Chicken soup...for the soul

I don't know how this week went by so quickly!!! It's Friday again! Had planned to go Perry Barr to have a look if hv suitable Clarks shoes on sale cos there's a factory store there. In the end, changed my mind cos weather forecast was heavy rain for the afternoon. So I just went to High Street to post card then Home Bargains.  Bought a fruit shortcake from Home Bargains and it was good! A bit sweet though but nice..haha..addictive! Seeing that it was still light rain and kinda early, I decided to go to ASDA. Bought the crispbreads cos they were on offer...also managed to buy sultanas (plan to bake those khong guan-like sultana biscuits next week). Managed to buy fresh lasagne for £1! It's normal price but haven't seen that brand before..made in Belgium apparently so buy to try.

Haha..anyway C had eaten up his own chicken leftover for lunch. Say until so nice yday evening, leave for me in the fridge so I can have it. Haha..only rice left in the fridge. But it's not like I wanna eat it. At least he washed up all the pot and utensils. Anyway I soaked some salad bean mix this morning. Thinking of cooking chicken potato soup or curry chicken and add the beans tonight. Will decide later..haha..

Finally the English Heritage person replied saying can use any card as long as identifies me as student! Yay!! So my parents and I will get discounted rates for most of the places of interests!

Weatherwise today, it was pretty cooling with light rain. I had to wear my Nike jacket cos I wore short sleeves today and it was nice and warm. The weather here really quite unpredictable...Supposed to warm up again from Sunday. That also explains why I haven't packed my clothes for the road trip. Prob have to check weather again next week then pack.

Will stay home tmr and go church and Bearwood on Sun. Mon is a PH here so I should be staying home too (cos buses work on a Sun timetable - less frequent).

*Added: I end up cooking comforting chicken soup and added potatoes and beans. That's why they call it chicken soup for the soul?

Did u spot the carrots?? Hahaha! I asked C if he saw my carrots while I was preparing my dinner. Then he said he used them yday and said he took my garlic too. He said he thought they left them before their trip (AS IF!! Cos they were in my container). Then I said oh..I wanted to use them and he offered to buy them from the shop at the corner of the road. And I actually said tt will be good. Hahaha..no more being a kind soul. So I used 2 carrots and put the remainder in their vege compartment. How honest I am hor? Anyway L loves this soup I cook. But it's really easy to cook..today added bay leaves and 花椒. She added her chilli powder, lime juice and salt. C bluffed her tt he had some too. Prob he ate something before he came back la. Oh, L brought back some cupcakes from Morrisons..think she bought or someone bought and she brought back the remainder. Tastes like steamed cake..hah..but not tt sweet. When L said she loves boiled chicken, I told her Poppy likes it too and said I had to cook chicken for her cos she won't eat her dog food a few of the days while they were away...then she commented she's (Poppy) spoilt!

Oh..and when I was cooking, C chatted with me (on his way to outside to smoke) and shared with me about his plans. Apparently he's gg to continue with his PT degree and do some lorry driving work?! It started when he said he's gg to quit smoking after he finishes his cigarettes he bought from USA..said his friend at his apartment was told he left with 18 months to live and he has been smoking, drinking etc. Can't quite imagine him being a PT..hahaha! Claims to be good at science and he's the only one in his family without a degree.
