Hello Dear Reader,
I popped into the co op and picked up their £5 deal. Chips, battered cod, peas, ice cream and apple pie, would have been more than double if I'd paid full price. Their offers sell out quickly and I was lucky to get my hands on this.
I then got a basket full of reductions. Blueberries for 50p a punnet, iceberg for 19p, salad leaves for 79p and wholemeal loaf for 39p .
Salad Nicoise.
Hand full of frozen green beans,
Two new potatoes per person,
One egg per person.
Boil together in one pan and then leave until completely cold. I cooked them for ten minutes after reaching boiling point.
Finely dice one red onion
Three tomatoes per person, sliced in half.
Mixed salad leaves.
One small tin of tuna in brine per person.
Dressing, equal parts of oil to vinegar, I used red wine vinegar and olive oil, season well with salt, pepper, garlic powder and lemon juice. I always have bottled lemon juice in the fridge.
Arrange all the ingredients on a plate and drizzle with the dressing.
I've nearly caught up with the laundry and it's drying in the back porch.
The dogs are glad to be home, Dolly Knockers has welded herself to DB and it doesn't look like she'll let him out of her sight for a while.
Last week sunning ourselves and this week back to a thrifty simple life.
Until tomorrow,
Love Froogs xxxx
