Grilled Dorada with new potatoes and a tomato salad, followed by a slice of pineapple, and DH and I shared 1/2 lire of red wine and a bottle of water with it.

Interesting.
Mine was a pink lady apple, some olives ( black and yummy) small slices of cheddar, a couple of mixed nuts and dates.
I love this plate and have it often.

Parsnip soup and a small roll and butter.

Lamb tagine with giant couscous and cherry tomato and spring onion salad. A plum, apricot and raspberry flan with crème fraiche.
(I had friends to lunch! )

We had lunch out. Mine was a chicken Caesar salad ciabatta, which was very tasty. Unfortunately it came with a side of nachos, which I don't really care for, but ate anyway because I hate wasting food. Yes, illogical, I know.

Half a pack of halloumi,,fried (just a film of oil) and some frozen spinach, done in the microwave, with lemon juice.

Ham salad and then Greek yogurt and banana. All washed down with a big pot of tea.

Soup made with spinach, leeks, celery, potatoes and enough for tomorrow too. It was a new one on me and was much nicer than I thought it would be.

My friend was over and we had my home made leek and potato soup followed by rhubarb crumble and custard. My excuse was the crumble needed to be eaten as was last years from the freezer and would serve 2.
Somehow custard made me think of school dinners (our school made yummy πŸ˜‹ custard).

2 slices of GF bread, half an avocado, beetroot, grated carrots, olives and sun dried tomatoes, followed by an apple and cup of mint tea.

Small slice of gluten free pizza, small baked potato with cheese, Coleslaw, beetroot slaw. Diet caffeine free coke. Yum.

In France, so we went to our local restaurant and had the Menu du Jour: butternut squash soup, turkey and mushroom fricassee with noodles, chocolate pancake with cream, a bottle of cider (we are in Normandy) and a coffee.

Then came home, finished pruning the hedgerow and started weeding the courtyard.

Stir fried sweet chilli chicken and vegetables with rice.

Cabbie21 Fri 24-Feb-23 15:29:07

I blitzed the leftovers of a pork slow cooker casserole plus some beans into a soup, heated and eaten with a brown roll that had been lurking in the freezer for ages, followed by half a banana left over from breakfast. Not my usual lunch.

Ladyleftfieldlover Fri 24-Feb-23 15:31:31

A brown bread (one slice) ham sandwich and a Solero iced lolly.

Kate1949 Fri 24-Feb-23 15:31:57

Yesterday I had a low fat cream cheese bagel with blueberries and a drizzle of honey with a gorgeous cup of coffee in a little cafe in the village with my beautiful daughter.
