New paintings and regular art updates.
Thoughts go astray sometimes, especially as you get older, but I’ve never said “I’ll have a trouser leg for tea”? before….
I was deciding what to have for my evening meal and thought chicken leg with rice and a tomato pasta sauce would be simple and tasty…
I did chuckle as I said it to myself, I immediately realised that I had uttered the wrong phrase, I’m glad I did, I’m not completely gaga yet!
Tomorrow night I might have mice pudding…… Haha!
I don’t often photograph my food and this would never be published in a magazine, but it was tasty…this was my tea a few days ago.
I’ve started eating baked sweet potatoes as they have less carbohydrates than normal potatoes. I added a bit of cheese, some baked beans and shredded iceberg lettuce.
It was messy and tasty. Now I’m hungry.
Stewing some apples for tea. There red one has red flesh like a beetroot! Just got to mix up some custard.
I put a five man frame tent up once with my hubby. We’d borrowed it because ours was worn out. It was only when we had finished putting it up that we realised the curtains were on the outside! It took another hour to redo it. The thing was huge with complicated bedrooms to hang from the internal frame. It had taken an effort to get in the boot of the car it was so heavy.
We were on holiday for a week at Red wharf Bay in Anglesey, hubby also managed to back the car over my best saucepan, which was annoying because we only had a couple of small pots to cook in until we could buy a replacement. I think we went to the local pub down by the bay and had delicious fish and chips and a pint of beer for tea. (So there was an upside after a frustrating afternoon).
Tea tonight
Some mixed veg and rice with sausages.
I had some courgette, onion and red cabbage to cook so I added in a handful of rice into a pan of boiling water. I let that simmer while the sausages cooked in my air fryer. I knew that red cabbage releases colour into the water but I wasn’t quite expecting purple/blue to dye the rice.
It was a little bland but I added some brown sauce to liven things up a bit! Tasty
I wish I could do something about my new neighbour but I don’t want to speak to him. He’s there now, I think he does a bit of hammering to let me know he’s in. I thought my house was on fire when I came home from visiting a friend, but no he was just burning stuff in the back yard again. The smoke was drifting over the top of my kitchen. Anyway his front door just slammed and he drove off. Happy Christmas eve! I’m going to finish my banana butty and cake bar tea.
Sitting pretty,
Cat in a box
Just had his tea
Now he can sleep
I’ll let him rest
And get the best
Afternoon kip,
With some of the catnip!
How do you pronounce Scone?
Is it sk-own, or scon?
Each is used in the UK
How do you serve it?
With Jam
With Cream
With Butter?
Or all three?
Etiquette matters!
Cream first
Jam first?
You can tell if someone
is from Cornwall or Devon.
I can never remember
which way they choose?
Just they do opposites
My way is butter, then jam
and cream on top. Yum
And with hot chocolate.
Although it should be tea to drink…
Dilemma time!
I used to just eat crumpets with butter or margarine. Then I tried melted cheese, tonight I tried a bit of pasta sauce with mozzarella on top.
Crumpets have little holes in them, like a sponge, but the sides and base are solid so they can hold melted butter when you toast them. But I have half a jar of pasta sauce that needs using up. A tablespoon of the tomatoey sauce spooned onto the crumpets sank down into the holes. Then the cheese sprinkled on top. The toasted crumpets got microwaved for about 90 seconds.
Result, tasty crumpets with stringy cheese falling off it!
Fish ‘n’ chips
For tea,
For me!
What a treat
So nice to eat
Warming food
To lighten my mood
Just the sort you
Add vinegar and salt to
A delicious meal
To make me feel
Purring and happy
And so is my catty!
