DH thinks I've lost the plot.

I think you’ve e posted on the wrong thread baubles?

Yes forward planning! Smile and nod! 😃

Good morning from cold and frosty South Lanarkshire.

Kalu I do feel for you, pain medication makes me very fuzzy headed too. Hope you feel better soon.

Your energy levels put me to shame gM

Can’t remember if I commented on your nails Bella but they are fabulous.

I’m off to meet another Lanarkshire Gransnetter this morning, looking forward to it.

If any Scottish grans are interested there’s a little snippet this evening on Craft Christmas at Beechgrove. It was filmed a few weeks ago, talking about our yarn group’s Christmas Angel project. Great fun to see how the programme is made, the team was with us for over four hours but will probably result in a four minute clip.

Wishing everyone the best day possible.

I could have written your OP kitty 🤣

Yes, and me

Shelf life couldn’t pass by without giving you a virtual hug and a bunch of flowers for your comment. 💐. Hope you have a lovely Christmas.

Whenever my DH goes out on his own, even just to buy the paper, he comes back with liquorice. I mean why? I know he likes it but we have bags of it now. He always says he buys it’in case’ .

My DH hasn't the faintest idea what's in the freezer,! and that is not the result of his Alzheimer's diognosis, he has always been like that. Sadly now he forgets which is the fridge and which is the freezer! I keep smiling and soldier on !!

and doesn't like cottage pie.

Oh, none of them!
Sorry.

My husband just wouldn't eat it. He's a fussy bugger and doesn't like cottage pie. I quite fancy a M&S cottage pie.

Mine prefers the one I make (so do I) but sometimes there's just not enough time.
The Gastropub ones are good. Decant it into one of your own dishes 😀

Mine would just eat it, no questions asked!

My DH wouldn’t know I already had one in the freezer!

Surely, kittylester, you put the newly bought cottage pie in the freezer and ate the suitably defrosted frozen one?

That's men's logic, that is.
The other one wouldn't have defrosted in time!

Do you have a community fridge Doodledog? They take fresh food, unlike food banks.

No, but we have freezers

I won't waste anything, but it is so much easier when people don't try to be helpful without asking what would actually help!

I saw someone had made pigs-in-blankets-in-the-hole the other day - we could think up new recipes to use them up 😁

Many years ago my Dad called in one day to see his mum, my Granny.
He found her baking cakes in the kitchen 😋
She didn't offer him one though, as they were all for the freezer 🤨
He found that odd 😁

The mince pies will all need testing.

Not sure about all the pigs in blankets 😁

Mine has been to Costco, and very kindly brought back a huge pack - five (5!!) - trays of pigs in blankets, which I have already ordered from Donald Russell for the one meat eater other than me who will be here at Christmas. He also brought back industrial quantities of mince pies, when there are several dozen of them in the freezer/kitchen.

He means well so it's hard to get cross, but what am I going to do with a million pigs in blankets when I usually cook veggie food and there will be only two meat eaters in residence on Christmas day?

M&S Cottage pie is delicious!

kittylester

I went to our local M&S to buy stuff for Christmas and brought home a Cottage Pie for tonight's meal.

DH couldn't work out why I bought one while we have one in the freezer.

My view is that we still have one in the freezer for any eventuality.

Because the one in the freezer wasn't defrosted!
Simplest!

Did you buy any Christmas cheeses?

So you did achieve your mission plus a bonus cottage pie. I've often called into our very large M&S for one particular item and come home with ten things I didn't need, minus the thing I did.

And....? Seems perfectly sensible to me
