Still no shopping done

Managed to eat this week without doing a shop. Will have to shop tomorrow though as the fridge and cupboards are nearly bare. Girls have moaned every day about the lack of food in the house. I told them they just have no imagination on how to create a meal with very little. I made some soup for my lunch today and have enough for two more meals. I made up a spicy carrot and lentil  soup which I thought was lovely. Daughter No2 was not interested in soup for lunch when offered some." I want something to eat, not drink" was her reply. She ended up eating a bowl of cereal instead. I made my soup as follows and it's very cheap to make, about 42p the whole panful.

SPICY CARROT & LENTIL SOUP

1 onion, chopped
300g carrots chopped
1 stock cube
100g red lentils
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground garam masala
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1 small hot chilli
1 litre hot water
Salt & pepper to taste

Just throw everything into a pan and cook for about 20 minutes until veg is soft then blitz.

It made a lovely hot spicy soup because I leave the chilli seeds in.

For our evening meal I found half a block of puff pastry in the freezer so thawed this to make the girls a cheese, potato and onion pasty to have with leftover coleslaw from yesterday and some homemade chips. No picture as they ate it before I remembered about a picture. I steered clear of the pasties and opted for a mushroom omelet with a jacket potato with dieting. So I'm down to two little potatoes in the sack so need to visit the farm tomorrow for another sack of potatoes. Milk should last until I get to the shops tomorrow. Nothing left to really make a proper meal with now. I'm out of tinned tomatoes so can't  rustle up a tomato sauce to have with a bag of pasta I have. Got the grandaughters coming this weekend so I had better stock up on a bit of food to last us until Monday which is payday and the beginning of my March grocery challenge.If I only had to feed myself I know I could live very cheaply and not have to shop often.

Loving the gorgeous warm day we've had today here in Yorkshire. I was actually very warm on my walks with the dog. The evenings are lighter for longer and it feels so spring like today. Hubby sent a  text from Guernsey to say he hopes he can fly back tomorrow because there have been no flights in or out of Guernsey all day.
