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)

Decaf coffee for breakfast and some fried tomatoes - past their best for salads, with a slice of gluten-free bread.

Chopped up a spud and roasted it for lunch, ate it with some home-made coleslaw and haff a boiled egg.

Had a slice of coffee cake for afters. Two cups of Green Tea.

Will be having leek and potato soup for tea and that's far too many carbs for me so tomorrow Must Try Harder.
