During the lockdown I went totally off the rails............... ..

I baked a French loaf for my Granddaughter today so I am complicit in her going off the rails. I this child abuse?

Dark chocolate ginger biscuits from Morrisons! OH found them in boxes of six on Amazon and I became addicted! I have managed to kick the habit and have shed the 7lbs of chocolate ginger that gathered round my middle but I won't give up the home made bread OH makes. Life has to have some meaning and bread is the staff of life, after all!

I have no restraint. If I have chocolate (or dark chocolate covered ginger ice cream ....or biscuits ....or gooseberry fools....the list is endless ) in the house then I no longer have them after one evening.
When you live on your own there’s nobody to see how greedy you are....?

At first I did go overboard for choc chip cookies, dunked in hot chocolate. How decadent was that? But I eventually found that chocolate left a nasty taste - even the good stuff. I'd put on a lot of weight and have now taken it off again.

One food I can't ration is Wensleydale with cranberries. I am quite capable of eating it like a piece of cake, just one little bit then another and sometimes it's gone by the next day. I don't buy it often!

These. ❤️

And malt whisky. Started enjoying pre-Christmas with my (Scottish) stepfather. A wee dram or two some afternoons has really hit the spot.
Time to kick the habit now I think.

Summer weather = gin & tonic with ice and a slice anyway ha!

Bread butter and jam is my weakness or crackers and pate if there is any in the house.

My absolute favourite is bread jam and clotted cream, but rarely buy cream so that is very infrequent.

I ‘ve had a problem with cream because having learned to make sauces during lockdown meant I was buying cream and then having it with other things: in coffee etc. Yes and Wensleydale and cranberries. Usually a Christmas treat and eaten in the blink of an eye. Usually with digestive biscuits.

Insanity in triplicate. I love it. Thanks all.

I'm Goody Two Shoes
I bought some prepared fresh fruit from M&S yesterday
and ate some this evening
⭐? ?

With clotted cream icecream

Now you’re talking Calli!

Fish finger sandwiches on white buttered bread with ketchup. Requires a bit of kitchen roll to catch the drips. Yummy. I mean proper frozen fish fingers, not the ‘posh’ type.

A particular granula bar which arrives fresh each morning in my local Co-Op corner shop.

Yes my newly adopted rescue cat. Really - I went off the rails because she found a hole behind the toilet I didn't know was there and I have hollow walls so that the space between can be filled with glass fibre to keep the heat in. It goes the full length of my bathroom and the bathroom in the next door flat. She stayed in there for 3 weeks (of the rails yes) and I had to get the RSPCA to get her out. We didn't realise where she was for a week (so no food) then we started putting food out in the bathroom at night. The cat trap got her and we had borrowed a cage in the sitting room to put her in so she could settle. I was so distressed my daughter sent me to stay with a friend in Dorset for a few days whilst she looked after drama queen Mimi.

Sago I wish you lived next door! Thanks for cheering up my morning!

Re-discovered sliced white bread recently when it was prescribed as part of a diet before a medical procedure. Yummy toasted. I've unconsciuosly uncoupled from GnT, just lost the taste for it during lockdown. Sad.

Oh you have put a smile on my face this morning. Thank you.

Bread-how can I resist the hot baguettes at out local supermarket, with the President mentioned on the previous page.
My SIL tried to lead me astray by sending a Cornish hamper with Cornish clotted cream. Please don’t tell me you can buy it in the North!

Over the last year DH actually has perfected his sourdough bread. Both white and brown versions. It's such tasty bread that at least one half of the loaf has to be frozen, as soon as it's cooled from the oven. Otherwise we'd eat it all, immediately....

Well bread has always been my weakness, even if a "let them eat cake!" directive was issued, and as much as I like cake, homemade of course, it would still be bread that I would dream of.

Sine the lockdown, I have discovered I do love thick Greek yogurt, none of that "Greek style yogurt" rubbish or reduced fat Greek yogurt.........no neither cut it, and of course to the yogurt, one has to add lashings some honey but I mitigate any unhealthy elements by adding hazelnuts, or so I tell myself! Why even Gwynnie should approve of such fare!

Lol you don’t know what you missing. You can’t beat a chip butty with sauce on now question is are you brown or red ???

Toasted fruit loaf or naughty white bread, with lashings of real BUTTER on them.....chocolate.....living in M&S wide leg joggers and Seasalt long sleeve tops. The rumour that I have bought every colour is...misleading. Chocolate, did I say that?

Plants? Lindt.

I too have discovered the delight of white bread (which I never ate before covid) toasted with lashings of butter and occasionally honey!!

By the way, you seem to think Sago has said some good things. I personally think some of her post was a bit rude. Am I the only one?

Fish finger sandwiches for me too, Grandmajet, but I prefer tartare sauce to ketchup. We have them on a day when we have the GC, so I have the excuse that I'm cooking fish fingers anyway. Yummy!
