Hello Dear Reader,
I’m into my stride now my work pattern is back to normal. Weekends have a rhythm to them of giving the house a deep clean, get the laundry done and cooking for a few days.
I’ve made two veggie shepherdess pies, like shepherds pie but with a vegetable base instead of meat. We’ve eaten one this weekend and one is in lunch boxes for the week. They’ll just get reheated.
Before Christmas, I bought and froze a boned and rolled pork shoulder joint, it’s been taking up half a freezer drawer ever since. I’ve cooked it today plus enough veggies and as I never cook on Mondays so that’s why I’ve plated four meals; we had two for our Sunday lunch. I’ve wrapped up the cooked pork and roasties in foil. The gravy and veggies had gone into clip down boxes.
At this rate, I won’t have to cook again until Thursday! It will save my electricity bill; the dishwasher won’t have to do much. It all might seem a bit stingy but I’m on black belt savings mode this year.
We’re off ‘home’ to France at the end of March and we’re saving to do some renovation work. Even though it will be done in manageable chunks it will still require a year of belt tightening. Cutting back on each and every bit of money spending all adds up.
Plus…….I’m ‘off’ cooking and the less I can do, the better!
Until tomorrow,
Love Froogs xxxx
