I'm awaiting the Ocado delivery and stocks are a bit low - just having a root around the almost empty fridge and boring freezer contents.

DH off today so we went out for lunch. It was lovely. A nice table overlooking Granton harbour. Smoked salmon, salmon fillet in lime and chilli butter with samphire, strawberry and walnut ice cream. Lovely. A rare treat.
Back to crispbreads and cheese and fruit tomorrow

Just made homemade beef burgers with tomatoe chutney.
Went down a treat.

Birthday cake! My little grandson is 4 today, so we had Paw Patrol birthday cake.

Egg sandwich on wholemeal bread.

We had just returned home from a longish walk so something substantial was called for.
I fried mushrooms, added a tin of baked beans, a fried egg and it was delicious. Had some homemade brown bread toasted and a large cuppa.
Normally it's cheese, toast and jam, maybe some cucumber and tomato as well.

Early lunch as we have an optician's appointment at 1.45 and have a longish drive to get there.

Veg pate, salad veg and fresh fruit, DH added a slice of cheese.

I poached myself an egg on toast and had a Solero for pudding. OH heated up a pie. I’m making a chicken and aubergine parmigiana tonight which I think I’ll serve with couscous.

Only just had two slices of home made bread with butter. This moving malarkey is not for the feint hearted!

Tonight I can look forward to the last slice of a steak and kidney pie that came from the local butchers shop.

It was a quick bite of pepperoni on rye as I had a hairdressers appointment. Tonight is home made breaded fish and chips, cooked in the Ninja, and some fresh garden peas.

Cheese and beetroot on a wholemeal thin

Newquay, I had a very similar lunch. Toast with grated cheese, under the grill till bubbling, topped with pickled beetroot. One of my favourites.
Tonight we are having Leek and Ham Pasta, followed by a tiny bit of left over Anniversary Cake.

It was 2.30 by the time i got back from delivering mums shopping. So quickly buttered two small slices of brown bread with blackcurrant jam, lovely. A salad for tea.

Sea bass pan fried served with homemade latkes and mixed veg.

Egg Mayo on low carb bread. Tea is garlic chicken with celeriac.

Aveline, care to share the name of you restaurant? I'm going to be heading up in that direction next month.

Aveline Sat 11-Sept-21 06:18:13

Kim19. It was the Loch Fyne restaurant at Granton. It's nothing special really. It suits us as you can park and we had a discount voucher. I wouldn't rush there.

Red pepper houmous, a mixed salad and Matzo crackers.
