That sounds like a really nice sunday dinner! I seem to very rarely cook a "traditional" sunday meal with meat and roast potatoes and stuff but the description of that one is making me think I should more often. Sounds like a very tasty day indeed.

Its horrible when you feel like you don't get a weekend isn't? I seem to spend the week waiting for the weekend but then seem to fall into the trap of doing so little I feel I have "wasted" it or doing so much I feel like I need another weekend to recover! I have a 4 day weekend next week as I am going to stay with my mum from friday to sunday. This will not be a relaxing weekend I feel. It tends to be a bit chaotic and involve too little sleep and too much alcohol for my liking. Will definitely need the monday off work to recover.

How is the cough? Is it finally on its way out yet?

It was very tasty - hadn't had swede for a while so enjoyed that very much. Sounds like a busy week ahead for you then! The cough is still hanging around, but at least we are both sleeping a lot better now thanks.

Glad you are sleeping a bit better. Decent sleep (I somehow managed to write "sheep" first time round!) tends to make the world alot easier to deal with...

The cheese and noodle bake sounds really unusual and quite tasty. I really must remember to pick up some of the mexicana cheese next week as I really want to try that soup you made the other people. I also quite fancy chicken and BNS queasadias with it too.

Looks like this week is going really well for you.

The noodle bake was going to be a pasta bake - until I realised I was out of pasta. I think it actually worked better with the noodles though. Anything with cheese and chorizo in is a hit in my book!

Bit of an up and down day today - 'snow day' at school which meant the school was closed to the pupils, but staff had to go in if they could. There were a couple of exams on for the sixth form, but the invigilators couldn't get in, so I had to hang around for the morning, and invigilate in the afternoon. The whole day was very out of routine which seemed to throw me for my eating - I seemed to want to eat something sweet, then something savoury, then something sweet again! Managed to resist the sweets by having squash and a gin and tonic!

Still within my weeklies so far.
 
Yep, cheese and chorizo is always a winner in my book too. Its also the cunning plan I have developed of encouraging OH to try things that don't appeal to him. Like most vegetables. If I add chorizo to start with and then gradually reduce the amount he doesn't really seem to notice. Feeding husbands can be a lot like feeding kids sometimes it seems.

Hope you have a warm weekend planned. Our travel plans for the weekend have rather fallen through due to the weather forecast. I at least have the option of being much better behaved with food and drink than if I had been staying with my mum for the weekend though.

Drinks - milk in earl grey teas (1PP), black coffee, NAS squash

Totals for the day - 32PP, 28 dailies and 4 weeklies

Hehe - yes, my husband was the same when we first got together - there were a lot of foods he 'didn't like' - his mum was a good cook, but not very adventurous. I served them up in a more interesting way, without telling him, and he realised he liked them after all!

Shame about not getting to see your mum this week-end, but I think you are wise to delay your visit. In your diary I'm sure you said she was in Suffolk. We're in Norfolk and I've attached a piccy below of my back garden yesterday. Take a look at the snow and ice on the rotary linen line! The roads have been really treacherous.

Yeah, my OH started off rather unadventurour with food, some 13 years ago... Its very adventurous when it comes to flavours, different meats and things these days but to him vegetables will pretty much always just to something you have with your meat so you don't get scurvy rather than something to enjoy. I made roast whole harlequin squash to go with some chicken yesterday and sold it to him with the addition of it containing "stilton fondue". His response was that it was nice for a vegetable but would have been improved with chips to dip into the stilton. Sometimes I think he doesn't quite get my culinary vision :0

It was Suffolk we are heading too, yes. We've had alot of snow in Nottingham too and the roads aren't great already but its the forecast for tomorrow that finally put pay to plans. It orginally looked like if we set off early we would miss the worst of the snow as it arrived in the east midlands but looks like heavy snowy is forecast in suffolk from first thing so will just have to arrange it for another time. Having an unexpected 4 day weekend isn't exactly the worse fate. Is your school closed tomorrow too? Hope you get an extended weekend too. Going to use mine to make your BNS and mexicana cheese soup. If I can manage to get to the supermarket tomorrow anyway...
 
Just had your BNS soup for lunch. I am a BIG fan of this. I am also left wishing i had made more than 2 portions. Thanks for much for the idea/ recipe :)

Ooooh good, glad you liked it! OH went shopping down the town yesterday as we won't be driving anywhere this weekend, and got two more BNS and two huge swede, so I feel some more soup coming up. I don't have any more of the chilli cheese at the mo but thought I would try the BNS with cheddar/goats cheese and some chilli. Will probably also make one of our favourites - curried swede soup.
 
Friday 18th January

In school again Friday, although we were still closed to pupils. Had to invigilate for an exam again in the afternoon, while just about everybody else went home! One of the 'joys' of living within walking distance of the school! My conscience says that it is fair enough, as those who drive need to leave as early as possible for their safety etc., but the other side of me says, hang on a minute, the ones who haven't come in at all will still (probably) get paid, even though they have spent three days building snowmen and staying at home, while I cop for the work! Ho-hum. Anyway, it is looking unlikely that I'll be in on Monday if the weather stays like this, as I fell over last night in an icy skid mark left on the road by the person who crashed their car into a neighbour's wall! I landed on my knee with the knackered cartilage (which I did when I sprained my ankle about 16 months ago), and also twisted my back. Knee is not too bad at the moment as it is puffy with fluid which is cushioning the cartilage, but I know I'll suffer when the fluid goes! Aches and pains all over today, but my back is the worst at the moment - can hardly move, and will not be walking in on icy paths unless I feel 100%. Even a small foot slide will pull it badly. Someone else can do their share. Grump! :(

Anyway food for yesterday...

Breakfast - porridge with s/s milk and maple syrup (6PP)

Lunch - feta cheese and tomato sandwich, one banana (6PP)

Dinner - 2 pork sausages, one egg (tspn olive oil for frying), carrot, swede, brussel sprouts, onion and potato bake (aka bubble and squeak, of a kind), squirt of HP sauce, one orange (14PP)

Drinks - NAS squash, two coffees with cream, one with a splash of brandy, one black coffee (no milk at work) and one tea with a splash (5PP)

Snacks - 2 pieces of 'DIY chocolate ginger' - a small piece of rich dark choc with a piece of crystallised ginger (2PP)

Totals for the day - 33PP, 28 dailies plus 5. A little over for the week as used all my weeklies and 2 of my meagre APs, but it was worth it for the chocolate and ginger!
APs today - 2 for 25 mins walking in the snow (would have been more if I hadn't fallen over!)
APs for the week - 11, 2 used today, leaves 9
