Once upon a Tyne.

Since I am visiting Newcastle  upon Tyne, UK for a short while, and staying at a student accommodation studio , I'm going to make the most of the situation. Considering I'm on a tight budget in terms of resources but have a wider range of produce to choose from , I should be doing well. And considering the meals put together in the past two day, its a great start. So now here's offering you frugal meals.

Day one was spent in exploring the place, supermarkets and generally figuring out the locations of shops, university etc. Meals were Fish and Chips ( gorgeous cod , battered and served with steamed peas and  chips), Vegetable soup ( terrible. It had lentils veggies, ham, but just not very tasty), vegetarian canneloni with a greens salad , baked potato with spicy chilli . Now finally I am geared with a basic kitchen i.e Amenities: A 2 burner electric hob,  a small microwave/ oven, a small size refrigerator, 4 1/2 feet platform with overhead storage. Some Tupperware : the magic chopper, 2 rock n serve, a 3 pc set of clear n pure bowl, a crystal wave mug, A set of serving and stirring spoons, masala dabba, and small lidded cups and bowls .
Cookware: A prestige pressure cooker, a 5 pc set of Tefal non stick cookware i. a small milk pan, small sauce pan, medium saucepan, small frying pan and a medium frying pan.

Homeware from Argos and Poundland. Groceries from Morrisons, Sainsbury's and I'm set to cook n blog.

Coming up soon. Non Fussy, easy to cook, almost frugal food.

Happy Reading and Bon Appetite.
