As it's Friday I might have the last of the sardine fillets or salmon fillet that are lurking in the freezer for lunch, and goodness knows what for dinner.

Ocado delivery later this morning so I'll be spoilt for choice smile

Lemon sole on the bone was on offer at 50% off but I have a feeling it might be a bit measly in size?

Cajun salmon with tropical salsa dinner

Leek and potato soup. Lunch

Porridge and stewed rhubarb breakfast

I just wish you'd stop with the chip butties and crisp sandwiches.

Rubbishy white bread and butter with either of those is just fabulous and awful on gf bread.

The plate is lovely Joseanne.

A cheese and ham panini and a glass of Pinot Grigio in Wetherspoons. DH had the special offer - burger and chips £2.99.

Lunch was a packet of crisps and a couple of crackers with cheese. Dinner will be at a pub later

My homemade lunch just now, even the roll and wholemeal burger. DH was busy while I was out working! ?

That's a lovely colourful lunch smile

Interesting that the last three lunches are variations on burgers! ?

Lunch out today: burger with Serrano ham, brie and cranberry sauce with skin on chips and rocket followed by banoffee ice cream.
Light supper tonight: soused herring and potato salad.

Lunch isn't meal here. You grab a slice of bread and something.

Today, I came home from the shopping spree I carry out on the day my pension goes into my bank account with cinnomon buns, so that sorted lunch.

Dinner will be fried chicken liver and onions with potatoes - I haven't yet decided whether to mash them or just have plain boiled spuds.

Bread and cheese with a pear and an apple shared between us here for lunch, as it is most days in fact.

Dinner tonight: Jamie Oliver's recipe for sticky mango prawns. Always some kind of fish on a Friday!

Creature of habit? Me? surely not!

callistemon now my mouth's watering - haven't had a chip buttie for years.

Germanshepherdsmum Fri 29-Apr-22 13:54:10

Salad for lunch, home cooked fish and chips for dinner as always on Fridays.

Common as muck, me. ?

Smoked salmon and fresh crusty bread for lunch. I could not leave the last carton of Char Siu Pork on Waitrose's shelves so I will have that with egg fried rice. Maybe I will open a bottle of dry white, finishing it off on Monday, a BH.

Callistemon21 Fri 29-Apr-22 12:54:03

Whatever is handy or left over for lunch

Out to the pub so are we, kittylester so yeah! no cooking!

GrannyGravy13 Fri 29-Apr-22 12:32:24

Lunch will be a crusty roll with cheese & beetroot.

Dinner is going to be a Chinese takeaway ??

fairfraise Fri 29-Apr-22 12:30:44

Just made a toasted cheese sandwich with sundried tomatoes, nasturtium leaves and olives. Tea tonight will be smoked mackerel with chips or salad.

Greenfinch Fri 29-Apr-22 12:27:21

Have just made some lentil and tomato soup for lunch. I added a red chilli to spice it up so I hope it won’t be too hot.

Dinner will be prawn salad with baby potatoes followed by sticky toffee pudding. Well we do have the grandchildren here to have most of it.

ginny Fri 29-Apr-22 11:47:48

Egg and salad cream sandwich with salad + yogurt for lunch.

A cheese and ham toastie in the M&S Cafe, then a curry before I go to watch rugby this evening. Probably a glass or so of wine! winewine

kittylester Fri 29-Apr-22 11:42:33

Out to the pub with a few ex volunteering colleagues and I usually have Tandoori chicken starter because it's gf. We share a bowl of skinny chips and talk an awful lot.

Supper will be Swiss Cheese Bake with lots of chopped gherkins when DD2 and her daughters arrive - possibly 8.30.

Rosalyn69 Fri 29-Apr-22 11:38:22

Home made courgette and Parmesan soup for lunch.
Dinner will be bbq sausages and Caesar salad.
Ocado cane today for me too so lots of choice.

I have no idea, my eating plan is up the spout thanks to nausea and loss of appetite. Your posts here have given me the impetus to do some food planning, thank you.
