Paella from out of the freezer, a reduced ready meal  for two ,  we really shouldn't have bothered opening the shop today as we both sat there and had only three customers.

CBA so.....add a tin of sweetcorn to a tin of Tuna, add a slurp of chilli mayo and stir, then open a packet of crackers...

Leftovers bean casserole - needs more mash doing and I never know if I should put a veggie with it or if the beans count.

Well it was going to be roast chicken, but TRASHCO have just cancelled my order 2hrs before the delivery was due 
I'll have a rummage through the freezer, but probably have to do something with leftovers....

TRASHCO have just cancelled my order 2hrs before the delivery was due 

Did they give you a reason, the weather? I'd certainly be sending a complaint email, that's just not right to cancel rather than reschedule.

We are having a mini roast with chicken legs, rather than the whole chicken.  I have plot spuds prepped already, braised plot red cabbage defrosting, plus swede and Yorkshire puds to go with it.  I’ll find something green (peas from the freezer  ) and also make some spoon standing.

Nearly forgot - pigs in blankets from the freezer as well, which were bought for Christmas and never used.  That’s why I am not going too mad with the roast meat element

I've sent a complaint already, as no reason was given by them, and no answer yet. I've managed to reschedule for Tuesday am, but I'm still cross about it, of course. Especially the bit where they said "You'll receive your refund in 3-5 working days" what if I didn't have the money to buy food, before then?

 That's disgusting
 Tonight i have a lge double lamb chop one of my favorites OH has chicken breast with all the trimings, fresh veg and roasties. Pud might be Choc brownie with ice cream as i made a tray of them this morning.

I would be cross as well. 

They need to explain themselves and I would hope offer you some compensation by way of vouchers.  If you had no more money to buy food, or were housebound or just stranded without a car and no shops nearby, that would be awful, but bad enough they have let you down and on a day when venturing out would not be wise.

I know at work we would be getting pulled up on that if we just cancelled from the shop.  It has happened before and severe butt kicking ensued. Even when drivers don’t show up or vans break down, we have to ring everyone to see if they want to reschedule or ditch the order and get a refund.

Let us know what excuse they give.  It will be interesting to see what they come back with.

Roast ham with a mustard & maple syrup glaze, had been slow cooked firstly ( was the joint of ham I bought for Christmas but didn’t get round to cooking so it went in the freezer) roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese ftf, peas,carrots & broccoli & I made a sauce with the cooking stock & onions, with added mustard powder & maple syrup. Very nice it was too even if I say so myself 

[Lardman]

There's a small amount of casserole left but not really enough for a meal and only a few spuds which are too small to warrant mashing, I'm doing a fresh loaf and will pick the broc out of the mixed veg- bit of a miss-match to use up bits. 

[MrsPea]

 I'm doing a fresh loaf, are you making that yourself ??
 Turkey burger chips and bake beans fruit yoghurt for pud

I'm doing a fresh loaf, are you making that yourself ??

In the bread machine MrsPea, I know but at least it's not a packet mix, If you saw my kitchen you'd understand why I'm not doing it old school.

[mumofstig]

I made a fruit loaf yesterday, after hearing about my Tesco delivery cancellation - comfort food 
I found a small container of 'curry' in the freezer, so that's defrosting for tea - not sure if it's chicken or beef though  I'll cook a veggie fried rice to stretch it 

[MrsPea]

 I regret getting rid of mine as i didn't use enough 'other half 'said get rid of it so i did BAD mistake
