1) I made fajitas for tea on Monday but I’d bought some peppers reduced that I wanted to use them up so I added them all to the pan which left me with a fair amount of leftovers! I never have fajita leftovers so I wasn’t sure what I could do with the big bowlful that I had but in the end I mixed them in with some rice the following day for tea and served it with a chicken breast marinated in peri peri sauce. I have no photos as it smelled so nice that my tummy took over and by the time I remembered I wanted to take a photo, we were all almost finished!
Next time I’m going to deliberately make more just for the leftovers!
2) I’ve started on some homemade Christmas presents! I wanted to make my vodka loving friend a bit of a sweetshop vodka selection so I’ve started with pear drops and marshmallow flavours although I also tried a mango and chilli version and a coffee one.
I’ll let you know how they turn out!
3) I have to be in London next month and I’ve managed to get some great priced tickets by playing about a little with the times and stations. The cheapest combination I got was to get a lift to a different station to where I would usually get on, come back half an hour before I would have wanted to ideally and book specific trains rather than a more flexible ticket. It’s just me on the train so I’m looking forward to some peace and quiet with my Kindle.
4) We went blackberry picking yesterday afternoon so I have a nice stash of blackberries waiting for me to make something with. I’m thinking a crumble and some blackberry vinegar but I’ll let you know next week what I end up going with.
5) I managed to get rid of some blood stains from cream top using some washing up liquid to pre-treat which is a tip I got from some lovely ladies in our Spend Less, Live Better Facebook group. We’ve had some great discussions this week and stain removal tips was just one of them.
