Lovely Marks and Spencer food free with vouchers
Spent some of my M&S vouchers today. I get them from using a credit card and use them for lovely M&S food. Today I got a pack of salmon fillets and another bag of sea bass fillets, a pack of large smoky flavoured prawns, a big oblong pizza, some mixed...
Herby Omelette, chips and peas 31p – Meal Plan 10
Use any herbs you have to hand, fresh are nicer than dried if you can get them. If you want to, and have any available, many additions can be made to an omelette. A few fried mushrooms, a sprinkle of cheddar, a couple of oven dried tomatoes, 3 or 4 prawns, a crispy rasher of bacon, a few shreds of chicken. Have a look and see what you have got in those little dishes in the fridge – you do keep your leftover bits and pieces – don’t you?
Green Tomato Curry, vegan and using up LOADS of what I have
My curry used up loads of what I had available. But if you have green tomatoes you want to use for something other than the usual suggestions of chutney and fried ones, this is delicious, and a good place to start.
Internet, no internet, internet……
Oh joy and jubilation -I have internet back. I can't tell you how cut off I have felt. It would have tiny times of on-ness, a few seconds, during which it would download emails and messages, which I could see on the iPad, but then it would refuse to let me answer...

Delicious little herb flavoured savoury scones from meal plan 10
Spinach, tomato, plum and feta salad with crusty bread 71p
One of the things I had today was a spinach salad, with some cherry tomatoes and sliced plums, drizzled with a scant half tsp of good olive oil and a pinch of crunchy salt. It was extremely good! If it was a non-fasting day, I would have added some feta and a bit of crusty bread. I may well have that tomorrow!

Cashew Chicken, 89p a serving, and how to stay on track
We had this lovely recipe for dinner this evening. I found the idea on the web, but can't remember where now. It was a slow cooker recipe, but I just bubbled it on the hob, and I've tweaked it, as you do. It's a strong flavoured sauce, robust and delicious. A little...
Meal Plan 10 and other news
Very protracted journey home on Monday due to the closure of the A27, the A358 and the usual delays on the M25. Took us hours to get home – exhausting Tuesday was unpacking, washing, sorting the pile of post and all the usual jobs after a holiday. In the morning, the...
Westward Ho! and our last day on honeymoon
Yet another grey and wet start to today. DH had the bright idea of setting off to Westward Ho! an hour before it was forecast to clear up and hope that we could catch the best of the day. And that's exactly what we did! Westward Ho! is a real old fashioned seaside...
Went to Bideford today
Weatherwise, today has been much like yesterday - overcast and grey, but not much actual rain. So when we were ready, we decided to have a look at Bideford. It has a feel much like the Old Town in Hastings, not too far from where I live. The smell at Bideford has that...
