Continuing Quiet

The perfume that spawned a dozen bullet proof vest adverts has arrived.

It's described as 'Wild Bluebell' but it's very light and I'd describe it as less 'wild' and more 'slightly miffed'. I like that sort of fragrance as I can keep refreshing it without it saturating the room which is incredibly refreshing in hot weather. And at least the adverts are tapering off. 

I made dinner tonight. Monday to Thursday, DH has pasta bake and bear does his own thing. I make dinner on Friday, Saturday is mainly sandwiches with fancy fillings for the men and something easy for me. DH and bear make dinner on Sunday and it's a way of bear getting into the habit of cooking before he goes away. Sunday is a day for following recipes. I am a little less rigid. For example, tonight was a sausage traybake. It asked for the root veg medly that they sold all last winter, but there's nothing like that in Tesco at the moment. I remembered the contents, though, and loaded up with a swede (rutabaga), carrots, parsnip and onion. The recipe asked for beetroot, but none of us really like them so I left them out and instead added extra carrots and parsnip. The sausages were the gluten free cumberland sausages instead of the low fat ones, and it should probably have been spread thinner, but it was still delicious. The men practically inhaled it. 

It's becoming one of my favourite things - I love looking at the recipes on Tesco and checking with DH and bear about their preferences. We've been trying all sorts.

Hugs and good health to all.
