I just woke up in front of TV and fell asleep again. Half an hour later I woke up when Julia called to see where I was. Instead of going to bed I had to go and make sandwiches. It’s not a big job in general, but in the early hours, when you want to go to bed, it’s a dreadful job.
Of course, I( then woke up and decided I ought to blog. Bad idea, but that’s what happens after you wake yourself up by making sandwiches at 2am.
Being virtuous, I didn’t make any for myself. I will come home at 1am because it’s my new half day, and I will eat the fried rice I made for tea. I made too much. Under my new weight loss regime I no longer stuff myself by eating half of all I cook, I use self-discipline to eat a proper portion and keep the rest for later.
It was good fried rice, which used several ingredients from the back of the freezer, including a block of prawns with severe freezer burn and a ball of ice and peas. We really should pay more attention to food storage.
I also solved a mystery when I discovered where Julia stores ingredients she doesn’t like. I have ordered more red lentils this week because I thought we had none, but tonight I found them, with the pearl barley, wedged behind the bread maker. She says she was just storing them, but I say it’s strange how everything there seems to be something she doesn’t like me using.
