Worry is a
misuse of the imagination. Dan Zadra
Slept like a log, I don’t know what it is but I could’ve
stayed there this morning, is it the cold mornings, the dark nights, I’m not
sure but even Alfie cuddled up this morning as if to say let’s stay here. Instead I went and made a brew and banged the
heating on, starting to feel human already.
Yesterday was ‘Treat Tuesday’ and mine involved chorizo
and stilton on my macaroni/cauli cheese – now they are two of my favourite
foods, obviously both high in ProPoints so not eaten too often and they added
10pp to the dish but hey I earned 8pp on my pedometer yesterday and I didn’t
have my usual 6pp glass of wine so that’s a pretty fair exchange.
This got me thinking about those foods we’d put on our
top ten list of foods and I was surprised that some of my top ten foods I have gone without
for a while even though I love them. So
today is “Without Wednesday” which if you haven’t already guessed is
remembering a food you’ve gone without for a while and planning it into your
day! Another of mine would be black
olives, so last night I made a Mediterranean type casserole in the oven which
included a whole chicken skinned and quartered, 2 sticks celery, 3 carrots, 2
baby leeks, 2 green peppers, 1 jar Chicken Tonight low fat honey and mustard
sauce, 1 can Batchelors low fat chicken soup and a can of water. It took less than 20 minutes to throw in the
oven and I left it on gas mark 2 from 4pm till I got home at 8pm and oh my word
it was awesome, it just fell off the bones – nom nom nom. I had about 8pp work of it with 4pp wild rice
and that was truly a delicious way to end my day.
Top Ten Foods – ooo difficult one, actually one I need to
think about so far (only this week obviously because my tastes change depending
on my mood) I’ve got,
1. Fried
eggs (I could just write eggs but of all the different ways to cook an egg
fried in proper oil with the crispy egg comes out on top!),
2. Blue
cheese (Again I suppose I could just write cheese but I feel the need to be
specific),
3. Black
olives, (& I’m thrilled to realise a large can drained is only 5pp!)
4. Chorizo,
(Asda have got a spicy on at the moment for £2 – WOWSERS)
5. Mashed
Potato mmm, you can’t beat mash with a bit of spread melted on top & salt
& pepper.
6. Actually
you can, you can top in with Melted Grilled Cheese – now that’s the best way to
eat Cheddar, so yeah that would come in at number 6.
7. I
need to think about the last three carefully and come back to you! I don’t want to rush these things.
Ooo I suppose a crusty white baguette could be one, or….
I need to stop it for a minute now because it’s making me want to go eat. Oh it’s too late, I’ve thought of another
one.
8. Sainsbury
cooked rotiserrie chicken, mmm now I just love one of those (when they’re
cooked in the one particular oven – the other oven doesn’t do them quite so
well), I eat the wings, the parsons nose and some of the skin as soon as I open
the bag, then we all pick at the rest throughout the day.
9. Yeah I’m going to add crusty white bread here
and I think that will be today’s lunch, Sainsbury’s cooked chicken with crusty
bread – roll on lunchtime! Mmm although
I do have a chicken casserole cooked but I could save that for tomorrow, it’ll
keep I only cooked it last night.
10. OOOOO
what’s going to be number ten….
That one I’ll decide as I have a wander round Sasinbury’s
I haven’t been there for weeks because of the Asda voucher promotion so I shall
sadly because I’m weird look forward to a browse around my favourite
supermarket, my second favourite place that I like to spend time at, the first
being my home ;-)
On that note I better go take Alfie for an extra long
walk this morning to earn a few extra ProPoints to help cover that crusty bread!
So what food have you gone without for a while that you
really enjoy, join me in, “Without Wednesday”, let me know what you eat ;-)
OR alternatively you could opt for “Wicked Wednesday” and
do this (it made me chuckle)
