Wor Lass keeps coming home with Kingsmill 50-50 when she goes bread shopping.

I don’t understand how I can find satisfactory bread whenever I go but she can only find this excuse when she shops.

Made my roasties in ghee yesterday as detailed in the Sunday dinner thread. Were very good.

We had ‘vitamin enriched’ bread as a sub last week, don’t feel particularly more alive but :person_shrugging: was fine.

Used penne instead of spaghetti last night. Bit of a compromise, but I’m a grown up so only bitched and moaned about it for 15-25 minutes #makedo
