I just had some amazingly good gazpacho with shredded mozzarella on top, and a hunk of multi grain bread.  Mmmmm!!!!  I have a late meeting tonight so probably no dinner for me, just a couple of the best sugar cookies in the world and a glass of wine at the meeting (it's not a work meeting).

I miss a good bean soup, so I made up my own, and it actually works pretty good!

I picked up an already-cooked bacon joint and two cans of refried beans from Tesco earlier today. Chopped up an onion and tossed all (plus two cans of water) into a pot, covered and am now slow cooking for a couple of hours.

In a while I'll take the ham off the bone and toss out the skin and bone, leaving just meat (cut into bits) and returned to the bean soup. No real timeframe on this, but since I like mine really thick, I usually let it cook for a while.

That sounds good LisaE.

We had store-bought roast chicken, already cut up carrots, and (horror upon horror) Smiley Faces.   :o  Mum didn't feel like cooking tonight.   :)

We're out of groceries, dh doesn't get paid 'til tomorrow. So he's gonna borrow a few quid from his brother and get fish & chips. So bad. But so good. I've been eating like a bird all day today in preparation!!

Last night was McDonalds - for the first time in I don't know how long.  Tonight it will probably be a Krispy Kreme donut from the kiosk at Victoria station whilst on my way to see Elizabeth!
