Mousaka for the Masses

One major problem with living alone, after not previously living alone, is trying to get used to making home cooked things small enough for just one to consume in one sitting. Even after a second helping I’ve hardly made a dent in it. I now have two choices. Have it for breakfast dinner and tea for the entire weekend or fill the freezer with it and hope it tastes as nice nuked from frozen.
I’m having a digestive break aided by a large glass of wine, before I attempt dessert. It’ll give me time to ponder why lovely green limes seem to stay green in the supermarket but soon as you get them home then they turn yellow within hours. It’s one of lifes mysteries!
This was also the day the heating oil ran out. Why does it always happen at a weekend when you have to wait until Monday to stick an order in. I’m tempted not to bother at the price… it’s spring after all. Things should be warming up any day now.

I’ve seen containers of home heating oil for sale at garages but’ve been fortunate enough to never have to buy one.If you live in your kitchen for a few weeks and keep baking you should keep warm I suppose.
Seen anyone throwing bricks out of car windows yet?
I’ve seen those containers too. I dunno how I would ever lift the thing high enough to empty it into the tank!
Bricks? That better not be a reference to my cooking boyo!
I ran out of Propane 25 Feb., myself. I usually order 250 gallons in October and it gets me to April, but I’ve been remodelling a spot where I couldn’t re-insulate, and ran out of funds to complete it. I use Kerosene in a 110,000BTU burner. It’s normally intended to keep fresh plaster from freezing inside homes built over winter…so I only run it 5 or 10 minutes. It’s loud and makes my cats run to the other side of the house.
Is that a sign of spring there, bricks flung out of car windows?
Ah the luxury of a space heater. I’ve often seen those things in warehouses and building sites.
For now coal is a much cheaper option here except that it wont heat the radiators or water… just a stoveful of heat in the living room which is good enough. It’s got mild enough to only need it lit at night anyhow.
Luxury?
It’s like a jet engine!
I compare using it as luxury in the same manner as Karl in the movie “Caddyshack” cleaning the inside of his house with a gas-powered leafblower. It also sucks out all the oxygen!
A leafblower…. now why didn’t I think of that!
