Sorry.

Shopping++

Just a quick post to say that I’m very impressed with the Sainsbury’s delivery service and web store, much more than the Tesco equivalent.

I got over £100 worth of groceries delivered within the one hour slot I picked, not the 2-3 hour slots that Tesco use, and everything was there, good quality and undamaged.

Not only that but having purchased over £100 worth of shopping the delivery cost is waived. So I managed to get a month worth of food and drink without the hassle of going shopping and somehow carting everything back.

Everything comes in an orange Sainsbury’s bag, except anything that’s been substituted (with the closest match due to lack of stock) which came in blue bags. The delivery person offered to take any of the substitutions back and my account would be credited with the relevant cost if he did.

My cupboards, fridge and freezer and completely and utterly stocked to the brim, there’s no room for anything else, at all! Now I’ve just got to eat it all.

All in all, an easy and hassle free transaction. Qudos to Sainsbury’s, A+++++ GOOD SELLER, WOULD SHOP AGAIN.

It turned out to be a masterpiece if I do say so myself.

Chicken pasta with garlic & tomato sauceTry it out:

  • Chicken breast
  • Pasta
  • Tin of chopped tomatoes
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 onion
  • ½ punnet of mushrooms
  • ½ courgette
  • Olive oil
  • Oregano
  • Basil

I started by slicing the courgette and onion and crushing the garlic. Then mixed half the garlic and some oil together, put the chicken breast, mushrooms, courgette and onion into an oven dish and poured the oil and garlic over, added a bit of dried oregano and basil and put in the oven for about half an hour.

Then put the tin of tomatoes into a pot, added the rest of the garlic, a bit more olive oil and a load of dried oregano and basil. When simmering I added the contents of the oven dish and simmered for 20 more minutes. I hope you’ll figure out what I did with the pasta on your own!

It was damn fine (see picture) and I’d highly recommend it.
