Ivor’s Daily Gallivant
Saturday April 15 2023
I still haven’t thrown off this cold and am wondering if it’s covid: so ( after treating myself to a shower) phoned the Pharmacy to see what the procedure was for picking up a test kit. The test kits don’t amount to a lot and cost £2 which was expensive.
I phoned Margret and told her I had a really bad cold and was testing for covid to make sure I was safe.
Before I got up this morning I was thinking about food: cooking it and eating it. Last night I coated the beef for my stew in flour mixed with salt, pepper and mixed herbs. In the frying plan I was cooking the onions and when they were done I spooned them into the slow cooker: taking each piece out individually and placed it in the olive oil.
I saw a YouTube video about microwaving sweet potatoes and bought some coconut oil cinnamon and kitchen paper so I could try it.
As I cooked the beef : I put each of the pork chops from the family pack into a separate plastic bag and put the bags in the top of the freezer. In the frying plan I put dissolved an OXO cube and added the remaining flour and used my balloon whisk to stop lumps forming .
Next I added a tin of chopped tomato and chilli, and once everything was properly mixed added it to the meat and onions. And finally added some chestnut mushrooms, the remains of a jar of English mustard and some Worcesters sauce.
It was going to be a meal like no other.
I ate some with a microwaved jacket potato and put the remainder of the mixture in two foil dishes: and put them in the freezer for when they were needed.
By evening I’d still got my cold and was tired. So I had another cup of tea and went to bed.
