By request I put some chicken and chorizo in the slow cooker earlier but it's not ready yet, normally Id wait for it to be ready but I'm seriously hungry tonight so I'm raiding the freezer for anything nukeable.

Don't forget to pierce the cellophane 
Veg curry tonight but first poppadums and pickles including a new tomato one Val's created which is to die for. She told me if I ate it all I would die....

I went to the Co op to get some milk, I must have been in a can't be 'asked' mood as I came out with a curry 'ping' meal as well as the milk (It's really not something I usually do  )
 
Served with some salad and HM chutney, it was ok ......

Nothing wrong with a ping meal occasionally - or sausage, egg, chips and beans with white bread and butter for the butties. Only thing to decide is red or brown sauce!
Psst - just ignore snowy the show off

This is one I found and tried when I got back late yesterday.  It is quicker than a ping meal and surprisingly good.  I ate it with toasted doorstep bread, but you could bulk it it out with rice.

Don't judge me until you've tried it.  I know a recipe that starts with frying ketchup sounds pretty horrendous, but it is tasty and makes a meal out of almost nothing

Dare I admit to liking ketchup on cooked tomatoes?
Never would have thought of combining eggs and tomatoes though.

It's badly fried eggs with stewed tomato. Even sausage, bacon, mushrooms and black pudding couldn't save it 

I had the chicken and chorizo with couscous, it was rather meh - lacking a veggy ( like a courgette  ) and taste in general.  My ability to cook really has gone to the dogs. Mind you the waitrose chicken vindaloo I had last night was shameful and the notion it would serve 2 even worse.

I suspect there will be a grilled cheese and onion sandwich in my not too distant future.

I defrosted a haddock fillet and made a cheese sauce for it, peas, carrots and cauli to go with it

I dunno, sounds lacking in something... I got it, fried bread, toast and tea

You are supposed to be stir-frying the tomatoes over high heat and then making a sauce, not stewing them 

it was rather meh - lacking a veggy ( like a courgette  )

Now that is just plain reckless    You could be on the end of an avalanche saying that in front of plot holders 

Anyway, another late night yesterday so ended up with tuna salad sandwiches, but I would have made the tomatoes and eggs if there had been eggs in the house   

Reading Festival week and our lift at job no.2 has decided to start playing up.  All the storage is upstairs so it meant us carrying stock downstairs for an hour or so yesterday.  Not fun    I could have done with more than a sandwich, but it was too late for anything heavier.

We often double cook and freeze so home made ping meals. Some things are hard to cook for two so half one day and the rest two days later. Hearty soups freeze well too. But I can well understand that after a long hard day even a sandwich is an effort.

Freezer surprise again - need the space for tomato sauces! 

The surprise part is due to the not always very legible labelling on my part - last night it was spicy pulled pork (probably - definitely remember cooking it some time last winter!  )

You missed the hash browns out  (not had those for years!)  but you're on the right track.  I do miss fried food.

Im having to buy tinned ratatouille bring it on ! 

Tonight was a repeat of last night and it wasn't any better today , Mother Lard enjoyed it though,  so I'm left with the conclusion I have broken my taste buds.
