So, What Were My Plans for the Onions?

 

I was asked via email what my plans for the food, specifically the onions were.  Well the red onion was immediately cut into to add to a 'wrap quiche'.

Halfway through preparing it I remembered something I had to tell Alan, so I nipped round to tell him, only to find him sat at his kitchen table tearing up bread for the birds.  Now I knew that particular loaf was only about a week old as we had bought it to take on holiday with us, so I cadged the last two slices and left him tearing up the end crusts.  

Sorry birds, my frugal needs are greater than yours ... anyway you shouldn't be eating too much bread!!

The quiche came out perfectly, well better than my last effort when the eggs seeped under the wrap, effectively gluing some of the wrap to the tin ... now that took some soaking and scrubbing!!

I had a nice sit down watching an episode of Signora Volpe on television and eating my dinner.

The plan I had for my two nabbed slices of bread was a nice simple tuna, onion and cheese toastie, as this would use up the last of this packet of cheese and some more of the onion.

Which seems very similar to the quiche but in fact tasted completely different.

I now have half a tin of tuna and the rest of the onion to use up.  As you can see each meal from the fridge moves me forward using cupboard items which then get added to the fridge and this is why although I have been eating this way for a couple of weeks the fridge has not yet emptied.

I do seem to be very good these days at making things go a long way and last a long time, as this tin of chocolate balls shows.  These were bought HERE just before Christmas and I still have the last four to eat.  Or maybe, because I have now noticed them they will all vanish this week, but even if they do, keeping chocolate in the house for over five months must surely be a new record for me.  😁
