Hello Dear Reader,
Quick recipe for stuffed mushrooms. More assembly than cooking. Perfect for when you can be bothered to cook and I can't be bothered this weekend.
5 portobello mushrooms
300g pack of feta
1 chopped onion
1 beaten egg
1 pack ready cooked quinoa and brown rice
1 pack of chopped kale, steamed to your liking.
1 sliced of cheese for each mushroom - i used the sliced sandwich cheese
serve with salad
Combine the ingredients, top with cheese and bake for 15-20 minutes.
Serve with salad. Put your feet up, it's been a long week and eat healthy yummy nosh that'll nurture your soul too. I'm eating lots of easy assembly food at the moment as I don't want to spend too much time in the kitchen. We all get like this once in a while but hey, it's cheaper than the takeaway!
I'm brain drained. I'm trawling eBay, free ads, freecycle and local auctions to furnish the French house. So far, I've gleaned.......small undercounter freezer, click clack sofa bed, double bed frame and so on. Everything will be wedged in the corner of my dining room, stacked up ready to take with us in December. We've hired the UK version of a U haul trailer which worked out cheaper than hiring a van. We're buying here as we'll take everything we can second hand and we'll look out for second hand items when we're out there too.
We'll be back there next Saturday staying in a bargain gite on the moors and we're really looking forward to lots of walking, outdoors, vide grenier on Sunday in Morlaix and a womble around the local depot ventes in the local towns searching our necessities at bargain prices. I don't pay much here and get everything second hand and I'm going to do the same here too, especially for kitchen items, small pieces of furniture and decorative items.
I'm so distracted that this week will mainly be 'on toast', out of a tin or the freezer and will involve list making, packing and bidding on ebay.
Over to you Dear Reader, who else gets moments where you'd rather sit in a ditch than cook? We can pat ourselves on the back if we manage egg and chips as it's cheaper than the chippy!
Until tomorrow,
Froogs xxxx
