I've been concentrating on not buying anymore bread for as long as possible and using up what I had in the freezer instead, mostly because my last loaf was used up very quickly and the last couple of slices went into the freezer when they were only suitable for toast, and I knew there were so many other bits and bobs in there too. So for this past week or so I have been taking all the random single buns etc out of the freezer and using them instead.
Yesterday I found this pack of breakfast muffins with two left in the bag, so that was breakfast sorted.
Two halves with just spread and two with a tiny bit of spread and marmalade. Gosh they were stodgy, and I won't be buying them again, even if I do spot some with yellow stickers.
Late last night just before I went to bed, there was a knock on my living room doors and Alan was stood there asking if I had any bread, he was hungry and fancied some toast. Aww poor thing ... we laughed about it this morning!! I gave him the last of the loaf from the freezer, knowing that I would be having weetabix and fruit for breakfast.
As he was going to Booths to get himself a new loaf, he suggested that we have breakfast there and both buy some bread ... so we did. Well he had a bacon bun and a coffee, and I just had a coffee. Then he paid for my bread and crisps along with his shopping and gave me the tomato sauce that he didn't use in the café.
I did quite well out of giving him my dry crusts didn't I.

I find lots of the tempting looking bread is actually very unsatisfactory to eat. We eat seeded bread and rolls mainly but what a mess they make on the kitchen floor. Suffolk Sue and I were talking about Rose’s Lee on and lime marmalade recently but I haven’t seen any for ages. Catriona
ReplyDeleteYes, I posted about Rose's marmalade recently. I get mine from Sainsbury's or Booths usually. It is lovely isn't it. 😀
DeleteI like a malted granary or seeded loaf best! Easily made if you have a bread machine... we've usually finished it before it gets to the rock hard stage.
ReplyDeleteI seem to have gone off seeded bread recently. This brown Danish is lovely and light, it's my current favourite. 😀
DeleteOne good turn deserves another as they say!
ReplyDeleteYears ago if I had tail ends of bread accumulating in the freezer I would have made a huge bread pudding, these days I'd never burn the calories off if I ate that sort of thing so OH usually ends up with the crusts to dip in soup.

I've started turning some of my crusts into garlic breads to either eat with pasta or for dunking into soup. Gosh it's years since I've made a bread pudding, I only used to like the crunchy top bits though, not the soggy under the custard milk part ... so that's probably why. 😄
DeleteYou two are a great team
ReplyDeleteHaha ... we really are. We've been complimenting each other's foibles for over twenty years now.
DeleteThat sounds like a very fair trade-off! x
ReplyDeleteHaha, very fair for me especially. Mind you the midnight munchies are a real emergency aren't they. 😄
DeleteWell done.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
😀 xx
DeleteNow you have extra bread should Alan need some bread to toast! :)
ReplyDeleteHe bought himself a HUGE loaf, so he should be fine now. 😄
DeleteI can't work out your relationship with Alan and why he lives next door. Don't answer if I am being intrusive.
ReplyDeleteI have explained it so many times in the comments. Basically, he's my husband, we chose to live like this for now as it suits us and our lifestyle. Alan worked at the other side of the country from the very beginning of our relationship over 20 years ago when we first met, and really we just got used to having lots of time for each of us to do the things that we like to do, we are very different people in a lot of ways and very similar in a few. It suits us and that is the main thing.
