Before I finished eating a Jaffa Cake, I popped a custard cream in.
What a wonderfully tasty combination !!
I'll be doing it again soon...

Fray Bentos steak pie, mash & peas tonight.
Not sure about pud yet. It's a toss up between ginger sponge and custard or raspberry ripple ice cream.
Decisions, decisions 🤔

I think we might be buying him. He doesn't get on with Zidane, so there's a good chance of it. General opinion is that its unlikely that he'll return to Real.

Its raining now!

Well, we'll see.

I think it depends on what happens with Ozil... Still trying to figure out what's going on there.

Good to see Bukayo Saka get a new contract. That lad looks like a fabby prospect.

Mmmm, I'll have to try that. Don't have any chicken in the freezer, but turkey will do nicely.

A cold supper here tonight. Hard boiled eggs, assorted salads and cheeses, sourdough bread and a pot of tea. And a choice of cherries, mulberries and bananas for afters. Oh, and several will be involved as well.

The eggs come from one friend's maran hens, and the sourdough bread (from a small artisan bakery) via another friend who volunteers for a local community food project.

I can hear chunks of ice falling in my fridge. Judging by the sound and the size of the puddle on the floor, defrosting is progressing perfectly.

And I had a lovely socially distanced catch up with a friend this afternoon. Only half an hour, but it made me feel a lot better. We're planning on having a socially distanced picnic at some point in the near future. The green in Coveney has some spectacular views and will be a brilliant place for such.

I've just had a pizza for tea. Made in Southern Ireland by some Dr chappy. I didn't realize that there was a cheese shortage there !

I'd never cook a Chinese stir fry with any meat that has been frozen, freezing damages the cell structure of the meat and makes it a bit tough and chewy.Frozen meat is fine for other cooking methods but the 'flash' frying of a stir fry relies on the meat staying tender and being barely cooked for it's succulence.
