It's a good job you love cooking, then!
It must be tricky after honing your skills over many years.

In the caravan, so today's dinner was an especially easy one. Smoked sausage, peas, carrots, gravy, and dried mashed potato. The first, and the last items from Lidl, the last was surprisingly good, I've had worse tasting proper mash. I don't know the make, it wasn't one I've come across before, it came in a purple packet, rather than a box, and was a limited line.
Pasta mash up again. This time with a chorizo sausage thrown into the mix.Dunno if there’s a name for it but we are having what we call “pasta mash up". Basically, stir fry any veg you have left over - tonight I fried red onion, courgette, red and yellow peppers, garlic, mushrooms, French beans and broccoli.

Set aside. Boil up some Penne pasta, mix the two together, chuck in a jar of red pesto and that’s it. You can add some meat - tonight I fried off some chicken breast but my favourite is chorizo. Serve up with a covering of grated Parmesan.

I always make extra - you can warm it up in the micro the following day or just have it cold for lunch.
That brings back happy memories. Mum would take food for six people for three weeks, squirreled away somehow in the caravan. I've eaten Smash in more places than you could believe. Including East Germany.

I have a stock of messy eating T shirts, wear once then in the wash
This tasted much better than the Smash. A day or two before we set off, the F/F is switched on, to get it to temperature, then we transfer a few of our ready homemade meals, from our freezer, to the caravan. That gives us a start, to avoid having to dash urgently out for food/ time to plan the rest of the meals out.
The only things we used to buy were bread, milk and sometimes fresh fruit. Otherwise it was a bit like an Enid Blyton adventure with everything out of tins. And quite a few Vesta meals!
I've not seen those for a few years, but they had become quite expensive, and online supply only..
Frutti di Mare in the Mott household tonight.
I'll be doing sausage, eggs, chips and beans when I get back.
I always change into scruffs, when I eat at home.
When we're on holiday, Mrs Mottie always 'suggests' I wear the previous days T-shirt/Polo shirt for breakfast "just in case".

Or those ponchos that people buy at Alton Towers, to save them getting drenched on the log flume
