Two eggs fried in olive oil and avocado ๐Ÿฅš๐Ÿฅš๐Ÿฅ‘

I hope the avo isn't past its best - they're so unpredictable!

Today we had home made butter chicken (with turkey breast). Boiled rice, broccoli and nan bread. Strawberries and cream for dessert.
Called in on DD after having my hair cut. She gave me a strawberry tequila liqueur which was delicious.

I had meatballs and roasted vegetables, both from the freezer and a small non-alcohol beer ๐Ÿบ

My lovely brother is living with us until he buys a home. He insists on purchasing all foods (lucky us). He loves wild salmon, and today is Friday.

Lunch for brother: Salmon, jersey royals, peas, salad. For the two of us: same, except we had marinated tofu bake v salmon.

foxie48 if you mean your mixed salad was all from the garden, gold star gardening! I had some herb leaves from the garden and pea shoots from the windowsill plus a bought hummus and falafel. Then the first home grown strawberries too, with yoghurt and a treat from Lidl of Italian chestnut honey ๐Ÿ˜‹

Nope sadly not, just the broad beans and mint but I do have new potatoes, spinach and radishes to eat now and a lot more fruit and veg to come over the next few weeks.

Mixed salad of cucumber, red onion, beetroot, red pepper, tomato, broad beans and mint from the garden plus spiced chick peas and peanuts for extra protein with a homemade lemon tahini dressing. Delicious and for something sweet I had a satsuma.

We had gyoza and miso soup out at the local shopping centre. I had been working on the computer all morning so it was by way of a break.

Bread and cheese

A brunch, as always, 16/8. Two weetabix, prunes, blueberries and strawberries.

With raw veg that looked slightly sorry for itself.
I rarely eat cooked veg. Always eaten raw.
Mum used to say, you will change and like cooked veg. Never have!

Weds always seems to end up being leftovers day.

I have some chicken to eat up so put it with a microwave pizza that never has enough chicken on it.
I dont eat that much pizza, but saw two people eating it separately on tv programmes last night, so took that as my cue!

Lizzies Wed 07-Jun-23 13:02:08

Tuna and red onion sandwich and seven cherry tomatoes.

All your lunches sound delicious.

Will be sitting in the golf club waiting for DH to have a golf lesson so I will order sandwich at the bar - shall I have a drink not sure?

Certainly!! Wish I was there!

We are having smoked salmon and egg mayonnaise either in a sandwich or on a plate with sundried tomatoes and coleslaw. The coleslaw has been open a while so will have to think carefully and sniff!

Daisymae Wed 07-Jun-23 12:42:52

Avocado on toast. I blame M and S for putting the idea in my head......
