At 2pm, hunger struck. Hard enough that the thought of only eating soup for the rest of the day just didn't seem realistic. So I cooked myself some spaghetti bolognese of a kind, using two fresh onions, a tin of tomatoes, a tin of kidney beans and about 150g (dry weigh) of spaghetti. I've been eating a lot of spaghetti recently. This perfectly serviceable brand is available in the Co-op for 33p per 500g packet.
Normally it's a meal I'd bulk out with some mushrooms but I had none to hand, so beans would have to do. I fried the onions for a minute or two in sunflower oil before stirring in the tomatoes, and then the beans. I added some dried sage and salt, stirred and left to simmer on a low heat in the frying pan while the spaghetti boiled.
There was enough for two portions. I ate one, then went for a nap. I'm living the dream.
Later when I woke up I ate the rest, and a little later than that, a bowl of leek and potato soup, with the last of the bread made earlier this week.
I made some more dough and left it to rise overnight. Using a little more sugar than is usually advised in recipes, for this reason:
Since the "rules" allow me to use food I've already bought, I'm counting today's spends as £0.00. That's £2.00 in the bank for the next day. So far, so good - but supplies are already fairly low. The challenge begins.
