Relaxed weekend

Monday 4th December 2023

We managed to get Aryn out for a couple of hours to celebrate his birthday and he had a burger which looked amazing to be honest!  I've been fancying a burger for a few weeks now so I'll have one this week.  We opted for the 28oz Cote de boeuf sharing experience and we weren't disappointed, absolutely delicious.  None of us had starters or desserts as the meal was more than enough.  

Now those calories are for what comes on the plate I'm assuming because all the additions have different calories.  I opted for sauteed greens and he chose fries, which I had some of.  I adore their beef dripping sauce and it's more than worth 126 calories, I'd buy that by the jar tbh.  We choose the bacon and honey mustard and the garlic may & grana padano wedges but didn't eat them all.  Mine was under 2,000 calories, I drove but had wine when I got home see how easy it is to whack up those calories, starters and dessert would've doubled those calories.  Worth it as a treat though!

 

After waking up to snow yesterday, we closed the door and curtains and snuggled down for the day enjoying some good tv.  This weekend we've enjoyed a few films Poster Man, Above the Clouds and In the Land of Saints and Sinners, then we started a series on Netflix called Obliterated which we are really enjoying, the second half we can watch next weekend.  The thing with tv is you like what you like and I enjoy a variety of stuff from serious to damn right puerile, just because I enjoy it, I don't expect others too, so if you don't like it, that's okay, turn it off, don't be commenting on my Facebook posts saying 'It's shit' like someone did last night, once again if you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say anything at all, or at best be a little more constructive in your comments! 

Yeah we had a very chilled weekend, leftover stew was our dinner so I didn't even have to cook, I made bacon sarnies for breakfast and that was me done.  I did do the washing up so the kitchen isn't a mess this morning which is great news. 

I'm so glad the snow has gone, long live the rain I say, unless I don't have to go anywhere at all, I'm not a snow fan at all.  

What to eat this week?  I need to really think about fibre content but also cost, there's a lot of leftover potatoes in the fridge so I'm gonna make a dirty cheese and potato pie I think, basically leave the skins on for added fibre, normally I'd have it with baked beans but Aryn had beans yesterday, what else do you serve it with? Fish fingers maybe and a bit of salad, make the potato pie part of the dish rather than the main bit.  Ooo I have a toad in the hole in the freezer that would work with some greens too.

It's too early to be thinking food I guess isn't it, nah it's never too early for thinking about food :) 

I'm gonna catch up on I'm a celeb and enjoy another cuppa, then I'll start my day, it's not even 6am yet and I've been up over an hour already, gotta love Monday mornings!

Here's to a marvelous Monday and a wonderful week, 3 weeks today it'll be Christmas! YAY!

Mwah, luv ya 

Love me xx
