It's all about the food

Saturday is always about food - planning for the week, looking through recipe books, writing lists and then shopping. I seem to take the same route around the supermarket and buy virtually the same things. It's an effort to ignore the special offers and the BOGOFs. I tussle with myself; why get two when I didn't want one in the first place? I am better at ignoring the danger aisles - cakes, biscuits, sweets, bread and CHEESE. Cheese is a particular weakness I am afraid.

Today I made life harder for myself. We went off and did the normal shopping fairly speedily, then came home to put it all away. It was only when I was doing this that I remembered the desert I had promised to make for lunch at my friend's tomorrow! 0% yoghurt - check, Strawberries - check. Meringues - oh no! So off I set for  an alternative supermarket, navigating my way around an unknown store with no idea where meringues could be found. I came home with more than the meringues, but nothing I shouldn't really have except for some Nak'd bars, which appear to be 6.5 syns each. Oh well!

Meals today have been good on the whole. That is because they were planned,  and because I am not at work so could prepare them properly. I love eggs so the weekend is the time for a leisurely boiled egg, but no soldiers! Bread and I do not really agree so I try to stick to crispbreads. (HEb)

Now another favourite is jacket potato and beans. So for lunch it was sweet potato and beans with some yummy Low Low soft cheese (2.5 syns)

Having made a big bowl of ratatouille yesterday,  I just had to have more today! So this was what dinner looked like:

SW chips are so easy! 2 quorn sausages (2 syns) . I need to put some yoghurt on the fruit and I still have my milk (HEa) to use up with Highlights  tonight - a few more syns!

Reminder to self - I need to drink more - coffee,and soft drinks today. More water tomorrow!
