Tried to be more adventurous for the cooking today. it didn't work.

I don't understand how people enjoy cooking: It seems a very stressful enterprise.

Maybe you were too adventurous , try salads and stuff ,no cooking required and more time for a glass of decent vino !

Are you on freezer surprise as well ?

Teens had noodles and turkey curry, I had chicken stew.

Nope, got two stocked freezers and just had a nice beef pie with mash and veg.

Did dip into the Brexit stockpile for a tin of corned beef as a dirty treat of corn beef hash.

an exciting event happened today ....l found a compilation CD of hits from the 1970's and 80's ....the memories came flooding back, it would have been emotional overkill if l wasn't such a cold hearted bar steward

Forgot to mention, I went the long way back from work today.

Boiler news...
Ours is 25 years old and broke down yesterday, i think for the first time ever (barring external controls /pumps) no pilot light, unable to light it.
Rang as engineer son, probable faults either restricted pilot, gas valve or thermo couple I think he said. But hes in Cornwall.
Hes back today, quick look, almost got it fired up, thinks it's a restricted pilot, will service it tomorrow.

Tonight was a 5 kettle, 2 large pans of boiling water bath...all of 3 inches deep, I was that desperate for a hot bath, even that was enough to reduce the aches.

Boiler now working, apparently it was fairly sooty inside. Good clean and check over, it seems the insulation panel ( whatever that is) needs replacing but its obsolete. Further enquiries to follow but tonight a good hot, deep bath was had.

I ended up simply chucking everything at a frying pan except the potatoes. So boiled new potatoes, plus fried eggs, tomatoes and mushrooms. With a generous dab of chilli sauce on the side.

Thanks to paying for virtually everything by card at the moment, I have a rather large collection of receipts that now need to be shredded.

Sooty inside? What about Sweep?
