Got me fancying a Fray Bentos Pie now (one of the items I haven't got in) and that Omelette looks bloody lovely (How come mine never turns out like that , mine resemble burnt scrambled egg) Got me fancying pancakes now!
Seeing the Flahavans wooden spoon .......Having Flahavans porridge and honey for todays dinner.
Tea is using up the remainder of last weeks butchers and farm shop deliveries and having a massive Ham salad.

Do you have one of the special spoon/spatula/spurtles?
There are at least three here, I could import one when all this subsides sufficiently.

No, I Haven't got the special spoon. Been struggling to get the Flahavans porridge lately as well. Used to get it from Asda, but couldn't get it in there the last few times I looked. Stocked up with it last year when I saw it in Tesco .(Just started my last bag , so hoping they still have some when I start going out shopping again ! Can't see it on Tesco online pages today)
Googling has brought up Asda as possibly having it, but I'm in a queue to just look at their website

Another “make do” meal.
Defrosted chicken thighs from the freezer.
Put them in a frying pan with chopped up onion and garlic.
Added tinned tomatoes, chicken stock.
Simmered for 45 mins then added tinned mushrooms.
Chicken cacciatore served with tagliatelle.
Someone brought me some rhubarb from their garden so I made rhubarb crumble.
Served with custard.

Love Rhubarb crumble, but never made it from scratch, must try harder.
I cooked roast turkey dinner, after 2 weeks (or is it 3? 4? 5? weeks) of not cooking, it was a disaster, I'm never cooking again...

Egg and chip butties tonight, with a splash of rouge
I haven’t had a chip buttie for the longest time.
I’m going to rectify that very soon.

Home made rhubarb crumble is very very easy.
It’s much easier than cooking a Sunday Roast Turkey Dinner.
So next Sunday, forget the dinner, just do the pudding.

Rooting round in the freezer last night I found sausages and oatcakes.
Brunch today, sausage and cheese oatcakes with tinned plum tomatoes on the side.
Bliss, I enjoyed every mouthful.
Tonight another make do meal, we cooked up some new potatoes that were in danger of sprouting.
Fried up onion, garlic, rosemary, and the potatoes (cut into chunks).
Added some chopped up ham at the last minute.
Had a side salad with it. Absolutely gorgeous.

I really like Aldi meat and fish.
A few years ago there was some snobbery around Aldi and Lidl, people thinking that cheap equated to inferior.
How wrong they were.
The quality is amazing for what you pay.
