Can We Take A Moment To Talk About Food

This is potentially the third love of my life behind family and friends. Although to look at my fridge, you might not think it...
(Condiments and alcohol.... that's about right)
If I was a rich girl… nah nah nah nananana nahh….
Then I would make it my mission to try and eat at every restaurant around the world. I might end up as big as a house but I would be content and happy.
When living as a party of 1, the appeal of prepping something delicious with all the effort it takes, diminishes quite quickly. By the time you have made sure you have the right ingredients, gone shopping for the ones you don’t have or found a worthy substitute within the cupboard, prepped cooked and plated you have lost you appetite altogether. Right?
Yes you can save the rest for lunch but what would the locally deli do without your business??? Plus the walk to see Vera is much needed time away from the office.
This is where you either make a conscious decision to meal prep, be skint and live off takeaways OR like me, you bulk buy things from Costco. Yes ladies (or gents) if your other half is in the forces go get them signed up for a Costco card. They qualify and your life will never be the same again! Anyway back to dinners….
You may be eating the same easy cook meal 5 nights on the trot, but my god does it save time and effort. This obviously doesn’t include the 6th food group, alcohol. Which once you have drunk 5 pints, you’re full anyway. My go-to food staple: the humble Costco Prawn Dumpling.
Not the northern kind, the Asian kind. At £9 per 1kg bag, they are the cheapest form of takeaway you will ever find. I eat that many I could well turn into one. A close second would be quick cook pasta and a WHOLE garlic flat bread but this I try to save for special occasions.
To clarify, I am not advocating a healthy well-balanced diet here, just in case you were wondering this was a great alternative to slimming world. BUT am I the only one that lives like this? I think not….. ?
