Lunch

Gosh - seriously out of date post, sorry jeni didn't look at the dates of earlier posts and thught this was a new(ish) thread.
Out of interest - how did it go?

Wow, serious real cooking too!
Re the outlaws- just be wary of the Dutch courage! They willl be just as apprehensive - and only we know how right they are to worry

Flat bread and cottage cheese - trying to be good!

Lunch today was taken out in the open, with a friend at a lovely arboretum in Cornwall. Some large soft baps, hot cooked pork, some stuffing and apple sauce, s*d the Weightwatchers today. It was wonderful.

The last time I threw anything edible it was at DH - a cut loaf, which burst on impact, scattering bread far and wide, and partially stunning the cat in the process. Since the bread was swiftly followed by a packet of frozen peas, which also boi, I surpassed myself. And how many peas in the packet for God's sake? The places that I found peas, some of them months later are too numerous to list here!

DH sat unperturbed throughout, only stirring to resuscitate the cat!

Caro

bagitha I must just end up throwing them at Mr absent.

Absent a, lol! I threw first husband's cooked breakfast on the floor years and years ago,and then refused to clean it up, we circled round it for ages,went to bed with it still there,but he snuck down and did it in the middle of the night!

Get those buttered cream crackers out, absent. All will be well.

Absent

Not only did I not have any lunch yesterday owing to the complete absence of food from the refrigerator, I finished up throwing two full plates of dinner in the kitchen bin following a row with Mr absent concerning the potatoes.

Thanks everyone; the headache seems to have gone - but maybe it's the cocktail of painkillers keeping it at bay! The smell of brie and bacon is wafting up my nostrils - must be time for a smackeral as Pooh would have said

bagitha I adore Brie. Must try it with bacon...an interesting combination. Glen Etive, a marvellous location. Have umpteen photos of us tramping along the shores in the days when my hips were happy to operate in a pain-free manner.

Here's hoping you will feel better gally and ga a little tlc is better than any medicine so take care and have a good rest. for you both .

Get well soon, gally and ga. No fun being unwell!

I had half a lovely Brie and bacon panini with salad at the Kings House Hotel at the head of Glen Etive for lunch. One of the kayaking boys, who said he didn't like Brie, ate the other half after his own different panini and large bowl of chips. Just shows what you can do when you're eighteen and hungry after chasing a kayak paddle 2km down a Scottish glen in sleet and ferocious wind!

jeni ALWAYS be true to yourself.
gally get well soon
GA ((hugs)) for a speedy recovery. xx

Hope you feel better soon, Gally! Also GA - the antibiotics will hopefully soon kick in. Take it easy - both of you.

Oh GA I do hope you will be better in time for your happy hols. Hope the anti B's do the trick. Don't you just love a poached egg on toast? I could eat one everyday, although unlike Mr GA I don't think Mr.G is up to much more than buying bread from the baker!

Hope your sore head is feeling better Gally
I had an emergency appointment with the out of hours doctor this morning, so breakfast was my usual medication followed by the first of a week's worth of antibiotics. Lunch was poached egg on delicious freshly baked (not by me - husband's the bread baker) granary bread.

Just got up as I have had a cracking headache all morning; Mr. G heated up some soup and made a small salad with leftovers which was very welcome. I had another Ibuprofen for pudding

Well just had second helping of carrot and corriander soup and some nutty bread (one slice only glass) and have put the rest in freezer for next week,to-night having shepherds pie,made this am so am having relaxing afternoon.

Hmm it might be delicious

Good Luck jeni - repeat after me.......it will be delicious!

I'm cooking tonight for dd her partner and? gdd. Poussin with lemon garlic and rosemary. Baby new potatoes and veg. I can't remember when I last cooked a proper meal. Usually it's a take out when they come but in some mad moment I decided to cook! Hope it turns out ok. I am NOT the domesticated kind. Wish me luck!

It is nearly lunch time and there is absolutely nothing in the fridge apart from orange juice, half a bottle of wine, half a jar of home-made mincemeat and various sauces, mayonnaise, vinaigrettes, etc. However, it is sparkling clean thanks to Mr absent – I just did the sorting and chucking. I had the last slice of bread toasted for breakfast. The fruit bowl is empty. I think I shall have to go shopping – and then maybe I shall pop into my favourite coffee shop for a sandwich (always served with salad on the side).

flowerfriend that's what I do - save caloires for the evening. So lunch is usually one slice of wholemeal bread and two slices of Edam (I'm vegetarian and don't have dairy products on the whole, but know I need the calcium.)

If you're feeling lonely ((hugs)) there's always GN! x

em et al. Thanks for the advice! If I'm going to meet any body I suppose I'd better get up and shower etc. lie in as painful foot all last night. faye stop passing your complaints around!
