Wot? No chips?

We usually eat the same thing in this house, though occasionally meals get out of sync. That's generally when there are leftovers to eat up and I am none too keen on those! There are also things that I really don't like and just sometimes I will cook something just for my husband. He has a penchant for haggis and today they were on offer. I can't even stand the smell so he is lucky that one found its way into my trolley! 

We dodged the rain and got the supermarket shop done but then it crashed down again! I had my usual boiled egg and crispbreads (HEb) together with some fruit. There was no way I was going out again so I picked up the knitting I had started and cracked on with it. By late lunch time I had finished one side and had started on a sleeve! Lunch was one of my favourites - risotto. Teamed up with some vegetables it was very filling! I also had a yoghurt and an orange.




I picked up the knitting again and tried not to think of anything sweet. In the end I gave in and made a 'chocolate cake in a mug' and had it with some 0% yoghurt. Not bad for 2 syns. My HEa was disappearing in numerous cups of coffee throughout the day.


Now Saturday night usually means chips, but they don't really go with haggis! Carrot and swede does apparently so I was left wondering what I could have with that! I was missing the chips, so nothing else for it - bring on the jacket potato! The chicken was just plain roasted. I treated myself to a small amount of butter on my potato (5syns).


During the evening I had some blackberries with 0% yoghurt and I also had a HiFi bar (6syns). I managed to complete the sleeve I was knitting; only one more to go. So, not a chip in sight and I did miss them. Well, half term this week so it's definitely chip night at least once in the week!
