The Retirement Thread

A 'foodie' question for you.
I mentioned that our daughter was making us a chicken dinner (to fatten us up).
She is a veggie.
MrsD eats mainly veg.
I am a 'meat n 2 veg' type.
So........when she served it there was cabbage, cauli, carrots n brocoli, roast and mashed potato. Plus the chicken n gravy.
I took one look and was beaten before I started.
I have always said.....for me, chicken, roasties and 2 veg eg carrots and brocoli.
Daughter and MrsD had no problem (minus the chicken).
How about you ?

If I just ate veggies, I would die of starvation. I like meat.

Certainly a lot of veg, but I’m sure I would manage!

Use the leftovers for bubble and squeak.

That is what we are having later.
That with chicken and brown sauce.

I’m about to have chicken and vegetable soup for lunch. Not home made of course! At least it’s the half decent Yorkshire Provender stuff which is pretty good.

Sounds like a lot of food choice for you there. What exactly is the problem? Couldn't you just grab some chicken and some carrots n broccoli and be done with it? 🤷‍♂️

Morning. I had a long lie as we had rain earlier. Nothing to report apart from it’s green bin day

White bag, blue bag and green bags today.
They've stopped doing the brown bins for some reason, so contents get thrown in the blue bag.

A quick hello. Phone is virtually out of charge. Unfortunately so is MrsD's and she got the charger first.

Chargers aren't that expensive. You could own your own.

You could have taken some of the veg of your plate, to attack later if able.

Yoga this morning was a good workout and we've been down the Cosy Cafe for lunch.

I’m not showing Molly that or she’ll be wanting a fish tank! I used to have one but it was too much faff. She caught a couple of flies yesterday. That will have to do her.

99% of the time the one will suffice.

Covid/Flu injection??? ......decision made.
I have been umming n arhing over this.
15 minutes ago, out of the blue, our GP turns up at the door.
She had been to inject our neighbour so gave us a knock.
1 minute, all done.
MrsD is refusing hers.
