home cooking

I had forgotten just how much convenience food we eat in the UK. I would claim to be someone who cooks quite a lot and do cook from scratch but here in Malawi it really is cooking from scratch and the unreliability of power means that we don’t keep much in the freezer. There’s also a lack of snacky things, the biscuits are either grim or expensive and there’s no bought cake. Getting over nasty virus I crave nice food that requires little preparation and our cupboards have nothing suitable. It’s tomato soup and nice yogurts and tasty things to tempt me to eat that I am missing. Oh and I forgot to bring back any jelly babies, we do have chocolate but it’s not that sort of illness!
