I have only been in a shop three times since the start of covid. Twice, to Boots, for my eye test and to collect my new glasses, and once, recently, to a farm shop. We were out for the day, by Loch Lomond, with a friend, and stopped at the farm shop to get ice creams, and dh said it was so long since I'd been in a shop that I should come in.
Ohhhh I had a lovely time - so many delicious things to choose - I kept finding more things I fancied, and handing them to him, and then left him to pay for them all. I doubt I'll be let loose shopping in an actual shop any time soon - lol.
I've just finished writing next week's menu, and doing the supermarket order for next Saturday. I am doing my best to think of things that are OK for diabetes (or, as they call it in Scotland - the Dying Betty's). I have got a diabetes cook book on kindle, and the Hairy Bikers diet cook book, but as dh does all the cooking, I need him to look through them and see what he fancies cooking - it seems a bit unfair for me to choose something that he might find too complicated at the end of the work day.
We did have one of Nadiya Hussein's recipes a while ago - from her new programme. It was a roast chicken, covered with spices and roasted on a bed of aubergine, onions, chickpeas and lemon slices - and it was utterly delicious! She said you could blitz up the left over veg and chickpeas into a sort of hummus, but I just had them cold, with some of the chicken. I will send the recipe to the gerbils and quokkas, so they can put it on the Bluestocking's menu.
