I was trying out a new hairstyle yesterday - messy!
The photos have turned out a bit blurry - they were much clearer on the camera. Never mind.
As we were expecting showers I thought it was a waste of time straightening it so I just scrunched it up and let it dry naturally. Then when the rain came I could just scrunch it up again! It also has the added benefit of disguising any imperfections in my hair cutting technique, so I might try this more often!
Today I decided to get rid of the packet of sweet shortcrust pastry I bought for 20p and shoved in the freezer. So I made these:
The filling is apple puree, one of the jars I bought cheap on the internet. We ate a couple while they were still warm and they were very more-ish.
I also bunged a couple of weetabix cakes in the oven whilst I was cooking a chicken.
The patches on the top are sugar. I sprinkle a teaspoon on to make the cake taste sweeter and that means I can cut down on the sugar actually inside the cake. They aren't made with fat or eggs - just weetabix, flour, dried fruit, sugar, cinnamon and milk. I sliced them and put some in the freezer to keep for later.
The chicken will make us 3 meals and a soup and Rusty will eat any scrappy bits. Tonight we had the breast sliced, with mashed potato, mixed veg and gravy, then I pulled the rest of the meat off and froze it for later. I also froze the carcass as I couldn't be bothered to make stock with it tonight.
Tomorrow I'm having a day off from cooking. We'll be having fish fingers for tea!
