Indian ready meals from waitrose tonight, they have a 1/2 price offer on some of their dishes, got chicken korma with rice, chicken tikka masala and rice, 2 naan breads and a side selection pack of 4 veg samosas, 4 veg pakoras, and 4 onion bajee's, all for ~£7
What's your verdict? I find the Waitrose stuff pretty tasty but not massively spicy and flavorsome

Got a pie in the oven at the moment but currently munching some mixed olives I just hand selected and put into a large pot. There's very large ones near the bottom with Jalapeno peppers which are awesome, some with lemon dressing, feta cheese, some others, and red pepper stuffed with cream cheese. Nom nom!

I made some homemade pizza. Took pics but cba putting them up right now. It was pretty amaizing and got another one left in the fridge for tomorrow and rest of the dough went to the freezer as made enough for 8 pizzas or so when there is only 2 of us lol.
So much better than take out would have been...

Had one earlier, way too much sauce on mine, literally dripping off the burger, all over the box and on top of the bun too.

Dundee cake with a cup of tea.

Tikka biryiani. This is my new fav curry. So fresh and fragrant and no huge lumps of chicken to fill you up quickly.

That's better
Something I meant to ask you actually. How do you prepare the oats in your meals?

I've used two methods, either on the hob or on the microwave.
Hob - is just oats + water + whey/drinking chocolate. And just keep adding water until you get a silly volume. Chuck some husks in and pop an egg white in near the end. Not the healthiest relationship to have with food though, chasing insane volume...
Microwave - now I use powdered flavouring (that you'd find in whey, as the flavour is much stronger and you only need 5-8g tops for 150g oats) and mix it with water and leave the oats to soak overnight. Then I just keep nuking them and stiring, not adding a great deal more water, just enough. Husks and an egg white towards the end for texture (fiber too).
You can use milk or almond milk (lower calorie) and it'll be a bit creamier but I notice no difference so save the calories for my other meals or put it towards toppings

I made two soft boiled eggs and toasted soldiers earlier today. Once boiled, I realised I don't have any egg cups.
deffinatly better than other supermarket ready meals ive tried, and at £1.64 (half price) they are a good deal but its only their currys with rice that are on a 1/2 price offer and tbh there wasnt much chicken in them,
their single dish currys (with no rice) are £3.89, and tbh thats not much cheaper than getting a madras or korma from my local takeaway, and we all know takeaway > ready meals
