Shopping
I really think i need to go shopping as I’ve managed to reduce my shopping list to one entry: everything. Dinner tonight will be spicy pickled onions if I don’t. Tempting prospect but without cheese, and possibly a nice crisp green apple a little unfulfilling… and I think I’ve just worked out what dinner will be ![]()




Hmm don’t think your insides can be too great .. lollies, sherberts and other sour sweets followed by pickled onions!
Yes - hence the requirement for shopping in order to buy proper food
The secret is - The Store Cupboard. One should always have tins of tuna, tins of minced beef and onions (with frozen mash makes a fabulous and extremely quick cottage pie), tins of soup - tomato, mulligatawny and perhaps one expensive pouch of something like lobster bisque, plus tins, jars, sachets or whatever of something to go with pasta. The above must not be regarded as Fresh Food, thus when the Fresh Food has gone you still have to make yourself go shopping to replenish the Fresh Food, but at least the choice left in the Store Cupboard beats just pickled onions.
SainsAsdaMorTes, however, is a dire way to spend an evening. One should always be rewarded for going - a slightly better bottle of wine, an indulgent chocolate, or, if you have access to a superstore, an addition to the wardrobe. Have fun.
Ah, you mean the tins of Mulligatawny soup (now eaten), past’n’sauces (eaten), baked beans (eaten), frozen spag bol (eaten) and frozen ready meals (eaten) that were in the house a couple of weeks ago when I desperately needed to go shopping and started my holiday a day early so I didn’t have to? Yeah, I’ve been living off them since I got back from holiday. Still not been shoppoing
Today will be a small shop, large shop will be done Sunday if I can blah a lift in someones car.
Sounds like a lot of effort, can’t you just shop online and have them drop it off or something?
I dislike online shopping (unless it’s Ocado and they don’t deliver to this place). Anyway, all done and I now have food for about 3 weeks
