Mince and potatoes

So being a kid grown up in London the UK I do like classic stuff in my life and my dad would always make mine and potatoes especially this time of the year and just what you needed when the climate had changed to bitterly cold weather and still a lover of this type of food now. 


I am a traditonlist when it comes to food and I do live seasonallty in terms of food, but items that I could have again and again. 

Items hat can be chucked in a pot is me and I love my slow cooker and miss not having this in my life but going to treat myself to a crop pot as these seem to be a great alternative item to have in the kitchen and let me know if you have one and what they are like, have you found them useful. 

Chucking everything in one pot meals are it for me and I love a stew and a caserle for this very reason. 

I love to have hot chocolate too and had my second this part of the year and started as of today as I write this post to have a cup tea when I get back home rather than a can of diet coke or Dr Pepper in the evening. 

The tea I drink is Earl Grey and what you need as the weather seems to have started to get a bit chilly outside, is adding a slice of lemon and this morning for breakfast had porridge with Golden Syrup and was lovely. Perfect for when the days get colder. 

I like to save money on food by using up whatever I got and then buy more bits I need but not too much. 

Soups are also great for this time of year and gonna buy some cuppa soups to carry around with me when going backwards and forwards.

So do you like classical food too and what are you go to items in terms of food do you like this time of year. Leave a comment below. 

Many thanks for reading,

Why I like my own mug

Hello sorry it has been a while since writing on this blog. If you didn't know I am doing a life coaching programme "The Summer Project 2023" and is helping you have a better year and happy life, check out my blog site: https://everyonecanbuildacastle.com   I have created videos that are on my main Youtube channel for this project and so check it here via this link:  typicallondongal  It is June 2023 and today whilst having my first cup of tea completed the first draft of my book and feels so good to have this done. Having my own mug helps with that and it just something that gives me comfort.  When working in offices you would be asked to have your own mug if you wanted a cup of tea and coffee and thought that this was such a good idea and it makes it a homely environment. Of course if you work in a supermarket not so good because eating and drinking in front of customer is unprofessional, but doesn't mean you can't bring your own mug use it when you take a break...

Finding a decent coffee

Image
I love having a my coffee each day and been trying to not buy coffee from a coffee shop all of the time and use the jars of coffee I have and has made a difference but will treat myself to a Costa Coffee for example, but not all of the time. If you add up the amount a coffee from a coffee shop costs it can really damage your bank balance.  I am choosy when it comes to coffee and Greggs for do a decent Latte and is out of a machine rather than a coffee maker, and is cheaper than a coffee shop.  When it comes to a cup of coffee you want it to be smooth and not bitter. Cafe Nero for example I find their coffee too strong and so will go for a Chai Latte or a Hot Chocolate.  They say that Coffee can cause Anxiety which I read in a book, but for me it is different and it wakes me up and find it fills me up, and have to have a cup. I have the Sainsbury's Freeze Dry Jar of coffee and is my favourite out of the others ones, and was once upon a time, would be Kenco but no, not now ...

Being 45 and growing

Image
 As a kid I felt uncomfortable about being a child, because I saw being an adult, it meant that you had more freedom than being a child. Being 45 seemed a long long milestone and now I am 45, gotten to a place where I am okay with my life, and that I have come a long way to feeling good about myself and that I am no longer fearful compared to when I was a kid. I did have a good childhood and feel very lucky with the things I have done through out it, like holiday's in Clacton and Menorca, and seeing shows up London and visits to London Zoo, Chessington Zoo before it became a Theme Park, and it was just the zoo, and getting my ears pierced up London and spent time seeing my grandparents.  There was a time I liked to go out all the time and meet friends for a drink and get plastered. Not so much now, and like having the odd drink, but no over do it. Its alright going out partying but you have to think about getting home safely and I think you become more protective especially be...
