Our menu this week started with sausage kebabs. N requested
kebabs after watching ‘I Can Cook’, so how could I refuse. I cut up the veg and N
and I threaded the kebabs together. I made my own version of a barbecue glaze
and we had a very nice dinner thank you.
I also experimented with store cupboard stables as beauty products again.
Currently, bicarb, vinegar and oats are all featured in my toilet bag, but now
I’ve also added tea – to dye my hair! I use the no-poo method of washing my
hair and so I didn’t want to ruin that regime with chemical hair dye, but I’ve
just had a fringe cut in and now a few straggly grey hairs loom on my forehead.
So after a quick google around I decided tea would be just the thing. And it
worked. OK, so I know there are still grey hairs there, but they are far less
visible and from what I can gather, regular use of tea as a treatment works
best. In fact, mix in a bit of sage and it works even better. All I did was
brew up some really strong tea and rinse my hair in it after I washed it. I
left this rinse in and let me hair dry. Brilliant.
Anyway, here’s this week’s menu.
Saturday – Veggie Sausage kebabs with rice and salad
Sunday – Nut roast (freezer) with roast parsnips, carrots,
sprouts and green beans
Monday – Vegetable and bean stew and dumplings
Tuesday – Vegetable chilli and rice
Wednesday – Cauliflower cheese grills (S)/Bean burger (me
and N) and chips
Thursday – Stroganoff
Friday – Tarka Dhal
and homemade onion bhajis.
