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)

Lunch cuppa soup with half a buttered roll and water now nap time my energy levels are quite low today and I’m tired going to have spare ribs for dinner with roasted potatoes my dh is cooking up a storm he’s really looking after me so well no complaints think I’ll keep him a little longer 
Nothing much wrong with my appetite you will have noticed

Prided myself on eating healthily all day. Then, feeling peckish in the evening, I ate 2 scones with clotted cream and jam. Felt sick for the rest of the evening and couldn't sleep as felt bloated. Nobody to blame but myself.
Am awaiting my 'leftovers' cottage pie with anticipation . Any old veg thrown in, plus lentils to extend the meat.
Chewy! You will be so thin we won’t see you sideways.
I had a cooked breakfast for a treat ( DH makes an excellent breakfast for us ) bacon, fried egg and fried tomatoes with buttered toast, and two mugs of tea.
Coffee mid morning.
For lunch I had a piece of wholemeal toast with butter and marmalade and a mug of tea.
Just had dinner: steak, grilled, with saute potatoes and a coleslaw salad. Poached pears for afters ( poached in apricot brandy) with a tiny scoop of vanilla ice cream.
I had toast for breakfast a hot cross bun for lunch and just had a curry delivered. The driver knocked the door then ran off, I used to love that game!!!

And I’m just about to have a glass of Malbec. Maybe two.

I'm doing my mixed grill now after straightening the garden up and watering. I'm starving.
I honestly can’t remember if I had lunch today
. I think I’m losing the plot. I know I had breakfast - cereal & toast, then I made a couple of fruit loaves which I had to check were ok, of course. Judging by the rumbles from my stomach I’m due a feed....
Poached egg on GF bread, salad with feta cheese and now about to make a stir fry.
That all sounds far too healthy so may have to have a
or G&T as well.
Today it was Weetabix for breakfast, then vegetable soup made from some sorry looking specimens that needed using quickly for dinner. We're having the remainders of the broccoli and cheese quiche I made yesterday for tea, with roast veg, and I hear a rumour that DH has made a rice pudding with the spare milk we needed to use.
I'm thinking that a
would go nicely with the three episodes of Quiz we'll be watching tonight.
‘School dinner’ last night - mince out of the freezer, batch cooked about 10 days ago, stretched with red lentils and carrots etc. chopped small. Boiled potatoes and a stack of Savoy cabbage that needed using up.
Just as well dh loves ‘school’ dinners!
Tonight will have curried kedgeree made with the last piece of smoked haddock from the freezer, and some chopped chives (garden) for garnish.
I don’t usually want any breakfast, except for multiple cups of coffee. For ‘brunch’ today I will be making myself a really big Thai style veg stir fry, have a lot to use up before the next big veg box on Tuesday.
Dh always gets his own lunch, same thing nearly every day, carrot sticks, hummus, a HB egg, various salad stuff.
After dinner will no doubt be eating a fair bit of chocolate, since dh bought rather a lot in M&S the other day.
I haven't eaten this yet but we are waiting for a take away from our local pub/restaurant, The Granby, a very famous and popular place to eat. We've ordered fish and chips and cheesecake. It should be here around 6pm. We've got some mushy peas waiting to be heated. Bliss!
On a side note, I just made sauerkraut and it will be ready to eat in a week or so. I can hardly wait. Mmm-mmmm! I'm exhausted after all the squeezing though. It's hard work but worth it. ?
