How sad am I?

I had to do this to try and fit everything in. Now everyone knows what we eat. See how much cholesterol we consume but do we have high cholesterol? No idea, don’t want to know. I’m more interested in my oestrogen and thyroxin levels and hopefully they might be regulated if I cut out all the rubbish from my diet.

At least I have a free day on Tuesday, I’ll try not to get too excited!

I’m wondering how I feel about Costco. Whizz and I are enthusiastic customers of Costco, we love the meat – well that’s out now, and we buy Parmagiano Regiano in big lumps and large blocks of haloumi as well as lovely veg – also out, and tins of all sorts, organic kidney beans, catering sized tins of italian tomatoes and large packs of Pepsi Max. We also get all our cleaning materials from Costco: giant boxes of washing powder and packs of washing up liquid.

I have already said that I won’t buy brands that are found in supermarkets but what of the other brands? I need to investigate Costco.

Best made plans

Mavis was ill today: Tummy ache. I hope it wasn’t my flapjacks!

The bread machine coughed up a perfect French loaf which provided breakfast, with delicious organic butter and a cup of filter coffee in my magic cup.

I bought the cups, well mugs really, from Lakeland and they are brilliant for making a quick cup of real coffee. They are like a small cafetiere with a handle and no lip i.e. a mug with a plunger. I don’t think Lakeland stock them any more but I have asked them. They’re usually pretty good about re-stocking things if people ask for them. A good company. www.lakeland.co.uk

I raided the freezer for some meat for dinner instead of going to the butcher’s and spent the morning snuggled up with Mavis watching Herbie Fully Loaded.

Lunch was soup. I had some home made stock in the fridge and some left over mashed potatoes as well as a few leeks that needed using so it had to be leek and potato soup. I stirred in quarter of a pot of clotted cream at the end and it was completely delicious. Mavis wouldn’t try it though, even though she was hungry. How do you make kids try the good things? Mavis used to eat anything but I think I got into a bit of a routine with cooking and we had the same things all the time and suddenly, if she wasn’t used to it, she wouldn’t try it.

Good stock makes all the difference to a soup (more…)
