Today's meal was a bit of leftover stew, a bit of leftover tuna pasta, and a bit of leftover chilli.
Dessert was yoghurt, plus a leftover child's yoghurt plus a leftover child's fruit pot.

Actually is was all quite nice grin

Warburton do square wraps which are so useful particularly when the grandchildren visit.

They're soft and pliable even when cut in half and heated in the toaster.

And they make a great thin base for pizza.

Riverwalk, I like the idea of using wraps as pizza bases - I had never thought of that. I will definitely be trying it soon smile

Annsixty Only just caught up here again - smoked salmon pasta is dead easy the way I do it - I always use fresh pasta as rather impatient waiting for the dry stuff the cook! In a large pan ( I use my trusty wok ) I have a small amount of oil and cook a small onion diced and some mushrooms and if you like it a clove of garlic - have the salmon cut into pieces - when all looking good I add a couple of spoonfuls of crème Fraiche to the wok and stir it in and as it melts throw in the salmon. Stir around so all melted and well mixed - salmon changes colour then I drain the pasta and add it to the wok and stir all in. I usually take the pasta out with tongs or a pasta spoon and add to wok so it is not dried and sticky in a sieve/ colander. Also if the sauce needs loosening you add a spoonful of the hot pasta water. Parmesan on top of you fancy it - and think of Montalbano as you eat it!grin
