I know there have been threads like this previously but it's something to do to take our minds off the virus.

I had raw overnight-soaked oats with blueberries, raspberries and banana with greek yoghurt for breakfast plus 2 mugs of tea.

Morning latte OH always makes for us

Another cup of tea.

Bowl of Thai pumpkin soup and piece of savoury toast. (very popular in Australia other places may not know what it is) plus another mug of tea.

Probably salad for tea with tomatoes, avocado, onion, cucumber, lettuce plus a veggie fritter made with grated zucchini and carrot, spring onion, chilli flakes,feta and cheddar cheese, eggs and a bit of flour.

This makes 6-8 and I have a couple a day till there are all gone.I don't get tired of having the same things for a few days.

OH has different food as he is a traditional old style eater with sausages and mash, silverside (corned beef) baked beans egg and bacon etc.

I always have some chocolate in the evening . (smile)

Were they gallstones? Whitewave was the pain because you were passing small ones?
I hope you're feeling better now

Porridge with honey

I can hear the pan sizzling so I think that DH is making us bacon baps, haven't had one for years. Yum, with brown sauce

Fish of some kind later, depending on what is left in the freezer.

Yesterday, Porridge, banana and honey plus 3 coffees during the morning an Emmental, rocket and tomato sandwich on wholemeal after our midday walk. A couple of teas in the afternoon. Supper, made a casserole with chicken fillets, green pepper, carrots and some Charlotte potatoes that I wanted to use up. Really regret due to the rapidity of the spread of virus, didn't replenish herbs, spices etc., although I do have some, albeit out of date I imagine. Managed to find some spicy seasonings and Knorr stock cubes, bought heaven knows when shock must admit didn't look at the dates, but have never heard of "death by out of date stock cubes" before, anyway still here!

Yesterday we had coffee, OJ and fruit for breakfast.

Vegetable soup (home made) and wholemeal toast for lunch.

A chocolate biscuit with a coffee about 4.00pm

Shepherds Pie (using up courgette, green pepper and a leek from the bottom of the vegetable basket - so not a traditional recipe) and sugar snap peas for supper.

Txquiltz Fri 27-Mar-20 06:06:04

French toast for breakfast. Comfort food.
Thawed the corn beef originally intended for St. Patrick's Day. It was a nice change, but now I feel too full. I am eating out of stress and must get that under control.

An obscene amount of rubbish sad I’m working from home and overseeing the 13 year old’s remote schooling which is proving to be a challenge - the biscuit tin (and crisps and chocolate...) were my friend today. Tomorrow I will be better.

Greyduster Thu 26-Mar-20 22:07:17

A slice of toast and three-fruit marmalade with coffee. A piece of DD’s sticky ginger cake and a cup of red Bush tea. Fish pie with garden peas for me, and mac cheese for DH.
Tomorrow, as we have managed to acquire some salad veg, I will make a quiche to go with them!

BradfordLass73 Thu 26-Mar-20 22:00:25

As it's still only 11am here, all I've had is a cup of decaf coffee but I put an egg on to boil so brunch will be a mixed salad with garlic hummus and a boiled egg.

Probably a bit of fish for tea and green beans. I'll poach the fish in milk and make that into parsley sauce.

My only carb may be a McVitie's digestive with a cup of Rooibos mid-afternoon.

Reading the above posts makes me want porridge, so that would be nice for tomorrow.

Elderflower2 Thu 26-Mar-20 20:57:01

I only eat twice a day and struggle with that. Today:

(1) Cornish Pasty followed by apple doughnut
(2) London cheesecake

I know shock, but it was treat time [café] cupcake

SallyB392 Thu 26-Mar-20 20:15:33

My usual porridge oats, with cinnamon, Apple, and sultanas, soaked overnight in milk, for b'fast. Jacket potatoes with tinned mackerel for lunch, then a chicken and mushroom risotto, with the rice replaced with orzo, spinach, fresh parsley, onion, leek topped with parmesan.
