Evening all, welcome to another of my ramblings. Have a brew, maybe even a biscuit or two, take a seat and I'll begin.
I am currently a little bag of stress. It's that time of the year again...summer! The tourists are out in force and they all desend on our pub at the same time and order their food within the same five minutes...then proceed to complain when it isn't at their table with the next seven minutes, claiming they have waited to long now and they have a ferry to catch (be real, who orders food when they have to be in a ferry so soon?! Bat shit crazy people, that's who).
I am finding some therapy in an adult colouring book, which is of course Harry Potter themed. People may as colouring is for children, but it soothes me and gives me something else to focus on. It helps.
I've been very lazy food wise this week. Anthony has been I'll and has therefore spent most of his time asleep, and I have been very tired and stressed from work so I've been choosing simple easy meals (bad Charlotte, I know...I'm working in fixing it). I'm been feeling a bit low, but today I felt much better in myself. I cooked properly today for the first time since Thursday (Thursday was mince 'n' fatties, good comfort food for when Anthonts was came up for dinner). Tonight I made Bolognese. A sneakily healthy Bolognese, full of veg, here's the base I made:
I fried off onions and garlic, browned the mince, threw in a tin of chopped tomatoes and chopped up corgette, celery and a proper and grated in a carrot. So much colourful veggy goodness. Then added salt, pepper, oregano, basil and a carton of passata.
Anthony's birthday is on Wednesday, so naturally I will be making a cake. He has requested a few velvet cake with cream cheese icing. Watch this space, I will update on Wednesday with pictures of said cake.
Wednesday is also the way I am booking my flights to go and see the parents at the end of September...I am so excited, cannot wait to get this summer over and done with!
I hope you are all well this evening, and hope you have a lovely week filled with nice people and positivity. And if you don't have that, I hope you have cake. Goodnight x
