Have the oven on for baked oats. Never had them before but have been advised they're like eating dessert from breakfast which is definitely something I can get on board with.

So AH, what are ye eatin'?

A lot of SVs are independently owned and operated. In my area the differences in quality are huge. As I said my local one is a dump. No consistency in stock. Poor staff. A bad experience considering the prices. That said there's two in Portlaoise that are very good.

you would love the SV in Dingle! The name "emporium" is the only possible title.. I mean quail's eggs...And so wonderfully arranged.

I vetoed the one in Clifden; they had set themselves v LIDL and ALDI to be the kind of deli shop... The day I found myself face to face with a tank of live lobsters with their great claws bound with elastic was my last real shop there. Was nearly physically sick.. a man came up and asked if the lobsters could feel things....

I had a meal at lunchtime and it was so retro! I used to eat the Campbells version as a kid. I bought a can of Frey Bentos Meatballs in gravy. Had them with a buttered baguette. Deadly.:D

Actually I find they have gone up lately. They are trying to meet the "big 4" and doing a fair job.

I agree completely. SV is a very overrated place when it comes to certain foodstuffs. I think it has gone downhill over the last two years. Not nearly as good as it used to be. My local SV is a dump.

The "blame" was mostly mine! I had the turkey and ham dinner for a change and have disliked it before; peas and carrots and the ham is tough. The bacon and cabbage is great! And their huge cottage pie is good too; I get three large portions ( freeze 2) from the tray at E.6.50.

The web site is great!

The SV in Achill is the one who are so very kind re deliveries. No tesco or aldi or lidl or dunnes there..they compete with a local family shop so that keeps them up to scratch. Never been in the shop yet..

Strong black coffee and a bowl of Alpen.

coffee and a raisin and biscuit yorkie that came in the shopping instead of twirl ..

Coffee, made as I try to cut up chicken for the cats, one of whom is on a chair behind me grabbing with his paw....maybe is why I plonked the electric kettle on the gas cooker then tried to light the gas.... forgetting the bottles are empty ..

Need more coffee and maybe toast..

Salmon (soon as I can break for food).

For supper I had tofu "chips" with asparagus and cream cheese sandwich. Followed by seaweed caviar - before you think "wtf?!", I was in IKEA today and they were giving samples. It's delicious! The texture is unusual and it's salty but not too salty.

Macaroon bar, white wine.

Now sleep

Small and blissfully peaceful offshore island .... after decades of isolated remote places.. Loving it.

And usually so well organised... ah well :rolleyes:

Good to know you are so happy in life, it sounds idyllic.

It must be amazing to see the changes in the landscape with the changes in weather we've had.

Well, it is my considered opinion that Supervalu ready meals are not a patch on Dunnes' and are considerably dearer!

A disappointment but I will recover.... lol...

A boiled potato rescued from the pan of vegetables etc I was cooking for stew when the gas died...

Been meaning to replace the spare, empty bottle for weeks. mea culpa

Dragged both cylinders to the end of my drive ie the crossroads with a HELP! sign... Neighbour-ferryman has to pass when he next goes to the pier and no way will I disturb them at weekend.
They have to carry them for me anyways.

I have microwave, and toaster.

When I was first here I was without power 5 months and gas stove 3 months. Have a small camping stove also so am fine. Just embarrassing!
