Plans for today (2025)

Felt rough for most of the day so am doing as little as possible. Have made some swede chips and coated them in honey n wholegrain mustard so I’m hoping for a semi healthy chip hit in about 20 mins or so.

Everyone’s gone to Bristol to watch the rugby (Bristol v Exeter) so I have a nice quiet house to myself 😊

We love swede here but never made a chip out of them?

Strawberries are fine, I don't mind the seeds in those, but I'm really not a fan of seeds. It's a little annoying as I love the taste of raspberries, but they are full of seeds :meh:
Same with loganberries, we had loads of those growing in my mothers garden - nice flavour (they are related to raspberries if I remember right)

Home made raspberry jam is unbelievable.

The local shop has the worst placement, I went in once in a weekday afternoon - no traffic issues, on the entry or nearby road.
Came out and was queued for 5-10 mins before I even turned out onto the main road (which was itself rammed with cars).
I can pick them up next weekend ... oh wait - that's not gonna work for you!

That’s you off my Christmas card list 😂

Chop them up and nuke them with a drop of water to soften them. Then oil them (I use ghee) and roast them in a hot oven.
Ten mins or so before the end of cooking mix a tablespoon of wholegrain mustard and a tablespoon of honey together and coat the swede chips.

They will not go crispy like chips, they are soft and a bit chewy and a bit concentrated. Lovely strong flavour, just don’t expect chip, chips if you know what I mean. Oh and don’t forget to turn them when cooking.

You can use a chipper to make them (I do) but you need to quarter and nuke the peeled swede first or it’s very difficult to get them to go through.

Well the old gal picked up a bit over the course of the day.
Her hearts beating in a sinus rhythm again and her waggy tail wanted cuddles and attention so that’s been nice.

She also took a liking to my crisps 🙄 had a decent drink of water and voluntarily took her medication. It’s likely temporary but I’ll take what I can get and be grateful!! ☺️
 
Today plan is helping my son prepare for an interview for another job he would like, it’s a big company that runs graduate schemes so he’s nervous.

Then I’m going and picking up all the click n collect stuff and doing a return (which I’ve been ignoring) so that now entails visiting five different places.

Going to try out making chicken melts (with chicken crackling) rather than tuna today. Will report back on that later 👍

The Ol’ gal seems to have turned back into Miss Precocious this morning which is just about enough to make your heart burst! 😊 🥰
 
Yesterday was a productive work day. My instinct on timing was correct and I knocked out 4 locations for this candy audit project I'm working on. I'll do 2 store visits this afternoon along with some other work in the same area--1 that involves getting Chinese takeout and another that has me evaluating a valet service at a hospital.
