Porridge + cuppa - 11p
Lunch was another standard from the soup we made a few weeks ago. Lentil soup with the funny chicken stock cubes. Interestingly we're not taking anything in to work apart from the soup these days and we're coping a lot better and not feel so hungry. Our bodies must be adjusting to the lack of calories during the day.
Lentil Soup - 14p
Less tortuous day today for me doing headshots of young actors and not food related although I did have to do a bit of processing of some food shots late afternoon which got me thinking of dinner by 3pm. Tonight's plan was to use the frozen fish for a curry as we still have a jar of curry sauce left which will do 2 meals. Mary wasn't keen on the idea of fish curry and to be honest neither was I. We've both kind of put ourselves off the fish. Even when I suggested veg curry I could tell she had gone off the idea of a curry. Plan B was to swap tonight's and tomorrow night's dinner.
So tonight's dinner was fried eggs, beans and chips.
... and the finished dish with another cameo from my thumb.
Interestingly the chips are pretty cook and even more so when you give them a sprinkle of chilli powder which I think I have used in every dinner since we started. The consideration with the chips is a bit like a lot of the other food we've bought in terms of the impact on the environment, the welfare of the animals before they were slaughtered and is the supplier been screwed over by the big supermarkets. The chips for example had palm oil in them. The supply of palm oil in a lot of cases comes from deforested areas which have caused the displacement of endangered species like Orangutan.

Eggs, beans and chips - 29p (plus a dead Orangutan on our conscious)
And standing down off my environmentalist's "sustainable wooden box" we're now about to head off for our nightly walk with Bails so we can get back in for "Eat Well for Less" and see if this week's family can outdo the ridiculous £300 a week shop of last week's family of four.
Our treat tonight though is a real treat .... toasted cheese with the wee big cheddar we have left.
