Peas and More Peas ... But Such Good Value!


Hello there ...
beginning of another week ... where do the days go to ..

A nice young mad delivered my Approved Food order today ...
and carried right into the house ... how great is that ..
its all so easy.


 There perhaps wasn't a great many items as other times .. but of course the weight was in the tins and sack of flour and I only spent £25 all in.
Huge tins of mushy peas ... and just £1 each.



 Whilst I was putting it away it gave me chance to sort out the cupboards .... fill up the everyday jars ... rotate stocks and get a grip of just what I have got ... which happens to be ...lots of curry 'mix in paste-y' things.
So lots of curries on the horizon ...

Now at the moment we have a problem with a 'visitor'  ... I think he has clogs on and lives in the roof space. We have never had mice in the house before ... and to be honest .. this is bigger than a mouse.
How.. why or where .. we don't know .. but they (water board) were doing work on the drains in the road last week .. so maybe they have disturbed something then ....
Hubby P has gone into full battle mode ... the house is wired up like a don't know what ... 
the cat ..
well she's sleeping like a baby ....not a bit interested ... not her problem!

Luckily all foodstuffs are kept in jars and tins .. and I managed to get the big sack of flour in the green enamel bread bin.



I tackled one of the tins of peas .... they are just fine ... mushy peas ... whats to say!
As you can see I had 4 plastic pots handy so I lined them with freezer bags ... filled them .. put them in the freezer. Tomorrow I will take them out of the plastic pots (so I can use the pots again .. the 'blocks' of peas will stack nicely in the freezer.
The remainder of the peas .. well some we had with our gammon for tea and the rest went into a big pot of soup. 



 The flour looks good  .. lets hope so since I bought a whole great sack of it.


I made a soda bread for Hubby P ... we've yet to try it ...
it looks nice and rustic ...
and smells good and wholesome ..

Just what our warrior needs ... 
I do hope our visitor leaves before it comes to a showdown ...

But needs must .. we can have vermin in the house.

Take care xx
