I`ve been so bloody good the past week, using up all the contents of the fridge and freezer, using up all those dodgy tins that you normally leave for the donation to the Harvest Festival, cos you just know you are never going to eat tinned mince or luncheon meat – quite frankly I would rather eat my own toe nails!
But, needs must and all that – January is a tough month so it`s time to tighten your belts and make a few sacrifices to get through to pay day.
I`ve paid my penance for overspending in December and I’m really pleased and proud that I`ve managed to feed a family of 6, plus 2 doggies and a cat on next to nothing – well basically I haven’t cooked anything 😜
Jeffrey just rang “I’m going to be late back from work honey” he informed me “didn’t want dinner to be spoilt”
“bhahahahahahahahaha😄 What dinner is that then Jeff?”
How funny – my lovely husband lives in hope 😄
Now where the fuck is the Chinese Menu ………………
I’ve, um, heard if you park next to the McDonald’s drive thru, when breakfast turns to lunch and when around 2am hits, they take unpurchased food out there to dispose. If I’m quick I can – I mean, if one is quick, one can sometimes get it while it is still warm.

Fried SPAM is so good though. But SPAM is premium luncheon meat.

This is not to bring you down. I promise that’s not my intent; but I would gladly trade places with you. I can, and often do eat out (and not fast food). It’s either that or stay home for another lonely meal. My wife passed a few years back, and my boys are in other states, so I yearn for the days of a packed house and many mouths to feed.
However, as a writer, artist, and musician I’m a people watcher. So I find joy and inspiration going out to eat and watching others moving along at their hectic paces while a calmly sit back and reflect.

We have spent our last bit of money on getting food for the last four days. Thanks to OCD we have gone 2 months without shopping, apart from fruit and veg, it has driven me damn crazy, but needs must

2 months! Wow I’m impressed 😁 I think I’ve lost a few stone in weight this January by not eating crappy food – unfortunately I love crappy food too much 😨

I love Chinese, really love it. I buy everything in 4’s, one for each week, but how often does anyone use a bottle of bleach in a week, so we always have 4, food wise (meat and fish) I am not sure how we managed that, but for the last week, we have been going through the tin stuff, padding it out, eating the leftovers from the freezer. I am now in a great place to defrost the freezer before starting again

I need a relatively full freezer and fridge to give me some inspiration and imagination to cook 😁 I would happily eat Chinese every day 😁
