What we bought, spent and ate this week

Hello Dear Reader,

I only got to the supermarket once this past week, to check out any marked down specials, but that's okay, it will make up for my four trips last week. I do love a bargain but I don't want it to consume my time and my life.

I am finding the amount of meat we eat ebbs and flows, I think it comes down to my mental state while making up the menu for the week ahead. If there is meat on the menu, I have this lingering little voice that keeps asking, was the animal well cared for and humanly treated during its life? There was quite a lot of meat marked down on Thursday afternoon, especially lamb and pork, but I didn't buy any. After seeing this wonderful program on Landline recently, it really made me think about where our meat comes from and did the animal have a good life. This idyllic pig farm just north of us is doing things completely different and are letting the pigs have a real free range life.

I want to order some of this Rhodavale Pork but it is sold in bulk and as I only have a small inside freezer, we will need to organise freezers in the shed a bit better as they are full of fish and bait. I had one upright freezer that was to be used exclusively for meat but somehow it was taken over by fish, fish frames and bait. Not happy Jan!

Now on with what was on our table this week-

That's all from me, have a lovely day,
💗Fi
