What have you eaten today? Part 2

[AwkwardSquad]

Shiny new thread, continuing from here

A diary thread for our daily meals, to record, share, glean menu inspiration and chat, but no judging each other’s food choices.

@Bloodybridget it looks like you are able to enjoy your food again, and it all sounds very delicious too! Have the brownies ran out yet? I hope you are feeling well.

@IJumpedAboardAPirateShip sorry to see you’ve had to have surgery and stuck to a liquid diet! I hope things are starting to feel better and you can get back to a normal diet again soon!

@AwkwardSquad your food sounds delicious as always! And thank you very much for the thought of where I’d been. I had just been feeling very low and was also adjusting to the new job (not such great timing for the two to coincide!) but am feeling back to myself again now so will be posting daily again I’m sure!

B - 2 cups of coffee & oat milk, protein bar
S- Mozzarella with sweet chilli jam

L - Pub lunch : chicken burger with sweet potato fries
S - Mini magnum ice cream stick
D - Satay halloumi, courgette gratin and rice. 2 chocolate truffles for dessert

@PhycadelicSilhouette sorry you have been feeling low, good to see you back here. Thanks for enquiry, I am eating like a horse and enjoying nearly everything now, have my last chemo scheduled for this coming Friday so will have a yucky period after that, but am so looking forward to having the treatment behind me!
Yes the brownies are finished! But I made gingerbread for a friend's birthday do last night and she sent us home with some . .

Thank you @Bloodybridget, so pleased you’re enjoying your food for now!
Sending you (and and ) for Friday! I hope it doesn’t leave you feeling yucky for too long and how absolutely fantastic that it will be the last one!
Ooh the gingerbread sounds delicious! It is the season for gingerbread and Parkin so enjoy!
