Hard but Happy


Hi friends

One of the hard things about living alone is the cost of living. You cannot share the expense with anyone, but have to support yourself all by yourself.  As well as utility bills, grocery bills could be a headache if we are not careful.

My grocery bill is not too bad as I try not to waste any foods. However, the downside of this is, I have to bear with the same ingredients for days. This is my breakfast cum lunch today.

As my village do not have gas pipes, electricity bill is quite big here. I use this steamer all the time as it will save time and ultimately money.

Also steaming is the best way of healthy cooking as it won’t destroy vitamins in vegetables as badly as boiling.  This steamer was less than £20 from Tesco. When I bought it, I thought it could be broken soon, but it is with me for years. Very good buy.

It is chicken curry with vegetables. Although it is the same ingredients, it is different taste from yesterday. I can live with it…..I think.

I have got the Sunday dinner invitation in the evening.  One meal will do before 15:00 and the fridge is getting nicely empty now. Phew.

Although it is hardly convenient, I love the way I live here…….
