no @Tipetoo will tell me they were in the sausages.
Gravy has been the bain of lc hot food for me all along - big reason I eat so much salad and until lately shied away from meat. So far the only gravy I have liked throughout this farce has been him https://metro.co.uk/2007/03/30/gravy-goes-for-global-audience-230511/That did occur to me. Trotters Independent Gelatinous Gravy?
