CBH is away again looking after her "Aged Mum" at her holiday home down in the West Country so I have been left alone with just the cats and myself to feed. The cats are easy to feed: three pieces of white fish for breakfast, a bag of frozen prawns (unfrozen of course) for lunch, three tins of cat food for whenever they are hungry and several pieces of boiled chicken for tea.
Me, well while I like cooking, frankly after a day at work, I can't be bothered to do anything complicated so I tend to live on salads, jacket potatoes and or the odd chippy supper. However, tonight I fancied a curry but rather than make it, or get a take away, I purchased some ready made stuff from Tescos which is ready to re-heat and eat. I am not a big fan of ready meal as they are expensive and normally full of salt/sugar, two things I try to avoid.
Well that was the plan.....Sadly it didn't turn out that way and my task now before I eat is to clean the Aloo Sag I dropped into the washing machine. Little did I know that the plastic container the foodstuff was held in would not take heating in the microwave, despite the fact that the cooking instructions suggested it would. I should have put the food in a bowl and used that but sadly, I wanted to avoid doing the washing up.
I think from now on until CBH returns on Friday, I will stick to salads...
