Hello Dear Reader,
Went off to meet a friend for a pot of tea and a chat at our local Waitrose today, handed over my loyalty card and had my free drink. I thought they stopped that so I really enjoyed it for free! There are things they sell there that I can't buy in Lidl or Aldi such as wild rice and quinoa. As I have a loyalty card, I can pick the ten items I want with a discount and I've made the items I can't buy elsewhere as my 'favourites'. I could go to Tesco but that's further away.....p.s other supermarkets and local stores are available.
I'm also fond of a proper lunch, like the rest of us, I only get that at the weekends. I also like the time to slowly make a risotto.
2 tbsp oil
1 cup of wild and whole grain rice
1 chicken stock cube and a litre of boiling water
1 cougette chopped
1 large red onion chopped
1 green pepper chopped
2 low fat cheese triangles
1/2 salami or chorizo - optional, we're cutting back on meat and just felt like some today.
3 crushed cloves garlic
Heat the oil
Add the onions, courgette, peppers - sweat for 5-10 minutes
Add the rice and stock
Stir for twenty five minutes, add more water if required.
Just before serving, add the cheese.
Lush!
The go for a huge walk to burn off some of that heap of calories.
Over to you, does anyone else use a loyalty card to get some special offers?
Until tomorrow xx
