Made cheat pizza last night. Tonight is probably the chilli we were supposed to have last night.

Sorry, Bad wife. Not feeling up to cooking so we are having beans and cheese on toast.

 

[crustychick]

no cooking mojo here at the mo. maybe something with mushrooms and garlic and mint? giant couscous with mushrooms, garlic, mint and sheeps cheese maybe.

this was actually awesome!

In the end it was red onion, garlic, small pieces of cauliflower, mushroom and red pepper with giant couscous mint and goats cheese.

 

[Thimble Queen]

Either veggy stir fry with noodles or a thing I made up when I wanted chorizo hash but didn't have potatoes or chorizo. Its made of chopped up bacon
fried up with onions, peppers, chilli, garlic, ginger, smoked paprika, cumin, salt and pepper and a can of black beans. Served with or without egg depending on how hungry and if feeding one or two ppl. Topped with a bit of coriander, if I've got some in.

I had the hash ting and had coriander *smiles*

pasta carbonara. after nearly getting into a fight in the shop (i didn't start it!) over the fact that i exist and was buying bacon there. well, i was until i walked out and went somewhere else.

Had a lovely dinner tonight. Chicken cooked in herbs in a bag in the oven, (It seems strange to cook things in plastic bags but it does make the meat really tender and uses no oil), salad with balsamic vinegar and sumac dressing and rice.

My boss's boss took us out for pizza.

baked beans? I'd go for 4 days. I'd probably push it to 5 or 6 after a quick sniff/mould check tbh...

if they smell okay and there's no mould, have a little taste, and if they taste okay then they'll be grand.

Indefinitely - as long as you don't reheat them three times like rice.
