..  supermarket bacon loses all its water in about three minutes, it's still pretty good with some full-fat baked beans!

Back before my beard went white  ::) , I used to have smoked back bacon shipped 120 miles from the "dirty butcher" (an E.H.O. at the local council's words not mine) , that was pretty good. I'm going to have to dispute your claims about supermarket offerings having recently bought some.

The days when 3 rashers of bacon and a slice of extra mature cheddar made everything better are unfortunately long gone.   :nowink:

When you are retired and have more time ( :lol: :lol:) you could cure and salt your own.  Now there is a little dream for dull days ... 

Cold meat (ham and turkey, co-op bargains) with steamed beet greets, cabbage, bit calabrase, grilled toms and steamed spuds for OH are on the way.  Trying to resist the idea of a little cheese sauce ...

Pea and mint soup with some crusty home-made bread.
The last of the Medieval Peasant’s Flour, which makes lovely bread mixed 50:50 with ordinary bread flour, was reaching its BB date, so needed to use it up  :)

It's no wonder it was reaching its BB date, being Medieval. How did the peasant feel about you taking his flour?

Retirement or decent slices of bacon ?  :nowink:

😱 A beard, never considered a beard 😂

How else would I keep my chin warm ? You know I'm not putting the central heating on until 10c.

There was gammon, there was cheese sauce (with cauli and broccoli) and there were chips  :tongue2:  I'm sure I will suffer for it tomorrow but it was worth it.  :tongue2:

I've caught a bad case of the cba's this afternoon which normally means pasta and pesto or nuking a spud but even the decision feels like rather too much effort at the moment ::)

Oh dear - Jkt and beans and cheese? That's my go to  ;)

The last of the plum toms on the windowledge had ripened so made a pasta sauce with onion, garlic and bacon bits and cooked penne pasta to go with it. French beans in honey/mustard sauce as a side.

Pork chop, plot spuds, plot cabbage and spoon standing.  Very simple, but good  :)

I gave myself a stern talking to, dragged myself into the kitchen put the turkey breast in the slow cooker then  promptly fell asleep until 01:30  :ohmy: oops. I was going to try and rescue it tonight with a sauce as it's somewhat dry  :nowink: but nuked the last of the big spuds instead.

I'm sure there is a starving mutt who would happily help with the turkey!   :D :D

Tonight is (bargain) chicken and gravy pie, with beetroot (clearing the last of them off the plot - the beasties have found them!  >:( ) gratin and steamed pak choi.  Some spuds for OH ...

I'll ask but I'm pretty sure he'll complain it's dry and under-seasoned  ;)

Guess I'll have to turkey and the trimming - doesn't feel right without sprouts but Ml finished those off last week.
