NO NEWS except I've been irritatedly dragging myself to and from counselling sessions, trips into hospital to see sick friends, daily trips to the chemist (thanks to bitch druggieworker who put me back on daily pickup some months ago ~ she does that. Fine. But she ain't gettin' no favours off me. Or insights. Or revelations. I don't trust her.) In other words I've been running thanklessly to and fro when all I want to do is stay in alone with my book with doors locked and the phone switched to silent.I've been having pub-lunch style roast beef dinners nearly every day courtesy of Iceland, the wondrous frozen food store. They sell Sliced Beef in Gravy 200g for £1; Cauliflower and Broccoli Cheese 680g (3 big portions) for £1.50. It's 30% cauliflower, 30% brocooli; 60% creamy cheese sauce. The creamy cheese sauce is yummy and melts all over the plate. Despite instructions claiming 45 mins is required the whole lot's done in half an hour in a non-preheated oven at 225C.
This I put in with Potato Croquettes, which in case you're not working class British are tubular mashed potato shapes covered in a delightful crispy crumb coating. With these I put in a couple of industrially pre-done Yorkshire Puddings. You fork in some of the industrially cheeserunny broccoli and some industrially thin-cut roast beef (sliced in the manner only large canteens manage to do ~ no-one ever naturally gnashes roast beef like that at home.All in all it's very lovely with a cyder-passionfruit cocktail "of" an evening... In fact ~ surprise, surprise! ~ I think I might have it again tonight!
Here's a clubbed-up mix of Madonna's Celebration:~
Its been years since I had roast beef . . hmmm . .inspiration for the sunday roast perhaps. Although I'm not a fan of the frozen dinner thingy but I guess they're nutritious and good food for one! Hope your bruises are healing and your drug worker is a smart cookie getting you out and about rather than wallowing at home! It's a good psychological strategy to maintain motivation even if you don't like it! Have a great weekend Gleds. And don't stick stuff up yer nose!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you can get some decent quick and easy food at a reasonable price there. Glad you eat well - you seem to enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteBaino: no I'm not sticking anything else up my nose ever again, I hope. I heard frozen food is better than tinned, as it preserves the vitamins, just like it preserves stone-age "ice men" ... well that's what I tell myself as I gnaw into my overdone industrial gravy-soaked potato croquettes anyhow ...
ReplyDeleteJeannie: yes it's not bad. Considering it's "industrial" ...
At least you're eating well! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, glad to hear you're on the comfort food, Gleds. Take care. x
ReplyDeleteGleddy,
ReplyDeleteThat looks wonderful, and I'm very hungry at the moment. Yum!
Love,
