The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

I stopped buying bacon because of that reason, to be honest I haven't missed it

It’s not particularly healthy anyway with all the sodium nitrite. I don’t buy it very often.

I like bacon but will only have it in the morning, it makes me so thirsty that as an evening snack it would keep me awake all night drinking.

We have the oldest 2 grand kids over night

More complicated than usual because the 7 year old - who is a little bit autistic (plus other stuff) has gone from refusing to have any breakfast

to now having to have 2 sausages and 2 rashers of bacon (plus Ketchup - he isn;t that weird) every day

luckily we had some sausages in the freezer so defrosted them last night

the oldest decided she needed a sort of bacon sandwich with extra sausage as well

I am however, rather worried about her - she wanted it with BROWN sauce
I think it may be genetic because SWMBO has bacon and sausages sandwiches with brown sauce
but it is still just plain wrong

Still - never mind - after tonight we will be better off as we are very likely to win the Omaze house this time- been sending them money for MONTHS now so it MUST be our turn to win

not sure if we should move to Surrey or just go there for an extended holiday and sell it

certainly don;t wnat to win next month as the house looks horrible - all floor to ceiling windows and it's in London!!!!

anyway - better kick the kids into some clothes before the parents turn up and think they like coming here becsause I am soft on them

(actually they never put a foot out of line because we are quite strict - but do it differently and don;t shout)


maybe drag them out for a walk bear spotting
there are a lot of bears around here - often at the end of a lead with someone holding them
I generally ask the kids to check if might be a dog

the 7 year old is starting to get too old for that - but due to his problems he is still OK with it
their younger brother loves it - although he does worry about the bears at time

anyway - better stop woffling* and get something done

I have cleaned the upstairs bathroom. I sat on the bed afterwards, then thought I would just have a bit of a rest, just swing my legs up onto the bed, just for five minutes as you do. Fast asleep before I knew it 💤😴🥱

Hmmm!

I might just slip that in at an opportune moment...

Well I won’t be rushing to buy Aldi’s bacon again. Full of water and salt. What a gunk left in the grill pan. Sometimes, it’s not worth saving money.

I buy their bacon medallions .......no fat. Done in the air frier it is very nice.
Not tried thier 'ordinary' bacon as I don't like fat.
Thier top of the range sausages are very good.
Edit
I do it on foil so no mess. I just use kitchen roll to wipe the salt stuff off. All good and simple.

I agree about Aldi bacon
Got some a few weeks ago - thick cut as usual - seemed a good price

until I tried cooking it
thick cut was about the same as Tesco normal
and it just curled up and burnt very easily

Also much less taste

Do you think that it'll go unnoticed?

I used to know someone who didn’t need that excuse for drinking all night.

That'll mean no cheesecake for you then.
