Rainy Sunday

Today is overcast, wet and dreary...what to do? I had planned to go to the market to buy a plant, probably a cyclamen which I love, but I don´t feel like traipsing around in the rain. So I decided to be virtuous and batch cook something for the freezer and what better than a one-pan Mexican quinoa dish. I love Mexican food.

This dish takes far longer to prepare the many ingredients than it does to cook so it kept me busy for a while but it is done now and cooling before I divide it up into portions and freeze it. Smells good!



It is now nearly midday and I am still in my pjs. Oh dear, never mind, one of the joys of living alone is you can occasionally be a slob if you feel like it, but I think I´ll have a shower now followed by a spot of lunch. Then this afternoon, since it is chilly, I believe it will be duvet and Kindle time. I certainly know how to live!

  1. There's a lot to be said about being on your own. I miss having my time sometimes.

    1. I´m sure you do, Briony, we all need a bit of "own" time now and then.

  2. Just the sort of day to please Toby as well - especially the duvet!

    1. Although Toby loves strokes and fuss he isn´t really a cuddly dog. He won´t stay on my lap and if I put him on the bed after a couple of minutes he starts creeping towards the edge on his elbows. Then I have to lift him down before he tries to jump and breaks a leg. Even in his own bed if I try to cover him when it is chilly he crawls out from under the blanket!
