thereyougothenI'm going to have to pass on the store cupboard thing. I was allowed to make the gravy for last night's roast chicken dinner, but other than the odd slice of toast or cup of coffee, I'm not in the kitchen a lot.
I don't even know what's in my kitchen cupboards at the moment. Staples are either running out or we have twice as many as we need becasue both my parents and BIll have bought them.
I did have a trip to Sainsbury's last weekend, and one to Lidl on Friday. You'd be surprised how important it felt to me to be able to choose what food was coming into my house.
There are packets of gravy mix and casserole sauce in my house! Why do I find that so awful when I'll happily buy stock cubes - is there really that much difference? Is being a kitchen snob a good thing or bad?
Pumpkin & Leek soup tonight. The (probably too large) pumpkin that never got carved into a jack-o-lantern, leeks, and stock from last night's chicken.
If I can face it, soda bread. If not, ciabatta rolls from the freezer.
Maybe I'll play properly next month when my kitchen is my own again.
ETA: we have jars of curry sauce, and sometimes marinades, but they don't count either, do they?
