Errands have been erranded. The only thing I *couldn't* get was the leather glue, but it's not urgent, so no biggie. It can wait.

Had a quick fizz around the charity shops in town while I was at it. That was a waste of time - since re-opening after lockdown, they've gone all upmarket boutique. With prices to match. :angry: And everything is on posh display stands - think department store type thing and you get the idea. Part of the fun of charity shops was going in to have a good old furkle.

Anyways, I did get some decent YS bargains in Tesco: a split tin loaf, a dozen wholemeal rolls, a dozen eggs and four bottles of Korean-style chilli sauce.

Now for a :cuppa:

I've had a veggie spag bol for tea. It's the other ½ of the one I had a couple of days ago. It wasn't very nice then. It was even worserer 2nd time round.... 🤮

Pre made or 'home made' - TBH our Spag Bol's are 30/70 beef/veg these days, so I'm sure I could drop the beef if I wanted. Veg is a cheap filler (mushrooms, onion, courgette, tomatoes) - bulk cooking !!

Jon's been out on site a bit more now - Sheffield and Leeds, but today has been sent down to Sherbourne (near Yeovil) - small remote site, but their router etc has packed up so he's there fixing it - five hour drive, overnight etc. He's probably loving it as a £15 meal allowance will get him a decent take away - can get away with eating loads at his age.:laugh:
 
Mmm lentils are a good substitute.

Yes, they are. And tbh, once it's all cooked, it's hard to tell the difference between the lentils and the beef.

I love lentils, beans and chickpeas, and do use a lot of them in cooking. Veggie curry on the agenda for later in the week, as I've a butternut squash and some sweet potatoes that are looking a bit tired.

Speaking of, I picked up a packet of naan wraps on YS as well, so those will go well with the curry. :hungry:

I've just bought a generous knob of ginger for my own curry project for this week.

I'm guessing pre-made...

I use half beef, half green lentils in mine, plus of course there's the onion and the tomato in there too.
Home made.
Veggie 'mince', onion tomato paste, veggie stock cube & (maybe a mistake) a can of '4 Bean Salad' that needed using..

The good news is that they've removed the damaged blue netting around the building. The bad news is....
