Comforting Food

Breakfasted on one fried sausage, one fried egg and one fried fat tomato. Two slices of toast for added crunch. Recently I've been bored witless by breakfasts, and no wonder as they consisted of lack-lustre cereals like Weetabix and Muesli. Even making my own muesli did nothing to burn away the winter blues. Added to the fact that I'm nearly keeling over through lack of fuel and feeling more and more melancholic. I need something more substantial I thought...... going on to listen as the sausage sizzled and the egg set.

Later on.......In Morrisons

 I bought a pack of ready made puff pastry It'll be ideal for apple turnovers. Hot from the oven with custard. Tinned fruit be it ever so healthy can be ever so dull, what I yearn for are puddings.

I bought a small bag of mange tout, something I rarely buy, but knew would go well with tonight's dinner of Orlando Beef and buttered potatoes. The little 'eat all' veggies are a secret desire/love of mine but being prohibitively priced I usually plump for frozen peas.

I'm looking forward to dinner tonight.
Spicy orangey beef casserole with small buttered potatoes and mange tout followed by chocolate up and over pudding with chocolate custard.

A raspberry jelly sits in the fridge and there it will stay.
