Over half of the cheesecake has gone, it was my tea last night. I’ve decided I hate digestive biscuits.
This is going to be a very dull day, as tonight I’m just going to reheat some of the chilli I made last week. I’ll ponder a more interesting meal for tomorrow night 
8pm: Cheesecake finished. I’m sure that was chronically unhealthy, but psychologically I needed to get it out of the way
Very sad, very upsetting news this morning. I went to the fridge, excited to see my cheesecake, and found that it hadn’t set. I removed it from my loose-base tin, and examined it on the worktop. Definitely not set. The consistency of the cheese element was like thick yoghurt. Without the edges of the pan to hold it up, the cheese started to collapse. Frantic, I cut myself a slice (or as much of a slice of yoghurt as you can cut) and put the rest back into the pan, causing a fair amount of mess in the process.
This is a disaster, it hasn’t set and while it doesn’t taste *too* awful, I’m not sure if I can stomach trying to eat the whole thing. I will take a picture later today to show you all. It’s tragic, very, very tragic. :o(
5pm: Picture time. I was baffled at this failure. Clearly the arrogance of my incredible brownie cake has come back to haunt me.
I’m currently eating as much of it as I can. In fact, this might be my tea tonight.
I’m not sure whether I should just dispassionately list everything I’ve eaten every day of the month. That wouldn’t interest me so I’m not sure who out there would tune in just to keep updated about what I’m putting in my mouth. Suffice to say yesterday was last of the cornflakes (49p), another chicken sandwich, and the rest of the pizza and a few chips for tea.
Today marked a change with Sainsburys Basics museli for breakfast. Despite being mega mega cheap it was just as nice as any museli I’ve ever had really. Some ‘basics’ things are noticably not quite as nice as their branded alternatives, and yet others are exactly the same. For example, I’ll never buy branded peanut butter again, it’s identical. Ditto Jam, Margarine, and flour. It’s a well known fact that many unbranded goods are produced by the same factory as the big brands, and yet the contents are identical. Cocoa is a pretty good example of this. How different can something like that be, from brand to brand? It can’t, so it’s not.
Stir fry later, I look forward to that. I’m still mulling over cheesecake recipes, the major problem being that marscepone, a major ingredient that I do not currently posses, seems to be very expensive. I think I’ll mull it for another day and try to pick it up from somewhere on the cheap.
7pm: Stir-fry!
This was very excellent, and there was enough left for a sizable second portion. That’s lunch tomorrow!
Also, and I don’t want you to get excited, viewers, but my cheesecake is now setting in the fridge. I’ve never made cheesecake before so I really hope that it tastes of yummy lemon, and not philadelphia on digestive biscuit.
Ingredients bought for cheesecake, plus other bits and bobs, came to £4.67. Total spend now £48.81.
More cornflakes for breakfast and another sandwich for lunch. The most interesting thing about today was the chilli con carnie I cooked for tea:
Once again, this was a pretty good meal. I’m amazed that nothing I’ve cooked so far hasn’t killed me, or tasted rank. Froze another two portions, so that’s 4 meals in the freezer now I can use another day.
I’ve also decided to make cheesecake next week after the brownie cake runs out. I literally can’t wait
