It’s been a while so I will start us off…….whats for supper and why?

Two of our families came round, with salmon.

We cooked rice noodles, veg, soy, ginger - salmon on top.

I had a different menu for us.

Delicious.

DH brought home our first Jersey Royal potatoes today. I shall cook them to have with cold chicken and salad tonight. I live in hope but know they won't taste as good as they always used to. From what I read that's largely down to not using seaweed as fertilizer and that so many are grown by large corporations not the small farmer of yesteryear.
The best I've ever tasted were years ago on holiday in Jersey when they would have been harvested that day or the day before. That and the local tomatoes were food of the gods

Chicken tray bake. Easy to prep and little clearing up.

Lunch was mortadella and cucumber sandwich with a handful of vegetable crisps. Plus a bowl of blackberries and sreawberries with coconut yoghurt, and a very dilute glass of elderflower cordial. Dinner tonight is a cottage pie, I made, eventually, this morning. It has a potato and celeriac topping and I think we will also have broad beans.

Just eaten brunch, wheat biscuits, prunes, blueberries and half a banana.
Dinner was cottage pie with some lentils added in, sadly mince is still in the freezer, so cheese/onion quiche, new potatoes with carrots and peas.

I've just had toast and homemade smoked mackerel pate. Tonight I will have a baked potato with cheese and beans.

Porridge with chai and tinned peaches in juice

Greek salad- pear

Fish pie, runner beans and peas.- kiwi

Canellini potato broccoli curry, sultana chutney, salad, fruit

What? Frozen pizza.
Why? No washing up!

Home made spinach and coconut dhal and naan breads, we also had some mango chutney my husband made some weeks ago.
All done in the Thermomix.

Steak and salad for me.

Steak, chips and mushrooms for DH and GS. GS will also dive into the coleslaw and cucumber

I had planned to make a cottage pie , with a potato and celeriac topping, for dinner this evening. But I went out with friends for lunch and didn’t feel like cooking when I got home. So DH and I had a sort of picnic , from bits and bobs instead

Dinner here- pork steaks in BBQ sauce, baby potatoes, cauliflower and carrots.

I bought some last week in Waitrose.

Chicken and crispy chipotle stir fry with egg fried rice.

But I’ve just had that tooth extracted - sat here feeling numb, sore, achy and with a gap😮. So I won’t be eating much today. Nor be leaving the house until the gap is filled😄😄

Oh dear ☹ Hope you feel better soon.
Does it show when you smile?

😮😮yes! Which is why I’m not leaving the house

Since I have made a vast batch of my semi-veggie mince today (much of which will go into a mega shepherd's pie for DD’s family) a small part of it will later have a tin of kidney beans, tomato puree, chilli powder and paprika added.

We will have it in wraps, with grated cheese and salad.

For Thursday I have planned

Kipper - but it will probably be porridge as I forgot to take them out of the freezer.
Main meal mid-day as pacemaker clinic for DH late afternoon.
Cold roasted chicken, jersey royals snd salad.
Cheese on toast for later.

Although I have grotty toothache and eating is not easy atm. Hoping to get to see the dentist tomorrow (Thursday) as I am not sleeping very well.

Our evening meal with small Gchn this evening was a pic’n’mix.
A bread wrap each to fill with our own choice of lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, avocado and grated cheese. Gchn aged 2 and 4 really enjoy doing this - no left overs!

When I was young we had breakfast, dinner and tea, school dinners, Christmas dinner, and packed lunches for a trip. Now it's Christmas lunch and school lunches. Our Christmas dinner consists of several meats, four veg, mashed and roast potatoes, pigs in blankets, stuffing, gravy and pudding. That's a dinner.

I'm so sorry I seem to have added a post instead of starting one 🤦
