The best laid plans - and what came out of them

[wiseheart]

I seriously overslept today. Like by an hour and a half. Originally, I wanted to get up around 7pm, do the grocery shopping and be at home by the time Mum would get up. Instead, I overheard the alarm and woke up at 8.30 - barely early enough to get everything prepared for Mum's wake-up time an hour later. Ah, well. I cut the shopping tour short, going only to Lidl at the next corner. The extended tour will have to wait until tomorrow, when I'll also visit Kik, Tedi and Pepco, in the hope to find craft supplies I absolutely don't need. *g*

I bought a Quiche Lorraine - Lidl had French days - for lunch that I only had to put into the oven. It was quite a disappointment... tasted of... well, nothing really. So, I'll have to make my own Quiche Lorraine from scratch again if I want to have a yummy one. A shame, really, I love things that only need to be put into the oven. You all know how I hate cooking.

Crafting-wise I did some small work on the current quiet book page. The large mirror above the vanity table now has a frame of pale pink flowers; I find it looks really nice. I've also sewn on a strip of lace (crocheted by my Grandma in the late 1960s or early 1970s, before she'd lose 92% of her eyesight) on the top that looks like a short curtain or whatnot - really stylish, if I say so myself.

We then watched some telly, after which I called my friend Evie (who'd just donated some lovely little jars for the next jam-making session), and we had a nice chat. All in all, a good day, with my time well-used.

Too bad about the quiche.

You apparently needed the sleep!

There are days in life where you just have to learn to pivot from the original plan. Sounds like you managed to rescue the day rather well. I hear you regarding bland tasting supermarket food. It can be very disappointing.

What a disappointment- quiches can be so tasty!

Indeed. 🙄

Unfortunately, that's true. It saves you a lot of kitchen labour, but you pay for it with the lack of taste.

The ones I make from scratch usually are. But I wanted a quick lunch with as little work as possible — well, that was a result.

Needing sleep is the normal state of things in my life. 😴

I remember once paying over the odds for some fish cakes that said they were luxury, with a special cheese centre. They tasted of nothing. Lesson learned.
