I Had To Work On Tuesday.  Full timers or those of you who normally work a run of consecutive days, I don’t know how you do it or how I ever did it for as long as I did.  I had to rearrange my days this week which meant that I was at work on what has normally been my day off for the last 3 years.  The promise of a kind of ‘mid week weekend’ with Wednesday and Thursday off this week did little to ease the fatigue.  It must be old age setting in early.  Or that getting stuck into a routine and refusing to budge that I love doing (but am trying to change).

I revisited The Burpee this week and they were actually fun.  Possibly because I only had to one at a time between sets of other exercises…  But still, points for trying.

I’ve also faced facts and realised that I’ll never in a million years remember my favourite slow cooker recipe (Lamb Obsession) despite it being so simple.  So I’ve just printed it out and put it through the laminator for safe keeping.

It’s been an exciting (relatively speaking) week in food for SSG Manor 2.0.  I made Chinese Spaghetti Bolognese and gave myself a huge pat on the back for serving Preschooler SSG a ‘noodle’ dinner that for once didn’t contain a bag of highly processed instant noodles.  We both really enjoyed this Chinese take on pasta.  There’s more bite and firmness to pasta than most noodles and the texture worked well with the thicker mince based sauce.  The flavour was very authentic too.  Be warned though that it can get a bit salty if using regular chicken stock.

I didn’t make the sauce that goes with the fish but made potato wedges instead.

How could I have eaten frozen wedges for so long when these wedges are just as easy to prepare?

How’s your week been?

Cooked anything interesting for dinner?
